Clans (Usergroups), for those unfamiliar, are member organized and run groups of people. They may share similar styles of play, geographic location, other varying interests, or perhaps may just be a group of friends (or enemies) looking to get together in some organized fashion. Clans are what you make them, that is the beauty.
Here is a step-by-step guide for finding the Clan of your dreams:
______________________________________
- Take a moment to browse through the titles in the Create/Join a Clan sub-forum. The TAGS [Forming] or [Recruiting] in the title of the Clan will lead you to Clans that are looking for new members.
- [Forming] = A new Clan trying to take shape and looking for the needed 9 founding members.
- [Recruiting] = Existing Clans that are actively seeking new recruits.
- Choose the Clan you are interested in and enter the thread. Carefully read the first post to find all the details about that Clan. Pay special attention to things such as:
- The purpose of the Clan
- [Competitive] or [Social]
- Discussions and/or Challenges
- What are the Clan Rules
- Expectations
- Current rosters
- If the Clan looks like one you would enjoy being a part of, you can sign up to become a new Clan member:
- [Forming] threads = All this takes is a reply in the thread. Most of the time a simple "I would like to be in your Clan." will be fine, but be sure to see if you need to include any other information such as interest or minimum requirements.
- [Recruiting] threads = All this takes is a reply in the thread. Most of the time a simple "I would like to be in your Clan." will be fine, but be sure to see if you need to include any other information such as interest or minimum requirements.
Now that you have made your post in the [Forming] or [Recruiting] thread, all that is left for you to do is patiently wait for the response from the (forming) Clan Leader if you fit in the Clan or not. Sometimes this only takes a couple of days. Just check back on the thread every so often to see if there are any updates you need to know about.
- [Forming] threads = All this takes is a reply in the thread. Most of the time a simple "I would like to be in your Clan." will be fine, but be sure to see if you need to include any other information such as interest or minimum requirements.
- You can also search on the Usergroups page on your User Control Panel for finding the Clan of your dreams:
- If the Clan is a freely open group, you can automatically join the Clan by clicking on the "o" behind the Clan name.
- If the clan is an open group, you can can apply to join the Clan by clicking on the "o" behind the Clan name.
- If the clan is a closed group, you can only join upon invitation of the Clan Leader.
- If the Clan is a freely open group, you can automatically join the Clan by clicking on the "o" behind the Clan name.

How to form a Clan
If you have the skills, attitude and personality you can form your own Clan and become a Clan Leader of your own Clan on Conquer Club.
But before you create a new forming Clan read the step-by-step guidelines that provide the perfect source how to form, host, and run your own clan i.e.for victories in the Clan Challenges or be the host of a discussion .
Until you are familiar with the process, my advice would be to read it all before you form your own Clan. That way, no one will be surprised and having a lot of questions as you go through the process.
______________________________________
There are several tactics to starting a clan.
The most basic way is to post in Create/Join a Competitive Clan telling everyone that you are creating a clan and are looking for players.
It is recommended that you have some players/friends already ready to join your clan before you post in the public forum.
By doing this, it shows that you already have a good start and a solid core of players.
Clearly detailing what your clan is about and what your clan offers is also important, especially if it is unique that no other current clan offers.
Sell other players on why they should join your clan.
All Clan Events and almost all Clan Battles use a one competitive clan rule.
(you will have very little chance in finding any action when you have members that are already in a different Competitive Clan)
What do you need for becoming Official :
- 1. 9 members and 1 leader
2. A name for the clan/group
3. A description
4. Submit the above information Eticket with the group member's names on it.
5. It may take a few days to become offical after that.
- Usergroups of 9 or less "Active Scoreboard users (a game every 30 days to appear on the Scoreboard), will be given a deadline to re-energize inactive members or gain new active members, otherwise the Usergroup Forum and possibly the Usergroup itself, may face deletion.
- All usergroups must always keep their own private forum active at least every month as part of their maintenance to keep their clan, otherwise the Usergroup itself, may face deletion.

How to Leave a Clan
______________________________________
Go to Usergroups
Select the usergroup, scroll down to the drop-down menu, select "Resign Selected" and press the submit button.
- Click image to enlarge.
If your clan is set as your default group, this won't work. In that case, ask one of your clan leaders to remove you.
Other option is to submit an Eticket with the request of being removed from a usergroup.
If you have any questions, concerns, or ideas, as you go through it, feel free to contact any one of the Clan Directors. That’s what they are here for…to help you have fun on the Clan section.
