My clan is Kirstunael. I've been my clan leader nearly 10 years now.
At the start I was taking care for clan homepage, clan improvements and diplomacy. Our first leader quited RS after few months and gave leadership to me.
I saw myself as just one of founders and thought leader title is temporary, I was hoping someone else is coming to shine and work as one. It was friendly small clan, it didn't need a ruler but needed someone who cares.
Soon I made Kirstunael international clan and we all had to switch to English, but I was barely speaking it myself back then. I just had to learn from practice. It was partly unpopular decision. Yet people agreed because of awesome recruits.
My husband Grandoldman who also is one of founders said something that became clan motto: First look at IQ levels.
Soon some clannys said to me, you're the Queen, shine as one and don't be shy, no need to hold back, you can do even more than you ever imagined. Thanks to their support, deep respect and dedication I felt great and wanted to make my clan great.
As they treated me very well I wanted to give it all back and cared for quality every possible way, quality recruits, clan culture and no mandatory events. This three things we kept this way for all next years. People should believe in our clan and support because of honour instead of being forced to. Also we decided to evolve as the game is doing but always keep our culture. Decided to respect RS rules and watch it ourselves.
Yet I didn't believe in democracy. We got some democracy in the clan where it works well but leadership is not asking advice for every small thing and not announcing every step we do. Sometimes I had to make unpopular decisions when it was making clan greater.
A lot happened next years. I never left my clan and always loved it. I demoted myself once and got ranked back in week or so.
We got strong base, we had many awesome co leaders and still have. I respect them and love them dearly.
