Hi,
I joined the clan [MIHO] 33 Days ago, along with my real life brother, Yharon, and let me just say, its definitely been interesting so far.
When we joined, and still to this day, only 4 or 5 members out of the 29 have been active. The highest ranked one for a while was an Intelligence Officer named Drayko. We had formed a discord server for our clan, which has a few players now and we talk and hang out a lot, and platoon alot as well.
Drayko, despite being the highest rank among us and still not able to do much, wants to start doing Clan Battles/Skirmishes. We all agreed, thinking it would be fun. He has taken up the position of leader as he is the highest rank among the active players.
Now, about the Clan Commander and Second-in-Command, Miho_Nishizumi_14 and DevinRuan. Miho has not logged on in 5 months, and Devin in a year. This may seem like a typical problem, a long of people talk about it, inactive Clan leaders, but it gets interesting.
[GOOD PART]
A couple of interesting things have happened. A couple weeks ago, while our clan has been busy in real life, due to exams in college, one of our members had ranked up to Combat Officer. It was Yharon. We were fucking confused, questioning if ranking up could be automatic, afterall, no one above Drayko has logged in, and he is a lower rank than Combat Officer, so he couldn't have ranked up Yharon. We questioned this heavily, calling several clan meetings over call and discussing what the possibilities were while Yharon searched for answers on google.
A few days later, a new Rank up occurred. Yharon had ranked up to Personnel Officer. At the time he was the third highest ranked among the Clan. It was so random. A player who had only been part of the clan for 33 days had gotten ranked up to Third-in-Command, while a player with over a year of being in the clan is only Intelligence Officer.
Even weirder, and about this time things started opening up, a player named Natsumi Yuki had joined the clan, and was instantly promoted to Executive Officer, among DevinRuan and Miho. We began hypothesizing that maybe the Clan Commander was still active somehow, but just doesnt participate in the game. We dismissed it thinking it was crazy. Who would still manage a clan in a game that they have not logged in over 5 months? It was around this time Yharon had submitted a ticket to WoT thinking we might get some answers. That was when something happened. Yharon had stumbled across the clan log and saw that Miho had, in fact, ranked up players.
Its sooo fucking confusing. We tried seeing if we could private message the Commander or something, but we could not reach him. As it stands, our only idea for somehow contacting the clan commander is to talk to this new Natsumi Yuki. We figure if he got ranked up immediately to Executive Officer that maybe he was connected to Miho in real life.
We know about the fact that its virtually impossible to "impeach" / get rid of an Inactive Clan Commander, but we still want to see if people have any thoughts on the situation. We are currently trying to "save" the clan.
I SHOULD CLARIFY AND MAKE CLEAR THAT NO ONE IS CONNECTED TO THE CLAN COMMANDER OR EXECUTIVE OFFICER(S)
TL:DR
Strange happenings with an inactive clan commander suggestive that despite not having logged in over 5 months, is still active, and we want to see if we could do anything about it and are collecting people's thoughts.
What are your thoughts, people? Do you think its normal/possible to manage a clan in a game you don't even play any more?
