Clan Induction Question - Please Respond As Soon As Possible

[Tomisama]

Four times now I have had requests to allow one Clan Member to sign for his mates. I have to date responded that signing The Code is a personal matter, and that each individual was required to sign for themselves.

In theory this seems to be the correct path, but the weight of insisting on individual signers is beginning to bog the process, and I have been reconsidering the policy.

If no one has any objections, I would like to allow a Clan Leader to present a list of members that they will personally vouch for, so that we can sign them all up at once.

I know that is not how some of you came onboard, and may feel that you went through the process, and that they should have too also. But it may not have been the right idea in the first place, not fully realizing the enormity of mechanics involved.

I am sincerely thankful for each and every signer that has stepped forward to claim The Code of their own volition. But if we are to impact the community in a truly effective way, we need the Clans. Opening the process to Clan Leader’s application for all, will do more to promote The Code in one stroke, than all other efforts so far combined.

For example, I have over 60 Clans at the CWC who could be offered the above option. We are now just over 100 signers (I’m still trying to catch up), and with the induction of the willing Clans, we could easily triple almost overnight. And that’s just the beginning.

It’s not the numbers I’m after, it’s the population density of Codies. How would it feel to go into the foyer and see one quarter or even one half of the players online with CoH tags on their player names?

That’s the vision, that’s when things will change. That’s what we could do, and more!

Are you with me on this?

If you feel you have a valid objection, please voice it now.

If you believe that this is our destiny, as I do, please state that also.

I can’t wait very long, as I need to respond to the latest requests.

So please do it now!

Thanks in advance

im sorry to say that i disagree mate, its a quality over quantity thing for me. I would rather have a smaller community who all agree to "play by the rules" etc. rather than just getting loadsa members who, even though their clan leaders may vouch for them, the members themsleves might have never even seen/read the code.

i wouldn't mind seeing more players/clans sign up to the COH but i think if someone "vouches" for a group of players that if just ONE of them steps out of line ALL of the players that were vouched for in that group are removed.

if they want to then sign up individually thats fine but if someone cant judge one of the players they sign up how can we accept the others?

that might stop someone signing up lots of people if they know some wont follow it.

Ok, I am getting the drift here. We will leave things as they are…

Thank you for your quick response.

Off to add our new individual signers

[Lord Preston]

cool, sorry to create more work for you mate. i know what i sujested would of meant a lot of work.

i have seen people saying they follow COH anyway so why should they bother signing up for it.... i dont think they get the point of it being a visible way for us to get together and play. getting these people to sign up would be better than having people who get someone else to make the commitment for them.... shows how much they care about the COH cause.

if you need a hand keeping up with adding people i have some free time on my hands over the next few months.

p.s. i have somethings in the works that can get COH some more exposure once they're done

im breathless with anticipation mate :)

btw, has this issue been settled regarding the sign up procedure or are you looking for more opinions, afterall me and preston are only 2 members and we are both in the same clan. i dont want people to feel we are dictating terms etc.
