Do you prefer to run a clan or be in one?

[valy]

I voted for a regular member. I am not a leader in my private life i am just a regular member and i want to keep the same rang in a clan game. What can I say Jamie, i like to be small but do big things, help the team, I like working together, building and winning together. To build a clan with loyal members takes time and a lot of work, but in the end when you see that you can count on them you are proud on your work.

Being a clan leader sounds too much work. You have to be there a lot - if not all the time - and you would have to supervise a lot of things happening in the guild. I'm more the laid back type; so being able to log in whenever I want, and disappear whenever I want, would be a big plus. I also have no aspirations of being a leader or a manager of a guild, so I'm perfectly contented with being a loner in gaming and doing my adventures at my own pace.

I don't think I'm the leader type. Too much responsibility and you have to worry about what everyone is doing, when someone is messing up, when there is conflict you'll need to resolve it and so on. No ways in heck I can do that. But on the flip side, being a low-ranking follower with no privileges or higher abilities can also suck because you'll just be pushed around and that can be annoy too if you have no power.

I think the ideal position is to be some admin with not too many responsibilities but some power. That way you have some power over those who cause trouble and you can help those who get pushed around or bullied. But you won't need to worry about logistics and having to run around after everyone.

This also depends on context though, of course.

Personally, i think any leadership position requires a great deal of responsibility. I wouldn't mind fulfilling on IRL but when I play I seek relaxation and fun. So I wouldn't assume such a position in a virtual world.

I rather to be in the clan than running it. It's more simple and you don't have like pressure or responsibilities.

The deal is I will prefer to start a clan of my own hence will get to set the rules and be sure no one will send me out. I have had series of challenges with clans I have joined basically because of the clan rules. And often time there are some pretty good clans that fascinate me but couldn't join because of the strict requirements. But the truth is I never have the patients for starting a clan really.

I’m about to sound a little lazy but being a leader is just so much responsibility! I just rather being a simple member. To be the leader, it almost feels like a job. And right now I don’t have time for jobs that doesn’t get you paid lol!... I don’t like follow that much the rules but I rather do that than just invest some more time in creating my own! I’m a bit of a rebellious gamer myself!

I can tell you from experience that running a clan or guild is nothing but a headache. People are always complaining to you about something and they bombard you with complaints and questions as soon as you log on. Your far better off to just be a member and let someone else deal with all the headaches of being a leader.

I guess any leadership position face this kind of problems bro. That is why I hate taking this kind of responsibility online. If we need to be responsible for something then we might as well get paid to do it aye? Let's leave the serious stuff for the real life and enjoy gaming as a stress relief activity.

It depends. MMORPG, I like playing solo. RPG , with clan.

I rather join a clan instead of running it. Personally, I'm good following the rules, and I don't have time enough to run a clan, that would mean for me to recruit members, kick out some others, make rules according to all the potential members, be alert on any wrong behavior. Also you have to deal with all the drama on it.

Hi, I would enjoy being a clan leader, however, I do not have the time, sometimes I can only get online a few times a week for a couple of hours, some weeks I don't even get online. so I will just stay as a member. The other thing is I never ask to be in a clan, since I know I can not always be on to help the clan out as much as possible. and I always tell them up front, I might not be on for a week at a time. If they are ok with this then I will join the clan If I like the members in it or the clan leaders. If they say sorry we need active players I am ok with it.

Honestly id much rather like to be a leader. I realy dont like being told what to do but thats just me. I prefer being my own boss.
