You can apply to any clan, but [SAW] is not any clan. If you do not want to be the best player you can be, you need not apply. [SAW] is a clan of individuals focused in same direction to reach a single or common goal. Being in [SAW] is a belief and a way of acting, not just a saying. [SAW] members believe in loyalty to clan and each other like family.
Feel free to stop by on our IRC to chat it up, don't be a stranger, SAW member or not. :)
Membership
SAW is a highly selective clan when it comes to membership. Unlike many AOS clans with unregulated recruitment overflowing with members coming and going, we limit our list to the essential few. Skill is not our main prerequisite; character and commitment are what we value most. A potential member must be a "Strategist" at heart.
Behavior
Here at SAW, we expect good behavior from all of our members and guests. Imitating the typical clan mentality isn't our style; thus, we don’t want to restrict people’s personalities with unnecessary rules. However, if you want to be a part of the team, make sure you’re mature enough to respect and get accustomed to the way we do things. Most of us are older players and have been in the game since its inception. We have transcended the typical player mindset and are far different from many who have just begun exploring the clan world of AOS. We don’t ask for much, but we will not tolerate the usual immaturity prevalent in today’s clans. Earn your keep here by showing your commitment to The Way of the Strategist.
The Way of the Strategist
1. Do not multi-clan. In other words, don’t jump from one clan to the next. We will ultimately respect your decisions, but we will not tolerate indecisiveness.
2. Visit the SAW sub-section forum often. This is a way to show your appreciation and keep our clan alive. It is also a great platform to connect with other players, build bonds, and learn from each other.
3. Do not troll/flame/spam the sub-section. Fighting anonymously online is very easy but that much pointless as well. Unlike in usual circumstances, words speak louder than anything else here. So respect others in he forum as you’d respect a top opponent in a game. This includes, but is not limited to:
-Direct insults
-Offensive orders
-Insinuations
-Messages intended to annoy and/or offend other players by disturbing the nature of the forum/irc are strictly prohibited.
This includes, but is not limited to:
-Provoking other users to respond with “flamesâ€
-Providing false information as "facts".
4. Do not ask top players for training. Instead, ask them to play with you. The best knowledge comes from experience, not repeatedly nagging others to teach you. You play with the best long enough, you will become the best. This includes kissing up to players.
5. Be cool. For example, don’t overuse slang words like "XOXO, ROFL, LMAO, Q.Q, RQ, OMG" in every single one of your sentences. Use this opportunity to say something meaningful for a change.
6. Do not force a war on whim. Battling exists to test our abilities, not to prove anything to someone else. All wars must be approved by at least two leaders.
7. Catch hackers. When you experience a hacker, don’t flame. Just record and report them. Don't take this too seriously, no one likes a backseat mod.
8. Most importantly, CONTRIBUTE to your clan. It doesn’t need to be much. If you have any suggestions for improvement to the clan or site, post a message in the “Feedback and Suggestions†section.
9.Stay forum active and remember to visit either the IRC or the SAW AoS website to chat with other members.Members who don't show activity on the forums in no less than 2 weeks will be removed from the official members list.
10. The publication of personal information is strictly prohibited over the forums/irc. This includes, but is not limited to:
-Telephone numbers and home addresses or locations
-E-mail addresses
