Well this has undoubtedly been done before, but I just felt like checking out the N-A community's thoughts on what clan actually do for the game. I will reserve my comments so as to keep things fair, but I want to know what clans are to you, why you are in one or would like to join one, and if they truly bring a new level of involvement to the game? Thank you

To me,its about enjoying your self at na and meeting friends,not "Train to be number one on the ladder,young grasshopper" stuff,or a sense of brother hood,what ever makes you happy and enjoy yourself is the most important when it comes down to it.

Well now this is some constructive comment rem.
For me, a clan is a way to improve your gamming skills, where you can make friends that share an interest with you.
Of course this will only work if we are talking about a GOOD clan, a serious one.. not one that a noob just founded because he was bored. This kind of clan end up being useless and only stains the reputation of a player.

i was in one till i realized the same thing, there really is no point to one, unless you enjoy being told when you have to fight and who you fight even when you dont feel like fighting.
but you do get help from other members when you need it so that's a plus side to it but other than that it's pretty much pointless cause you could just ask friends for help or if not, people on N-B are willing to help most of the time so i dont see a point to being in one

Well having a clan has lots of purpose but for me its actually to meet new friends, have fun w/ the game (by joining wars..etc)... and to have someone to talk too whi8le playing..lol

that is definately NOT the point of a clan. Personally i think its just a fun environment where you can get to know people and laugh and maybe play a game or two if you want to.

Yeah, it's been done before.

Your clan leader made a pretty good long explaination here.

My own variation of this kind of thread was when I asked why people join clans. The answer I got was varied but the essense in thier responses was that they believe it increases the fun of the game.
For me, this makes no sense. If I was clanless, I would not see any reason to seek out a clan, and all the obvious perks of a clan can be had while still remaining clanless.

However, I find a personal satifaction from the bond I have formed with my misfit group of clanmates. They are people I enjoy talking with, playing the game with, strategizing with, and even just knowing they're on my team in whatever game-related thing we do. It's a feeling I would never be able to explain to someone who hasn't experienced it, but it's something that makes me feel grateful to have the clan I am a part of.

Last time I was in a clan...
I suppose it was for the community and the fact that we all took the clan-thing lightly and not a over-serious, hardcore group. Simply just people who wanted to lightly play NA.

In fact, the last time I was in a clan,
You were in it too, Rem.

My thoughts would be that a clan is mainly just a group of friends online. It just a medium in order to form new bonds with others. It has NOTHING to do with "To be the best in N-A"

But what I just said would be repeated by most vets around X_X

Well what neutr0n said is right.

But then the next question comes up. Why do we ask for ratios and streaks then. we say we need friends but at the same time we are looking for friends with the same ammount of skill. But why couldn't someone with a bad ratio be a good friend?

Its all quite experimental, hopefully when I have enough good ones I can collect them in a bumper "Best Of" pack and get it properly published
