Post subject:  How To Run A Good Team
This guide was found on the TLA. It is a little outdated, but some sprucing up did a bit of good. A few things were taken out in order to keep some peaople from being discriminated. IT IS NOT A GUIDE OF CHURCHILL

BEFORE you even get a team do the following.


Seek out and find at least one counciler, preferably a good friend who you trust. Talk together about a team name, Find a few of your other friends and get them to agree to be officers on your new team and Then create it.


Remember: team name shouldent be specific, eg. Dronemaster leets.. or Multifirers.. it should be accessable for all classes, as a good team has most, if not all classes.


Create a team flag, 20px * 14px with the quilting skill.. who wants to be in a team with a naff flag?


Ok, so you have a team with a counciler/s and some officers, now you advertise for more members, what you DONT do is hire from all chat. you Talk to lowbies / friends of friends or People youve seen without teams, Shouting about hiring people in all chat is an invitation to traitors. If hiring people YOU personally dont know, ask for a referance from their last team leader if possible, and one player out of their previous team, also ask them a few questions such as: 1)what skills are you hoping to get in the future, 2) why are you joining this team in particular and 3) what would you do if offered a place on a big team like pantalones, you should look for answers such as: 1)a team skill, such as Multifire, dronemaster, base mastrys or Shield monkey. 2)a)Because i was told to join a good team by a high lvl, eg Retyu b)Because i believe i can help, and be helped by the team, and contribute to a community feel c)Because my friends are on this team 3)a) i would ask to be booted from this team, so as not to screw up loyalty score, and then join them or b) i would turn it down, prefering to be a good rank and valued member of a small team, than a anonymous member of a big one. DO not look for answers such as: 1)a) because i like the name/flag b)so i can improve my character 2)a) i woulden join (note: no reason) b)i would join (note: didnt ask to be booted for loyalty score - not team player)

Test all players within a day of their joining by asking them to commit to a rumble run, let them die and see their reaction - if its bad then you got a "NON TEAM PLAYER" and remove him

Promotions, keep all people soldier, so they can mark friend if accidents happen


Promote to operator/officer people who either have a large stake in the team, or people who work hard for it, remember - even if they dont have bases being officer is a moral boost to some people, and they feel appreciated, and therefore less likely to leave the team.


Team Prices, Sell everything as cheaply as possible to team, Free, or at basic extraction/build cost, DONT charge team the same price as other people.


Team Help, Especially in the rumbles, your team needs help, so go out of your way to do that, a good leader is a friend of the team, a bad leader is allways offline/busy.


Befriend other teams, Gather "mutual protection" off other teams, offering to help them if they are in danger and visa versa, its handy to have, and makes trips to rumble and copper easier.


Out of team policy, AVOID CONFLICT, and try to avoid asking for refunds if accidental losses are sustained.


Team Tithe Policy - Keep the tithe low(or zero), to keep the moral high.


Never be afraid to ask high levels like Retyu, or Bizman to help with advice if you get stuck, or even to help with mumble/uber runs.


Resolve in team conflicts not with violence but by discussing, boot members who dont discuss


Tractoring/Team shooting, if you see it, stop it. it may be fun, but it can lead to accidents, let me quote the time when someone undocked in a porp with a jetstream, and someone shot him once with an LC "for a laugh" and he died, losing his Weapons, which the shooter couldent scoop.


Enjoy a happy community Feel to your team
