Hello once again and welcome to another edition of the Paint Factor.
Today I will be discussing what makes a Medieval clan a Medieval clan. First let us look at the definition of the word medieval, shall we?
The Merriam Webster Dictionary defines it as:
me·di·e·val adjective \ˌmē-ˈdē-vəl, mi-, ˌme-, -dē-ˈē-vəl\ : of or relating to the Middle Ages : of or relating to the period of European history from about A.D. 500 to about 1500
The Oxford American Dictionary defines it as:
medieval Syllabification: me·di·e·val Pronunciation: /ˌmed(ē)ˈēvəl, ˌmēd-, ˌmid- / (also mediaeval) ADJECTIVE
Of or relating to the Middle Ages: a medieval castle
So what exactly is the point I'm trying to make? The term medieval is being overused in Clans all over ROBLOX. Medieval is a historical term, not a fanatical one. Too many times have I seen or encountered clans that trace their origins from...Ahem...Dragons, Elves, Magic Goblins, Orcs, etc. They are quite honestly abusing the term Medieval.
Examples of a real Medieval clan would be something like, Ibelin, Order of the Hopsitallers, The Kingdom of Jerusalem, The Sultanate of Seljuk, Order of the Templars, anything that pertains to History and has to do with real medieval factions. I honestly don't think elf conjuring lava spitting magic dragons were a faction during the Medieval period.
What exactly do I think should be done about this? It's quite obvious that no false Medieval clan is going to willingly change their title to "Fantasy", therefore I have a suggestion for ROBLOX. I believe a new tab should be added to the categories called Fantasy. Even the ROBLOX endorsed clans are not considered Medieval. You can check the forum right now it's at the top of the C&G forum.
Knight's of Red Cliff is considered Fantasy.
Korblox's Empire is considered Fantasy.
Many other clans that would otherwise call themselves Medieval that are endorsed by Roblox are in capital letters: "FANTASY". Being a legitimate Medieval Clan Owner I am quite tired of being grouped together with the warlocks and wizards that claim to be a counterpart of a realistic clan.
That is my complaint and that is my suggestion to ROBLOX but I highly doubt it will even be a consideration in their mind. I simply hope to enlighten some people as to what Medieval is because I've actually some people that thought the Knight's Templar was something created by Assassins Creed, such ignorance in the world today.
Also, if you own a fake Medieval clan and are offended or disagree with what I have said I honestly don't care. I dare you to challenge me with your pitiful clan because I can assure you I'll send it to an early grave.

| Clans can be made up and yet be Medieval. It has to have the theme, but if there's any trace of dragons it's automatically Fantasy |

They didn't originate from a video game, you ignorant degenerate.
Any l33t pro C&Ger with over 4k posts knows that the Templars originated from a movie, National Treasure to be exact. |

| My god...You people are just...I give up on humanity. I mean I was honestly expecting you to say the crusades but you say "National Treasure". Are you kidding me? |

Templars began right after the 1st Crusade, year 1119 AD or so, and was started by a French noble. Those who think otherwise are Degenerate neckbeards. |

The only way a physical representation of this thread would be if two trains crashed head-on at 200 miles per hour, and every news chopper covering the crash simultaneously dive-bombed onto any survivors.
And then an earthquake would have to rupture the ground and gas lines under it, starting a wildfire.
That burned down the neared train depot.

| Oh, another Vaktovian that has nothing better to do than post on forums all day. VAK has turned into an utter disappointment. You patrol forums more often than your own forts. |
