Celtic Heroes

For a start, Avalon votes their clan members in. What I don't understand is how any other clan has failed to adopt something exactly like this: no exceptions, no invitations, even if you whisper the chief or generals asking to be invited. You must apply, and you must get enough positive votes.

The last statement is inaccurate. It's not a majority vote, our voting process is much more restrictive than that. If anyone gets enough "negative" votes, they may not even make it, no matter how much support they have from other members. How much is enough? It varies I suppose, and depends on the degree of the against vote. 3 or more negative votes are already a huge red flag for me, but some can be trivial and can be dismissed, but even 1 huge negative vote can be a deciding factor.

Joining Avalon is a commitment to help the clan and its members. If any seed of resentment exists, then it just won't work and will simply grow into something bigger and thus clan drama ensues. There have been many applicants declined simply because one or two members are adamant they won't help them at any cost. Ofttimes when this happens, I try to find resolutions to these conflict and try to mediate and see if peace can be made by understanding the cause or source of the issues. We have had quite a few members declined before that are now valuable and contributing members of the clan, all it takes is some awakening and understanding to figure out what we are really playing for.

But then there are the hopeless cases, when one would get a 0-25 or 1-20 vote, and that I don't even bother to see if it can be fixed.

Furthermore, if you have ever watched Ava take a boss, it is very apparent that they work in flawless synchronization without ever seeing what commands and chat that take place within their group/clan. This is what happens when you have a dedicated group who are all on the same page and have put their clan first beyond personal feelings.
