Clan leaders, how do you lead ?

Big +1 to that, I was really trying to keep it simple because a clan leader (a good one) has a lot to think about.

No, it's okay, I had a feeling when I first thought about the post that this is a potential can of worms waiting to burst. I just hope it's for the better

For PiGS, I acted as den mother since it has a high rate of kids. For ?ARthogs? A work in progress. Mostly making sure newbies get guidance. Not enough funds to sponser any contests yet.

Honestly all i look for in clans are cool tags beside my name, and squads occasionally. I always face a dilemma, if i choose clans from my time zone to squad often, they cant speak english. If i choose english speaking clans, i always play when they sleep. Anyway, my current clan (NS) is a pretty good clan, they speak english and if i wake up earlier i can manage to catch a few squad runs

We decided that having on single leader is tough on that one person so we are more of an Autocratic structure, to spread the load. You need a very good officer structure to make it work though. Having to be able to actually listen to the other guys and take it on board when sometimes you disagree. Lucky enough the officers in the Wiki clan (android) are freaking awesome guys and people I now look upon as friends, not just team mates.

Interesting post.

I insist on leading by example, from my teammates side rather than ahead or behind them. I do everything in my ability to help each clan member with any game question they field or point them in a direction to where they can get an answer. 

Using FB or Line chats and to a lesser degree the pesky in-game chat, I share concerns and strategy with clan-mates that grows many times to friendships that have moved beyond the game. 

I aim to be the person I am in the game as I am in real life... Supportive, compassionate, understanding, friendly, respectable and a good listener.

in the Iron Warriors and Iron Warriors the clan leadership shuffles to various members who assume the role and rotate the leadership from time to time. When Issues arise in certain clans, usually theres a consensus met to solce the issue. I really dig how it works. 

Let me preface by saying I am not a War Robots clan leader. In the other hand, I spent a year leading a truly strange beast in another game. It was... An interesting and crazy experience. I learned a lot and watched a game I enjoyed become a job I hated. Eventually real life events and burn out took its toll and I stepped down.

As for what my goals were... Content creation, delegation of duties, and being the final word when needed.

From the sounds of it, many of you help create content. This occurs when you hold events outside the normal gameplay. This is harder in War Robots where you can't easily create a tournament or the like. Still, the point is to create and engage users so they get more value out of being in the clan then they do being solo. This could be getting a forum or voice chat going, organizing tournament style events, and the like.

Deligating... Look... Any big clan needs officers and members active at all hours. Who can kick the idiot in comms when you are sound asleep? Who can hold a tourney to keep the AU time zone happy when the EU is at work and US is asleep? Who can run to redit to hype recruitment and even share a common language when you don't? No one can do it all And of they can, your group is not that big. Learning when to deligate, who to trust, who is reliable and who is just spouting hot air, that is tough but managing it is part of being the leader.

Lastly, being the final mediator. Look... Some arguments are clear cut. That idiot spouting anti-semantic comments is easy to kick. The argument over whether an orkan/Pinata Gary or a taran/mag one is better that seems ready to split the clan apart... Far tougher. Striking that middle ground or telling the kids enough is enough, let it go and move on is tough. It's part of what you have to do. You may get hated for it but well... Such is the role you chose.

All that said... I did my duty. I ain't starting a War Robots clan.

Fear is temporary, lead with love. Much more effective.

I had stripes in FX, and served briefly as Chief, gladly handing the reins back to UP when he returned. UP recently stepped down, but was exemplary imo, an encourager, whip cracker now and then, had his officer's backs, and like cheap toilet paper, he didn't take crap off anyone. He put a lot of himself into the job, and I enjoyed my time in FX.

I woke up this morning and opened the War Robots app while I was in the bathroom... and to my surprise, my clan leader made me an officer sometime after midnight while I was sleeping, so now I dislike something about him... He didn't ask me if I wanted to be an officer nor has he told me what he expects me to do as an officer. I guess I'm supposed to invite players to the clan? Lol I'm not going to ask him because he told me when I joined that we're basically a clan of mercenaries, which is why I haven't left.

Then you're doing it wrong. 

Do some clans have prohibited bot types/styles? YIKES!

That's... interesting...
