I laugh at me and J talking about the release of Starcraft 2 in the picture.   

Anyway, if this whole clan thing goes down, no event should be made specifically for it.  Instead, have just one extra line next to your forum avatar the shows what clan you are in, so it would be purely aesthetic.

Ew. I hate clans. Didn't join one back when I played runescape (shudders... haven't touched that game in 5 years), aren't in one for Mario Kart Wii, and probably won't join one for Elements .

Hmm, seems like you didn't get to see the bad part of it

Anyways, we don't even have clans yet, let alone clan events

Well I quit after I was scammed by a friend I had known in game for quite awhile out of a Blue Mask back when they were worth 26M. I just didn't have the resolve to go on after that .

Why does everyone think that 'Clans' are a good idea?

I don't know... I just get this odd, disturbing feeling that awkward cliches between the elite around the non-elite will be formed, which doesn't exactly bring the community together...

But oh well. I say no, but if you manage to put one together and everything goes smoothly, then I can't be angry.

Yep, this is what I think would happen. Also clans or guilds don't really bring anything new to the table in Elements. They work in MMO's because there you can actually team up with your guild members and play the game. Elements is different because there is no team play here.

Seconded and QFT.

Ok i know most of you are againist clans but why can't you give the idea a shot and develop a clan system?

[RootRanger]

I've seen them work in 1v1 games with no teamwork.
There wasn't really that cliche feeling because one of the clans would accept anyone who joined even though they had a few vets/elites.
I would give it a try.

For the clan feature suggestion:

A Clan rank will be based on all the members score within the clan. If a member decides to leave their score will be removed from the overall rank. Once a clan is made they should be able to enter “Clan War Events” on official forums which will rank all clans based on there results from these events. I think rewards should be given to all members if they won the event such as reward codes (coins/rare cards).

My idea on features for clans:

-Each clan should have it’s own clan name and clan tag.
-There should be a clan database( listing all clans, members within a clan, clan leader, members w/l ratio along with there score, clan overall rank.)
-To create a clan a person must atlest have 100k score and have the power to invite/kick members.
-Each clan should have a Bio page listing what there clan is about and requirements.
-Each clan should have a limited membership of atlest 8 or 10 members.

All of this can be done without any input from staff, aside from rewards for events. If you think you can get the demand for it, then give it a go. I for one am not going to stop people forming "clans" or other groups as long as it's not stirring up too much drama.

I don't think you'll get much demand, though. I'm not really sure that the effort required to run this would actually be worth it.
