Ok, I just need to know, why do some clans give promotions based off of KO's, I mean, it barely ever works, and it only lets people who can get kills become high ranks, not people who are good leaders.
Please, someone explain to me the pluses of this system, if any. AND DON'T SAY "So higher ranks are better fighters!" because that is hidious, and as I said before, doesn't let good leaders become high ranks, only good fighters.
Bullets, paragraphs, outlines, what ever. JUST TELL ME PLEASE! |

There is no benefit to it.
Hence RAT banning promotions based on KOs. |

| VAKs give promotions if you go 261-2 on a Decal. But it rarely happened. |

@Look, That's invalid, because no one ever accomplished that, stop making up your own rules. Surprisingly, Vaktus accepts Royal Guards based on their KO's and loyalty. That's it. |

@All, I know. This system is foolish, and idiotic. Any clan who uses it is just bound to fail. The UCR did and the high ranks, or most of them, were immature idiots who abused their powers. It was unbalanced, and offered less opertunity for mature, and good leaders who might of not been good fighters (Such as myself, I am confident with my skills as a leader). The best promotion system I've seen, is the one with multi focused trainings. For example, a training with Sword Fighting, then Gun Fighting, then leads to Raid practice, then leads to Obby's, you get the point.
I mean... any good leader would know KO promo systems will never work, unless done with balance with other aspects of being in a clan. I'll probably write a thread about this sometime just for fun when I'm bored. |

| You do seem like a good leader, indeed. Also, that's almost exactly all of why it doesn't work, and the esamples. |

@Armor, Thank you for the complement, much apperciated. ^~^. There are more reasons it doesn't work, but those are all passive, and more the less matters of psycology then actually corruption of the ranking system.
For example, a bad leader, gives bad commands, correct? Because of that, this cycle happens...
Bad leader -> Bad commands -> failed fights -> lost battles -> unhappy lower ranks -> Lower ranks will suffer psychologically from the loss, and anger of the leaders failed commands -> Lower ranks will do worse in battle while fighting under the bad leader -> Frustration in lower ranks -> Lower ranks leaving -> Dying clan.
That is just one, but a KO promotion system might have a long life, but is certain to die, no matter what. Sometimes it even has a life span of just a few months. This is just going to serve as a warning to new clans too, never to use a KO promotion system. UCR had it, and every raid on VAK I went to in the UCR, we lost dramaticly, and most high ranks used the nooby excuse of "HACKS!" or "LAAAG" or my personal favorite, "OVER POWERED GUNS!!!!!!!" |

| @Skilder, no offense, but if I am recieving this correctly, that system sounds bad too. I mean, maybe even worse than KO system. For one reason, the word Completing is in there. That means anyone who simply sits through a WHOLE training gets a promotion. They could be a bad fighter, and a bad leader, hell, they could be safechatters and bad fights too! Your system, needs to change, it will have the same negitive effects as a KO system, but much more devistating. |
