Specialized clan for CW ready players

As interested as I am to be in CW, I feel a connection with [FURHQ] that I really don't want to give up just to be in Clan Wars.

I really can't describe it, but I wouldn't switch clans just to participate in CW, I'd rather have it where one clan that we currently have where to only have CW players and the casual and players without the required levels be put in a new clan or in an existing clan. I'm just not sure about this right now.

**walks into the tread looks around.**

I like the idea of dis!

Well, we aren't rejecting people. If they apply to FURHQ or FURST and they don't have the tanks necessary for cw, then we see if they want to join FURRD. FURHQ and FURST are already pretty full with only a handful of spots left, with FURRD on its way there already. So the idea is to move the managable number of people who want and are ready to participate in clanwars to a new clan which will free up space in FURHQ for the "casual" players.

Remember, any furry can still join. They just might not be in FURHQ or FURST. The important thing is not to see it as: "I want to join FURST" or "I want to join FURHQ". It really doesn't matter because all three clans are members of a collective of furry WoT players. The clans only help to bring everyone together. There is no competition between the clans either.

This is merely to make administration easier since there will soon be 300+ players combined. I think this is coming to the point where, like you said, reddit has 8 clans now? This is basically the same thing, we may have 8 furry clans in the future, and being in any single one shouldn't necessarily be taken as being in a seperate clan. If I am in RDDT5, I am still part of the RDDT clan, just with a number attached. Each of our clan names just happens to be unique and doesn't necessarily follow any standard.

Does this make sense? I am not trying to argue I just want to make sure people understand why we might want to do this or not do this and by all means this should be discussed by as much of the clan as possible since it does involve everyone.

Ok, I get what you're saying. I suppose I already had it in my mind that we would create a 4th general purpose clan anyways, and so, failed to see your point and assumed you knew that too.

So, your question still stands: Would it be better to just create the 4th clan and move players from furhq to "4thclan" or create a 4th clan and also a specialized CW clan?

I really appreciate your feedback on this orange ;D

Anyone else, please feel free to chime in.

I think that we should have a 4th clan specifically for clan wars just because we don't have an active ongoing group to do clan wars yet or maybe even just swap some people around and make one of the 3 the group unless we have too many people.

I figure if we create the '4thclan' and set it up for general purpose, that would be optimal. By doing so, we would need to declare one of the existing clans our 'clan wars' active clan.

Now, if we did this, we have two ways of going about the people existing in whichever clan becomes the clan wars clan.

We can A.) Move out all the non-clan wars players to the new clan. This is essentially the same thing as making a specific clan wars clan for the purpose of moving players into, reversed.

Or B.) Let the non-clan wars players stay in the clan as long as the space is available. This would mean moving all the active clan wars players into the clan as expected, and booting out whoever is not actively participating to make the space.

As long as this is made clear to the furs in the clan, I do not see there being an issue letting non-clan wars players stay as long as space is there. This maximizes the amount of space we would have available and would set back the time before a 5th clan is necessary.

While we are 'one clan', I've seen that people identify with whichever clan they are in and may feel reticent on just having to move arbitrarily.

To that end, a little more effort might be necessary to identify better candidates for whom to move first, by category of activity (Should not have any qualms moving someone who has not been active in WoT within X amount of time) and after that, perhaps seniority (time in clan). You could also have a roster of volunteers of furs willing to move first if needed.

Of course, with this plan I would fully expect leadership support in letting people voluntarily move to the new clan.

But to fully answer the question, if there's no issues just making 5 clans, you can do whatever you want. There would be no reason to move anyone but the clan wars players to the clan war specific clan.

Just my thoughts and suggestions on how to go about this in detail. :3
