Hello there, and thankyou for reading our New Recruits section. This message is here to help people like you who are considering joining the clan. Follow the necessary steps below in order to become part of Buu. For the ease of the people in the clan, and also to better assist you, everything you need to know has been included in this thread. If there is something you don't understand, be sure to explore the forum. Everything you could possibly ask is answered on here in one way or another. If you still have a question, post it in the help section, or ask a member in the Op Room. For those of you who are confused as to WHY we have it set up like this - as opposed to just trying someone out and letting them in immediately - the answer is, because this is BETTER. It makes a more efficient clan. This forum is a resource for gamers, and people who just like to play with forums. Enjoy.
For more information on the clan structure - Read the Clan Charter in the New Recruits folder.

Things you MUST do right now[/u][/size]
1: Have you registered and logged in to the forum yet?
Make sure that you do it! If you have not done it yet, then go to register (at the very top of this screen) and input your e-mail address. Your password will be e-mailed to you. It will take about 5 minutes to receive your activation code. After you get it, you can log in under your name and input your activation code. After using it once - you'll never have to use it again.
2: Starcraft Players: Do you think you can play 100 games easily? Do you want to rank up faster than normal?
If you do, then you may make a name with [Bgg] at the end of it, instead of [Buu]. If you choose to be Bgg, you will be Bgg until you advance through their ranks. This can be done quickly. Read up on the [Bgg] in the Bgg section on this forum. Finishing the Bgg means you can join a CLOSED Branch, or just accumulate rank points.
Only Starcraft players can be [Bgg].
If you are WC3 or D2, you are [Buu] automatically. If you have both Starcraft and either WC3 or D2 and play on both, you automatically advance to [Buu] when not on starcraft.
3: Are you assigned to a branch yet?
This is the part that confuses most new members. Clan Buu doesn't have a single rank system, instead it has many different branches with their own ranks. Normally, new members are allowed to choose which branch you start in, but only if the branch is OPEN. Find out which branches are open by typing ,BRANCH in the channel.
Once you choose which branch you want to be a part of, read the Official Listing of Ranks in the branch, and then Sign Up for the lowest rank.
If you are a [Buu] and have not already been assigned a branch by a recruiter then you get to choose. If you are a [Bgg] then you MUST CHOOSE Bgg as your branch.
Wacraft 3 Players: Your branch is the WC3 Branch.
Diablo 2 Players: Your branch is the Diablo 2 Monarchy.
If you are in either of those branches, but you ALSO own starcraft, then you STILL GET to pick a regular branch.
The only branches not open to people just joining the clan are The Inquisitor's, and The Council.
Scroll down to the Imperial Branches, and look at them carefully. After you have decided which branch you want to join. Open the folder, and open the thread RANK SIGN UP SHEET. If you are BGG then open up the sheet in the BGG thread.[/i] Reply to the thread, and include your battle.net name and the lowest rank in that branch. Every time you receive a promotion, go back to the sign up sheet, and record your name and your new rank. [/i]This is done so we have an official forum record of ranks and promotions of members.
You may notice that people are ranked in multiple branches at the same time. If you ever reach rank (3) in the branch that you're in, you are allowed to expand into another branch. Some people may be specially assigned into branches even though they are not rank (3) in any branch. Pay attention to these people, they are on the fast track to success.
Remember: You are the Direct superior of anyone who has less rank than you in YOUR BRANCH.
You are an Indirect superior of anyone who has less access than you on the bot.
Direct superior: You are allowed to order the people beneath you around to do anything. They are under your control and must do anything you say within reason. You have the ability to suspend their access or remove it (If you don't have enough, find someone with higher access who does), and either promote them or demote them at your sole discretion. It's all up to you.
Indirect superior: You are more important than the people with less access than you and can treat them as inferiors, but you may not boss them around. Do not suspend or change access of the people beneath you unless they show just cause. Remember however! If you have less access than someone, but are ranked lower than them in a particular branch, they are your Direct Superior, and you cannot question them. Pay attention to this!
(Direct and Indirect Superiors orders are mostly used In Game... ie. Attack Red... get me more defense, etc. Although orders could extend to other areas of the clan, they usually do not.)
4: Is your rank in your profile yet?
You MUST add your rank into your profile. You automatically begin at rank (0) in whichever branch you have chosen to join. You must have your rank in your profile so that other players know what branch you are in, and how high up you are. Remember - You can be in multiple branches at the same time, but everyone begins in one!
5: All new recruits begin with 100 access.
Buu] get 50 additional access for each rank point, while [Bgg] only get 35 additional access for each rank point until they advance out of the [Bgg]. For example: a [Buu] with rank 1 would have 135 access, but a [Bgg] with rank 0 would only have 100.
6: If you recruit someone, do you know what to do?
If you were to recruit a new member. There are several things you must do.
The ,4M command tells them about this thread. If they are having difficulties, PLEASE ASSIST THEM. Set their access by typing (,set NAME 100). After you have set their access on their [Buu] or [Bgg] name - Tell them to visit the forums, and read the Clan Rules and Requirements. The very same text you are reading now.
Help them along in the process. They may ask questions about the clan. Do you know all the rules and can you help them? If you get someone through all the processes and you even set their access and put them on the monitor, you have successfully recruited someone. If you want, you may make a mark of that on your profile.
Make sure that you recruit as often as possible!!!
Make sure you use these forums often.
They are OUR forums.
ENJOY!
**If you have recruited yourself, you will be given access by a member AFTER you have signed up for your rank in the SIGN UP SHEET, and you have posted the rank (0) in your profile.
