Overview

Tribes are smaller units within the Shadowclan as a whole. They simulate the small tight knit feel of a small clan, working within a larger clan. They are collections of players with similar goals, attitudes, philosophies, or play-styles. Rivalry between tribes is acceptable and encouraged, as long as loyalty to Shadowclan stays in focus.

You must be of rank Major to join a tribe.

Tribed Majors do not carry any authority over tribeless Majors.

Tribes are free to structure themselves however they wish. Unlike Shadowclan as a whole which is inclusive and open membership, tribes are free to regulate recruitment however they feel best, whether that means open recruitment, invitation only, skill or skill-set requirements, or entry challenges.

To form a tribe, you must have a theme and official proposal submitted to and approved by the Supreme General. You must have at least three active members, plus at least one Colonel. A Major interested in forming a tribe can apply to the Supreme General with their proposal and member list, and be considered for promotion to colonel if qualified and the state of the clan is ready for an additional colonel.

Tribes have the option of choosing one of the candidates for General in the monthly tournament, from their own members.
