The title isn't entirely accurate. Allow me to elaborate on it:
--
Hey, Platinum here.

Today, me & Astrosites (you may know him as Marco on the forums) discussed a potential system which could potentially unite all of the lore heavy, roleplay-supporting clans into a specific community - branching off the norm of being shoved in with the category of no-context terminal based gun clans.

To elaborate on the differentiation of the two aforementioned types of groups, here's a hypothetical situation which will hopefully let you know what kind of groups we want to bring into this community.

Group A has an established (or ongoing) story of their group, with extracurricular activities that keep the group exciting & competitive for their members. This system can be sustained WITHOUT involvement from another group, though group A often raids other groups. I'll refer to these types of groups as "community clans".

Group B has a basic terminal base, a paragraph of random lore which is not related to the places in anyway (or if so, the involvement is minimal). All group B does is practice RCL matches, and raid other groups. I'll refer to these types of groups as "no-context gun clans".

What we'd be looking for, if it wasn't obvious already, are groups such as group A.

Why, you may ask?

I often hear the assertion that the "Clan world/clans are dying". Truth be told, when you say this, you're not wrong to think that MOST clans are dying. However, you've got to the think of the one's that aren't dying - i.e. Edeltia, VAK, The Robine, Areniran Sovereignty, etc. You can't ignore their existence entirely. Why are they succeeding? Is it because of their raiding force and strength? No. Is it because of their Discord communication server? Partially, though this of course will not carry a clan to popularity. Is it because of their technology? Once again, that's only part of the reason. If it's fun and has a variety of play-styles, people are bound to enjoy it and stay in the group - but if it just has a generic SMG, a terminal base, and a rally/training RCL area, it's not going to succeed as much.

Add a roleplay element, a -setting- (interchangeable term with a "story"), and activities (such as group houses, which was wonderfully executed by the Concord of Exiles in the past), and you're guaranteed a lot of community involvement in the group - which matters more than any raid or war you could pull off in securing activity.

Now, going back to what I initially stated - me and Astrosites plan on creating a community consisting of community clans. Groups like group A. Groups that aren't just no-context gun clans, where you simply raid other groups with basics SMGs all the time and do barely anything varied outside of it. Let me clarify - this community will NOT be an alliance. It'll simply be a gateway for community clans to challenge other groups with a similar level of dedication towards their group, lore-wise and activity-wise (and most likely, technology-wise. We don't mean something insane akin to ARKE-like technology, just something fun and varied. The Sovereign Unity, WIJ and V O I D's gun systems are good examples of this).

Though we haven't proposed to the groups yet, and this idea is still in the making, here's an example of groups that we're looking to bring into this (and quite frankly, these will also serve as good examples as to what we're looking for:

Arenirian Sovereignty
The Sovereign Unity
Alasyr
Concord of Exiles

The groups that are currently confirmed to be participating in this community are Iron Force, and of course, Reign of Lightning.

If you believe that your group is what we're searching for, and you'd like to be involved in this potential community, PM me or speak to Astrosites. We'd love to have you on board.

Thanks for your time.

tl;dr - Read it if you want more clarity on how it's going to work, but here's the ultra-condensed version. Astrosites (marco) and myself making a community of groups that have an element of roleplay, and a variety when it comes to combat - basically groups that aren't your average SMG-terminal based gun clan. We're breaking away from the norm, speak to me or Astrosites if you're interested. Read the whole thing for more details on this.

The 'gateway' already exists if you have A) a smart reconnaissance group in the know on modern groups (or a google spreadsheet listing active clans) and B) a presence on general C&G war clan discords.

You want to create "a gateway for community clans to challenge other groups with a similar level of dedication towards their group, lore-wise and activity-wise (and most likely, technology-wise.)" What exactly will this be other than just a group?

I think what he's trying to do, Raviz, is create a universe like the UN where we all will get together and have meetings, ### ### battles, share in lore, and create lore that relates to each and every group in said universe. Not so much a 'clan community' more so it is a 'clan universe'.

@Raviz
Though you aren't wrong, not every clan wants to muster a force to scout and see which groups are active, which bases are fun to play at and offer a variety of playstyles. Not to mention, a considerable amount of people aren't in the C&G Discord server - I can vouch for this by not being in it myself. It's not because i'm inactive on the forums, it's purely because I don't even know the link to it - and if I (I consider myself to be an active clan participant) don't know about it, it wouldn't be surprising to know if other people aren't on there/haven't heard of it either.

On the matter of the purpose of this potential group, the only purpose of it is to link clans with the aforementioned similar ideals I mentioned. Talks between groups, I assume, will happen on the wall, though if a particular clan is searching for a war - they'll be able to shout on the group wall that they're looking for one. If another group is also looking for one, which is likely considering how much people enjoy wars on here, then that person will easily find a clan to war, that has been verified to not only support a variety of playstyles, but has also been verified to have a substantial story behind the group. You may be wondering as to what the purpose of this is, so i'll give you an example.

If a group like Edeltia wanted a similar lore-like war that they had with VAK, but with another group this time, they couldn't just declare war on a random group on the forums and expect them to co-operate in incorporating their lore with the war. However, if they requested a war like that from one in the potential community, it'll easily be found with barely any qualms.

What you're suggesting is this, then?

https://www.roblox.com/groups/group.aspx?gid=2722461

If so:
- Nobody wants to ally it except small clans.
- They don't really go anywhere.

Not really. If anything, a way more heavily filtered version of that - one in which only clans of the type I previously described (examples again, being CONEX, A-SOV and TSU due to the aforementioned requirements in my post) could be allied to it. There'd be more functionality to the mother group in our case, such as organising wars, combining stories, etc. For example:

Edeltia wants to challenge a group to a lore-heavy war.

Edeltia would shout on the group status, and state that they're searching for a war. If another group is searching for a war on the group, they don't have to worry about scouting for whether the group has an established lore, a base that supports a variety of playstyles, etc.

As I previously mentioned to Raviz, they couldn't randomly post on the forums asking for a lore-related war from an unknown group, as they won't even know if the group has an established story or not for a war of this variety to take place.

Though it's a side point, WCoR pretty much doesn't check a group's quality when they apply anyway, or their activity (which they pledged to). It promised and didn't deliver, purely because they couldn't handle the large amount of groups. However, in our case, the sample size will be much smaller due to the elevated requirements.

Edeltia will not be affiliated with this because other groups would leech off of the success of Edeltia and her allies.

This plan would maybe have worked a few years ago, but clans as a whole are dead except a select few.

@Commander

Though I understand your point of view, I really don't think you're in a position to release an official statement for Edeltia (as you've retired).

Though of course, if they don't join, it's not a problem - i'm simply stating that I really don't think what you're saying is official.

Though in response to what you said ("but clans as a whole are dead except a select few."), i'd again, like to refer to the clans I suggested that meet the prerequisites set that are succeeding right now - again, see The Sovereign Unity, Arenirian Sovereignty, etc.

Hi yes! Co-founder Marco here, and I'm glad to see there's so much support. We intend on making a discord server soon for us all to communicate.

This is going to be great.
