There are many ways:

  • Invite mates that you know from somewhere else. If they havent played teeworlds yet, you could make them play.

  • Get in a loosely composed group of teeworlds players and try to convert this group into a clan.

  • Play with / against others and invite the players that seem to fit to you / to your clan individually.

  • Try to show others the benefits to join your clan.

  • Make your clan or yourself more interesting by adding stuff like: servers, community, maps, mods, ...

  • Show that you are on a similar level like the people you are inviting.

  • Show that you know how to lead a clan. Just claiming that you are a great leader isnt enough, it is more a question about how you act.

  • ...

And please avoid to spam everywhere shit like this: "Who wants to join in my nooby-clan123.", "Hey, I have a new clan and invite new players.", "Please join my clan.", "My new clans homepage: www.nooby-clan123.net please visit and join.", ...

Yeah it's against my pride to go "plz join my team blah".
However i only have 1 friend intrested in platform games, the rest play Other games.

Also, exactly how do i show my benefits of the clan? i'm not much of a talker online, (i hate spamming "my team is so good we could beet pr0teamz easilye becuz its just a gud clan!!"

Re: Gathering Members

Quite depends on the gametypes your clan is playing, but you usually create one with a bunch of friends (2 or 3), play some games, win a few, and then propose some people, if they don't ask themselves.

You usually don't go like "Okay let's create this clan, now gotta look for members". You're more like "hey buddies, what if we set up a new clan?

Not Luck, Just Magic.

Re: Gathering Members

Famous clans made by  [1]running a server.City server and [2]also you need a site i can tell you how to make one just free.
Yola is really cool you can make a site that is good as a payment site.
[3]Not only city...now city modes are not so famous.The best is to make a DDWAR but make your own map so it can be special.
[4]Put in a broadcast your site so they can see your clan.The best way to keep them on the clan,make them please to go in.Like tell them that they need to be pro to go in or something else[i hope you got me] wink

love from:Dremy

If you want a perfect map for your own server you can PM me to make you one ^^

Please also try play nodes you may download it here!. And as always.Have a nice day

Thats the best way I think. Just play. With time you find some guys you
are chatting with, have fun playing and maybe they are interested in founding
a new clan. It would be a bad precondition if you just say:

'Hey, now I got a clan name, lets wait for people who are interested in playing with this name'

By talking to people you automatically find players who have (in most cases) similiar interests,
a gameplay that fits with yours and so on. So better wait and look what the future brings to you wink

Re: Gathering Members

I've managed to get another friend into teeworlds, now we are 3 members, unfortantly none of us can start a server, and neither feel like paying for one.

I swear that if i actually was german i'd get thousands of members wanting to join since they are so many.*

Make a city server

I despite the city-mod, it's not teeworlds in my opinion.
The same according DDWAR / DDRace that's not teeworlds in my opinion, i wanna stick to Instagib, Vanilla & Race.

Incase of missunderstanding i don't wanna create a DDRace-group of random players, i want a well structured team of players who don't just walk around without me knowing who they are, so i want to found great, international, old, good players.

Could you link a few website-creators? i don't like webs.com or forumotion.

Re: Gathering Members

If you want to find members you have to play with others players and be a friend of them. Thats always a good start for a clan.

Re: Gathering Members

So many ideas for such a simple discussion (Btw: Wrong section - Not Fan Art, Discussions plz).
Teeworlds is a low players number so clans can be only big if they have Servers.
What clans do you know? Candys? Of corse! They have lots of servers! Last Smile? Of corse! They have lots of servers!
Other stupid contest like web pages are only used for really big clans (That have servers, like Candys!)
Candys have lots of members cuzz' in their web page they say "Participate on the forum and get Rcon Passwords!"
Same with LastSmile.
And there is other important thing: Friendship And country. Does anyone know [PTF] Clan? Of corse not. It is a little clan of Portuguese guys. We don't have any web page or server. We are just a small group of players that have created a small clan. No Leader, no server, no nothing. Just friendship.
It doesn't really matter if your clan is popular or not, the important is if you like the guys that are on him!
So, in resume:

Popular Clan:
Servers and Free Rcons

Nice Clan:
Friends and fun

Don't you think that you are being aggressive with no reason?

Re: Gathering Members

I know Candys and LastSmile but I dont like them. The Candys Members think they are half gods.

Re: Gathering Members

Some add to TPhoenix:

There are thousands of players without a clan.
So it is up to you to pick the best of them to form a great line up, and it is your choice:
- friendship
- nice
- magic
- skill
- gametype

Ofc frienship is best, but if you dont know enough "friends" (i dont really like this word for internet connections, but back to topic) try to find a good balance between "nice", "skill" and proper interests (gametype, fun, high-level, etc).

Probably you won't get a perfect line-up within 2 days, but the more time you take to make your decisions, the better it will be (most likely).

In any case you shouldn't join any random server and spam "plz join uz, we are best!". Otherwise your clan will end up like itc.lol.

Whats nice to have, but not essential:
- Server: There are enough server, but it would  be nice for intern training
- Website: Just important for big clans, to coordinate via forum
- Leader: Imo not needed, a clan should work without leader too
