13) I use to run from problems with clan since I've been able to tackle a lot
I have had few bad clan members some who were kicked and some who just needed someone just to hang with In game
14) when it comes to relationship with clan I try to keep active sometimes its hard to maintain with everyone but they form bonds
having my brothers and their mates and a lot of brothers & sister duos in clan made a good environment . I blame my brother for coming back to runescape lol
15) events Happen sometimes depending
we don't do to much events due to the fact most time we are grinding
or bossing hard .
16) allies are important to me . not just for mergers preference but also combined events and building a bigger friends base . other leaders we have a respect for each other

Sorry for skipping all the questions you've prepared and just starting my own story. I think this will work better than just answering them one by one.

It appears to me as if you're doing a lot inside your clan and although that works when you're around, it clearly doesn't when you're not. What I'm trying to do is find certain points in which a clan becomes stable, without my help. I basically prepare the clan for my next leave.

Now that I'm playing I've brought my clan from 180 clan members all the way to 500. By giving pretty much all clan members the ability to let a new player into the clan it's now an easy task to remain at this size. I could leave and come back in a year and be sure we haven't gone down much unless some unpredictable problem arises. Our first stable position.

Currently I'm trying to let our clan members create their own events. I could easily have done this myself but then again the clan becomes dependent on me which I don't want. I'm encouraging our staff members to support clan member events. All they have to do is add it to our notice board and broadcast them.

My advice to you is to avoid being needed. Lead it like you could be gone tomorrow. Your focus will move from doing everything yourself towards encouraging others to do what you would have done. Spread the tasks you currently consider yours over everyone inside your clan and you'll be free to come and go.

I consider a clan in its perfect state when the clan leader can leave without issues. One of the clans I created 9 years ago is still out there. I left it almost 6 years ago. I'm not saying that's because of me, actually it's the opposite, it didn't need me anymore. Part of the

community.
