How to become a
member:
Don't ask us, we'll ask you. Okay, you
can ask, but don't bug us to death... ;-)
If you have an interest in KYA, just hang with us. Try to catch
us online, and make friends with us. You can add {KYA}
to your GameSpy buddy list, and also
check out the servers section of this web site
to locate us. Stop by our Message
Board and say "hi".
The purpose of this rule is to keep to a minimum people
asking for "try-outs" and asking to be in the clan. Our
response to "how can I get in KYA?" is to refer to this
page.
Get Sponsored. Each potential new member
needs to have a current active member sponsor you. All this means is
that you must have (or make) a friend in KYA to be considered. We
are all friends, and we want to keep it that way... it's more fun!
The purpose of this rule is to help keep the close
family feel that we have in KYA. If no one is willing to sponsor
you, it probably means you do not fit in well with our mentality.
Also, your sponsor is someone to ask questions, and your sponsor has the
responsibility of introducing you to the rest of the clan, and keeping
track of your attendance.
Attend a minimum of 4 meetings.
Meetings are for members and invited guests only. To get
invited to a meeting, see #1 and #2.
Meetings are every Tuesday night at 8:30pm CST. Currently we
meet in IRC in #KYA. See our chat page
for details.
The purpose of this rule is two-fold. It gives our
current members sufficient time to get to know you over the course of at
least one month. Also it serves as a test to make sure you are
really interested, and that wanting in KYA is not a passing fancy.
Win a 70% majority vote
on your membership.
Voting criteria is based
on your attitude, personality, and ability to "fit in" with the
group.
This may sound like a popularity contest, but it's really
just to make sure that we have "like minded" people in the
clan. If you don't fit with us, it's not your fault, it's
ours.
Rules of conduct for members:
You must have a good sense of humor.
No bad attitudes or bad sportsmanship on any servers.
No cheating of any kind.
Rules for maintaining membership:
Follow the rules of conduct.
Remain active, or
at least in contact with the clan.
Note: There is currently no requirement to participate in
matches. Quite a few of our members are "social only" and simply
enjoy the company, and fragging with the group.
Multi-clanning: Members are permitted to be in multiple clans as long as the other clan is not competing on the same ladder as KYA. Also KYA must take precedence over the other clan if there are scheduling conflicts.
Membership Ranks:
Clan Leader - Oversees clan business. All major decisions in the clan are by majority vote.
Captain - Can organize matches. Provides backup to the Clan Leader.
Active Member - Has the right to
participate in matches, vote on proposals, and access the Private Discussion.
Notification of clan events will be sent to all Active members via ICQ
and/or Email.
Active members should regularly check the private
and public
message boards for Clan announcements. Also, only active members can
sponsor potential members, and propose votes.
Inactive Member - Same as Active, but will not receive notification of clan events, and should not sponsor new members, or propose votes. Active members will be moved to Inactive if they are out of contact with the group for a couple months (unless a reason is given) or by request.
Past Member - No longer in the clan. Past members have either requested to leave, or we have lost complete contact with them.
Kicked Member - Dishonorably discharged. This would be someone that was asked to leave the clan based on their inability to follow the rules of conduct. This has never happened.
We focus mainly on fun, and it just so happens that we can kick
some major butt while we're at it. J
We also gain great pleasure from Killing bad Attitudes.
