As the first month of 2012 comes to a conclusion, some may wonder how the clan world shall change in this year. In 2011, WIJ and VS emerged as superpowers - and while UCR dropped, RAT and FEAR held strong. Some may question, will there be any new superpowers in 2012? Which clans will fall, and which will rise? This post provides comprehensive predictions for the current top 10 currently most influential (opinion) clans on ROBLOX. Enjoy.
#1. The Roblox Assault Team (RAT): Currently: RAT is currently one of the most influential and powerful groups on ROBLOX, by balancing technologies, capable high ranks, well versed members and elaborate clan bases - RAT has become the ultimate power on ROBLOX. While ColourTheory has been, at times, controversial as a leader - the job has always gotten done, and gotten done well. 2012 Predictions: In 2012, I predict ColourTheory will leave RAT to Stelation in March - the same month he first acquired RAT. Stelation, while mature and apt - has kept himself out of the spotlight, and lacks the expansive connections some need in order to properly run clans. I believe RAT technologies and productions will drop about 50% over the next year, with a less capable (but still serviceable) builder acquiring RAT. ColourTheory has also has an 'iron fist' effect on his high ranks - keeping them in line through encouragement, motivation but most importantly fear of failure. I believe the vast system of connections, high ranks and members that ColourTheory has worked so hard to control, will have a slight falling back - resulting in a less organized and less efficient clan. Running an influential and powerful clan such as RAT can take time, and cause stress - Stelation, unproven in clan ownership will most likely be able to handle such stress - but not in the professional and laid-back fashion of many super clan leaders. Therefore, it is my prediction that RAT will maintain the third largest clan - and increase in members at a lower rate then the past year. I also predict it will become a less influential and powerful clan with its upcoming new leader, and will lose the affect it has worked so hard to achieve.
#2. Vortex Security Currently: Vortex Security has recently undergone a comprehsensive and innovative reform - where all data of member action points, command points, rank, notes on player and more. In addition to this they demoted everyone of rank in VS - to be rid of possible corruption. I believe this will be of benefit to them, especially with new bases, weapons and tech coming out in the near future. The 'cleaning house' of Vortex Security presently was a nice choice. 2012 Predictions: Through out 2012, the bearings of Justgoaway1's comprehensive reform will be shown - as the reform earns the clan respect, influence and more power around ROBLOX. In addition to this, I predict corruption and admin attacks in Vortex Security to drop by at least 90%. In addition to this, the releases of the new weapons, Vulcan 3.0 and additional technological innovations during 2012 will allow Vortex Security to become ROBLOX's largest and more influential clan by far. The now stable VS will prosper, unlike that of VS in the past 6 months. It is smooth sailing for VS in the coming year.
#3. WIJ Currently: WIJ and Vortex Security are currently fighting for technological superiority in ROBLOX, however with Vortex Security producing more tech effectively, it has surpassed WIJ in such a race. WIJ, once the quickest growing clan on ROBLOX, as flatlined in both place visits and members relative to their previous rates. Their rigorous and flawed promotion system discourages members from gaining ranks, due to disorganization of the system. Yet, WIJ is only a few pieces away from becoming a true super-power and one of the most influential clans on ROBLOX. 2012 Predictions: In 2012, WIJ will surpass both LOL and Telamon Fan Club - becoming the official 4th largest clan on ROBLOX. In addition to this, new versions of past WIJ bases will rekindle the immense member flow WIJ once had, therefore sparking its 're-birth'. SilentSwords, realizing the fault in his lack of HRs - will implement a new promotion system, similar to that of VS's - and will now be able to keep track of all ranks and promote them accordingly. WIJ will stabilize itself as one of the most stable, innovative and powerful groups on ROBLOX in the coming year.
#4. FEAR Currently: Current FEAR is owned by SONICTHEHEDGEHOGXX, and maintains its status as the largest group on ROBLOX. Though inactivity by SONIC, and lack of innovative bases have caused the clan member quality to flatline - while member flow remains constant. FEAR, in itself is not a clan of quality - but rather of quantity and therefore influence, which FEAR has yet to take advantage of. 2012 Predictions: In mid-2012, SONIC's inactivity will get the best of him - and all ownership of FEAR will be granted to the organize BrianK255. While some have been critical of Brian's eagerness, calling him arrogant or inept, I believe these insults are misleading and wrong. Brian's ownership of FEAR will kindle a new technological and purposeful era of FEAR - allowing FEAR members to enjoy some of the advances ROBLOX clans have taken since FEAR's creation. However, with these technological advances and quality improvement - quantity will drop. With Brian owning FEAR, a famous person no longer owns it - therefore causing 'SONIC stalkers' to leave FEAR, and prohibits new ones from joining. Expect a year of growth in quality and technology for FEAR - but a year of decrease in quantity and influence for FEAR. Brian, lacking the connections of SONIC will not be able to maintain FEAR's vast influence, which it is still yet to tap into.
#5: Urban Assault Forces Currently: Currently UAF is owned by MOOJL, the successor of the PR mastermind Benblue9. MOOJL's leadership potential has not yet been tapped into, and therefore his leadership decisions have been shoddy and severely influenced by his high ranks. UAF is currently a very active clan, but yet one of less pride and member cohesion then that of the benblue9 era. The war with RAT is increasing activity, but decreasing public relations and diplomacy with others. 2012 Predictions: In 2012, the previously inexperienced MOOJL will be pressured to leave UAF by members of the C&G and many clans around ROBLOX - not because of his lack of ability, but because of his poor, high rank influenced choices concerning UAF. However, for months MOOJL will run UAF begrudgingly and effectively - proving his critics wrong and changing with this criticism, as the criticism will finally bring out the leader in MOOJL. UAF will drop many benblue9 policies, and attain much new technologies through alliance assistance. Though UAF has no specific points of attraction - its balance, member cohesion and friendly atmosphere still attract members. It is my prediction that UAF will steadily gain members over the next year, attaining a front page clan later in 2012. In addition the quality of tech will only increase slightly, but member cohesion and functionality will increase two-fold, providing for a unique - but somewhat unimpressive clan experience.
#6: United Clan of ROBLOX Currently: The United Clan of ROBLOX is still under reform from the effects of the Trick555 era, and the inactivity within the group. In 2011 it only continued to fall, not only in quantity or ranking, but also in influence and activity. Currently the United Clan of ROBLOX name still brings it influence, and some activity - but it will take a genius reform to get this one glorious clan out of the cellar. Reforms are underway, and TDFall and his high ranks appear to be working diligently. 2012 Predictions: In 2012 the UCR reforms will be completed, but because they are not properly implemented or pragmatic - they will not improve the clan greatly, but rather keep it at status quo. Therefore, TDFall, disheartened by his inactive clan - will pass on his project to CakeTheory, the innovative and eccentric Vice President of UCR in May of 2012. The passing of ownership will only serve to improve technological and building output slightly - but with the reform halted, and little more coming from the less apt CakeTheory, UCR will fall severely onto the second page of clans in 2012. In addition, activity will decrease even more so then it already has. The technological advancements of UCR will increase the quality of members, and the activity of only the most loyal members - though.
#7: Frost Clan Currently: Frost Clan, staying quiet since the VAK war has nether the less only improved in 2011. Frost Clan's active and hard working owner Dignatio never fails to impress me with his building expertise and lack of corrupt intentions. His high ranks are kept in line by his assertive personality, and his members well trained by his comprehensive training system. Frost Clan's based are some of the most respected and of highest quality in the game, and it shall remain that way. 2012 Predictions: In 2012, Dignatio will hold onto Sleet Clan for the most part - innovating a new base, that surpasses that of the incumbent Fort Wolf. This new base, combined with Frost Clan's attractive theme and immense talent will bring in a wave of members to this already large clan - allowing it to become the fifth largest clan on ROBLOX, and surpass both UAF and UCR in members. Towards the end of 2012, Dignatio will leave Frost Clan to Shadow4155 - whose leadership will be limited within the final months of 2012. However, his ownership will bring nothing new or innovative to Frost Clan - but rather maintain a simple status quo, with his lack of speciality, Frost Clan will decline in the final months of 2012 - but not enough to keep it off the front page of clans come year end.
#8: The Robloxian Army Currently: TRA has recently gone through a multitude of ownership changes, with LordRobobuy ending up with TRA. Lord's reclusive intentions, and lack of integration with his members has been causing some problems and inactivity within TRA. New bases seem to be on their way, but questions arise on whether they are innovative or simply new - TRA has been a consistent clan for some time, but what does 2012 have in store for them? 2012 Predictions: In 2012, LordRobobuy, pressured by his own clans slight inactivity and his lack of options - shall give up TRA to one of his Generals. No matter who the general, TRA will maintain status quo - as it always has. It will maintain consistent and serviceable activity at its serviceable and average bases. In addition, its members will increase slightly with the ownership change - and TRA will be mostly quiet in 2012 with its mundane actions. Expect TRA to drop in influence with the shift in leaders, and for it to maintain normality.
#9: Reign of Chaos Currently: RoC is currently owned by xThuuMx, a controversial and secluded leader who usually cedes to his high ranks to control his own clan for him. While his high ranks will argue he has all power in the clan, he-himself is not capable of running RoC alone due to lack of critical thinking. RoC is currently a conventional clan, with normal activity rates and relatively quiet members. It lacks the influence that other clans of its size have because of its less connected owner, and is a quite mundane clan. 2012 Predictions: In 2012, ownership shall change in RoC - with WannaBet, an innovative builder acquiring RoC. WannaBet, far more apt than xThuuMx will lead RoC to some success - though not in quantity of members, but rather activity and quality of clan. RoC will engineer many new and innovative bases in the next year, and member size will increase a bit because of it - but activity will also increase exponentially. Therefore rendering RoC one of the most active and respected groups on ROBLOX, though influence will maintain low and at status quo because of the lack of connections WannaBet maintains in the clan world.
#10: John's Cobras Currently: JC is one of the more corrupt and controversial clans on ROBLOX currently, with pspjohn declaring false victories, using exploits and manipulating the public in order to portray a 'perfect' clan - while JC actually operates in dystopia. The lack of innovative clan base is no matter of JC, as they maintain so many enemies so clans raiding them keeps their activity up. The main appeal of JC is activity, while the promotion systems and leadership are correct and inept - therefore creating for a flawed environment. 2012 Predictions: In 2012, JC will only continue to grow with immature and members lacking elite status from around ROBLOX. It will produce, nor innovate any new technology - but rather continue feeding off of stolen or copied technology from other clans. However, this will be no matter as the activity will continue to rise with that of its place visits. The influence, quality and technology will also maintain their lowly status quo - and JC will most likely hit the top of the second page of groups by the conclusion of 2012.
Top 10 (Influential) Clan Predictions by the Start of 2012:
#1: Vortex Security #2: The Roblox Assault Team #3: WIJ #4: FEAR #5: Frost Clan #6: Urban Assault Forces #7: Reign of Chaos #8: The Robloxian Army #9: Alversian People's Navy #10:United Clan of ROBLOX

In Frost clan, you said 'Sleet Clan'. Was that a typo?

@Dathvader
An honest omission, I obviously meant to have them at #1 - in both 2011 and 2012.

| @Darth, why would you expect Zol would be on here? It is called "Predicting the powers" not "Predicting the most corrupt, cheating and unhonorable powers". |

@ Squid.
Use this time to build up VAK again, make the colonels vote on which general should be the head general and that general is the temp leader of VAK while Vaktus is inactive. |

@ Squid.
True, true.
VAK needs to go back to it's coalition ways, it was cooler then. Also have a complete and utter reform of HRs that are below general making sure that trustworthy ones are there and the corrupt ones are gone. all those who are unworthy of their rank should be demoted. |
