General meeting notes
Professionalism:

Remember while being a member of Xiled Gaming you are expected to uphold a professional gaming demeanor at all times. There is no reason to be yelling at other members, messaging in all caps or trash talking other members in the community. We are all here for the same reason, to have a group of people that we enjoy gaming with every day. Remember the golden rule: treat others how you want to be treated.


Generals and Squad meetings:

Generals, it is your responsibility to communicate to your Captains that they need to run the Clan meeting if you are unable to, and it is also your responsibility to run a Captain's squad meeting if they are unable to hold it as well. If you cannot make the weekly mandatory Generals meeting you must inform your Captains so that one of them may take your place to receive the notes for the week.

Community Wide Support

As leaders in the community, we are all responsible for getting to know all members, starting with when they are recruits and continuing on from there. Our members are looking to have fun, possibly compete in battles and to game, but as leaders we need to be there and listen to them as we might be all they have. Have patience and let ALL members know that your door is always open, whether its clan business or personal. COMMUNICATION is always the key to success and without that communication we would not be the leaders we are today.

Treat others how you would want to be treated, and remember that you never know what others might be going through in their life.

Transfers

As a reminder, transfer must be initiated by the member who is wishing to move, and they need to follow their chain of command in order to complete the transfer. Transfers go in this order: member to current General, who goes to their XS, then the XS needs to go to the XS of the incoming clan who goes to the General of the clan the member wishes to go to. From start to finish, the transfer process needs to be completed within 72 hours (3 days) of when the member requests the transfer. If a member wishes to transfer into your clan and you don't think they are a good fit, you are able to deny the incoming transfer. We do not deny outgoing transfers unless they are a problem child or we feel the transfer could harm the community.

When doing transfers, Generals still need to submit removal requests - the member should not leave the usergroup themselves as then there isn't a paper trail to look back on for research purposes.

Clash of Clans

The Xiled Gaming Clash of Clans is looking for more active members. If you're interested in joining or have any questions about the clan please feel free to hit up the leaders of the clan which are XGC Horus XS & XGC BE BAD.

Discord Usage

Remember that you as a General have the ability to assign roles to members when they join into your division Discord server - make sure you and leadership are getting the link out to new members and getting them assigned so all your members have access to the clan chat box and can communicate with their fellow clan members. Make sure you and your leadership are putting out clan news and announcements as needed, as well as using the leadership channel. Communication is the key to success!

Holding Leadership Accountable

As a General, you must hold your Captains and Lieutenants to their responsibilities as listed in the rank structure - making sure you are calling them out for what they are doing well and what they need to improve on. This includes making sure that your leaders are on top of holding squad meetings and game nights every week, and looking at their online activity - specifically on if they are playing with their squad members to ensure no member is left behind. This in turn is a part of your responsibilities as a General, to ensure your clan is developing and progressing as it should, instead of staying stagnant or declining. This means making sure that everyone is doing their jobs as detailed in the rank responsibilities and rank structure.

If someone is missing and not completing a couple of responsibilities, talk to them early - see what's causing them to complete some things and not others. If you head it off at the pass before it gets really bad, you more than often will be able to prevent your clan from going stagnant or eventually dying, but if you don't talk to them early you'll have a much bigger issue on your hands. Being proactive instead of reactive will make things easier on both you and the leadership within the clan.

That being said, when someone is having issues and not fulfilling those responsibilities, you have an obligation to talk to that leader and tell them - not just deciding after a few weeks that it isn't working, without trying to help them turn it around.

Upcoming Games and New Consoles

As a reminder, we brought this up about a month ago - the new Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S are due to release in just over a month on November 10th.
Over the next couple of weeks, we need you to get with your clan and members to find out who is getting new consoles, new games, and making sure you and your leaders are prepared for any changes ahead of time.

As always, if your clan needs to change what your primary games are, please let your Section Leader know so they can submit an Update Clan request through the Help Desk to help keep those games up to date for potential transfers, members returning through the GWG, etc.

Name Changes

When members want to change their name to add KoG, SYN, or XGC in the front, please make sure they are aware that they need to get approval before simply changing their name. Your Section Leader needs to approve the name and then the member should be changing it on the website prior to changing it on Xbox.

Two key things are checked prior to gamertags being approved by your Section Leader.
1. Clan Names - if someone is asking for a gamertag but it is the name of a clan in any of the three divisions, it cannot be approved.
2. Current Members - if someone currently has a gamertag that is the same, or similar, to someone who has been active within the last (3) years, the name cannot be approved. This can be checked through the website under "Members" as well as the regular search function. If you need help, ask before approving something to avoid multiple members having the same gamertag.
https://www.xiledgaming.com/threads/name-change-requests.70847/

Poaching

Within Xiled Gaming, we have a specific definition when it comes to poaching.
If you feel poaching is happening or you experience it first hand, please deal with it immediately and ask for help if you need it.

1. Actively recruiting members of another community.
2. Targeting members of a specific clan to cause issues.
3. Offering promotions for recruitment into that said clan.

Decisions - Long & Short Term Effects

When you and your leaders make decisions, it's important to evaluate the short-term and long-term impact of those decisions. If you make a decision that will fix something short-term but will have a negative effect in the long-term, you need to decide if that's truly the right thing to do. Demoting someone who isn't fulfilling their responsibilities might have a short-term negative effect, but in the long-term it will be better for the clan because people won't see someone staying in a leadership rank who doesn't deserve to hold it which will have a long-term positive effect.

Effective Communication

As a General, you should be able to clearly explain and answer frequently asked questions. If you don't know the answer, let them know that you will look into it and find out instead of saying that you don't know outright. Make sure you remain calm and collected while being professional during those conversations. Make sure you know the facts before presenting the final answer, instead of answering incorrectly and having to correct it later.

Running a Successful Clan

For you as a General, there are a few key things that all successful clans need to do. If these aren't happening, it is your responsibility to get the clan back on track and doing these things. Please ask for help as needed whether it's your XS, or the open door policy to come to the XDs, XCs or XIs.

1. Holding Clan Meetings & Game Nights weekly
2. Running Squad Meetings & Game Nights weekly
3. Handling issues within 48 hours of them arising to ensure drama is not happening within clans - using peers for support to do so as needed.
4. Ask members for feedback constantly to see what they would like to be different within the clan, to try to always improve and not stay complacent.
5. Play with all members and ensure nobody is left behind.

The environment that you create within your clan is completely up to you and your leaders - create the type of clan that you want and bring in members who will add and make that environment better, and when necessary, remove or transfer people who are ruining the environment for others.

We do NOT tell people who they can play and be in parties with. All of our members pay for their own Xbox Live subscriptions, so it isn't right to tell them who they can play and talk to.

See the Honor Code Number VI:
XG does NOT have ANY alliances with other gaming communities/clans! XG members will remain friendly and professional with ALL gaming communities at all times! ZERO TOLERANCE!

Username Changes

As a reminder, after your XS has approved a gamertag, the member needs to request to have it updated on the website before changing it on the Xbox.
In order to submit a name change request, the member simply needs to click or press their name in the top right corner of the site, and then choose Username Change.

Leadership Growth & Development

Development of leadership abilities should always be a high priority for you, leadership, and all clans. Thinking about how you communicate and speak to all members is crucial, as well as always conducting ourselves in a professional manner. Stay calm when handling situations. Gaining respect of members will go a long way, especially when looking out for potential future leaders and keeping clans successful, regardless of if they are in your section or not. Constantly learning, whether it's from your peers, your direct leadership, or non-leadership members is crucial. Asking for advice is key in growing yourself and keeping yourself motivated and driven to do the best you can do, which sometimes is simply knowing how and when to ask for help.

A good leader never allows complacency to take hold - stay on top of your game always, including making decisions in a timely manner. That will set you and your section up for success and be a good example to up and coming leaders who rely on you and your guidance. Make sure you are finding the balance between being involved, but also allowing your leaders to handle things within their capabilities as much as possible to allow them to grow and thrive. Even when they make mistakes, it's a part of the learning experience that oftentimes helps them to grow better, while also making sure that the same mistake isn't made twice.

Think outside the box and don't be afraid to try new ideas to see if they work, and encourage members to bring up their ideas for how to make the clan better. By setting up future leaders for success you'll make things easier for everyone, including yourself - let them find their own style of leadership and help them whenever possible, and don't be afraid of change as it is something that will always happen as times change and we have to adapt.

Winter is Coming

Busy season is coming for clans. Between cooler weather and game/console drops, activity will be picking up. It is also gonna open up the door for plenty of potential recruits. Let's make sure that we are not locked away into parties and missing out on future stepping stones of the community. Let's also make sure that as transitions are being made to the new games that we are not leaving some of our members behind on our previous main games.

Console Release Schedule
11/10 - Xbox Series S|X
11/12 - Playstation 5

Game Release Schedule
10/29 - Watch Dogs: Legion
11/3 - Dirt 5
11/10 - Destiny 2 Beyond Light / Assassin's Creed Valhalla / Gears Tactics
11/13 - Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War
11/19 - Cyberpunk 2077

Suggestions & Ideas

All leaders need to be open to hearing criticism as well as ideas and suggestions - there might be something that members consider an issue that we aren't aware of, and the only way we will know is by listening when someone brings it up. It also offers us an opportunity to look at the way we are currently doing something and evaluate if it's the best way to do that, or if we can take that feedback and improve what we are doing. It also can be an opportunity to educate someone who hasn't been properly trained or has been misinformed as a way to get them on the same page. Embracing new ideas can help your clan to stay strong and have an environment where members thrive and feel welcomed.

As always, bring ideas and thoughts up the chain of command and use the open door policy as needed - the only stupid question is the one that's never asked!

XG Bible

As a General, you have access to the XG Bible located here: https://www.xiledgaming.com/forums/xiled-gaming-bible.31/
This is a great resource if you are looking for an answer to a question and your XS isn't available, and it's a great area to go through during downtime to read through the posts and expand your knowledge base.

The Foundation of XG

XGC~ Xiled Gaming Clan ~ 18 and up, mature gamers
XGG~ Xiled Gaming Girls ~ female only
SYN~ SYNdicate ~ 16 and up, underground gamers
KoG~ Kings of Gaming ~ 16 and up- recreational gamers

The Honor Code is the foundation of Xiled Gaming whether you are part of SYN, KoG, XGC, or XGG. We all agreed to follow the honor code as well as what sets us apart from other clans and communities - our Rank Structure, Promotion Requirements, and Clan Structure. These are accompanied by communication, which is always the key to success, and the three Core Values of Xiled Gaming, this gives us an unbreakable foundation to stand upon. This will help prepare the pipeline of future leaders and also reinforce the reasons why XG is successful.

Recruitment Process

When recruiting, remember there is no need to fill a quota, your main goal as a recruiter should be quality before quantity. Meaning we want the quality recruits, because they will become a quality member. Quality recruits will also ensure a quality gaming atmosphere within the clan and community. This quality atmosphere is what XG was founded to create. This brings up the point of the what qualities a gamer must possess.
XG sees a quality gamer as someone who possesses:
- Sportsmanship
- Respect
- Fair Play

Several things are going to need to be covered when reading a recruit in, these things include:
- The Honor Code
- The Rank Structure
- Registering on xiledgaming.com as well as clancompete.com
- When registering on the website, username should match their Gamer Tag
- Meeting and practice times
- Who the General and XS are

Be the Leader Your Members Deserve on All Levels:

Get to know your leaders. Each leader has different personalities, perspectives, drive, and special needs. We must know our leaders on a personal level to properly evaluate what they need in order to grow as a leader. This may require more then just the normal conversation on Sundays or a meeting during the week. We should be gaming with our leaders, because there is so much you can find out about a person from listening to how they react in game settings. The key is to get close to your leadership but you also must set boundaries so you don't get emotionally involved. Once we figure out what drives the leaders, what their leadership goals are, as well as their strengths, and their personality, then we can make a game plan for each individual leader to ensure the utmost success.

Meetings

Section Leaders should be helping their Generals and making sure the topics are understood in case of any questions that may arise, and all topics being conveyed in meetings. Don't pick and choose what you want to cover, cover everything that pertains to members, and add clan specific information as well.

For each clan meeting, make sure that you are including some sort of training information - examples would include:
1. An article from the Honor Code
2. Something from the rank structure, clan structure, or promotion requirements
3. Core Values
4. Anything else to help train members/leadership

The goal of this would be to help prepare the leadership pipeline and make sure people are aware of all XG policies and rules, and will help the clan and community be successful.

Generals should be having conversations about the notes, not just reading verbatim, meetings are a great opportunity to have a captain or lieutenant lead the discussion as well, to make sure they know what they are going over and stimulate participation of the group.

Sensitive Information

As XG Leaders, we need to remind our members that while we don't control who you play or talk to, we do ask that you don't discuss clan business in front of people who don't need to hear it. If people are asking you questions about what's going on in a specific clan, division, or with specific leaders, let them know that you aren't comfortable discussing that with them.

When it comes to people asking general questions of course that's fine, but information that is for leadership within the community only can't be discussed with lower-ranking members or people outside of the community. For clarification and questions, please hit up your chain of command.

Meeting Notes 11/8/2020

Great Things Never Came
From Your Comfort Zone

Honor Code Section VII

Violation of the Honor Code will earn a Gamer a warning; two warnings and you will be banned from the community. Members caught purposely cheating and/or participating in manipulated online play will be immediately banned. No exceptions!

Religion & Politics

We are an online gaming community, meaning that we are here to game, not to talk about subjects such as religion and politics. Talking about these topics are deeply personal to each person, and talking about them can cause huge issues between clan members and even members in different sections or divisions, and have even caused clans to completely fall apart. Keep in mind that these topics should not be brought up between members and any discussions about these topics are very sensitive, so it's best to completely avoid discussions about them at all.

Official Communication

Official XG Communication should only take place on:
1. Xiled Gaming Website
2. Xbox Party Chat or Messages
3. Official XG Discord Servers

Creating Facebook groups, Discord servers, Kik chats, or anything else that is used to discuss clan business or Xiled Gaming topics besides the three official forms of communication will cost you your rank and possible membership in XG. This DOES NOT include chats or Discord servers for non-XG related topics, such as streaming Discords or official game Discord servers - if you need clarification, hit up your chain of command.

Discord is not mandatory for any ranks other than XS-XI, but is highly encouraged as a way to keep on touch with and meet other members who play the same games.


Sensitive Information

When speaking about information with leadership that is sensitive, whether over a party or in messages, make sure that this information isn't being brought up around members that it doesn't pertain to. This can be regarding promotions, demotions, warnings, etc. If a leader is spreading information around to members that it shouldn't be discussed with, disciplinary action will be taken which can include demotion or even removal from the community.

Working with Peers

To be successful as a group of leaders, we have to work together as a team. You have to be a strong enough leader to be able to put petty differences aside to work for the betterment of the whole team. There is no room for condescending remarks or attitudes when a peer comes to you for help. All leaders have had different experiences and have advice or perspectives to offer for specific situations or know how to answer a question that you might not know. Be willing to listen to ideas or perspectives, because it's hard for one person to consider all options and ideas by themselves. Make yourself an asset to anyone you can help when they are dealing with a situation they haven't had to previously.

Examples:
1. Clan is struggling and is rebuilding - offer advice or support so that person or clan doesn't feel like they are alone and that people have their back.
2. A clan struggles with recruiting new members, while your clan steadily brings in recruits on a regular basis. Tell them your tactics and even team up and go recruiting together to help them become more comfortable and also show them different ways that they hadn't tried.
3. Someone new has been promoted that was previously under you - be there to listen to their questions and offer advice to them as they become accustomed to their new rank, continue building that mentor/protégé relationship that you have already established.

Game Nights

We have community wide events which are hosted by our community Events Team, that are listed each week in meeting notes - if you or any member are interested in hosting events which are open to the entire community, please apply by posting an application here: EVENTS TEAM APP AREA

Members and leaders are welcome to host clan game nights, squad game nights, or even section game nights, but community wide events must be hosted by members of the official Events Team. Please be considerate that if a game night is already taking place on a night when someone else is doing an unofficial game night, it can pull people away from the opportunity of meeting other members across the community. If you have questions about the Events Team, please hit up either XGC Buffy XD or SYN JAChelle XS on Xbox.

With the NEW Call Of Duty Cold War game out, there should be no excuses to recruiting members. Get out and meet new people and get them in the community. Make sure we are holding every member accountable for recruiting. Remember quality over quantity. There is also New DLC's coming out. So let's try and get out there and game with new people and see if there are what we look for in Xiled Gaming.

Team Effort

Everything we do within Xiled Gaming is a Team Effort, regardless of Rank or which squad, clan, section, or division you may be in. Our community is based on the Honor Code, Rank Structure, Rules & Guidelines and Team Work. We pull the rope together and we succeed or fail together, but we always do it as a group. No one person is bigger then the whole, no one loss is more important than all the fun we have together. Here are just a few things we have to do to be the best Community we can be;

*Recruiting: Building our community is everyone's responsibility, no one person can do this alone, make sure you are bringing in good like minded gamers to be a part of the environment you want to create within your section, with this you will be helping us pull the rope. Just remember that we all are facilitators of fun!

*Training Recruits: It takes a whole clan to be open to new members, invite these potential members to games, welcome them, be a good example, show them the ropes, teach them about the community, and work with them so they can become a valued community member, as we grow its more important that we grow together.

*Clan & Squad Practices: Training together, learning the tactics or strategies for the clan games, getting to know each others playing styles, and learning from each other will prepare us for victory and help us learn from defeat.

*Clan Compete: As a team, everyone should put forth their own best effort in any in-game play, while maintaining the environment of good sportsmanship, regardless of if we win or lose, we always say good game!

*Meetings: Meetings are a great place to share ideas, celebrate successes, discuss any issues, offer feedback on how to improve our clan and squad environments, and vote on new recruits. Remember, we can't make things better without team work. Team Effort is what it is all about. More hands make lighter work!

*Communication: Exchanging thoughts and ideas with the intention of delivering information and goals. Communication is the key to success, not only within the community but also in both professional and personal scenarios. Successful leaders are those marked by their effective use of communication and understanding their followers.

No member gets left behind: ensue all gamers are involved with their squad and other clan members, make sure you and your leadership are reaching out to the ones who are not to find out why and if they can help get them more active and involved.


Section 9 Honor Code

BOTTOM LINE!!! Have fun, play games, and network with other gamers that share the same interest. At the end of the day, it is after all just a game!

Verifying Recruits

When recruiting members, please remember to do a check on the recruit to see if they were in the community previously. If they have been a part of XG before, you need to do some research to find out why they no longer are. If they were removed for anything besides inactivity, they do need to fill out a GWG application and wait for that process to be completed before they come back into any clans. When checking, use the search feature on the website to see if anything comes up under that name or any other prior names they provided to you.

Obviously some people won't be honest up front about the fact that they were previously in the community because they don't want to go through the GWG application, if you find out later that they were previously in XG make sure you are taking the proper steps of removing them and having them go through the GWG process before they come back.

Running a Clan / Decision Making

When you make decisions, make sure that you are using the best solution for the clan or squad and not being influenced by someone just because of a personal relationship you have with them. Generals are held accountable for any successes or failures that happen within their clan, so make sure that the decision-making process is sound and be sure to ask your chain of command or use the open door policy if you feel you want to bounce ideas or thoughts around. However, the final decision is up to you - advice can only go so far, only you will know if it will work or not work for your clan and members because you know them the best.

End of the Year / 2021 Goals

As a reminder, the end of the year is coming up fast - new consoles are out and new games have come out, make sure you aren't leaving any members behind. Keep in mind that this time of year is great for recruiting, with people getting new consoles and new games over holidays. Also remember that people may be taking time away from gaming to spend time with family, make sure you communicate absences with your chain of command and ask members to do the same so that you aren't surprised to not see them as much. What were your goals for this year? Ask for help accomplishing them, and also start thinking ahead to what you want to accomplish in 2021 - we need to work together as a team to help everyone get to where they want to be.

No Meetings Next Week

There will be no meetings next Sunday, 11/29/2020 due to the Thanksgiving Holiday - enjoy your weekend!

Meeting Notes 12/6/2020

Leaders become great not because of power but their ability to empower others


Stream Advertisement

The XG Communty Discord will now offer stream promotion and all things stream related. Follow for following, stream help, and stream suggestions. The point of this is for members to help new streamers, bring each other closer by being able to interact with members via stream and support each other's stream dream(s).

Cross-Platform Good News

We will be adding areas in the XG Discord for PlayStation gamers. This will include a place to share Activision IDs so Playstation gamers can cross-play and be apart of our community. They can utilize discord chats to communicate in-game or in-game lobby. The only requirement is that discord is used for these gamers. Them having the Xbox app is not required. If there is another game (PubG, Fortnite, rocket league, etc.) that needs to have these places created for such communication we will make those as well. There are no plans to make clans specific for PlayStation gamers. We are a gaming community and not specific to Xbox.

Clan & Squad Meetings

With Xiled Gaming welcoming gamers from Playstation and PC, clan and squad meetings can be held from the clan voice chat in the respective XG Divisional Discord as needed. It is not required to hold meetings via Discord, if you are able to hold meetings over Xbox and that is working for you then continue to do so, just know that it is an option to use Discord if needed. We will be adding areas for PC gamers in the XG Community Discord. These areas will offer a place for PC gamers to share Steam usernames, as well as areas for gamers to share the appropriate IDs so members can find people to play PC games with.

We will have game lobbies on discord for these games that will allow members to communicate on Discord if they choose to. The point of these changes is making the Xiled Gaming Discord open for everyone and to bring gamers together regardless of the platform they game on. We will be able to bring in new members and bring our current members together to play games across all platforms. We encourage all members to participate and share in these areas.

Xiled Leader Discord Chat

https://www.xiledgaming.com/threads/xiled-staff-discord-server.75159/

Make sure you are sending it to your leaders so they can join and be part of the Gen-XI chat as well as the Gen-XS chat for your division (KoG, SYN or XGC).

Additionally, Generals and above have the ability to assign roles to members when they join - make sure they are getting the link out to new members and getting them assigned so all members have access to their clan chat box and can communicate with their fellow clan members. Make sure leadership are putting out clan news and announcements as needed, as well as using the leadership channel. Communication is the key to success!

Clan Structure

The goal of the CLAN STRUCTURE is to create smaller, tighter, stronger more personal clans. A clan is a group of friends who gets on to play together. Think for a minute, when you turn on your console who are you looking for first? The people you look for or text before you turn on your console, those are your clan members.

Gone are the days of big clans. Gone are the days of dragging *** to get your clan split. Gone are the days of waiting for promotion. Do what's required for promotion, do what's required to split and it's going to happen. If it doesn't go straight to an XC or XI.

With XG being in so many games and having members on so many platforms we MUST execute our clan structure perfectly in order to ensure YOU as a member are playing with like minded gamers and enjoying playing with your friends.

1 General per 20-30 Members (Limit 1 per clan)
1 Captain to a minimum of 4 Members (Making this a Squad)
1 Lieutenant per Captain per squad.
There are NO amounts or ratios of sergeants or privates per clan or squad!
The proven Xiled Gaming rank structure will be followed exactly how it is written!
All recruits must be introduced to their squad members and get to know them for the first seven days in the squad. Recruits must be put into squads with members who play similar games and on similar consoles. If a member of a squad switches games or consoles they must be transferred to a different squad or clan if necessary. These transfers will be approved by your section leader.
