I'm not here to deem myself as a philosopher, nor am I here to exchange my bitterness over certain groups of the sword-fighting community. I am here, to publicly give an outcome to the solution of the decline of the sword-fighting community. I lead my own clan, which is a hybrid of both swords and guns. I speak of a bystander's point of view, for I never took part in any of the main sword-fighting clans of the community. I will do my part, of "cutting right to the chase".
I, along with fellow leaders of other sword-fighting clans, have come to the conclusion of why the community is dying, and how we can fix it. The reason why the community is dying, is because it rotates around one main source. This is quite obvious, as many of the elite sword-fighting members are in many of the main sword-fighting groups. It basically becomes a "Recycling" effect. Though, it is normal, the one at the sword-fighting community is in a bit of a "jam". The reason why, is because some clans want to be the "Supervisors" of the sword-fighting community. Though, this idea may seem grand, it is what it seems. The "supervisors" of the sword-fighting community, basically employ a type of bias overviews. Fellow leaders will become friends, and one of the leaders will war a smaller and newer sword-fighting clan, then after the smaller clans deems to win a raid or defense, a lot of drama will occur due to the support being given by fellow "Supervisor" leaders. This has happened on many occasions, one of which happened on my clan as well.
The solution to this problem, is quite simple. We don't need to get rid of the generic "Meadows". It is like "Bricktops" for RCLers. It's an essential facility, to enhance your sword-fighting skills. We do not need to get rid of any generic traits. What we need, is to let loose the clans. We cannot mourn over losses of certain clans. Let sword-fighting clans be. The sword-fighting clans can realize this themselves. The only reason why they haven't yet, is because everyone is mourning over how the sword-fighting community is dying. Just let the sword-fighting clans be. We do not need to scold on them, for being generic. Indeed, there are a lot of generic sword-fighting clans. Though, let them be themselves. If we do such, then the community will level back up.
Though, I was frustrated of the sword-fighting community meeting, I do apologize for my outbursts earlier. I mean no quarrel nor bitter hatred. I just speak the voice, of a humble bystander, who wants to express his views on how to fix the sword-fighting community.

So leaving it the way right now will fix it.
"Fellow leaders will become friends, and one of the leaders will war a smaller and newer sword-fighting clan, then after the smaller clans deems to win a raid or defense, a lot of drama will occur due to the support being given by fellow "Supervisor" leaders"
that part somewhat makes sense, though.
Just a opinion.

Very good point. I agree totally. |

I do agree that more powerful clans picking on smaller ones is one reason our community has died.
All of us did it
However us all being the SAME EXACT THING< is another reason.
I didn't mean to completely drop meadows, it is like the bricktops of swords.
However we need to expand beyond doing the SAME THINGS OVER AND OVER if we want to expand as a whole

| With the meadows thing, we didn't mean to drop meadows completely. Meadows is basically the main source of training for 95% of sword clans now, just throwing in people to fight in a box, tryharding to get a good kdr/to last until the end. We need to start mixing it up, like the old days- bringing back some facilities+training courses, etc. |

re-reading it makes me re-think about that
my bad, but spamming meadows is a problem, change it up a bit, you don't need to cancel out meadows just have some different facilitys. |

At least RCL has the following
-Several maps (Bricktops being the primary, but also Pitgrounds, Narrowgill, etc) -A universal hub (Battlegrounds by BenBonez) -A universal teamspeak
Swordfighters should make those

Usually don't want to post on these forums, but, just a quick post.
"-Several maps (Bricktops being the primary, but also Pitgrounds, Narrowgill, etc) -A universal hub (Battlegrounds by BenBonez) -A universal teamspeak"
-A lot of clans have several maps, just revolve around meadows, but I get what you mean. -Auto Duels, Classicfailz isn't popular anymore. -I don't really see the need for that, but whatever. ;p |

Lol, that's not a problem.
The problem is the community is garbage, useless, and biased.
Fixing the SCC is like attempting to fix your tiolet after you ate Taco Bell, White Castle, and mixed in liquid latex brownies.
No matter how much crap you remove, you'll just end up replacing it with something worse, and more foul.

Sounds like the entire clan community to me. Not just specific to the SCC. Though, it's not even as bad as you say it is. You're generalizing the entire population and not accounting for those who are, basically, not C&G.
Your statement sounds pretty biased to me... |

| Good thoughts but the community as a whole won't move foward. The community will probably stay the same since what most people propose involves a lot of people to work. Some might add in new things to make things interesting but most aren't really willingly or lazy to do so. |

| This is a broken community that can't be fixed. Too many immature kids who get mad everytime someting does wrong. To many leaders, member count is more important than skill or training and hence they end up recruiting more than training and boosting their members skill levels. Many people get put in high rank positions because they're friends with the leader, and the corruption goes on and on. |

| Arc, you're generalizing dude. Some clans do that, others dont. It doesnt mean that its going to cause the end of clans as we know it. |
