Part one: Naming your Clan
Now, for starters, this is generally the thing that gives people the most trouble when starting a clan, regardless if they like the name they pick. Why you ask? Names are extremely important in a clans early reputation and success. Ask yourself this question.
"What clan would you rather fight?"
A. The Peruvian Headshots
B. TEH M3G4 ULTIMATE 1337 PWNERERS OF DEWM
I really hope you picked A. Considering, its not a truly wonderful name, however it doesn't give off the overconfident n00b vibe of the second clan.
Next, coming up with your name, which is generally the hardest part. As you only know the names to avoid. Choose a name that somewhat goes along with your clan's vision for its gaming.Or something that relates to your game.
A prime example is a clan called Grade One, which some of you might know from the Old DSP. A friend of mine Kidd managed the clan with a simple ideal in mind. "Clans aren't really about just recruting the most amazing players and kicking everyones ass, to me its about finding the ones who may not be as good, and make sure to raise them to their maximum potential. That's what its all about, since by doing this even the older more experienced members can improve." Notice how Grade One reflects that vision? It symbolizes that they build some of their membesr from the ground up. Which is truly awesome in my opinion.
All in all, making a clans name is entireley up to you, as most names turn out to be acceptable, just be sure to avoid the aforementioned n00b like arrogance you may give off with yours. Choose wisely. :P
Part two is coming in the next post! Stay tuned!
