The Demise of the Clan System

Taunt, goad or ridicule rival clans means just that. Hanging around discussing a "team based feature" seems facile and not likely to be a real draw card?

Do you follow any football code? Do fans sit around discussing team based features of the game, or do they get stuck in supporting?

I think the clan system gives posters a chance to support their team/clan in the Clans forum, and I'm all for it. We just need a little commonsense to prevent clan fights from turning into personal vendettas between individuals.

Each clan should name a mascot, which could be the target for the opposing team's arrows and bullets. Choice of mascot could be an interesting exercise for any clan. 🙂

My sense of humor prefers jokes that are actually funny.

Yes! and chess could be about peacefully co-existing on black and white squares

I prefer my taunts, goads and ridicules to be humourless...

Yes, I don't participate in a Clan; and wouldn't in a Team, either. I enjoy playing individual matches.

Still, I do think there's much to be said for changing the name. I'm sure that many Clan members would object, of course. However, I imagine that the Clan community would absorb the change and move on quickly enough if the RHP folks decided to risk foisting the change upon them.

Usually, I dislike polical correctness. But, in this case, I'll side with the wimps.
