Clan Exchange Program

I want WG to remain at the top of clan innovation.
We've always been pioneers in the clan world.
IRL Meetings, cutting edge recruitment, extravagant forums, rolling attendance, the lecture series, website standards.
And on top of that we can't even begin to count the events we've invented, including the now popular market crash.

Now, we're trying something new.

AN EXCHANGE PROGRAM!

Two clans swap members for two weeks, then swap back... like Wife Swap.
Basically the members swap over to the other clan at the lowest member rank and then they participate normally in the clan's activities like ordinary members of that clan. After two weeks they offer a little feedback on what they enjoyed about the other clan, and perhaps offer a suggestion that could help each clan grow. When they return to their normal clan, they may offer up an idea or two on how to make the clan better, after seeing how the other clan works.

If we use a high ranking member, it would be better. They would be more trusted not to be a nuisance in the other clan and they would have a good knowledge of their current clan so would be able to make a better comparison.

I have already asked Triforce to get involved, and I am looking for another clan to participate. Triforce is looking positive so they will probably be our first clan with which we exchange.

Like the idea, but how would you pick who is swapped over and who we would get back?

Well we'd make a post and people would nominate themselves or others. It would probably be Elites+ or even Tertiary+ because Triforce want to send us a COUNCIL member.

mmk, looking forward to it thought....

How about spying tbh? They could easily get our information and leak it to others and virse verse

This is kinda interesting, but just to make sure we get no spies, is there anything set up to prevent important information theft and avoid possible crashes? We could just make it so that during the exchange period no triforce/WG can attack each other, and make a temp rank for those who join us without access to Level 1+

Tbe?

Sounds like a good idea, i'd say Elite+

Well its a trusted council member of Triforce... a leader...
And the rank they get is trial member.

Like, both members exchanged start at the lowest possible rank.

Only do it with a very trusted clan who we're on good terms with. Or do something with their access so they can only access certain posts while still being a member rank or something.

I love the idea though.

Um, any info a trial member can get... really if someone wanted to spy on us it wouldn't be that hard to get into WG.

lol this idea sounds very interesting would be quite fun to be apart of another clan for 2 weeks to see how it works

Can I go please

YAY clan reality TV! (send me so I can make them free gfx so we win k?)

Hmm, i like the idea.
But why don't we try it first with our allies?

Everything sounds good then, only one concern though, are we hiding our fixed pk times? It'd be easy for them to hunt us if thats the case :S

Sounds interesting! I'd be willing to go and try it out!

Scaaaaaaary!

Send me over der!

I like the idea. And yeah, we should send someone who's Tertiary+.

I was going to recommend this long ago but I thought nobody would like it. I approve of this idea though, but we can't send Dale because he's NH.

Sweet, exchange your old worn out and dull clan for a NEW and SHINY clan for only a small fee of $19.99 for 6 months.

Shipping and handling extra.

lols sounds fun

Ill do it

Interesting, I spend alot of time with TDM not events or anything like that but I am allowed to idle in thier channel, and it is interesting to watch them and associate with them, big difference from WG's channel, they are really strict on many rules and behaviour etc.. but thats not saying they dont act a bit crazy as us in other channels
sounds like a great idea

elites+ only thanks again

I believe this is a good idea to be honest. I mean if a council member of ours, or a teretiary+ goes, then they can get a view of how another clan is worked from the inside, and maybe suggest things to improve WG. Another way it could benefit would be it would give many of us a view of how other clans are coping with problems such as our recent skiller vs. warmonger issues, and also how they are dealing with problems within PvP.

The only problem that I believe could make its appearance with this is, we have to make sure it is a trusted clan, due to our weekly raid times. We wouldn't want these to be leaked to a clan that may want to crash us, along with maybe a war that could show up within the two weeks, that yet again, could allow the fellow clan to crash us on. Basically it is like giving each clan a spy in another clan, so you have to keep this in mind.

Overall, I believe this is a FANTASTIC idea Elias, and I think we should definitely do this. Just make sure to rotate between members if we continue to do this past the first clan. That way everyone gets their turn and everyone can see what it is like in another clan now a days.

I like this idea alot. I wish I was active enough to do this lol.

Ooh Hopefully i can take part in this, I'd love to get alternate perspectives on clans.

I'll do it.

This is an absolutely awesome idea!
We get to see how other successful clans work from the inside, and hopefully some good ideas will rub off on us.
Make sure and choose people who will share the experience fully!

should be good fun to try, im sure alot of people wouldnt mind trying it out

Lol what if they person likes the other clan too much and stays for good? ^^

Anyways, good idea, If i were still rs active, I'd definitely nominate myself

Hmm this is a little risky if you ask me, if someone goes to a clan, makes alot of friends and feels welcome and satisfied in the clans, the odds are they'll leave WG for the clan.

What about passwords and stuff? TS?

I like the idea, and if we do go through with it, I say we change our raid times and passwords to other things then change them back after the whole thing is done. We could even promote that so it makes us look less like spies.

Keep in mind how other might receive this idea. They might interpret it as a way for us to spy on other clans, so promote certain things so that it's obvious we're not trying to sabotage anyone.

I remember at one time we had clan representatives for other clan forums. It worked out well. This should as well.
