NOTE: Phrases in this color are new rules that will be implemented once the expansion for Warcraft III is released to stores.
1. You must own Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne expansion pack. Seeing as how I (BigBoston) don't own any other games, this is a must. Starcraft and Diablo branches of the clan may start, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
2. You have to receive a thumbs up from the clan. All active members will be notified that you wish to join. If everyone gives you a "yea" vote, you're in. You must receive the "thumbs-up" from most shaman in the clan. Grunts and Peons can put in their two cents, but the Shaman decide your fate unless there is a huge opposition by lesser-ranked members.
3. Hacks and other forms of cheating are forbidden. Clan Donut doesn't care how bad you are at the game, so don't try to impress us by cheating and racking up 100+ wins. Hacking will get you kicked out without warning! Players who previously hacked in The Reign of Chaos and on the Frozen Throne Beta will not be permitted to join.
4. You must have a "D." in front of your name and your name must be a donut flavor, topping, etc. Be creative, too. We have a KrispyK, so no KrispyKreme, please. Check out the member page so you can tell which names have been taken. Also be sure to check the names of retired members, as these names are also off-limits as well. Names have to be approved by me, BigBoston. This odd form of Clan ID is basically there to tell us apart from another clan that may use "D." The "D." clan tag will soon be gone as a requirement. Members who join BEFORE the commercial release of the expansion must still have the "D." in their name. Once the expansion is released, all new members henceforth will only need a donut topping for a name and will not be allowed to have the "D." in their name. The "D." will show new members who the veteran members of Clan Donut are.
5. Let us know you're alive. E-mail us, stay active on Battle.net, etc. If no one has heard from you in a while (a month or so), I'll put you on inactive status. This isn't a bad thing, and it won't get you kicked from the clan (unless your gone for a year or something) but you will have no say in clan business (new member vote, stuff like that). Check the member page for an "inactive" to see if you got that status. E-mail any member or meet us on Battle.net to get it remove. Simple, isn't it? Players must be active on the Frozen Throne servers to prevent inactive status.
6. This is your only clan. Sorry, but we like to have loyalty when it comes to things like tournaments and the like. We really can't track your clan involvments (assuming you're smart enough to make a new screen name) so it's a matter of honor and Tauren-esque stuff like that. If we do find that you've been cheating on us, you're gone. And we get half of everything.
7. Have fun. Stupid, isn't it? But people get so into this game, it's devoid of fun. Things that you spend 60-80 bucks on are supposed to reduce stress, not promote it (especially computer games). Stress is caused by jobs, and since it'll be awhile before Warcraft III will feed, clothe, and house you, enjoy this game. Lose in creative ways, laugh off losses, play some custom games, whatever. Our goal here is to have fun, not be number 1 on the ladder. If you can't handle that, you can't handle this clan.
8. Give us money. All right, this is a joke, but that doesn't mean we're not above a donation or ten...
We are accepting members again, but don't expect us to just let you in because you ask. We're going to have to play a couple games first to get to know you. The last thing we both want is for us to hate each other.
