Kingdom of Loathing Clan Administration, Part 1

So, many of you wonder what the Kingdom of Loathing Clan Adminstrator does that is so different from the rest of the clan. Truth be told... Not really a lot, after setting up the Clan in the very beginning. There's not a whole lot of management, aside from promotions and demotions. This entry will disclose a couple of internals about Clan creation.

So, to your left, you'll see the clan rankings page. Click on it for a larger view... I have expanded my rank, so you can see all the options that can be set on a clan rank. Most are screamingly obvious.

Approve, Boot, Change Ranks and Titles - Can approve, boot and change the ranks and titles of clannies.
View Log and vie/edit WL - Every clan has a log of who does what, stash activity and such. Any rank with this check can see the logs and/or the Clan Whitelist.

Announcements and messages are self explanatory.

There is a Clan Warfare facet to KoL, but I find that it is largely a meat-sink and ignore it.

Buying Clan furniture and boosts allow a person to change the Rumpus Room or buy clan buffs. As this is VERY expensive, I limit the ability to do so.

The adventure / administrate Clan dungeons allows you to enter the dungeon, if 'administrate' is checked, you may give out loot and restart the dungeon.

The Forum moderation and administration allow someone to create sub-forums and/or delete posts.

Finally, all the Karma-Level options are indicative of how much stuff that rannk can pull out of the stash in a given day. In RHoP, the higher your rank, the more you can pull. You can also configure the ability to pull 0-karma items (like Mr. A's or IOTMs) from the stash here.

RHoP has 29 ranks, from Normal to Emperor Rotini... Each has it's own Karma pull and abilities.

I hope you enjoyed this quick look at clan rankings!
