G'day decent folks and the latter.
I'll be addressing issues that plague Swords Clans and an intended solution for them.
TL:DR will be provided at the bottom.
Not too long ago, a popular post was created stating along the lines of: "There is no such thing as futuristic clans swinging medieval sticks". As it stands now, that’s correct. I’ve also seen posts saying that swords clans lack purpose, uniqueness, standards, etc. They’re not wrong. The current “Sword Clan Community (SCC)” to which most sword clans have allied is, in my opinion, far too lax, neglected, and unregulated. Not to say it’s useless... it’s just not what the clan community needs. But I’m not here to revile the standing SCC, that’s done enough as is.
So what’s missing? It’s not a lack of players, groups, or technology. While censorship and repeat hurtful updates from the ROBLOX platform may be inevitable, that doesn’t mean they’re solely to blame or that it’s not something we can work around. There are significant issues we ourselves can actually address. Modern clans lack purpose, they lack the lore and sense of individualism and nationalism that came with that. Clans are not as closely bonded and few of the historical ethics that binded clans are still applied. Watch a minute or two of Castellian’s closing statements for TGI from the timestamp below. While he may have directed this to C&G as a whole, I could never have said this more perfectly, specifically towards sword clans.

So what am I going to do about it? I’ll be creating a new clan community for sword clans. Let me be clear, it is not intended to replace the existing SCC. This serves purposes beyond those provided by the SCC. This community will center around the interaction of clans in terms of lore, the establishment of clear regulations, and work to bring back spirit into what was once such a great community. This community, called The Nexus, will work under the preface of:
Sci-fi Lore Based Community for Swords Clans.
A future within an alternate reality where the concept of guns was never conceived.
Different groups with different agendas are scattered across the galaxy. Strong nations, security corporations, ravagers, merchants, etc. all hasten to establish their place in history.
Year: 3017 CE
As of now I’m reaching out to the existing community. I encourage you to give your share to this project and help make it the best it can be. Sword clan leaders, you of all people are most essential if this is to be a success. This concept is in a very early age and I seek people to help with its development. I ask for your insights and concerns.
The Nexus | Clan Community

Anyone interested, in any form, please contact me on discord @ Menace#6615
TL:DR | Sword clans face a lot of issues stemming from a lack of purpose and individualism. I plan to create a community focusing on the interaction of clans and the establishment of lore for which all clans can relate and add their piece to.

| Pretty sure the problem here is that gun players do not like sword players Hybrid clans are ######## again but both parties have the power to make that a thing again - most choose not to If you want to make the lore of clans common again, just participate with the SCC and I am sure the council will hear you out. Making a whole new group is not necessary |

Sounds like a SCC coalition but just for clans that have lore.

On the SCC discord, I was being told that people thought I meant to replace the SCC or that it could be incorporated into it.
My response to that is:
It cannot be incorporated into it. It is impossible that all clans would adhere to it, support it, or convert to its ways.
I'd also like to address this isn't just about lore. This is about creating an environment that regulates toxicity much more. I expected brash responses, I'm not an idiot, but I made this post because I needed to do something about it. It is, whether you like it or not, possible to make a community without toxicity. I've done it.

In all honesty, SCC has done a great job in providing the necessary services to those in the word clan community, but times have changed and a new service is on the rise. This is again, not intended to replace the free-standing SCC already put into place, but to better improve and bring the sword community into one, while providing the actual necessities and implications needed.
Not to mention, SCC has had its downfall over the last few months unfortunately with arguments being brought upon for unnecessary reasons of stupidity, aka the Royal Blood and Skilled Force war. With this, Nexus ensures that there will be no toleration to problematic situations. Though fighting, wars, and arguing is inevitable, we can at least try and trickle it down to being something less serious.
Nexus is not a threat to the SCC and never will be, we just want to provide a service that is safe for people of all ages and all groups without the contemporary issues. Though in all honesty, it may not seem like a good idea, it can benefit us all and be something that all clans can thrive for. We can provide services like tips on running a clan, videos on the latest news, a place of new learning and experiences for all without hassle. That is all that we want. Something to people to help others and to bring us closer together.

| Sword-only clans are basically dead. It's nice to see that you are doing an effort to try and bring them back, but I doubt it'll work out at the start. |

so.. any group that isn't sci fi based isn't allowed to join?
I think it's up to the group to decide if they want lore, if they don't then it's their fault there's no purpose or interaction in their group |

Sword clans are far from dead, they're just all too similar.

And Mini, sadly yes, this specific community would be for sci-fi only. The majority of clans do fit this description. It's also just more convenient for the continuity of lore.

Sword Clans aren't dead, they're just extremely and horrible ran by a group of friends that don't regulate any sort of an actual community guideline that is unbiased.

I somewhat agree with you in the idea that we need to provide motivation for groups through lore and that the SCC is extremely laxed, unregulated and toxic, yet you have to account the fact that all projects start with good intentions, the SCC being apart of that statement.
Regardless of lore or tech, it's all boils down to toxicity and bad sportsmanship.

Well, I've had the same concerns so I'm going to emphasize this:
This isn't a public community. This is via application and it will be strictly moderated.
