Please note that the other topic in this section does not go in depth on most of the stuff in this tutorial
So, you want to make a clan but don't know where to start? Don't worry its all easy stuff.
Step 1:The name.
Unsure what to call your clan?
Your clan will need a name what will sound cool For example: ViperEX
Or if you want to use a really large clan name shorten it down to the first letter of each word EG: United Global Task Force would become UGTF
The name of your clan will go in your username between the bars and then your rank outside the bar on the Right for example: [UGTF]Rec. (Random name here)
Step 2: The website.
The first thing you will need is a website i myself recommend Wordpress as that is what 65% of the clans on PB2 use but if you can find a Website builder what will will work go for it.
So, lets begin.(this will be on wordpress)
1. The layout of your site, For the layout you will want a theme with the menu at the top and a sidebar(this will show recent comments, posts etc.)
2.Do not add very bright colours as this will look unproffesional its better to go for a really dark colour and to use white(or a light grey) font colour
3. Add pages to your clan
Here is a example of a very basic clan website(You may copy the stuff throughout the site)
https://shadowpb2.wordpress.com/
Step 3: Communications.
So you've got a basic website up and running and now you want to communicate to your members.(You can either choose one of these chats or all)
Discord chat
This is pretty self explanatory and simple to make.
Go to the Discord website and it will guide you on how to make a chat
(Then send the link to your members)
Xat chat
1.To make a xat chat go to any random chatroom
2.Press"get chatbox"
3. Edit your chat to a style you like.
4. Copy the code for your chat and paste it on your wordpress.
PB2 Chat
With the new addition of the channels feature on the PB2 chat you can now make your clan chat on it.
To make a channel press the green "Create new channel" button In the bottom left corner
Then press the Red "Edit channel" button and change the settings You can allow YT videos and even images on the chat.
Step 4: Recruiting
To recruit members there is multiple ways
Ask a few of your friends if they want to join your clan.
Make a game in your preffered Server and call it "Clan recruiting" The map could be anything from a base map to a saw map or even a arena map.
You can even post your site on the forums(this will bring you more critisism than members)
Step 5: Keeping your clan active.
To keep your clan active you must play a minimum of one match with them everyday.
You can start tournaments to keep members busy and happy
Playing a saw map with your clan will help them to know multiple tricks of PB2 like selfboosting or flying think of it like training.
Step 6: Have fun.
Clans are not always about wars and fighting rivals, clans are about friendship and having someone to talk to. If your in a clan what makes you sad then it is not a proper clan, think of your clan as like a football team you have to rely on everyone on your team.
