What do all you clan leaders look for in a possible new recruit for your clan? (aside from the obvious: they must be active) Is it strong campaign or battle level or a good mixture of both?
What are your comments?

depending on the clan id say its also the type of person, you can help people become better players if theres stuff there you can work with, if your active and have a good personality i think your more likely to get recruited, if your a jerkoff even if your the best player out there, nobody wants to know you or care... and your more likely to get in a newb clan.

omg then dorw how did u get into the fsa if nobody likes jerks

Most clans look for campaign skills and, like has been said, personality. As for CoC, nothing will grab our attention faster than taking one of our upper-tier battlers and kicking their ass.

You have to be insane. And able to defeat Mal in combat (in other words: be above level 20). Then we take you in

Ok now I shall work on being semi-nice to people, while beating the living daylights out of them... Attempt again at taking on somebody with a massively larger rank (my last attempt failed miserably but if at first you don't succeed, try try again!) I'm sure by the time I can do that, I will have found every possible way to loose and as such will be unable to do so again!

I'd think you'd become very adapt at it.

I've been studying this very question for several months now on my own. My own observations, not necessarily in order:

Clan games are 12 hour games. Logging on once a day is inadequate. Twice per turn is more like it, so a minimum of 4 log-ons per day.

Being able to stand on your own in a Campaign. Then being able to do it concurrently with 4 other players... against 5 other players. Individual as well as Clan "battlefield vision" is crucial.

A clan leader that is a demonstrated leader.

A PLAN.

Communication... by any and all means available.

Campaign skills are paramount (when to Tech, develop economically/militarily, etc.) This includes overall deployment of troops during any turn, whether offensive, defensive, or gathering resources. Also includes knowing when to build Palisades/Outposts/Walls/Towers/Drawbridges, or to remove any of the same.

Battling skills run a very close second. Without these, even with a great economy and clan members, a player will quickly become a liabilty.

. Adaptability.
. Willingness to follow orders.
. Letting it be known when an order cannot be followed, or a plan upheld.

...just a few ideas

subbie im sorry but you dont know me well enough to cast dispersions on my character... i do think that personally i am nice to most everyone, and even people i find annoying i am nice too. i only get rude when i am treated rudely.

For me, I look for people willing to have a good slaughter...

subbie,
DoRW is not only one of the founders of FSA (which is why he's in the clan) ... but also he's a nice person and a very nice battler.

dorw is THEE founder =P raptor and big were 2 of my first recruits =P and also closest friends.

subbie,
DoRW is the founder of FSA (which is the ONLY reason he's in the clan)

thank you gue.... w...wait a minute... *Tackles gueritol and duct tapes his limbs and then gags him* Stupid upstarts and there mockery.... all will fa.... er... *cough* as i was saying im actually a nice person once you get to know me... *notices gue moving and kicks him till he lays still* seriously!

* Everyone stares at DoRW and takes 2 LARGE steps back * Oh boy...

* Hosh-i runs away *

* trying to speak through the gag *

mmhbsubhiem,

DHRbroGWH,

gihgs nghot wnghizce!!

MhGWeDEMHlWGp!!! ..

*repeatedly kicks gueritol a few more times till he settles down* IM NICE DAMN YOU... NICE I SAY!!

The Cruaders look for players that are active and if not already a good player, then one that is trainable.....

~that is just my opinion tho~

We have had the rule in the past about beating one of our top players, but i personally think that is a little much, you can always help them become better players!

As you can see PoD, FSA has a simmilar rule about beating one of their players ...

* continues to crutch down in the ground as DoRW keeps on kicking *

~Slips Gueritol a knife to untie himself, to bite DorW when he comes back to kick you again~
