A comprehensive guide to the inevitable end of all clans.

Method 1:

1: Have an unhinged leader.

2: Let said leader be completely in control of all clan management.

3. When unhinged leader finally loses it and boots the entire clan, do nothing and slowly fade away.

Method 2:

1. Have no real leader at all.

2. Slowly die out while refusing to replace inactives.

Method 3:

1. Have a leader whose ego is only matched by his thickheadedness.

2. Set unreasonable recruiting prereqs, that can only be justified by being a clan who has the advantages that would attract the players who meet such requirements.

3. Slowly die of inactivity.

4. Refuse to lower requirements even after realizing you have nothing to offer the highly limited market of players who would meet your requirements. Thus proving you would rather die than evolve to survive.

1. Never live to begin with.

Let these clans and their deaths be a lesson to us mortals; even the best of us do fall, and if we allow incompetent management to have its way, some of us shall never recover.

As a clan, you must accept that entropy is inevitable. No matter how active you are today, your members will find other entertainment at some point, or they will leave to keep paying the real-life bills... or they will die. That extends to management as well unfortunately, so you must have some kind of backup plan if management fails. The likelihood of these clans making a comeback appears to be diminishing by the day, especially when their managers blatantly ignore mails from those offering to help. I would find it a shame if the DARKLORDS outlives those on the list, but I guess some things can't be helped. :)

what about wacos and UN

I'm not informed enough about wacos' activities to know if they are extinct, but I would suspect they would fall under the "DARKLORDS" category.

UN & LN fall under their own category, which I'll add to the list.

shit how'd you find my bucket list

DARKLORDS is not extinct.

So you claim. I see a dead clan with a leader who hasn't earned any points in 30 days, a leader who let a troll sign his clan up for CL (and still has five* of the troll's alts in his clan????) and has done nothing but spam invites and "Hail DARKLORDS! Stay DARK!" messages. Correct me if I'm wrong, maybe it is true that what is dead can never die, but the DARKLORDS clan was never given a chance to truly thrive.


*Apparently two, actually. I forget what happened to the other three.

"what is dead can never die"












..

I see a dead clan with a leader

"Holistically", as they say, this clan earns most points of all clans.

a leader who let a troll sign his clan up for CL

CL's to blame for letting trolls do that, don't see why this matters with Darklordio.

spam invites

and what's wrong with that? just an all-inclusive clan, unlike you elitists like Poon Squad

Did I read you wrong, or did you just call the Poon Squad an elitist clan??

Edited 11/15/2016 13:17:45

I concur with Xapy. The Poon Squad and other elitist clans need to stop being so close-minded.

This is why the Poon Squad is the greatest warlight clan of all time. We don't fall into any of these categories and we are still super duper active. Hell I don't know if you heard but one of warlight's most celebrated players broke the record for most simultaneous games with 100. WTG Jamrod.

Oh yeah, I heard about it. Congratulations, ALE of Divided We Fall! Even though you propably don't read the forums.

Don't forget:

Method 6:

Step 1: Be hijacked

I'm not sure who Dale is but Poon crew was talking about the great jamrod, inaugural inductee into the warlight hall of fame

I don't know who Dale is either, but I was talking about the first WL player to have 100 (and even 200!) Warlight games running at a time.

Onoma I don't know who you're talking about, jamrod was the first to reach that number. Didn't you see Pooncrew's post?

Old CORP is still here https://www.warlight.net/Clans/?ID=60

ALE played a lot of lottery games when he did it. Jamrod is doing it with all legitimate Official Poon Squad Games

Link them all! We must have proof ^_^

Why don't you lower your requirements and mass-recruit to create a community therefore avoiding extinction , Which would be better then extinction?
