Clans are here!

[Badorties]

The Clans feature of MajCom has largely been behind the scenes and only available to staff. Well no more. We are opening it up to strategists and commanders. We don't have any huge plans for clans just yet, but we just want to see what happens when they are public and open. Is there enough demand for a formal clan league? We will see.

So what is a clan?

At the basic level, a clan is a group of players who are identified together. They may be veterans, people from Ohio, real time players, or just a group of guys and gals who want to dominate other players and clans.

Clans will get their own clan page and also their own private clan forum where only clan members can see and post.

There is two types of clans. Social and Competitive. If you are just looking for likeminded compatriots to hangout and play with, a social clan is for you. If you are looking to be 'on a team' and compete, then you want a competitive clan.

You can be in multiple social clans at the same time, but only one competitive clan at the same time. Where do competetive clans compete? I'm not sure yet! This, like any new feature is a test. If a bunch of competitive clans form, then we can set up some sort of league.

Consider this a clan beta.

There may be bugs or issues with the clans as they have not been extensively tested. Please let us know of any issues at first. You can also let us know of feature requests, but they may not be a priority.

Starting a clan... requirements.

To start a social or competetive clan you will need the following:

• Commander class. (Strategist can join, but not start clans)
• Four members minimum to start. These members must have agreed to join prior to application.
• A clan name, insignia and banner (details in the link below)
• If you can pull those together, click this link to get started. All clans must be approved by the Clan Director... which for now is me, Badorties. If you have any questions, just ask thread.

To see the current clans, just click this tab!

Thanks!

one question: there are 2 old 'competitive' clans, since they are inactive, are they going to be disbanded? I'd be in favor of that.

or make it possible to leave the old clans, they have too many inactive people to be useful.

i like it!

finally , should there be a limit of players, at least for the competitive clans :? I guess that there should be, cause I guess that by the time it will hard to accept more join request to a single clan, that also will be complicated, in a clan let say that it start with 2 players taht deicide who to invite, and those invited will have another list of friendly players to invite, it will never end, we will be all in the same clan lol

There is no hard limit. Im pretty sure a competitive clan will want to be selective about who they let in.

Those clans have been liquidated, as it was an experiment thats run its course.

I love this. I hope people get busy and make some clans!

 

[daangeennaam]

Still haven't had an invite for a Clan! How strange...

 

[Biosphere]

Very cool update!

 

[Badorties]

Yeah a dutch social clan would me cool.

 

[stone123]

So no limit on numbers then? Hmmm i predict one huge powerfull clan

 

[Cardinalsrule]

well, possibly. But I've already started planning for a competitive clan, which I want to limit to 10 players, at least to start. The people I messaged are all on the top 200 on the scoreboard, but they aren't the top 10 by any means. They are the players I like playing with, that I know are good players, and that I know I can count on. For example, I don't know you that well, Stone, so to start I didn't invite you. No offense, because its obvious that you're a great player, but I started with my 'friends'. My point is, there are still enough great players left out there to make several clans, and hopefully that will happen, and we can get some 'league'-type action going.

Maybe you should message some people and get one going???

 

[masterjskye]

I have a feeling it is happening already...

I think Clan leaders should seriously consider self-limiting their numbers, like Cards said, to 10 or less to begin with. We need some diversity in order for the Clan Wars to begin.

 

[Badorties]

Im thinking I should make a clans sub forum... for recruitment...

 

[Badorties]

Approved the first social clan.... league of shadows!

Yes, the COMPETITIVE clans should limit themselves. I see no reason for the social clans to do that.

 

[masterjskye]

True. Btw League of Shadows is meant to be in the Competitive section... must've been a mix up with the paperwork.

 

[Cardinalsrule]

nice group of players you have there, jskye. Look forward to some good battles.......

 

[masterjskye]

and so the lines of battle are drawn

Clans are fun!
