If you are new to Naruto-Arena & Naruto-Boards, one of the most useful things to join is a clan. Now choosing a clan is something that takes some real thought. Remember that joining a clan is like joining a college. Its best to join a clan that suits you. Here are some things that should be considered when choosing a clan to join...

Requirements- When you are going to join a clan, you have to make sure that you even meet the requirements. If you have your mind set towards a specific clan then you should make that your top priority. If you ask to join a clan, and do not meet the requirements a denial is almost guaranteed. One of the only ways around that is to get a personal invitation.

Leader- A strong clan is only upheld by a strong leader. So when choosing a clan make sure that the leader is someone who at least looks like they know what they are doing. A veteran is usually suitable for the job, because they have been here longer and know the workings of Naruto-Arena/Boards. A leader's win/loss record isn't something that defines what makes a great leader. Organization, personality, respect, and other qualities of the such are what make a great leader.

Members- Not only does a strong clan need a strong leader, but strong members alike are also what uphold a strong clan. You should take a look at other members of that clan, and see if you would get along with them. Remember that Naruto-Arena/Boards is still just a game, and should be for fun. Growing relationships with a clans' members can keep you close to the clan feeling more like a family.

Main topic/Forum- You usually want to visit a clan's main topic or forum before joining it. At the main topic or forum you should find everything there is to know about that clan. The main topic/forum can show how organized and large a clan is. Main topics & forums are what sometimes draw your attention and make you want to join it. Don't only take that into consideration though.

History- Great clans will usually have some sort of interesting history. Whether or not it is posted on the topic does not mean that they have not made an impact. Most clans that are well known today have been through some great ups and downs. If a clan is strong they would have lasted through these bumps. The longer a clan has been around, the more likely it is a good one.

War Record- Wars are a great thing to check out. Wars show the strength of a clan, but not always. Sometimes a clan's war record can even be fake. You decide whether or not you believe it. You may see some surprising wins & losses on their record that might get you to consider or forget about joining that clan.

GFX/Logo- A clan can sometimes have great GFXer's (Graphic designers), and a logo. Logos are what represent a clan on most of your Graphic items. You want to make sure it is something unique, and isn't something like a plain square or circle. Also if you join a clan, its GFXer's can really help you with signatures and any other GFX items. This is just something extra that would be great to have in the clan you are joining.

Unique name- A name is the first thing that will catch your attention. It is the one thing that will stay in your head if it is really good. You want something unique about it. So make sure, unless it is the original, that it isn't something like "Akatsuki blah blah" or "Super sharingan sasuke lovers". Sometimes a name will be for the fun of it, but try to stick to something of your taste.

Theme/Motto- A theme/motto is what a clan is all about. Whether it is following the truth, or gaining respect. A theme/motto can even be based on a fantasy, anime, or movie. Ie: AC-r____Sparta. If you think that, that isn't something that suits your needs then that clan most likely isn't for you. However, assumptions aren't for the best when choosing a clan. So just give it a chance.

Activity- Clans are constantly being made now-a-days, but not all of them last. So make sure that they clan you join is one that is constantly being active in Naruto-Boards. Whether it is hosting or joining tournaments constantly, or posting topics make sure they are active. Activity will keep a clan going, so if you rarely see that clan doing stuff then it is unlikely that they will survive.

Timezones- Naruto-Arena is played around the entire world. So when checking activity remember that not everyone lives in the same timezone. 3 p.m. for you might be 5 a.m. for you clan leader. Make sure you check up on this before assuming a clan is inactive.

Welcome & Comfort- Remember that joining a clan is for your benefits, and noone else's. So make sure that when joining a clan you feel at home, and don't always have to be on your guard. You should be able to get along with the members, and gave a great time with them. Everytime you go to their chatboxes, you should always be expecting a big "Hey!" and not..."He's here again...". So once again make sure you are as comfortable as possible.

I'd just like to add that clans are not all about being good in game and beating other clans
