Clans
| Game Interface |
|---|
From this screen you may create a clan or join one for which you have been authorized to do so. To join an existing clan, simply type the Clan ID (tag) and Password. If you are already in a clan, you may choose to leave it from this screen as well.
Creating a Clan
Clan Name: The name of your alliance. It is generally a good idea to give your alliance a proper name so people can easily identify you.
Clan Tag: Is an abbreviated or short form of your clan name which is how you will be listed on scores pages and third party hosting sites.
Clan Website: A link for which people can apply to your clan. This is usually linked to the application form on a hosting site like Boxcar or GHQNet. If you are not recruiting, this field may be left blank.
Clan Password: This is the password you will give to people to join your alliance. It is good practice to keep this under guard. Clans without passwords, or passwords that have willingly been made public are known as 'spam tags'. This practice, though within the rules of the game is frowned upon.
Administrative Password: This is a password given to members of your alliance who hold leadership positions. People with this password are given permission to perform administrative functions (see below).
Administrative Options
Clan administrators have a small (but important) set of options available from this screen:
- Clan administrators may send mass messages in-game to all countries belonging to the tag. Using this feature for malicious purposes such as sending spam to players is a bannable offense.
- Members may be removed from an alliance by entering their number in the appropriate box and clicking the button below.
- Your homepage link may be changed.
- Clan and Admin passwords may also be changed here.
