Board of leadership

 Leadership Expectations

1. As a member of leadership, you are held to higher standards than the rest of our community. Always represent yourself in a manner that is complimentary of XPG.
2. When you were first recruited you were expected to read and “like” our “Rules” and “Code of Conduct”. Any XPG member is expected to follow both, but as leadership it is incredibly important that we act as role models for the rest of the community.
3. When handling conflict within the community, you MUST maintain boundaries and remain unbiased to the situation when making judgments and gathering information/evidence.
4. Leadership makes decisions as a group. If you do not agree with a decision that was made, discuss it with leadership ONLY. DO NOT discuss it with members. We want to maintain a united stance.
5. You are required to be present for our biweekly meetings. We understand if you can’t be available for every meeting and we will take notes to make sure you are aware of what was discussed. Maintain regular and frequent contact with leadership. Notify leadership of any pre-planned absences. 
6. Help identify, select and train new and upcoming leaders. 
7. Follow the chain of command and educate community members to do the same. 
8. Actively recruit new members who would better the community. Educate members on the recruiting process, and encourage them to recruit as well. 

**The Council of Leaders** 

The Council of Leaders is made up of the founding members of ~XPG~. The Council works within a democratic structure voting on what is best for all of ~XPG~. These ideals keep the community from being about one person’s quest.

**Community Leader** (XCL)

Community Leaders are responsible for XPG as a whole and all divisions therein. Community Leaders are the role models for the entire XTREME PRECISION GAMERZ. Community Leaders are responsible for helping the Division Leaders with decisions pertaining to their specific Divisions in the community. Community Leaders must display sound judgment and decision making in all aspects of their online interaction.

Following are the responsibilities of each rank:

RECRUIT (XPGR)

A Recruit is a gamer who has been invited to get to know the XPG  community. They undergo a week-long trial period, enabling the gamer to decide if XPG is right for them, and giving the clan time to ensure the gamer will fit in with them. After the trial period, the lieutenants will vote on whether or not to accept the recruits into the community. 

PRIVATE (XPGP)

Privates are new members to ~XPG~. As such, time spent as a Private is geared towards getting to know the community and the professional manner in which we play.

• Maintain the community Discord. 

•When reports are received from the lieutenants on who is ready to receive the rank of sergeant, the general will be responsible for updating their rank in discord.

CLAN STRUCTURE PROMOTIONS

The goal of the CLAN STRUCTURE is to create smaller, tighter, stronger more personal clans. A clan is a group of friends who gets on to play together. Think for a minute, when you turn on your console who are you looking for first? The people you look for or text before you turn on your console, are your clan members.

Gone are the days of big clans. Gone are the days of dragging *** to get your clan split. Gone are the days of waiting for a promotion. Do what's required for promotion, do what's required to split and it's going to happen. If it doesn't, go straight to an XPG.

With XPG being in so many games and having members on so many platforms we MUST execute our clan structure perfectly in order to ensure YOU as a member are playing with like-minded gamers and enjoying playing with your friends.

1 General per 20-40 Active Members (Limit 1 per clan)
1 Captain to a minimum of 5 Active Members (Making this a Squad)
1 Lieutenant per Captain per squad.
There are NO amounts or ratios of sergeants or privates per clan or squad!
The proven ~XPG~ rank structure will be followed exactly how it is written!

All recruits must be introduced to their squad members and get to know them for the first seven days in the squad. Recruits must be put into squads with members who play similar games and on similar consoles. If a member of a squad switches games or consoles they must be transferred to a different squad or clan if necessary. These transfers will be approved by your section leader.

All recruits must be voted in by the Captain/members of their squad after the seven day trial period.
All recruits must be read the Honor Code before a clan invite is sent to them or a user group request is approved.

Clans can and will split with a minimum of 20 members and a maximum of 40 members. This is a guideline, not a rule.

Clans will split when leadership in the clan is ready! Regardless of how many members are in the clan!

Section Leaders put the request in the help desk. Division Leaders approve clan splits.

Community Leaders will oversee that the split is done properly. They will add the leaders (General, Captain, Lieutenant) to check-in and be available to talk and offer advice.

Division Leaders will approve all clan splits. They will physically move the members via the website (user group) into the new clan. At this point, any inactive or MIA members will be removed from the clan user group to reflect accurate clan lists.
Sections Leaders will ensure the success of the split. They will add all of the moved members to their friend list and be available to assist with questions and recruiting if necessary. Anything to ensure the success of both clans.
The Clan must have a complete clan structure in place. (See above)
One General, One Captain, One Lieutenant, and their group of people leave to start the new clan. (10-15 members including the General, Captain, Lieutenant)

There is no minimum or maximum of sergeants or privates to complete a clan split. Clans and squads WILL NOT be judged by a 3-1 ratio! THERE IS NO RATIO for member count and there never has been! NO ONE WILL EVER BE DEMOTED TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS RATIO! When a sergeant (member) decides they want to step up and show their leadership ability in our great community they are free to approach their lieutenant, captain, or general to let them know of their desire to lead. This is not asking for a promotion. This is simply sharing a desire or goal. People asking for promotions will not be rewarded with promotions. Time in position/community guarantees nothing! Promotions are rewarded to those who actively recruit and attempt to better the clan/community.

A Section Leader must be extremely involved in the new clan as well as the split clan to ensure the success of the squads until the clan reaches 20 members. The Section Leader must also ensure that no one is left behind.

Promotions are given out by the next level of rank. Captains choose their Lieutenants, Generals choose Captains. Captains promote sergeants. Sergeants are members of our community and have earned the right to wear an XPGS, gamer tag. Earning the rank of sergeant is a privilege! The rank of sergeant is a rank that can NEVER be removed once it has been earned! Getting recruits and privates to the sergeant position should be the Captain's/General's number 1 priority!
