How To Start A Mafia Wars Clan

One of our blog readers asked how to start a clan in Mafia Wars and I thought that others may have the same question so I decided to post an article about how to do it.

First let me say that the way that I would go about creating a clan is not the only way that it can be done but it makes the most sense to me, and I will try to take you step by step through the way I would go about creating one.

1.) Clan Name

The first thing that I would do is come up with a clan name. The name can be pretty much anything that you want it to be. I have come across funny names, names with references to movie or TV based organizations, serious names and more. The only recommendation that I have is to keep your name clean and avoid vulgarity.

Before deciding on the name you may want to make sure that it is not already taken by doing some online research. Sure there is no real law that says you cannot have the same name as another clan but why would you want to?

2.) Develop Clan Symbol

Come up with the symbol that you are going to require members to wear as a prefix on their name. This bit puzzles me a bit. First of all Mafia Wars is about the mafia and how many real world mobsters do you know that advertise that they are part of a mafia? Why then would you want to do it in Mafia Wars other than to let people know who is attacking them?

If I am working the hitlist and want to be the most feared hit man in the entire game I would not wear any kind of identifying mark at all. What is more disconcerting a player with “Hitman INC” in their name which everyone knows who they are and what they are trying to do, or the player who comes out of nowhere does the hit and just as quickly disappears back into nowhere?

I know that Mafia Wars is a game that does not lend itself very well to cloak and dagger mysterious organizations but we can always hope.

3.) Rules Set

You will need to develop a rules set that you expect all members to follow. This might be simply requiring every member to spend Godfather points to put you clan symbol in front of their name. The rules set can also be much more complicated and set down restrictions on who players can attack, who they cannot attack, etc. The rule set can be as complicated as you like. Personally I would keep it simple.

4.) Recruiting Members

There is no clan without members so you are going to have to recruit. The easiest way to do this is probably by starting a group on facebook or the Social Network that you play on. You can set the group to be by invitation only and start out by inviting members of your own mafia.

From these chosen members you will pick a group of officers. Go easy on the amount of officers that you choose because they really do not have any duties so you do not need a large amount.

You can increase the size of the clan by allowing your current members to choose members of their own mafia and have them contact you or one of your officers for group approval. Since there are millions of players playing Mafia Wars this can become a snowball effect and your clan can become truly huge.

Setting up a clan in Mafia Wars is really pretty easy. All that you have to do is decide on a name, symbol, rules set, and start recruiting. Pick a few members to designate as officers and grow your clan from the ranks of your member’s mafia lists.

I hope that this answers any questions that you might have.
