I respectively disagree that a majority of the clan members will automatically vote yes on the question as to whether the clan system is OK as is or needs improvement.
It is still uncertain in my mind if, other than some of the high point earning clans, many clan members even care. Otherwise you probably won't see so many of the top rated clans (metallica included by the way) offering lopsided challenges and suprising to me, many are accepted.
That's an indicator to me that perhaps many of the clan members do not really care about clan points, they just like playing chess. For that reason, I recommend we have a vote to determine the level of interest in changine the clan system before moving forward.
As an aside, I don't believe there is anything wrong with a clan leader offering lopsided challenges. I would like to see it controlled, but until it is, lopsided challenges are within the rules and those points won are just as valid as any other.
Conversely I see sandbagging in a much different light, that difference being intentional deception. I know many of you believe sandbagging and lopsided challenges are equally evil but I do not. That is my opinion so please take it for what it is, just an opinion..
