First off, if you want to make a LORD team to just make a rivalry, boost your ego, unfairly dominate a game, help others cheat, give money to new users and tell them dirty ways to play, and so on, STOP. None of what follows will interest you! If you want to make a team to stop some ego-powered twerp, help new users with tips, and then money, stop cheating, or to just have a good time without trying to rule a game, please read on. |
The first thing you should do before making a team is to make sure
you have met the above requirements, you know how to play the game fairly
well, make sure there are enough players that your team will only be a tiny
part of the game
If you are not sure if your team is needed read on and decide if it fits what this all says.
Now you need a name, and a sign for your team. My team was/is the
Lord Union "lu" and its symbol is a ~ in the front and back of your name
{don't use this for your team BTW} make sure your name isn't after you, or
about yourself
Once you make sure everything is set up, you have to find some folks. Don't just say in the daily announcements "Everybody join my team, just add a ~ in the front and back of your name" Either ask your friends, or make an announcement saying to apply, and just talk to the folks and find out if they will work. Soon you will have enough members to be a respectable team. Make sure some of you are powerful enough not to be pushed around, or nobody will care what you do {one should be level 12 or the highest level attained yet if its a new game, preferably that person is you.}
Now you finally have a team! Now its time to decide what you stand for. Well here are three basic rules that should help, remember never forget why you formed the team, explain to each member why. These rules were not originally made by me, but by a fella named archangel {who used to be in charge of what was the old LU, except for rule number 1}
1) Always play honorably and fairly, help all new players out, for you were once new to.
2) If someone kills a member of your team, and you can kill that person, do it IF it was done against the team. Remember in LORD people kill all the time. If you need to stop a evil team, kill the members, but only the members.
3) If a fellow member needs money, give all you can afford.
These rules should make sure your team wont die out in one day, but will be fair and nice to everyone.
Finally, when the problem is solved {the evil team disbands, the cheaters leave, the new folks stop coming for now, your little group has turned evil} wait a week or two. If the problem is still gone, disband your team, remember, it was not meant for you to succeed, but for the game. Keep in mind who was on it for the next crisis, and always remember what the team is for. If the problems expand to other boards, follow them. Start a mini cold war and start chapters before they come along, as long as you stop when their is no more problem.
All of this comes from the experience of the head of the LU, Maryland's {or at least Montgomery county and D.C.'s} oldest surviving team {with only 1 member since there is no cause for now} all warnings are made from the mistakes and bumbling moves made by its leader, so don't feel bad if you find you've done the same in the past. (We all get power-hungry sometimes).
