1. What does the member percent (%) mean?
The "Member Percent (%)" shows how many of the total users on Exhibited are in a particular club. For example; Exhibited currently has 25,782 members. 24.83% of those 25,782 members are part of the Quill club; therefore Quill has approximately 6401 members (Apr. 14th/2013).


2. What are "Club Funds"?
Club funds is the money that the club accumulates through donations and club battles. It is used to help club members, and to promote interest and activity within the club.


3. Why should I donate to the "Club Funds"?
Donations help members who can't afford to enter their dinosaurs into club battles so that the club can earn enough points to win that month's club bracelet. They should also be used by the club leader to promote activity within the club by creating contests, games, and giveaways (etc..) for club members to enjoy.


4. How do I contribute to "Club Funds"?
You can contribute to your club's funds by going to your club's front page, entering an amount in the box under "Donate", and clicking the "Donate!" button. The money you pay to enter each of your dinosaurs into club battles is also accumulated into the total club funds.


5. What is the purpose of the "Club Contributor"?
The purpose of your club contributor is to add to your club's total points so that they can win a club bracelet at the end of the month. A club can only win a club bracelet every other month because if a club wins one month, September for example, they are not eligible to win the following month (October).


6. Why do my dinosaurs keep being chosen as the "Club Contributor"?
Every member of your club has a different one of their adult dinosaurs chosen, at random, to be their club contributor for the day. What you are seeing is which one of your dinosaurs has been added to that day's group of contributing club dinosaurs. For instance, say you have a dinosaur named Jane and you see that she is your Club Contributor for the day; however on your fellow club member's screen, instead of your dinosaur, they would see that one of their dinosaurs is the Club Contributor. This applies to all the club members in your club.


7. Why does my "Club Contributor" stay the same?
Your club contributor should change daily; however, if you only have one adult dinosaur (aged 10 and older) then you would only have one dinosaur old enough to contribute. Wait until your other dinosaurs turn 10 to see if this resolves the issue, and if it doesn't - try checking the bug board on the forums to see if anyone else is having a similar problem before you submit a report.


8. How do I battle my dinosaurs against other clubs?
You can battle your dinosaurs against other clubs by going to your club's main page and scrolling down to where it says "Club vs Club Battles". Next you pick each dinosaur you want to battle from the first dropdown menu and then click the "Fight!" button. Each entry costs a fee of $250, so make sure you have enough money on-hand to cover all of your dinosaurs or you will have to try again when you do.

Once you have entered a dinosaur into the club battle "registrar", their name will appear in the second dropdown box. Simply select which dinosaur you want to battle, and then click "Fight other clubs!" to find opponents. If more than one opponent is available when you do this, remember that you can only select one to fight. If there are no opponents available when you click the button, then you will have to wait for others clubs to "register" their own dinosaurs before you can battle them.

9. How many dinosaurs can I battle a day?
You can battle as many dinosaurs as you want or can afford every day. However, only your club contributor dinosaur will affect the club's points total.


10. Why do my dinosaurs lose every club battle?
Club battles appear to be random, and so you might just be having a bad day (or week or month). However it doesn't hurt to make sure you are training your dinosaurs once daily, feeding them the best stat boosting food you can afford, and making sure they are at 100% health. Concentrating on boosting strength and speed appears to be a good place to start if you want to focus on battling vs trialing or hunting.


11. What do the Club Bracelets do?
Club bracelets are equippable items that give a boost to one stat:

Claw Club Bracelet: +25 INT
Feather Club Bracelet: +25 SPD
Tooth Club Bracelet: +12 STR
Quill Club Bracelet: +25 STR


12. How do I campaign for club leader?
To campaign for club leader you must first check that you are an upgraded member. If you are not an upgraded member, you can become one by going here. Before you click "Purchase!", you can use the dropdown box to select many different short or long-term upgrade options, such as one year, three years, and forever upgrades. And if you don't have enough scales to upgrade your account, you can buy some by clicking on the "Buy scales page" link under the pile of blue scales.

Once you've purchased your scales and upgraded your account, go to your club's front page and type a message/campaign platform or slogan into the campaign box. Once you are done with that, simply click enter and hope for votes. The person with the most votes at the end of the month will become next month's club leader.


13. Can I be club leader two (or more) months in a row?
Yes, you absolutely can! In fact, Chase was Quill's club leader for both December 2012 and January 2013. And as far as I know, you can continue to be club leader for however long you like - as long as you have the votes. :)


14. What happens if no one runs for club leader?
I wasn't sure of this one, but luckily our friend, Eltafez (#77), has experienced this personally. It turns out, in February, they were Claw's club leader and --since no one campaigned that month-- they were renewed as the club leader for the month of March as well. So I think it is safe to assume that if no one campaigns for leader, then the previous month's leader will be re-elected.
