begin helping by diversifying power for the less influential clans
In C&G you always see the same 7-8 clans being constantly repeated and brought up, therefore further implanting them into people's heads, and thus making everyone flock to them because of their reputation
this consolidates power into a handful of clans, which does several of the following: - very little major war activity b/c the most powerful clans, having already warred the other big clans and understanding that it's futile (i.e. constant ties, draws, drama and predictable outcomes), then proceed to war smaller and less powerful clans that don't share the same notoriety and attraction and stomp on them - just makes clans boring
I applaud the smaller, less fortunate clans that have worked very well and brought themselves into the spotlight w/o necessarily ¨hype¨ and made themselves relevant (i.e. A-SOV)
by diversifying power I mean cutting down at the big guns (you know which clans they are) because they already have substantial strength, and focus on smaller, less fortunate clans
wouldn't it be more reasonable for someone introduced to the main clan world, instead of being pulled into the top 5 clans, be able to choose between, say, 20 different clans, each with their own perks and shortcomings?
I sense all the cynics closing in on me to carp at me, but this was all worth it if it made people think a little differently; I know I bring this up a lot, but this really needs to get through people's heads.
TL;DR it's stupid and boring if the clan world essentially revolved around the same 10 clans |

also it is simple human nature to want to be the best/ known to be with the best
vak is only famous because it is known for being one of the best
why would anyone join a bad clan except for free vip (rat) |

imitater I'm not talking about flocking all your resources to said ¨trash clans¨, I'm talking about diversifying (keyword) said power so that it's a little more balanced
it's never going to be perfect and I understand that, but it can't be so polarized as it is now
another point I missed was since everyone enjoys declining wars, this makes it less frequent because there wouldn't be the same 3 clans looking to war the same top group |

the only thing we could possibly do now is try to stop squeezing all the juice out of the rotten orange of clans by making trash clan leaders less arrogant
etc you do not war TGI or VAK or WIJ or FC or VOID after 3 days of creation |

my preferred method is getting more... competent people to climb the ranks of said trash clans
Because face it, the more competent won't be able to handle a lot of the poor conduct of said trash clans and thus will flock to the larger clans, and so what are the trash clans left with? nothing to progress
you can be pessimistic all you want, I don't really want to stand for what's going on right now, because imitater I understand you just fine, and that's the original attitude I have, but this is better than becoming a cynic and laissez faire-ing the world |

i'll be perfectly honest and i know many people are going to disagree but i don't mind vip clans, because using vip is just another means of recruitment as is running ads or manually recruiting people
vip clans simply have a poor connotation to them because of poor role models such as TD (didn't actually give VIP, took advantage of members and cheated them), and let's face it TD generally wasn't a good clan
vip clans should use their vip marketing as a means to have them join the clan, and then it's up to the leaders to persuade the members not to join merely for the benefits but also for the clan itself |

Most clans outside of the 8 - 9 main power clans are weak and stupid because their leader is incapable.
Or like myself, get attacked at every corner for innovating.
Do I really care about being constantly denounced? No. A clan is about it's strength, not it's popularity. We can function with 19 members very well. VOID has proven that.

@harb
You're misinterpreting this. This is a call for the more competent and capable potential leaders and clanspeople to support those outside clans, and through this said capable people are able to climb the ranks quickly and eventually acquire a leadership position |

thing is it's really difficult to start your clan from the bottom up, only a few modern clans have managed to accomplish that on their own successfully (i.e. TCC), so it's generally easier to join a less powerful clan (but there are some clans that have already dropped too far down anyway)
and i'm just trying to make it more public |

Mhm. I'm starting a clan, but as you said, it's hard to gain recognition.

But these outside clans tend to have bad names too.
Clans like Tenebrosity are sitting in the middle of relevant and irrelevant, and it's difficult to get towards the relevant side.
I agree, we need more clans in this clan roster to succeed, but our community has a tough time saying which one to go for.
