I'm semi-interested in joining a clan but it needs to meet the following criteria:
1. The clan has to be fun. I don't want to join clan that's focused on winning week in week out. I want the clan to be able to take a joke and have fun and mess around.
2. The community of the clan has to be active, welcoming, and enjoyable. Don't advertise if your clan flames other clans constantly or has really immature people. I understand that all clans have some immature people but I want a clan where the majority of the community is respectful and fun to be around.
3. I don't want to be pressured. I don't want to be pressured into training, I don't want to be pressured into performing, and I don't want to be pressured into coming to every single event. I don't play RuneScape very much anymore and if I'm going to join your clan you have to understand that I can't come to every event and that I just want to have fun.
4. Don't advertise if your clan sucks. I want a clan with an active member base, preferably 60+ members and you get no less than 30 to events. Your clan needs to be organized as well, I don't want to fight with a bunch of people who can't work together as a clan.
5. I want a clan around my combat level. I'm currently 68 combat so any clan that has a majority of its members in the 60s and 70s range. Don't advertise if your clan has mainly 50s or lower and don't advertise if your clan is mainly 80s or higher. I'm not too worried about the levels so much so if your clan is close to this that's fine.
6. The staff and leadership of your clan needs to active, intelligent, and respectful. You lead through example and if your leadership is poor, the members will be poor as well.
A little about my clanning history: When I first started with pures I joined several clans and stayed till the death in most of them. This was before there was an established Pure Community and it was mainly unorganized. I tried my hand in leading clans and I made Valiance, which later merged into S I N which altogether lasted more than a year and a half. I was in The Hatred for a short stint then my pure got banned. I made Ascendency as a low level clan and it gradually worked its way up and lasted 2+ years. Ascendency died recently and now I'm considering joining another clan.
I've been around the pure community for a very long time now and I'm very experienced in pure clanning. I know all the clans the would potentially advertise and I will consider your clan's history in my decision if I do make one. If you truly are interested in me joining your clan and you have read all the criteria please make a personal response. Include your clan's website and IRC and do your best to persuade me to join your clan. The longer the response is the better. I have quite a few friends in many different clans but I'm far more concerned in the community of your clan.
