Transfers

While transfers have been covered lately, one momre aspect of transfers needs to be covered. When a member transfers from one clan to another, both Generals must post in the help desk to have this process completed in a timely matter. Both Generals need to add the proper information as to what clan they are leaving and what clan they are going into, respectively. This will allow for quicker and smoother transfers.

Help Desk

Section Leaders and Generals, when posting a thread for a removal or add request you do not need to make several separate posts. If it is someone that left for other reasons than what you are posting for the other members then put in the reason that reason and separate it within the same thread.

Communicating Absences

We understand that at times you will not be online for an extended period of time, whether it's due to finals, vacations, life circumstances, etc. We understand that real life should always come first. So if you know your activity will be spotty or non-existent for that time, please let your chain of command know when you are leaving, when you expect to be back, and that you have coverage in your absence.

Clan Structure

Please reference the official XG Clan Structure and make sure you are adhering to it, if there are circumstances preventing this from happening it should be a top priority to address them and move towards having smaller squads and smaller clans are outlined in the Clan Structure here: https://www.xiledgaming.com/forum/xi...lan-Structure=

Clan & Squad Lists

Clan and squad lists are due by this Tuesday, April 30th so get them posted on time.

Pending Help Desk Requests

If you or your Generals help desk request is marked as pending, please complete corrections as soon as possible and message who picked up the request to get it resolved. Pending requests only remain pending for 7 days, then they will be denied.

Sunday Meetings

Generals, if your Section Leader is not online for General's Meeting, it is your responsibility to make it into a meeting with another XS. Please start messaging other Section Leaders 10-15 minutes before 9pm EST in order to make sure you get into a meeting. If you need help, please contact any online XD for assistance.

Availability to Your Members

Section Leaders and Generals, please do not continually stay in a locked party unless you are dealing with an issue or talking about sensitive information. That way, your members are able to join your party to game with you or just chat even if they aren't playing the same game as you.

Signatures/Banners:

When getting signatures and banners done by the Design Team, please make sure that you a copying and pasting the link given to you by the designer themselves into the help desk. This keeps the quality of the Design intact, along with the measurements and file sizes appropriate. Not to mention, designers put a lot of time and effort into their work, seeing it distorted takes away from that. If you have questions, feel free to hit up anyone on the Design Team.

Gaining Knowledge

The XG bible is for anyone seeking knowledge regarding rules or ideas in the community. If you have a question, check the bible to see if it's already been answered. Furthermore if you have ideas or have questions regarding things in the community don't be afraid to ask. Remember there are no stupid questions so ask away.

Clan Members

Your clan members should be people who believe in the same honor code and are people you enjoy gaming with. That being said, someone who enjoys trash talking will probably fit in better in SYN, as opposed to KoG or XGC, and someone who wants to game with 18+ would fit in better to XGC, and so on and so forth. Make sure you get to know your recruits so they are in a place that is appropriate for them and they are happy with their squad and clan, and if they aren't that's what the transfer process is for.

Password Reset

Please remember to change your password every 90 days, currently the website is not telling you that a password change is required and you may get an error when trying to log in, if you have any issues please use your chain of command if you need assistance or any admin for a password reset.

No meetings next Sunday 5/12 due to Mother's Day.

Transfers:

Generals, when you get a transfer request, there is a timeline for when it should be done. (48 - 72 hours). Make sure you inform your section leader if it's a cross section transfer so it can get done quickly and efficiently. Also remember, when that person is transferring out of your clan to put a removal request in.

Clan Battles:

All Generals of clans are encouraged to schedule time to game with other clans within the community. Having clan battles provides several benefits to the clan members: 1) they give the clan activities and goals to look forward to, 2) they build teamwork in preparing for the event, 3) it introduces the members to other "like-minded" gamers in the community to mention a few. However, for the events to be successful, there must be some guidelines to ensure a successful event and this begins in the initial conversation between the Generals.

The conversation about what's going to go on regarding a clan battle, what the rules are, what the maps and modes are,etc...need to be discussed between the Generals. Not a General and Section Leader, or the Section Leaders. General to General. If something can't be agreed upon then Section Leaders should be involved to resolve the issue as quickly and smoothly as possible.

Furthermore, if a Section Leader contacts a General for a clan battle or vice versa, then the Section Leader should direct the challenged General to their respective General.

Finally, remembering the purpose of the event is to provide the members opportunities to have fun, make sure that good sportsmanship and fair play are paramount before, during, and after the event.

General's Classes

Please remember that in order to sign up for an Advanced General's Class, you must have taken, completed and passed the Intro to General's Class first. Do not sign up for an Advanced class if you haven't completed and passed the Intro class.

Discord / Social Media

Clan groups on other external communication platforms such as Facebook, Kik, Line, Voxer, etc., are not allowed. They are to be deleted. We now have Discord servers for KoG, SYN and XGC that have channels for each clan to use for communication purposes. The purpose for having these servers is not for XD-XC-XI to micromanage or police your chats, it is to provide a benefit to all members in a central location.

Knights & Dragons Mobile Game

There is a mobile game that a guild for the Community has been created on called Knights and Dragons. The games servers are not compatible with each other however so, IOS cannot play with Android devices and vice versa. The guild for the Community is on Android and you must download the game on an Android device to join the guild but it is open to anyone in the community if you have an Android device. Please feel free to download the game, check it out and if you like it hit up XGC BRAIN XS to join the Xiled Gaming guild on it as well as if anyone has any questions about the game.

King of the Kill Challenge

We see a lot of you messaging for clan battles, which is great. We still have the King of the Kill challenge. Right now, the King of the Kill champions, are SYN Greed 7. https://www.xiledgaming.com/forum/xi...ng-of-the-hill < here is where you can find the leaderboards, and the challenge thread. Yes, it's competitive. But it is a chance for you and your members to grow better communication bonds as well as grow better player morale within your clan.

X-Team Challenges

The XTEAM also accepts challenges. If you think you have what it takes to defeat us. Bring it. Please remember when in an Xteam battle, all honor codes apply! With this link you can Challenge us. https://www.xiledgaming.com/forum/xi...m/challenge-us
** Remember while making a challenge for both King of the Kill and a challenge against the Xteam, It should be one week in advance!

XG Communication

Any communication sent by any means other than Xbox Live, the Xbox App, the Xiled Gaming Club, the Xiled Gaming Website, or the Xiled Gaming Discord Server is not considered XG communication. This includes, but is not limited to Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, KiK, email, text, calls, mail, telepathy, Morse Code, and smoke signals.

Xiled Gaming does not recommend communicating on these external channels because we do not police mobile apps. If you choose to use Non-XG Communication and receive messages that you don't like, that's on you. Any issue that arises in the community from Non-XG communication will be addressed accordingly. However, the Non-XG communication will not be a factor in the corrective action.

Additionally, the Xiled Gaming Discord Server is mandatory for all XS-XD-XC-XI. In the event someone doesn’t have, want or chooses to leave the server, they are giving up their XS-XD-XC-XI position in the community. There is no acceptable reason to not be in our discord server. Prior to promotion, they must be asked if they accept. If not, they are not promoted.

No meetings next Sunday, June 16th due to Father's Day.

Discord Servers

As a reminder, there are now servers for each division (KoG, SYN & XGC) that you are encouraged to join, with separate channels for each individual clan, including an announcements and leadership only channel. If you need assistance assigning roles to your members or have any questions about how to use the server, please hit up your XS or any XD for assistance.

Additionally, any clan servers or section servers that are still in existence need to be deleted ASAP. There is no requirement to join the division discord servers, except for XS and higher. If this isn't clear and you have questions please ask before sharing information that you aren't 100% confident about, as this just causes more issues if we're not all on the same page as each other.

Conan Exiles

XGC Goodwin has a private server available for Conan Exiles, if interested hit him up on Xbox.

Chain of Command

Please ensure that you are using your chain of command to handle issues, ask questions, or share ideas with. If there's something that is really pressing and your leadership isn't online, that is a great time to use the open door policy, but for anything other than emergencies please be patient and get with your leadership when they are available.

Defining Expectations & Goals

When we as leaders are looking to accomplish goals, one of the greatest ways we can successfully achieve this is by being direct and communicating the outcome you want to see. This gives your leadership the opportunity to understand what you expect and how to succeed at it. Growth as a leader is a learning process, so if they need help then we guide them. If they fail to achieve the goal that is set forth, then this is the best opportunity to address how to find a solution and try a different way to accomplish the goal the next time around.

X-Team Challenges

The X-Team is seeking out challenges on multiplayer games, and will be challenging people across the community so keep your eyes out because you could be next!

As always, the X-Team is accepting challenges from clans on any multiplayer games, so if you think your clan has what it takes submit your challenge here: https://www.xiledgaming.com/forum/xi...m/challenge-us

Time Management

As a leader in the community, you have a lot of things going on a lot of the time. However, you need to make sure you take time to just have fun and game, since that's what we're all here for at the end of the day. If you aren't having fun, and are constantly just getting online and handling issues nonstop, it's easy to lose sight of the big picture which is to make Xiled Gaming a fun place to game for all members.

If you're only able to get online a couple times a week, make it a priority to handle anything that needs your specific attention, while training the leaders below you so they're able to handle anything but the major stuff that needs to go to you. Then the rest of your time can be spent gaming and enjoying your time on the box.

Help Desk

When making posts on the Help Desk, please make sure you are using the format provided and being detailed when a reason is needed. Additionally, if someone is requesting a login name change request that does NOT have KoG, SYN or XGC in front of it, there is no XS approval needed. When recruits register on the website, make sure you are telling them how important it is to register with their gamertag exactly as it's spelled (special characters and spaces included), as this is the most common reason an add request is typically denied.

Regarding transfers and ADD/Removes on the help desk..these should be done hand in hand by both Section Leaders/Generals at the time of transfer. This is important so user groups stay up to date and accurate. We don't want to add a member to another user group while still remaining in the old one.

Regarding name changes, these need to be approved by the Section Leader in their leader's forum if it has a XGC, SYN or KoG prefix. Names need to be researched before approving them. If you're not sure if the name is "ok", please hit up a XD to verify it is acceptable.

Design Team:

Like designing? Like making banners and exploring your creativity? Why not try out the XG Design Team?! We are always looking for people who want to do fun and creative designs for the community and its members! Interested in joining, sign up here: https://www.xiledgaming.com/forum/xi...m-applications

Open Door Policy

The open door policy is available to every member in Xiled Gaming, however, please be aware that you should be going to your direct chain of command first. If you feel that your issue isn't being resolved or handled, take it to the next rank, and so on and so forth. That being said, realize that not all issues need to be handled immediately, and that everyone has a life outside of their Xbox so it may take a day or two for a reply back, which is fine for most questions or concerns. If there is a legitimate emergency happening within your clan, definitely hit up a higher up if your XS isn't available.

Leadership Tools

Have you checked out the Leadership Tools forum? It's a great place to read about how to be a successful leader in Xiled Gaming, with many threads covering a great many topics that you might have handled before, or haven't ever had to think about. It's highly encouraged to check out these threads when you have some spare time, and hit up your leadership with any questions you have while reading them.

Clan/Squad Lists:

Reminder, clan and squad lists are due by 11:59 PM Est. Please be following up and ensuring these are posted and the member's GTs are spelled properly. This is important to keep a tidy clan list and user group, also if a member leaves, removed or joins we can get them on/off your user group without any issues.

User Groups:

Your user group should be a direct mirror of your clan list. If you do require a recent/updated user group please message a Division Leader and we can get it to you. Also, you should not be adding people to your user group until they reach the rank of Private and definitely shouldn't be promoting people to higher ranks without them being in the user group to begin with.

Transfers:

Regarding incoming/outgoing transfers, BOTH members should be off the original user group before being added to the new one. If a member is still on a user group they will not be added to the new user group and the request will be DENIED on the help desk. This requires mutual communication between both generals.

Game Nights:

Remember that you and your leadership should be doing regularly scheduled game nights with your clan and/or squads, to give everyone an opportunity to get to know each other and build relationships between leadership and every member in the clan. Game nights are also the best time to introduce new recruits to the clan members and reinforce why they joined, which is to have people to game with that they like hanging out with.

It doesn't even have to be on a game, there are clans who do Karaoke nights and even Movie nights, so if you want to switch it up and have some more creative activities going on go for it!

Unneeded Drama

Regarding gossip in the community, we do NOT investigate into members personal lives! This only creates unnecessary drama and if it happens, it will be handled by demotion and/or removal!

Moderation

Section Leaders and Generals, please make sure you are replying to the clan list by the 1st and 15th of each month, so that it's easy to see the changes from each post to the next and there is history to look back on. Editing should be done in between the posts to keep things up to date as changes occur throughout the month.

All General's who have moderator, please keep you clan forums clean and ask your XS for any questions you may have. They will be double checking to make sure it's done. There are a lot of forums out there that need moderation, please keep on top of this.

Accountability

As a leader in XG, you have displayed the drive and desire to be an asset to help XG grow. However, once you reach the next level, are you holding yourself, and your clans accountable to the high standard that XG requires? Are you using the tools that are available to continue to grow the community and future leaders? Or are you taking it easy, now "that you made it?" You must hold yourself accountable to continue to grow as a leader and to uphold the ideals of XG. This is done with your day to day attitude and actions being consistent with what is expected of a leader in XG.

You cannot be effective if you are only being accountable part of the time.

Working with Peers

To be successful as a group of leaders, we have to be working 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. None of us have the exact same experiences, therefore you can be a valuable asset during those times. For example, say that a new General has a clan that is having issues and is in need of rebuilding. If you know that this General has never been through this before and you have, share your knowledge to help your peer and the community. Furthermore, if you are a General who has produced any other General's from your clan by doing a clan split, you should have a mentor/protege relationship with those General's. You should be there for them to make sure that they are successful in their new role.

Open Door Policy

The open door policy is available to all members at any time. If you aren't getting what you need from your direct leader, go to the next rank. If they can't help you, go to the next rank, and so on and so forth. If anyone discourages you from using the open door policy without good reason, action will be taken.

Perception

Whenever two people interact, words are not always enough. Often times, how you are perceived, or how someone perceives you, is just as, if not more important, than the actual message. Please remember that not everyone is alike, and finding a middle ground, which should be based on simple common sense, is always the best way to go.

Communication

Generals need to ensure that they are communicating any and all issues to their XS's. This is to ensure that both you and your XS are on the same page with the path your clan is on.

Planning for Success

When we are being reactive instead of being proactive, we are not being productive. Have a game plan and make sure all of your members are on the same page. Not the same book or chapter but the same page.

Promotions

Promotions are earned not rushed period! It's our jobs as leaders to keep an eye out for potential and to ensure that everyone is on the right track with their promotions. Bad promotion negatively affects everything they touch. You will be held accountable. Promotions are a big deal and are taken very seriously. Think everything through prior to promoting someone just because you "need" someone in that spot. We expect for leadership positions to be filled in a timely manner because the longer you go without someone in those ranks, the harder it gets for other leadership and for the clan as a whole, so always make it a priority to work with those potential future leaders to get them where they need to be. Nobody will know how to be a perfect Captain or Lieutenant immediately, that's where training comes in.

Training The Future

Leadership Training should be taking place all the time. If your clan is going good, keep training leadership. We have seen many instances where a clan is good but then something happens and the Captain or Lieutenant have to go inactive and the clan falls apart. The purpose of having the next set of leaders ready is so that they can step up when their time comes. To know if this occurs be active with your clans and get to know the leaders and future leaders. Don't take someone's word about what's going on.

Grass Wasn't Greener

If a member approaches you about coming back to XG, you should be researching the name before having them added to your clan. If you need assistance with this, ask your Section Leader. Members that were removed from the community or left the community may put a Grass Wasn't Greener application in at any time. Every GWG is handled on a case by case basis. When a member is removed from the community or leaves the community, they should be told only that they can put a GWG in if they want to return to the community. Not be told you'll have to do a GWG and pay to get back in, as that is determined by XD or higher once the application process is completed.

Meetings

As a General, you are responsible for making it into your General meeting every Sunday at 9pm EST. If your Section Leader is not online, find another Section Leader on your friends list and message them for an invite. Be proactive, don't wait around until 9:10 to ask to get into a meeting. If you know you won't be able to make the General meeting, ask a Captain to sit in for you so they are able to pass along the information to the clan in your absence.

Name Change Requests:

It is VERY IMPORTANT that when members are requesting to change their gamer tags that we are researching them to the fullest of our capability! This means on the XBOX, searching forums to find similar names including ALL divisions within XG and if the name is suitable for the community. Just because the prefix is different doesn't mean the name is different. This responsibility is on both Generals and Section Leaders to research these and then have it posted in the Section Leader's forum page and having it marked as APPROVED by the respective Section Leader. If name changes aren't researched and/or approved they will be DENIED. Then a post needs to be made on the help desk so a Division Leader can go in and change it for them. Members should be waiting for approval BEFORE changing their name on the XBOX so both names match on the box and clan/squad lists. Remember, changing your GT costs the member money and the leader's time, let's not waste either by cutting corners.

Transfers:

When people are asking for transfers, please make sure they are being taken care of in a reasonable time if not done asap. No transfer should take longer the 48-72 hours. If you can't reach the other leader involved with said transfer, utilize a Division Leader.

Add Requests:

Section leaders and generals, when you are putting in a add request in the help desk you need to make sure that the members that you are trying to add are on the clan list. If they are not, do not put in the add request. ALL members must be listed on the clan/squad list in order to be added to the clan's user group.

Irrational Decisions:

When members get stressed and feel like stepping down and/or leaving is the best option just to come back a day later, this is becoming a problem. When people feel like this and express this, we need to have those members take a step back and "cool off" and think about their decision before jumping the gun. If members leave, they will not be given a pass to come back because they had a change of heart. In the event a member wants to come back after leaving, GWG is the route they will need to take. Every situation will be handled on a case by case basis.

Clan Compete:

BO4 Ladders on Clancompete.com are now live. We're still working out some small kinks but let's start getting people involved in some matches. This is a good way to have fun and get members more interactive with others in the community.

Generals:

Promotions

Just because you reach all requirements to be promoted to the next rank does not mean you will be promoted right away. Promotions are earned not given. If you are seeking a promotion, work for it! The leadership notice it!!

Training Leadership

As a General, always make sure that your leadership under you understands their responsibilities, and that they feel comfortable asking questions when they aren't completely sure. However, if you are spending time training someone on the same thing over and over again, and it doesn't seem to be getting through to them, you need to figure out why that is. Whether it's that you need to find a different way to teach them, or ask for assistance from your XS or a peer, it needs to be a priority. If someone isn't capable of learning or retaining information, sometimes that leads to making a difficult decision and putting someone into the rank that is capable of learning. Keep in mind that if someone can't learn it themself, how could they teach it to anyone else in the ranks below them?

Discord Communication

Keep in mind that we do not handle issues over Discord. It is to be used for keeping in communication when not on the Xbox, but nothing as far as issues, promotions, and clan business should be handled over Discord, it should always be taking place on the Xbox. If you have any questions about this or want clarification, please ask your XS or XD.

Generals

Recruiting & Reading In New Recruits

Recruiting is necessary for all clans, whether it's to grow in order to prepare for a squad or clan split, or to keep the clan stable as people leave or go inactive, which is inevitable over time. The process for recruiting and reading in should be something all leaders should be comfortable with, and that you and your Generals should be training your leadership to do without you having to be present each and every time. Work with them until you are comfortable with them flying solo and then let them spread their wings and fly. Ensure the appropriate Honor Code is went over with them, answering any questions they may have, and also inform them of the rank structure and ensure they know what the leadership ranks are in the community. This will give them a solid foundation to build off of when first joining the community.

Clan Game Nights

Doing a weekly game night is one of the Generals responsibilities. There are a lot of benefits to doing a clan game night, such as ensuring members are active with their fellow clan members, introducing recruits to everybody and making sure they are a good fit during their 7 day recruit period, and while gaming with your members you'll be able to see potential future leaders and how they interact with everyone in the party and/or game nights.

Moderation

Now that moderator classes are back, if you as a General are taking the class and receiving moderator, you should be keeping your clan forum up to date. Your Section Leader will still be checking to see if you are doing what needs to be done, and always keep in mind that if you aren't sure about how to do something, just ask. Taking the moderator class does not guarantee you to permanently have the privilege to moderate, if you aren't using it or are abusing it, your moderator can easily be taken back away.

Discord

Yes, Discord has changed a bit but it still holds a very useful purpose! Division-wide chat boxes are gone, instead we have added section chats have been added in place of that, which will be everyone in that section. Please utilize the XG Community Discord server, which has a general discussion channel you should use to reach out to members outside your section or clan. There are also channels for a multitude of games, so if members are looking for people to play certain games with, make sure they know about choosing their games to be included in those channels. Discord will be treated the same as the XG website, meaning any drama and/or infractions that happen via Discord will be handled on a case by case basis but you can be removed for breaking these rules! If ANYONE has questions regarding this, please hit up an XD for clarification.

Clan Compete

We've touched on this in past weeks but this is open and ready to go! Create your teams, join a ladder and let's get some challenges in!! All X-TEAM challenges will be done via CC from now on! If your "whole team" isn't registered, they will not be able to participate. NO EXCEPTIONS.

In order to get more familiar with the site and issuing challenges, please start using Clan Compete to do section competitions, clan battles, or even squad matches. The sky is the limit and we want to get your feedback on how the site could be utilized to the fullest extent, but in order to do so you have to actually use it and understand it. Hit up your chain of command if you have questions.

Xiled Gamer Girlz

XGG is now a team on clancompete.com. The ladies are going to be battling any and all clans, as well as accepting challenges. If you have ladies in your clan that are not in the XGG Usergroup on the website, Generals you can request them to be added. When doing the add request, just put the title as XGG. For clancompete.com if the ladies are signed up on the website, you can send a message to XGC Tantaliz XC, XGC Buffy XD, KoG LOTUS XS, SYN LadyRebl XS, or SYN xPiNKx XS and they can send out a team invite!

Discord Role Assignment

When members join their division discord server, it is imperative that they are given their rank and clan roles. Without them having roles, they won't have access to be able to their clan or section chat, and won't receive messages about meetings or other important announcements. Make sure you as Generals are checking weekly, if not daily, to make sure the members in your clan have their proper placement.

Class Attendance

Generals, when signing up for classes on the website, please ensure you are showing up on time and ready to participate. If you can't make it, it is your responsibility to message the teacher of the class to let them know so they aren't spending time waiting to see if you make it online, and someone else could take your spot who is able to attend since there is limited space available in the class. If an emergency arises and you aren't able to communicate right away, that's understandable, but make every effort to let them know.

Blackout Event on Clan Compete

Announcing the very first Blackout Squads event hosted on Clan Compete! Come join the action on Saturday, September 28th - you must be registered on Clan Compete in order to participate. Encourage all members who play Black Ops 4 to get signed up so they can take part in the event.

Help Desk Requests

When doing add and removal requests on the website, please put a detailed reason on why the member is being removed or added to the clan. It is important to do so because we need to have a paper trail to why they are leaving or being added. If you are doing a transfer, please remember that both Generals must post the ADD and REMOVAL requests to ensure a quick transfer. It is important to do so because we need to leave behind a detailed reason to why they are leaving. If you need examples, please be sure to hit up your XS or a XD.

Additionally, please make sure you are posting requests in the correct area - if you aren't sure, again, please ask. We'd rather have you ask the question than post it incorrectly and have to come to you to tell you what you did wrong.

Promotions:

When doing promotions, you must make sure that ALL the responsibilities are read, understood and accepted! If a member doesn't quite understand them, it is your job as leaders to EXPLAIN IN DETAIL so that it is completely understood! NO EXCEPTIONS!

Meeting Notes 10/13/19:
Basics...
Generals:

Moderation of Forums/User Groups:

As moderators, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to keep the forum page(s) clean and organized! If you aren't sure what needs to be done, message your Section Leader or Division Leader and we'll be happy to show you what's expected. This is part of your responsibilities as a Moderator and needs to be done. Don't just take your leadership's word because they say it's done. You need to be checking to see if in fact it was and was it done properly. If not, get with them and train them on the proper way to do said tasks. If a Moderator class is needed again, one can be provided. Please make this a weekly priority to be checking your clans forums. Remember, IF YOU DON'T USE IT YOU WILL LOSE IT!!!

Recruiting:

When recruiting new members for your clan, you should be looking for like minded gamers. QUALITY NOT QUANTITY!! We want members who are going to grow our community and further advance the success of XG! WE DO NOT RECRUIT OFF THE GWG! That is not an option. If a member comes through the GWG and is placed in your clan and/or asks to join your clan then that's fine but you should not be looking at it to find members looking to join a clan. NO EXCEPTIONS! Recruiting isn't hard, just get out there and try.

Recruits:

You should ensure that recruits are not on staying as recruits for more than 7 days. This has become an issue over the past month. The purpose of them being a recruit is to see if they are a good fit for the clan. If they are not a good fit or unresponsive, make sure they are removed off the clan/squad list for the clan.


Meetings:

Generals, it is your job to ensure that your Captain(s) are hosting a weekly squad meetings besides the clan meeting. It helps with communication with your members to ensure they get all the info passed on. As well as holding your own clan meeting with ALL members able to participate. If you have members who can't attend, you should be following up with them and bringing them up to speed! Additionally, Captain(s) need to host a weekly game night with their squad, either on the night of their squad meeting or another night that works best for them and their squad.

Clan and Squad Lists:

REMINDER, Clan and Squad Lists are due the 1st and 15th of EVERY MONTH! This is not something new and has not been happening when it should. We will be following up on who is or is not doing this. Editing should be done throughout the month to keep the list up to date with new recruits, promotions, demotions, removals, etc.

Blackout Tournament-Alcatraz!

Clan Compete will be hosting yet another Black Out Tournament....Alcatraz!! This will be held on Friday, October 18th at 8:30-10:30 pm Est! Interested? Join ClanCompete.com, create a team and join the Alcatraz Tournament Ladder! Rules are still in progress but similar to the previous tournament!

Know The Basics
Generals

Call of Duty Mobile

Call of Duty Mobile currently has a cap on the amount of people in the clan. Unless they lift it, it will be impossible to add any more than 20 or 30. Feel free to make groups for your clans. If the cap is lifted, we will circle back to it. If you have any questions regarding the Xiled Gaming clan, hit up XGC PENGUIN XC.

Names / Gamertags

We do NOT call people by their first name in the community. In XG we refer to everyone by their gamertag, no exceptions!

Discrimination

As members of this Community, we are expected to abide by the community rules and regulations. Our Honor Code is in place for a specific reason so that members can feel safe to be themselves. In each divisions Honor Code, in sections 8 for XGC and KoG and section 9 for SYN, it states that one of the Honor Code violations consist of discrimination. Discrimination classifies as the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people. No one should be made fun of for who they are, whether it be race, gender or the way they speak.

Just because someone is different does not give anyone the right to make fun of them. Generals, if someone approaches you about a concern like this, do not sweep it under the rug. Address the situation professionally in a timely manner and ask for help if needed.

Rank Responsibilities

If you are in a leadership rank, you will be held accountable to the rank responsibilities listed in the rank structure - found here: https://www.xiledgaming.com/3169127-...e-2015-update=

If you don't fulfill the responsibilities of your rank, you will be held accountable. If you don't know how to fulfill your responsibilities, ask for help from your chain of command and we will be happy to help you. Bottom line, we are all here to create a great gaming experience for all members of this community, and sometimes that means dealing with issues and preventing them from becoming greater problems.

Each rank is responsible for promoting the rank directly below theirs - Section Leaders promote Generals, Generals promote captains, and captains promote lieutenants. When a captain spot becomes available, the lieutenant should be the one promoted - there shouldn't be a sergeant jumping above the LT to become a captain. This doesn't set the squad or clan up for success. Also remember that just because someone used to be in leadership, doesn't mean they should be skipping rank - they should be working their way back through the ranks in the correct way. We do not recycle leadership.

Relationships in XG

We do not allow family members or people in relationships to be in the same clan. See this thread:
https://www.xiledgaming.com/forum/xi...adership-in-xg

For you Generals as well as your captains and lieutenants, this is something you need to keep in mind if it arises in your clan, and handle accordingly. The purpose of this is to ensure promotions are not being handed out to people due to favoritism or nepotism, as that is not how promotions are earned.

Earning Promotions

Please review the current XG Promotion Requirements here: https://www.xiledgaming.com/forum/xi...uirements-2018

Note that it is clearly stated that promotions are not given based on fulfilling time requirements. Promotions are earned, not given. Fulfilling the rank structure and responsibilities as well as showing that you are making good decisions to benefit your clan and the community will help push you forward to that next rank you are going for. Training the members below you is key to you being successful and moving forward.

Recruiting

We do NOT recruit from social media sites or apps such as Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, etc. Potential recruits need to be screened through Xbox parties and by playing with them to ensure they are a good fit for the community and they will follow our rules and guidelines, especially the Honor Code. Looking for Group posts, game chat, and messaging random players from games are just a few ways to do recruitment. If you need help, ask for it and we'll be happy to assist.

Setting Goals
Generals

Training Your Replacement

All leadership ranks are responsible for making sure that they train their own replacement. This is also known as building your leadership pipeline. If a Captain has to step down for personal reasons, their LT should be ready to take their place without waiting several weeks for training to take place. If you aren't preparing for these situations proactively and holding your leadership accountable for their rank responsibilities, your clan will not be able to move forward and be successful. If you don't know what to do in order to overcome an issue in your clan, ask your XS or use the open door policy to find out, don't just wait until the issue happens, focus on preventing the issue from ever occurring.

Setting Goals

You should be working with your clans and leaders to ensure they are setting goals for themselves on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. What do you do on a daily basis to move your clans and leaders forward? How are they moving forward in their progression as leaders and helping those below them succeed and get to their next step? If they aren't moving forward and pushing themselves and others forward, they are stagnant. Make sure this isn't happening with any of your clans, and if it is, figure out how to get them out of their rut. If they aren't upholding their responsibilities, you need to train them or find a new leader.

Leadership Classes

These classes are designed to help your leadership obtain the knowledge to move forward as a successful leader. The only classes that are MANDATORY are the General's Classes and Section Leader's class. The Captain class is not mandatory but highly recommended. In the event a captain hasn't taken the class, work with him/her and try to get them in one as it will help when they move up in leadership. There is NO penalty for a captain not taking the class so we do not demote Captains just because they haven’t taken the Captain class.

Clan Sizes

Generals, when your clan is moving towards 25-30 members, your XS and yourself should be developing a plan for a clan split and getting your leadership ready. The optimized clan should have 20-30 members with full leadership and replacements ready to go. When looking at number of squads in your clan, you do not need to have a specific number of squads in order to do a clan split - clan splits are done when leadership is ready. We have the Clan Structure in place for a reason. Squad splits should be taking place when members have earned that promotion and shown that they will be able to run a successful squad.

Know The Basics

Make sure you and your leaders know where to find all of the basic leadership tools on the website, such as the clan structure, rank structure, and promotion requirements. You should be able to help all members on where to find these as well. If you haven't looked through the XG Bible, that is also a great resource for both you and your Generals to be able to view answers from XC/XI on questions that have been posted over the years on a wide variety of topics. If you aren't sure on an answer, that is a great place to look if nobody is available to pull into a party at that time, if you can't find an answer anywhere you can start a thread yourself to get a response.

Clan/Squad Lists

Remember, these are mandatory and are due BY the 1st and 15th of each month. They may be posted up to 3 days in advance, so if you or your Captain needs to post early, make sure you do so, rather than posting late.

Stay In Your Lane

As a General, it is your responsibility to run a successful clan. In order to do so, you must focus on you and your clan first, not what is going on in other clans. If an issue arises between one of your members and a member in another clan, bring it to your Section Leaders' attention immediately so it can be handled. If a member from another clan comes to you with an issue, direct them to their leadership first, or tell them to utilize the open door policy and hit up an XD/XC/XI if it isn't being handled.

Promotion Requirements

These will be getting updated later this week, keep your eyes open for when they are posted!

Recruiting

As always, recruiting needs to be happening in all clans, at all times. This is to keep the clan from becoming stagnant and dying when people go inactive, leave, or have to step away due to real life. We expect recruiting from all members, but especially from leadership - all leaders need to lead by example and bring in quality members who fit in well with the clan and squad, not just a bunch of members who don't actually want to participate and end up falling off anyways.

Recycling Leadership

We do NOT recycle leadership. Just because someone has previously been in leadership does not mean they are the right person for leadership currently. Evaluate all members the same, regardless of past experience or knowledge, and see who earns the promotion by being a positive example in the clan and moving the clan forward. If you allow your judgment to be influenced by friendships and what people tell you instead of letting their actions speak for themselves, you and your leaders will have trained your future leadership to be the same way. If you don't know what you should be looking for when promoting leaders, ask questions and use your chain command or the open door if needed.

Handling Issues

When handling problems or issues that arise, you should be approaching them rationally, not emotionally. Get both sides of the story prior to making decisions, and don't handle warnings without having a peer or higher present, in order to prevent any he said she said being brought up down the road.

Remain professional at all times with your interactions, whether it's in party, through Xbox messages, or on Discord. The example you set as a leader sets the tone for those members whom you interact with, whether they are in your section or not.

Accountability

You as a General will be held accountable for your rank responsibilities, and you need to do the same with your leadership beneath you. If they are not fulfilling their responsibilities, find out why and explain to them what they need to do in order to remain a leader and move forward and grow. If they aren't understanding what they need to do no matter what you try, ask for help from a peer or a higher-up. If they just can't learn, the tough decision has to be made to demote them from that rank so they aren't preventing the clan from progressing. Train your leaders to be able to make these difficult decisions so you are preparing them for their next step as well, as they will not be promoted if they can't make those calls themselves.

Recruiting / LFG Posts

Using the Looking for Group post on Xbox is a great way to recruit in your clan - make sure you and your members know how to make those posts and use them effectively. If nobody is replying to your LFG post, you can also look for other people's LFG posts and put that you are interested to find people that might be in need of a community. Stay patient, just because no one responds to your post doesn't mean you can't go out and respond to someone else's.

Benefits of the Community

Recruiting is key for every clan - when you joined, you likely wanted more friends to play with online that you got along with and enjoyed spending time with in parties and playing games. When bringing in new members, they will be looking for the same thing - make sure you are doing game nights and that people always have someone to play with when they are online. If someone changes games or schedule and they are no longer able to play with members in their squad and clan, it is you and your leadership's responsibility to find them a home that works best for them. Make sure you are paying attention to this and teaching your leadership to do the same, and ask your XS if you need help finding a home for a member.

Help Desk Add/Removal Requests

When doing add and remove requests, make sure you are being briefly descriptive for the reason. If someone is transferring, the clan they are leaving needs to do the removal request before the add request can be completed. If someone is being removed due to their behavior or Honor Code violation, that needs to be extremely clear, as that will assist if that member submits a Grass Wasn't Greener application in the future. As a reminder, we do not add recruits to clan usergroups - they must reach the rank of private and be registered on the website before being added.

You can use the Advanced Search feature on the website to see if they have registered - ask your leadership if you aren't sure how to do this.

Clan & Squad Lists

Clan and Squad Lists are due by Saturday, December 14th @ 11:59pm EST. If your Captain hasn't posted a squad list, you as General should be posting their list. Follow up with those who did not post their list on time to find out why they didn't and make sure they are aware that they can post it up to 3 days early if necessary.

Using Your Resources

We have a lot of resources available on the website - from the XG Bible, to the four pillars (Honor Code, Rank Structure, Clan Structure, Promotion Requirements), to the Leadership Tools forum located here: https://www.xiledgaming.com/forum/xi...adership-tools

When it comes to training your leadership, evaluating them for the next promotion, as well as making the decision to demote someone, etc., don’t forget to refer back to the rank structure (which provides their current responsibilities) as well as the promotion requirements. These give a detailed list of what’s expected of each rank and what’s expected in order to move further up the ranks. Each member should have their responsibilities explained to them when they are promoted and should be referred back to continuously.

Handling Issues

No situations need to be dealt with right away. If need be, even the biggest of issues can wait until Sunday when they can be discussed with multiple leaders. That said, you don’t need to be rude when asking someone to wait. Determine if the issue is something simple and handle it if you can or simply tell the person you need to gather additional info in order to make the right decision. Do not ignore our members. If you cannot help them, find someone that can. Playing games is not an excuse for ignoring issues. As a leader, it is part of your responsibility to deal with issues so you need to manage your time online appropriately. Should not take more than a week at most to gather the information needed to handled the issue at hand.
