2. Address the collaborative process within the clan you joined (this means you will use each part of the process, discuss the section and provide examples from your experience).
Clans are groups of players that join together in order to compete with other Clans in two ways: the first is to pool their trophies and battle to collect the most trophies, and the second is to win Clan Wars for loot and prestige. Members of Clans have a private chat for socializing with each other and are able to donate troops to each other. Within a Clan there are four ranks, member, elder, co-leader, and leader. Including the leader, you can have up to 50 members in a Clan.
Joining a Clan
To be a member of a Clan you must first repair your Clan Castle. To do this will cost you 10,000 gold. Once your Clan Castle has been repaired you have the option of joining or creating a Clan. There are various ways to join a Clan. Below are some examples:
View a Clan that has the status 'Anyone Can Join' and tap the 'join' button.
Send a request to join a Clan that has the status 'invite only'.
Go on global chat and watch for people recruiting members to join their Clan.
Accepting an invitation sent by a clan elder/co-leader/leader.
Note: Some Clans have a minimum trophy requirement to join their Clan; you cannot join nor send a request to join if you do not meet the trophy requirement (you can, however, be invited and accept the invite). The trophy requirement is set by the Clan leader or co-leader and can vary from from 0 to 4,200.
Clan Ranks
(Not to be confused with Clan Rankings)
Leader
Clan leaders are the ones who have the big responsibility of managing their Clan. In order to create a brand-new Clan, it costs an additional 40,000 gold, whereupon the player will immediately become the first member and leader of the new Clan. The leader has the administrative authority to invite players to join their Clan, accept or decline requests to join, start wars, and promote/demote members to and from eldership and/or co-leader. The leader can kick out co-leaders, elders, and members.
Additionally, a Clan leader has the ability to demote themselves and promote another player to leader. This move is generally only made in particular circumstances and should be exercised with extreme caution, as once another member is made leader the former leader no longer holds the same administrative powers. Typically a Clan leader should only do this if the person they promoted was entirely trusted. If the Clan leader leaves without promoting someone else to leader, the co-leader who has been in the clan for longest will automatically become leader. If there are no co-leaders, the most senior elder will take the position, and if there are no co-leaders nor elders the oldest member in the Clan will obtain leadership. If the leader is the only one in the Clan when he leaves, the Clan will close.
The main difference between the Clan leader and an co-leader is that only the leader has the authority to bestow (and withdraw) the title of co-leader on another player. It is strongly discouraged for leaders to freely give away leader status, as this will completely and irrevocably relinquish control to the new leader. There can only be one leader at a time.
Making a new Clan
Assuming his or her
Clan Castle is already rebuilt, a player must do the following to create a new Clan:
- Choose the badge and name of the clan.
- Make a description of your clan to let know others what you're all about (optional)!
- Select the status of the clan/clan type. i.e.; Anyone can join, invite only or closed.
- Set the amount of trophies required to join the clan (this field can be left blank and the default will be 0).
- Select the war frequency of the clan.
- Choose out the Clan Location of your clan.
- Pay the required 40,000 gold.
Editing Your Clan
The leader or co-leader(s) of the Clan may edit the
badge, Clan type, minimum
trophyrequirement and description of the Clan. It is not possible to change the name of a Clan once it has been created.
Clan setting updates can now be seen in the Clan Chat, indicating who changed them.
Clan Types
Closed
You are not allowed to join the Clan at this time, even if there is room and you fit the requirements. However, you can be part of a closed Clan if invited personally by an elder/co-leader or the leader of the said Clan, invitations can also bypass Trophy requirements set by the Clan.
Invite Only
You can apply to join this Clan if you have at least the minimum number of
trophies required. Your message will pop up in the Clan chat, at which time a
clan elder,
co-leader or a
leader can accept you (which causes you to immediately join the Clan) or reject you. If you have been rejected you will have to wait 6–8 hours until you can apply again for the same Clan. You will receive a message if you are rejected.
Members cannot invite or accept pending invites. You can accept or decline an invite sent by the
elder,
co-leader or
leader of a clan.
Note that you can apply to multiple Clans at once. You will join the first Clan that accepts your application, and any subsequent Clans that try to accept you will receive a message that you are already in another Clan (although the application will stay in chat until it is either accepted or rejected, and there is otherwise no indication that you have joined another Clan in the meantime).
Anyone Can Join
This is a type of Clan where anyone can join. Even if anyone is able to join, you must still have at least the minimum number of
trophies that the Clan requires.
Minimum Trophy Requirement
This may be adjusted from 0-4,200. It will stop players of a lower
trophy count from joining, but will hopefully attract higher levels. A player of a lower
trophy count may join if invited by an elder, co-leader or leader of the clan. The minimum
trophy requirement can be increased by increments of 200 from 0 to 1,000, and by increments of 100 from 1,000 to 4,200. Anyone without the required amount of
trophies cannot join the Clan, but Clan members or elders which are below the
trophy requirement will not be automatically kicked from the Clan (the leader or co-leaders can manually do so, of course). An elder cannot kick an elder, nor can a co-leader kick a co-leader.
Clan Badge
All Clans have a badge, which is initially designed by the leader when he or she creates the Clan. The leader can customize the badge using the 79 preset patterns, 12 colors and 20 borders that Supercell has provided.

4. Address the issue of how, if at all, this game could be used to educate the younger generation about digital citizenship.
the diversion is in view of the advanced citizenship manual aide, so the learners and more individuals will pick up learning on computerized citizenship and how it influences our every day lives
