Hey all,
You've probably noticed that it's gotten harder in the past few months to recruit quality people who will stay and with fewer people, clan activity hasn't been as high as before. It's not just this clan, I've noticed it on global and in the other clan I've been on. It's great that we have a lot of the core good members have been here for so long and that's really what matters, but I'm concerned that we may not have enough core members to continue keeping people engaged for the long-run. It's also great that we are getting more activity with wars to keep people involved and to use it to increase the clan level, but we've got about 20 members with some 2nd and 3rd accounts here and that's not sustainable to keep people active and engaged.
That's why I think we should consider a move of a couple of weeks to Supermans to see if we can work together as a larger team for donations, war, and leadership. If at the end of the couple weeks and either of the two groups decide it's not working out, we go back to WeDonate!!! I'm happy to leave my account in the clan and I don't think other people would mind keeping 2nd or 3rd accounts here to keep WeDonate!!! warm during the trial period.
Both clans I'm in have 1) good leaders, 2) good core members, and 3) good culture about helping each other and weeding out leechers but both could use more good people to 1) opportunities to engage with more people 2) to give more opportunities to donate, and 3) have a steadier roster for wars. I've been with WeDonate!!! at least 2 years now and Supermans since the spring, so I think both groups are similar enough with how they approach the game and treat members that moving would work for the benefit of both groups without changing either culture. Both groups have gone through high levels of members, people leaving, and activity being lower than before.
Members from WeDonate!!! will have an opportunity to learn from people who do more frequent wars and opportunities to work with other active members.
Members from Supermans will have an opportunity to trade tips with high level people and see how we better manage leechers or enforce donations.
The only reason I'm proposing that people from WeDonate!!! move to Supermans is that they're a lvl 5 clan and it would be a better use of wars to add to a lvl 5 clan instead of bumping up a lvl 3 clan. As Omit has said before, the donation bonus in a lvl 5 clan helps make lower lvl donators useful to higher lvl receivers. A higher clan level makes it easier to recruit quality members and keep current members interested and engaged.
I don't think any of the leaders in this clan would have a problem showing that they're leadership material in the clan and getting recognized for it.
I brought this possible move up with the members at Supermans and they're ok with people from WeDonate!!! coming. I said the people here were good and vouched for the leadership here. If you're concerned about keeping your co or elder title, I will give you my co title there after you continue to show leadership there during the trial period. Elder there is given after using both atks in a couple of wars and demotions happen quickly for failing to atk in wars. Co is given after being there for some time but not as long as WeDonate!! takes. That's more of a function of having fewer long-term leaders compared to us.
There are some points I want to make absolutely clear:
1) None of the people at Supermans were the ones who came up with the idea. I thought it would be in the interest of both groups and mentioned it a few days ago with positive reactions.
2) I don't plan on leaving the WeDonate!!! regardless of what happens.
3) I think this will be
I'm happy to respond to questions or concerns. If you want to ask questions to members in Supermans, you can go there and ask and I'll invite them to the board to discuss too.
