Hey everyone! Anyone up to form a clan once the game publishs?

[Jerry]

You'll also probably find a dozen clans

[Hova]

Clans would be awesome in the game, I hope they add it in

"They". being the PU team, ARE going to include clans. Hence why we've been talking for several pages about clans/guilds.

[Hova]

Sorry then I didn't read the first page lol

So I was playing another MMO yesterday, and I noticed that people seem to make guilds just so they can be the leader and get a sh*tstorm  if cash and "epic loots" flowing into their inventories, and because of this, guilds seem to spring up and die out overnight.

Please, people, please, do not make a guild unless you are a fair leader, and will be active enough to keep it alive. That means don't make a world of warcraft style guild (unfair) or a Metal Gear Online run clan (inactive).

JEREMY!

Yes, omnipotent clan leader?

What epic lewts do you have for me today?

But, master, you took everything I owned yeterday. I don't even have any pokemon anymore.

Bring me a glaceon by tomorrow, or I'm kicking you out!

Y-yes, master.

Two months later...

Hey, Jeremy?

Yeah?

What happened to that obese clan leader of yours?

Dunno. He hasn't logged in for two months. I think I'm gonna guess at his password and see if I can get my pokemon back.

His password is pokemon. Either that or imagreatclanleader

Fairly easy fix.
 
Have a fixed cap to the number of clans that can be active at one time (I say 100 or so)
 
Establish strict requirements to being able to found a clan. (based on player lvl, tenure in the game, or whatever)
 
If a clan leader is inactive for over a month, delete the clan.
 
And if a clan plans to be unfair, any member would have the option to leave...

...That's actually a pretty good idea. Though, with this, there can be people that just create clans and have just them or just two people in the clan, and so many people do that that very few real clans can get made.

And if a clan plans to be unfair, any member would have the option to leave...

Well I know that. I actually mentioned it before. I just don't think that obnoxious people like that deserve to have athourity. And yes, there are people that will not leave just 'cause they think it's unfair.

Another way to avoid abuse is to have players from the same IP range unable to join the same clan.
 
And , just because a player founds a clan doesnt necessarily make him/her a leader. Founding should limit the founder to "founding privilleges". And to avoid the 2-3 member spam clan, a clan must have at least 6 members in a week or face deletion. And after that week of existence, players should be given a ballot and vote for whomever they want to lead the clan.
 
Then, every other month or so, upon entering the "clan"/Guild house, players are automatically prompted into another vote for leadership in the clan.
 
Because one way to prevent corruption and mishandling of power is to limit the time one can actually be in power.

Sounds pretty bullet proof, maybe make the election time a little more often than every month? After all, 1 month would be a long time to wait to get some poor leadership outta there, or if a leader (despite everything) quit without passing the leadership onto someone else, or maybe they're computer gets some nasty issues or something. Would the leadership following the leader position have enough to hold the group together until that month past, and more importantly, would it make it easier on them if the wait till next elections was only 1 week, or 2.

I doubt I'll make a guild for this game, but I'll probably join one.  want to join one that has a cool name, so here are some suggestions for people thinking about making one. Hell Fire, Inner Blaze (Fire Type) Death Toll (any type) Earth Shakers (Ground maybe), Night Storm (any), Below 0 (Ice/water or something), Sky Kings (Sky Types, Dragon Types maybe?)  Mountain of Glory (any), The Rapids (water), The Night Bringers (Dark, Ghost, Psychic maybe).

Oh and just thought of some more...Fists of Fury (Fighting), New Dawn (any),  High Tide (water), Leaves Of Envy (grass, bug etc.), Even Flow (water, psychic, or something like that), Standing Alone Together (Any type).  Just be sure that your group is as awesome as the name, after all it would suck if all the good names were taken by groups that hardly ever play, personally I think the original names without weird spacing and _'s and numbers in em should be for the groups that are gonna be epic if you ask me.
