Newbie Frequently Asked Questions
By: Jaylee Date: June 1, 2013, 10:38 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Q1. What is the purpose of a clan?
A - Clans exist for the social aspect of this game. We expect
members to contribute to the social atmosphere by posting on the
message boards, visiting the clan chat channel and by donating
to the clan stash or coffer. In return, we have purchased some
goodies in the clan rumpus room. Feel free to take meat from the
clan trees and stuffies from the klaw machine every day.We are
glad to have you in the clan and hope you enjoy the game and the
clan atmosphere!
Q2. How can I raise in rank access the clan basement dungeons?
A - Progression is automatic until the Doctor rank. To become
Attending Physician, reach a clan karma balance of 50k and kmail
PeKaJe.
Q3. How much karma do I have?
A - If you go to the clan stash up near the top of the page you
will find a statement something like this;
You currently have 500 Clan Karma.
Your clan grants 1 Karma for every 2 Meat you contribute.
You may spend up to 100 Karma per day.
This is an example of what it will look like when you first join
the clan. The 500 is your karma, the point system in clans. It
acts like meat which you can use to take items out of the clan
stash. The amount of karma you have determines your daily karma
spending limit. The more karma you have,the more karma you will
be able to spend taking items from the stash per day. This
example shows you can take 100 karma worth of stuff out of stash
each day. Each item in the stash has a karma cost, which is
displayed after the name of the item (for instance (-17), this
item would cost 17 karma). It works the opposite way if you
donate items to the stash. You will see (+17), which means you
will gain 17 karma by giving this item to the clan stash and
allowing other players access to it.
Q4. So what are the clan ranks and how much karma do I need for
each?
A - There are 3 probationary ranks (Med School Freshman, Intern
and Resident) which you get through in your initial weeks in the
clan.
Next is the Doctor rank which is what most people in the clan
are.
Blood Donors are multis of a clan member that are dedicated to
meat farming for the clan.
Leaders, Officers and Assistants are filled by the officers from
people who have volunteered and are active in various parts of
the clan's regular duties (like treasury, forum moderation,
personnel, etc)
The New Ranks:
We now have a group of ranks which are based mostly on meat
donations. The names of those ranks vary from Witch Doctor to
Brain Surgeon and give a slightly higher allowance of clan stash
withdrawal priviledges.
Q5. How do I access clan chat?
A - Go to Seaside Town, click on the right side of the tracks,
and click on the Altar of Literacy. Pass the very easy test and
the chat pane will be unlocked. You will see an "Enter the Chat"
link in the upper right corner of your screen. Click there, and
you will be in the chat channel /newbie. Simply type in "/c
clan" without the quotes into the chat bar and hit enter. You'll
be in /clan where you can chat with other clannies, ask for
help, introduce yourself, and have a good time.
Q6. Why do I have to use good grammar in /clan?
A - We are a cooperative clan that welcomes everyone, specially
newbies not yet used to the game lingo. Please no leet speak.
We're very understanding if English is not your native language
and of spelling and grammar errors. We try to chat in a pleasant
and easy to understand way.
Q7. Can I have some meat?
A - While a few people may answer your plea with a little meat,
it annoys almost everyone else. It is much more productive if
you ask for help attaining a specific goal, for instance a
specific item. "Can I get some help acquiring a meatspout
staff?" will get much better results than "meet plz". We do have
a Welcome Wagon team that offers a little free meat and items to
newbies.
Q8. How can one become a clan officer or moderator?
A - Clan officers are generally people who have been around the
clan for a while and have several ascensions. They are willing
to do work for the clan. Enjoy your first ascension or two and
after you become experienced, come and offer to help. If you
need help, you should by all means just ask in clan chat, forum
or discord.The criteria for officers are: Experience in the game
(in order to better help new members, friendliness, activity (is
on most days), and willingness to do specific tasks for the
clan.
Q9. Why doesn't our clan ever go to war?
A - We are a social clan intent on friendship, not war. War
costs lots of meat to build and maintain troops (we're talking
millions per day here, folks). If you'd like to front the meat
yourself, we'll consider it, but until then, we'll pass. It's a
meatsink and usually meat is much better spent in clan
advertising, which is a daily fee taken from our clan coffer in
order for our clan to appear higher in the search results when
players search for clans. In fact, you're probably a member due
to this.
Q10. Can I be an asshat in other chat channels or to other
players?
A - If anyone catches wind of any asshat behavior by any clan
member from any reliable source, you will be booted from this
clan and your actions will be reported to the leader of the next
clan you join. Asshat behavior includes, but is not limited to:
scamming, spamming, begging, arguing with mods, repeatedly
getting banned from chat by mods and everything else asshatish
that isn't coming to mind right now.
This does not apply to almost all of you, and no one should be
afraid to be themselves in chat, but if you have to ask yourself
if you're being an asshat, you should probably consider changing
your actions. And thank you to all you non-asshats out there for
making this game more enjoyable!
Q11. I have a question! Where can I go to get an answer?
A - There are many places you can go to get answers to your KoL
questions. The easiest place is the KoL wiki, a site dedicated
to documenting everything about the game. Search for what you're
looking for from the main page. The link is:
HTML http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/Main_Page
HTML http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/Main_Page
If you don't find an answer there, or need more information from
actual players, please post on the in game clan message boards
or ask in clan chat. If your question is for a specific player,
send it in k-mail by clicking on the messages link and typing
the player's name or number in the "To" box.
Hope this answers a few of your questions! :)

Hi -
I've asked for permission to enter the basement a couple times
and haven't heard anything. I'm an attending physician and have
signed everything I need to sign (I think) and messaged whom
I've needed to message. Does it usually take a couple of days?
Thanks

Read it. Now how do I actually apply to join the clan? I
couldn't find any way in KoL itself or on the forum... (EDIT:
Nevermind, just after I wrote this, I found the Apply button..
Derp)
