Does the one clan rule suck?

[sangfroid]

All of the 'serious' gaming clans are closed anyway, so isn't this question fairly moot???

[The1exile]

if you dont like the rule then join one of the clans that doesnt have it.

No, join several of the ones that don't have it.

[The1exile]

Also, I voted yes, as I'm in CWC, RS and PC at the same time with no divided loyalty problems.

So what do you do if one of your clans challenges the other?

what are you talking about? i was getting invites every day from all the clans, and it has now evolved into a bidding war with the top offer being a 3 year paid premium account if i join a certain clan and bring all my "owen-ness super funk" to their roster. maybe all the good clans are closed to you, but not to me!-0

[David_Wain]

I voted no... I think being dedicated to a clan is another... all these smaller groups like the spelling nazi's etc are fine to be in several.. but as for clans go I think its important to just be with 1.

Either abstain from playing, or pick the side of my preferred clan (either because I like them more, or because of the game type required).

And you don't think that's divided loyalties? Either you can't represent your clan in a challenge, or you're saying that you like one clan more than the others. No offence but I would have thought any self-respecting clan would kick out someone who had them as their number 2 choice.

[The1exile]

I didn't say I didn't have divided loyalties, I said I had no problems with it (yet, at least).

Honestly, the so-called self respecting clans won't have me as a member, and I don't really care too much - I get to play more clan challenges (since chances are they won't conflict), play with a more diverse spread of good players, and have a wider range of interesting conversations.

[Iliad]

I believe in loyalty

and in how many clans are you in sound?

Ok fair enough, if it works for you and your clan then alls well and good

i`m in 2 of exiles clans/firms, if we fight for The Pleasant Chaps alls good, if we fight for the CWC that`s fine too. if 1 clan is against the other so be it will depend on what game i`m in. not really arsed about anyone else winning as long as i win my game.



to rebelman,Gladiators of Sport are more or less dead for the second time. i`ve been in them since the start, a founder member, but alas it has died again.

[Jehan]

um, isn't most of the clan loyalties points moot, since we don't have a clan ranking system yet?

[pimphawks70]

NO! you need to stay loyal to your clan man!

[muy_thaiguy]

Hey, Rebelman, no one has seen Greecepwns in quite awhile, and I have no idea what is going on with him, as he is the leader of the Anime Disscussion Group. But I seriously doubt we will be a competitive group.

As for the Pikachu Clan, we are currently deciding on it. Though at the moment, we are more of a disscusion group. For Spamalot, you'll need to see hecter about that one, though we are currently deciding it.

[Fircoal]

yes, the one clan rule does suck. A LOT! A clan shouldn't prevent their members from joining other clans. I won't care if they choose to fight for another clan in a clan war.

[Iliad]

I personally think it's stupid. To fight for only one clan I can understand but to have to leave other clans I don't
