[b]Clans will be created, my white paper(bag): [/b] I will try to explain how I did it for my clan (and community), this because you need to know a few things, especially if you are having shared clan ownership (shared overlords). So, because of the clan support, we have created all the existing TPG clans with a TPG Live ID (we are using the TPG mail system for the email address, this to make live easier, I’ll explain). After the creation of the clan names (and Silver account), the account will be transferred to the General, so that they can add the clan members by using the Xbox Live website or, by using a recovered account on the Xbox 360 (see my first post in this thread). Because we are using the Silver Xbox Live membership, the clans are totally free of costs (I had to repeat this). When a general is adding his members, they should work on the symbols for ranking; add the motto and maybe more information about your clan. Look at the example of TPG MOUNTIEZ LV, this clan is ready to go and all the member requests (clan invites) have been send (now waiting for the confirmations). [b]A few points of consideration: [/b] - A clan name should be written in UPPERCASE and add the name CLAN under ‘Motto’? - Gamers can be a clan member in one or more clans (we prefer only one; dedication) - Pending requests are hidden for others - By requesting the total list of members (See Personal Information or setup in http://www.xbox.com/fof/ ) the viewer will not see their own name. To determine if he/ she is clan member, they should look in their own friends lists. - The clan names are hit proof, because TPG can recover the Live ID accounts (by using our own mail server). Not every community will have such, so try to agree about who is the gatekeeper and (shared)owner. Within 15 minutes I was finished; it’s not hard to do (adding FR by using the website is so easy) Then, be patient, this is a new approach, but also transparent, gamers will get the picture soon enough. Good luck with sending the invites (use the Xbox Live website, copy and paste if you have the Halo 2 clan list). Let’s have some clan matches soon! Cheers, TPG Woozy [i]A few disadvantages in a bag:[/i] - Xbox Live Silver is free now… - Clan names can be hijacked - One Microsoft Live ID max. per Clan name - There are no clear symbols (or options in the profile) to indentify if it’s a clan or a person. So use the green default Xbox Live Logo to create a trend [quote] Thanks Ash ;-) [/quote] [Edited on 12.05.2007 5:38 AM PST]
