"Leadership is an action, not a position."
Recycling Leadership

We do NOT recycle leadership. Just because someone has previously been in leadership does not mean they are the right person for leadership currently. Evaluate all members the same, regardless of past experience or knowledge, and see who earns the promotion by being a positive example in the clan and moving the clan forward. If you allow your judgment to be influenced by friendships and what people tell you instead of letting their actions speak for themselves, you and your leaders will have trained your future leadership to be the same way. If you don't know what you should be looking for when promoting leaders, ask questions and use your chain command or the open door if needed.

Open Communication & the Open Door Policy
The open door policy is in place to be used by members to hit up leaders within the community to discuss any ideas or issues they may be having without consequence. While we encourage the open communication, it is important to make sure we are not abusing this policy and we are taking the opportunity to have the hard conversations with our direct leadership.

“You cannot be a leader, and ask other people to follow you, unless you know how to follow, too.”
By: Sam Rayburn

Happy Mother's Day next weekend from Xiled Gaming!
RELATIONSHIPS AND LEADERSHIP IN XG

To eliminate drama and keep any kind of favoritism or feelings from influencing decisions, XG does not allow husband/wife, boyfriend/girlfriend, or immediate family to directly report. We realize that with the amazing members we have, at some point you might find the person who completes your life. If you do, we require you to notify a leader (XD, XC, XI) so one of you can be moved. Notifying a leader of these relationships will not result in the loss of rank or removal from the community. However, any lying, deception, manipulation of stories or members, or relationships that generate issues or drama for the community may result in demotion and/or removal from the community. The rank structure is intended to be followed without personal feelings or emotional decisions affecting the directions of our clans.

Look, we get it, some of you are going to date. We don't care! Just spare us and your division the drama of going through it by being honest!

Let's discuss this with all the Leaders:
Clarify what this entails by giving some what ifs and discuss this in detail. If members want their family members in the clan, it is fine as long as those members aren’t seeking leadership in the same clan. We say “family-oriented” then say they cannot be together. Make sure everyone goes over this and if any questions anyone might have we will answer them. Xiled Gaming wants everyone happy and that is what we a striving for.

Values:

Throughout its history, the Xiled Gaming Community has successfully met all its challenges. The online XG community began in January of 2006, the Council of Leaders broke from the community known as KSI in order to run a Community free of cheating, trash talking, racism and run it the way they see fit.

From those early days of the XG community there has been, certain bedrock principles or core values that have been carried by the members in silence. They consist of three basic principles, and together create the XGC mission.

Honor: "I will bear true faith and allegiance..." Accordingly, we will: Conduct ourselves in the highest ethical manner in all relationships with peers, superiors and subordinates.

Courage: "I will support..." Accordingly, we will have: courage to meet the demands of our profession and the mission when it is, demanding, or otherwise difficult; Make decisions in the best interest of the XG community and XBOX-LIVE, without regard to personal consequences.

Commitment: "I will obey the orders..." Accordingly, we will: Demand respect up and down the chain of command; Care for the safety, professional, personal and spiritual well-being of our people; Show respect toward all people without regard to race, religion, skill or gender; Treat each individual with human dignity; Be committed to positive change and constant improvement; Exhibit the highest degree of moral character, technical excellence, quality and competence in what we have been trained to do. The day-to-day duty of every XG man and woman is to work together as a team to improve the quality of our work, our people and ourselves.

Irrational Decisions:

When members get stressed and feel like stepping down and/or leaving is the best option just to come back a day later, this is becoming a problem. When people feel like this and express this, we need to have those members take a step back and "cool off" and think about their decision before jumping the gun. If members leave, they will not be given a pass to come back because they had a change of heart. In the event a member wants to come back after leaving, GWG is the route they will need to take. Every situation will be handled on a case by case basis.
Leaders, please remember you should have a 24 to 48 hr cooling period before you jump to remove the member, unless it is a problem member. Don’t leave it to the member that is upset at that moment to try and decide if they want extra time. As a leader, listen to why they want to leave and be done at that time. Then hit them up after some cool down time has passed and emotions have calmed to discuss if they really want to leave or not. Also consider a transfer.

Working with Peers

To be successful as a group of leaders, we have to be working as a team. You have to be a strong enough leader to be able to put petty differences aside to work for the betterment of the whole team. There is no room for condescending remarks or attitudes when a peer comes to you for help. Furthermore, if you are an XS with experience, you should be sharing your experiences to help your fellow XS's. None of us have the exact same experiences, therefore you can be a valuable asset during those times. For example, say that a new XS has a clan that is having issues and is in need of rebuilding. If you know that this XS has never been through this before and you have, share your knowledge to help your peer and the community. Furthermore, if you are an XS who has produced other XS's out of your section, you should develop a mentor/protege relationship with those XS's. You should be there for them to make sure that they are successful.

Training The Future:

Leadership Training should be taking place all the time. If your clan is going good, keep training leadership. We have seen many instances where a clan is good but then something happens and the captain or Lieutenant have to go inactive and the clan falls apart. The purpose of having the next set of leaders ready is so that they can step up when their time comes. To know if this occurs be active with your clans and get to know the leaders and future leaders. Don't take someone's word about what's going on.

No Man Left Behind:

All leadership needs to be making sure that no one is left behind in the clan. Leadership should be gaming with the members of the clan. Captains should be gaming with members of their squads. If someone isn’t gaming with the squad/clan, don’t just assume that they are inactive. Reach out to them because a lot of times the reason that they are not gaming with the squad/clan is because no one is reaching out to them. If you have someone that is not playing the same games as the clan, please find them a clan that is playing the same games as them. Our goal is for our members to all have someone to game with and sometimes that means finding them a new home so that they can also enjoy being in the community.

Summer Months:

It is quickly coming up on summer, which poses two issues that need to be addressed. First off, the end of the school year is quickly approaching, which means that there will be a lot more people on the games, providing us with new recruiting opportunities, but beware that many of them may be underage for our community. Be vigilant while recruiting, and please remember to properly vet your possible new recruits. The second thing that everyone needs to be prepared for during the summer is clan members taking vacations. If you are planning on taking a vacation, please remember to message your leadership so that they know that you are not inactive. It has happened that someone goes on vacation forgets to notify leadership, and they get removed for inactivity. All of this boils down to the proper execution of communication.

Creating Activity

Probably the biggest question heard by Generals(Clan Leaders) and Captains(Squad Leaders) is how to increase activity. Often times, you will see a clan member who may not play a lot with the clan and/or never makes it few if any meetings. While there are many ways that are done now(Meetings, Game Nights, Clan Parties), one way that is often overlooked may also one of the easiest. When you see them online, ask for an invite to their party and/or game. Play with them, and make sure that others play with them. When you go to them, and you put forth the effort, then they are more apt to reciprocate those actions. The Bottom Line, Have fun, play games.

No Meeting June16th
Happy Father's Day to all you Dad's out there!!
Back to Basics
IX

BOTTOM LINE! Have fun, play games, and network with other gamers that share the same interest. At the end of the day, it is after all just a game!
Think back to what made you join the community! What first attracted you to it. The people? The games? The community? Or all of the above? Remember why we are all here, to game! That's what we want from you. The community and the issues that arise are important but what is more important is making sure that each and every one of you are making time for yourself and the games!

Removal Requests
Please be clear on the reason a member is being removed from your user group when posting a removal request. 'They left, they were removed, they went inactive'. This makes things clear for the leaders completing the request, as well as clear to those who are investigating a GWG application.

Removing Members VS Finding Them a New Home
When thinking about removing a member from your clan, please make sure you are asking yourself these questions first. Would they be a better fit in a different clan? Would they be a better fit in a different division? Removing members entirely isn't always the answer.

Pool Tournament
Congratulations to KoG HAVEL XD on being the Pool Champion of the tournament, Also 2nd place went to XGC COOP XC!!!

Important Information:

No leader in XG is to be asking for personal contact info of other members. This includes phone numbers, home addresses, personal email addresses, or any other personal contact info. No one has to provide this information to be in a clan or in leadership. We have too many ways to communicate with our members, without having to gather personal information. Anyone found to be violating this policy will be demoted and possibly removed from the community.

Clan/Squad Lists:

Clan and squad list are to be re-posted by the first and fifteenth of each month. Please remember to go through the forums shortly thereafter and delete old posts to keep the forums clean and easier to navigate and read.

Professionalism:

Remember while being a member of Xiled Gaming you are expected to uphold a professional gaming demeanor at all times. There is no reason to be yelling at other members, messaging in all caps or trash talking other members in the community. We are all here for the same reason, to have a group of people that we enjoy gaming with every day. Remember the golden rule: treat others how you want to be treated.

Generals and Squad meetings:

Generals, it is your responsibility to communicate to your Captains that they need to run the Clan meeting if you are unable to, and it is also your responsibility to run a Captain's squad meeting if they are unable to hold it as well. If you cannot make the weekly mandatory Generals meeting you must inform your Captains so that one of them may take your place to receive the notes for the week.

Returning Members:

When anyone approaches you about returning from inactivity, or returning from leaving the community, you must research their story prior to adding them back into a clan usergroup. Check for the removal request to see what was stated, if there isn't a removal request please verify with a higher up on if the member needs to post a Grass Wasn't Greener application or not. Generals, please ensure that members who are still pending in the Grass Wasn't Greener are not being added to your clan list or usergroup until their application is approved.

Note for the non-leaders

Protect your personal contact information. No one from XG needs your phone number, address, etc., for you to be a member of other community. There are numerous ways to communicate with your clan without putting your information at risk.

Events:

The Events Team is looking for fun energetic people to join our Team. It is rewarding to host games for the Community as you meet so many people. Spread the word and if you know anyone that would like to see a game played through the Events Team or they might would love to join please hit up SYN CHELL XD or SYN Sobi XS.

Mission quote of the day:
"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more , You Are a Leader."
John Quincey Adams

Topics:

I. Honor Code Number #III

All Xiled Gaming members must register on the website within one week of their recruitment to remain in Xiled Gaming. As a registered member, you will have access to the Forums and Tournaments, the Kog/SYN/XGC Discord server, along with many other great sites. New members must read and accept the Honor Code and Rank Structure.

You as leaders should be walking through this with your recruits. Help them and be there if they have any questions. Walk around your clan forums and show them the usergroup as they can reach out to your members to game and have fun. Also share the Calendar and Tournaments so they can see what is happening in the Xiled Gaming Community. Remember Have fun!!!

II. If you build it, they will come.

Being a part of a clan is more than turning on your Xbox and repping the same clan tag as most of the people on your friends list. It’s about finding your fun! For leaders, it’s about making that easy for our members. When we think of quality, it’s not about numbers but about the activity level of each clan, big or small. Planning and attending game nights, clan or community. Jumping in and out of parties with your members, sending out invites to your members (even when they are playing different games), trying new games to play with other members, jumping in and out of other clans parties, utilizing clan chat on discord, etc. a little effort can go a long way when it comes to being active and keeping others active within the clan.

People want to go where the fun is, where the activity is, where they know they will always have someone to play with.

Be that member, be that clan.

III. Removal Request Details

When submitting a removal request, whether it be from Captains UG or from the community, please go into detail as to what took place leading up to the removal. Always be diligent in finding other opportunities elsewhere prior to removing them from the community entirely (this is situational). If you're unsure, hit up your XS.

IV. Meeting Notes:

If you have a Meeting Note idea that you have in mind, The XD's and higher would like to listen. There is a spot in the Xiled Gaming Meeting Notes page for the leaders to share what you have.

Mission quote of the day:
“Great leaders don’t set out to be a leader, they set out to make a difference. It’s never about the role, it’s always about the goal.” —Lisa Haisha

Topics:

I. Honor Code 1.
Xiled Gaming members (Kog, SYN, XGC) will display a professional gaming demeanor at all times. Any match an Xiled Gaming member participates in should observe the rules of Fair Play, Sportsmanship, and Respect. As an Xiled Gaming member, you not only represent yourself but Xiled Gaming as a whole.
SYN Members Only- If you aren't afraid of trash talk, the Underground is for you. Not for the faint of heart. Being “Underground” does not give you the right to abuse other gamers.

II. Rank Structure
Xiled Gaming has implemented a new Rank Structure as everyone knows. How is this going for your clans and your members? Has there been questions from the members about how things has changed? Have the changes resulted in the leadership and the clans having more time to game and have fun? Tonight we will be going over any questions and feedback of the Rank Structure that everyone might have.

III. Leadership Role

As new Section Leaders/Clan Leaders are moving up, make sure we are all working together as a Team to help them out. Be there to listen and help them as they are in a new role. Also for ALL Section Leaders/Clan Leaders, if you are becoming overwhelmed please let us know. We will work with you to help in anyway we can. Before leaving the role talk to your Division Leader. There is that Open Door Policy so utilize it.
All Section Leaders should be working with their peers at all times. If there is a problem let's work it out among each other. If you are having problems go to your XD and we can have a sit down with all involved. One thing that will help bring Section Leaders together is to have a game night at least once every 2 weeks or monthly.

IV. Discord
Discord is monitored by the Moderators. Violations of Discord rules, depending on number of violations, will earn an individual one of the following:

• Warning
• 24-hour Time Out
• Kick from Discord

Regardless of your rank. If you do not know the rules, please get with a member of your leadership.

XS AND CLAN LEADER'S MEETING
XILED GAMING
10/20/2024 @ 8 PM AND 9 PM EST

Mission quote of the day:

Topics:

I.
CLAN STRUCTURE

The goal of the CLAN STRUCTURE is to create smaller, stronger, and more personalized clans. A clan is a group of friends who sign online to play together. Think for a minute, when you turn on your console, who are you looking for first? The people you look for or text before you turn on your console are your clan members.

With so many games and the number of different platforms increasing, it is imperative our clan structure is executed efficiently in hopes of uniting like-minded gamers within an exciting gaming environment.

As the clan grows, members who display the desire and qualities of being in leadership should be considered for the role of Squad Leader. The Squad Leader role is not mandatory, but rather is utilized when the number of clan members is large enough and when a member, who is trained and willing to accept the position, is appointed by the Clan Leader.

There can be multiple squads within a clan. Squads are members who look to game with each other when they are on, a group playing the same game or game mode, or a group with common interests or goals. If a member of a squad switches games, they must be transferred to a different squad or clan to meet their gaming needs. No member left behind!!! Clan transfers will be approved by the generals and section leader(s).

All recruits must be introduced to their squad members and get to know them for the first seven days in the squad. Recruits must be put into squads with members who play similar games.

After the seven-day trial period, the clan’s members will collectively decide whether to offer membership to the prospective member.

All recruits must read the Honor Code before a clan invite is sent to them or a user group request is approved.

Comments/Questions/Concerns

II.
Fun and Game

As the Community is growing, you can't lose focus on yourself. If you see someone in a game be courteous and send a message if you need something answered. Don't just jump in and go full force as you never know if they are streaming or listening quietly for enemy or waiting for a call out, etc. You always wanna be respectful as you can be.

Comments/Questions/Concerns

lII.
XILED GAMING PROMOTION REQUIREMENTS

Note: Promotions are earned by excelling in your current role, recruiting, and actively attempting to better the clan/community. Holding your position for a long time period guarantees you nothing. Asking for a promotion will not get you promoted. If you’re interested in moving up, we encourage you to communicate that desire to your chain of command, but asking for/demanding a promotion outright will get you nowhere.

MEMBER

• Game with squad or clan members and recruits
• Stand out amongst their peers in community knowledge and activity
• Express interest in exploring their leadership opportunities

SQUAD LEADER

• Display sound decision-making when handling squad-related issues
• Grow squad to meet the clan split requirements
• Be recommended by Clan Leader and approved by upper leadership (XS & XDs)

Remaining leadership promotions will be determined based on the individual’s overall performance of Rank Structure responsibilities, approval of higher leadership, and the status of the division/community.

Comments/Questions/Concerns

IV.
Xiled Gaming Rank Structure

RECRUIT

A Recruit is a gamer who has been invited as a probationary member to Xiled Gaming (XG). The Recruit’s week-long probationary period provides the clan and the Recruit with purposeful feedback regarding the potential member and clan’s compatibility. After the Recruit’s probationary period expires, the clan’s members will collectively decide whether to offer membership to the prospective member. The Recruit’s probationary period may be extended by the Clan Leader at his/her discretion. Recruits who are not offered memberships, may re-engage with another XG clan.

XS AND CLAN LEADER'S MEETING
XILED GAMING
11/03/2024 @ 8 PM AND 9 PM EST

Mission quote of the day:
The key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority"
Proactivity and building leadership.
Proactivity is contagious when it’s modeled. Leading by example involves making proactive thinking and action visible in your role, illustrating how forward-thinking can translate into tangible benefits for the clan.

The more active you are with your members the more you will develop relationships and see who has qualities of a value leaders in your clan so you can start the process of placing them into leadership and teaching them the skills and techniques you learned yourself.

Every Question has an Answer!
As a Leader in the Community, you will be faced with many questions from recruits and above. Let's be prepared and if you don’t know it go and find it or come to anyone and ask the question. There is never a dumb question. Always remember we don’t answer questions with "because that’s how it’s always been", "that’s how “they” want it done" or "I don’t know just do it like that" etc... The Open Door Policy is always available if your not sure of this question. This means ALL of the XD's, XC's and XI's are more than happy to help.

Holidays
With Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year coming up, let's not lose focus on your clan's. This is the time to keep activity going strong. New games coming out really helps and will bring in new recruits. Communication is very important during this time as many people will be traveling and spending time with their family. Only 3 more meetings of the year after this one so let's make it all count!

XS AND CLAN LEADER'S MEETING
XILED GAMING
11/17/2024 @ 8 PM AND 9 PM EST

Mission quote of the day:
The time to fix the roof is when the sun is shining. JFK
Positive Structure

With the new changes that has been in place, we would like to say Thank You to everyone for going through this change with Xiled Gaming. Xiled Gaming has grown into a better Community with more personal clans that makes our members happy. Keep up the great work everyone.

Communication is key

If you feel that your clan or section is taking a downward slide or you are feeling that you are overwhelmed and don't know what to do, reach out to your peers or Division Leader. It's easier to fix a problem early then to fix a problem beyond repair. Reaching out for help isn't a sign of weakness but shows that you actually care about your clan or clans.

Splitting Big Clans

The more members you have in a clan, the more members that get left behind. You may think well there in the party with us every night. This is a good thing however engaging with your members is not just a conversation, it's gaming with them. No matter what these big clans they are no way your getting this done with all members. Get them ready to split out into there own small engaging more manageable clans.
Don't hold your members back. If you have someone that wants to be a great leader and has everything it takes we don't hold them back to meet there goals. Get them in a squad together with some of there guys he or she plays with and let them flourish. Keeping each squad small and more manageable. Looking at your clan to be built for the future.

Developing Leadership

We understand wanting to promote someone that already knows the rank that you are promoting for, but you need to ask yourself why are they no longer in leadership? Look at your section/clan, who all do you have in your section/clan that would be a good fit for leadership. Just because someone knows the rank does not mean that they are the best fit for that rank that needs to be filled. Also we don’t just promote someone with experience so that we don’t have to train them. Doing a promotion isn’t about the easiest way to go about things, find who is the best fit and work with them. We want to give other members the opportunities to move up, not just the same ones going up and down in rank.
For example: You have a someone that has been a past leader that wants to move up in ranks again, let's develop them in the right direction to fix their past failures.

Name Changes

Section Leaders: Please make sure that you are being vigilant with name changes. Remember we do not approve name changes that are vulgar in any way. They should not reference curse words or be sexual in any way. Also make sure that you are doing the proper research to make sure that the name is available. If you are unsure about a name please reach out to your peers or your Division Leader for assistance.
.
Clan Leaders: Please take time and talk to your members about the proper way to do a name change. Once they reach the rank of member they earn the privilege of adding the XG tags to their gamer tags. If they want to add an XG tag to their gamer tag, they need to submit three names to their leadership and they will then submit it to the Section Leader for approval. Please make sure that the gamer tags do not exceed the limit for the console that they are on. (Xbox 12 characters, PlayStation 16 characters, PC 12 characters) Remember that the XG tag automatically takes up 4 characters in the name.

The Holidays are upon us!

The holidays are quickly approaching! During this time remember to take time for yourself with your family and friends and anticipate that your members will be doing the same. Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks will be happening for a lot of people which means it could be a spike in inactivity from some members or a spike in activity for others. Let's take advantage of this time when you are online and available by creating game nights, challenges for your clans and squads, etc.

XS AND CLAN LEADER'S MEETING
XILED GAMING
12/1/2024 @ 8 PM AND 9 PM EST

“Leadership is a way of thinking, a way of acting, and most importantly, a way of communicating.”
Clan Battles
Clan battles are encouraged throughout the Community. Clan Leaders or Event Coordinator's for the Clan are able to set these battle's up at anytime, Remember to have respect and have fun. This is what Xiled Gaming is all about!!

Who you can game with

No one in Xiled Gaming can tell any member who they can or cannot game with, no exceptions. This goes for other gamers within the community and outside of the community. If someone in a leadership tells you who you can or cannot game with, utilize the Open-Door Policy to bring the matter to higher leaderships attention.
The whole purpose of XG is to provide a place to meet other gamers.

Discord Communication
Other than the Xbox, it’s safe to say that Discord has become a primary way of communicating. We have access to it through our Xbox, through our computers, and more importantly, through our phones. Discord is a great way to communicate reminders for meetings, game nights, direct clan and leadership interaction, as well as a great LFG tool to anyone in the community.

Please take the time to make sure your members are added to the discord, assigned the appropriate roles, removing those who no longer belong there, etc.

We would like to see this amazing tool utilized more and want to see all of our members, including us leaders gaming advantage of it!

Website Banners
Clan Banners & Leader Banners are an essential part of giving your Clan and yourself (the leader) an identity on the website. When a new clan is made, a new XS or higher is promoted, you get a default banner. It’s lame, and it’s ugly. So let’s fix that!

Clan Leaders, you get to pick how you want your banner to look! Don’t know where to start? Try utilizing the Discord polls to get ideas from your members! Once you have that idea, if you’re savvy in graphic design, you can create your own!

The Design Team is always a great option as well. Whether you have an idea or want to leave the creativity in theirs hands, that’s up to you! Remember, if you do create your own, the guidelines listed in the design team forums must be followed.

XS AND CLAN LEADER'S MEETING
XILED GAMING
12/15/2024 @ 8 PM AND 9 PM EST

A little more sparkle, a little less stress, this Holiday season Xiled Gaming wishes you the Best!!
Clan Event Coordinator:
If not done so by the Clan Leaders, remember to submit ticket in for your Clan Event Coordinator in the help desk. If your Clan does not have an event Coordinator then the Squad Leader should be appointed to that spot and if you don't have a Squad Leader then it will be the Clan Leader. Please make sure all Event Coordinators for each clan are on the main Xiled discord.
If their discord name is different from there gamertag please have them send a message to
SYN Chell XD
XGC Mini Me XD
So we know who to give this role too.

The reasoning for all of this is due to the Events coordinators now have there own thread on the Xiled Gaming. This is where they can go and share idea's,what's working vs what's not working,clan battles etc.. It's a place they can chat and chill.

Thank you for your cooperation

Accepting Usergroup Requests vs GWG
When users are still pending in the GWG, they are not members, DO NOT accept their user group requests. Once a someone has been approved to come back, they will be told to hit someone up for placement, unless they've gone inactive. That leader will then hit up the Section Leader to be placed in the clan.

End of Year Activity:
Being this is the last meeting of the year, this is a good time to make sure all Clan/Squad list match with usergroups. Make sure Discord is cleaned up in all Clans.
If anyone is in the Usergroups and not on the List, you need see if that is a member that has gone inactive and be removed as inactive.

Holiday Reminder:
Being a busy time of year remember not everyone is going to be active like usual. Please consider this as members and leaders are traveling to be with families. Also with Christmas around the corner this could boost the recruiting process due to Santa bringing a lot of new games so encourage your members they can recruit like minded gamers as they are on through out the Holiday's.

Pool Tournament:
Xiled Gaming would like to Congratulate FaZeAims9092 from SYN Havoc on being the 1st place winner and to KoG Leftie in coming in 2nd. Third place is still to be determined.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
All of us at Xiled Gaming wishes everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
or whatever you believe in...
May your Hearts be filled and your Families be blessed!
