Clans can have up to 50 players, with members organized into 4 earned ranks. When you tap on a Clan mate's info screen, you'll be given various actionable options depending on your rank.
Member
When you join or rejoin a Clan, you will automatically earn membership. Even if you were an Elder, Co-leader or Leader in another or the same Clan before, you will always start as a Member when you join a Clan.
Elder
An Elder has more responsibilities than a Member, but less than a Co-leader or Leader.
Elders can:
- Invite players to join the Clan
- Accept players into the Clan or kick out Clan members (once every 20 minutes)
Co-Leader
A Co-leader has more responsibilities than an Elder but less than a Leader.
Co-leaders can:
- Invite players to the Clan
- Accept players into the Clan
- Promote and demote Clan Elders
- Promote new Co-leaders
- Kick out Clan members and Elders
- Send messages to the whole Clan (there is a 12 hour cool-down period until you can write a message again)
- Remove defenses from Clan Boat
Leader
A Leader has the most responsibility and can make the most decisions.
Leaders can:
- Invite players to join the Clan
- Accept and decline requests to join the Clan
- Promote and demote Clan Elders and Co-leaders
- Demote themselves and give leadership to a Co-leader. Do so with caution, as all leadership responsibilities will be lost
- Send messages to the whole Clan (there is a 12 hour cool-down period until you can write a message again)
- Remove defenses from Clan Boat
- Nudge other members during Battle Days
Be Careful Who You Promote!
Promoting members gives them significant responsibilities. If they aren’t prepared for the role or don’t take it seriously, it could have adverse effects on your Clan. Screen your members carefully and promote only those you know and trust.
For example, Co-leaders can kick out almost anybody in the Clan. Elders can kick out members. This leaves a lot of room for dirty politics if handled improperly. Kicking out people for no reason might be a mean thing to do, but it’s not against the rules.
We can’t retroactively change Clan dynamics in the event of one bad apple. We like each Clan to be independent.
