Drastic Times Calls For Drastic Measures

So yah I think we have finally reached the point where we are just wondering around in the dark, hardly anything is happening.. only a few of us are trying to help and thinking of new ideas to help and even few less are doing something with those ideas.

And after hearing the bad news that there will not be another UT for a long time, it leaves us only with UT3, the game that we all love and hate, and we have no other choice then to do something extreme or just drop it once and for all, because this "I'm leaving, I'm back, I'm leaving just a bit and still keep complaining how bad the games are on the forums and only start drama"

So like I already said (and don't start crying or go all wild before carefully and considering these ideas) drastic times calls for drastic measures.

Again THE ONLY THING I'm asking is to consider and trying to accept these ideas!

Personally I think deleting the whole clanbase and putting a maximum number of clans will help get rid of all the messy and inactive clans. And with maximum number I mean something drastically like 10.

Also with only a maximum numbers of clans I can see allot more Clan battles and more competitive playing happening. I know allot of people are going to cry for their inactive clans but someone has to be a parent and do whats best for you and the community. Because it seems that most of us are far from being adults in the community.

when you say put a maximum number of clans, are you saying like 10 people in the clan? or just 10 clans in all? if you mean just 10 clans you're adding tons of people to rosters.. the again i have no idea how many "active" clans we really have anymore -_-

edit: i think just 10 in a clan would be smarter, but thats just me

lol. And who's going to decide which teams are active and which team aren't? If ckc is taking up too much space on this site, delete us.

So we have to start giving out pink slips to members in the big clans? I think there is enough pink slips going out in the world lol

Wa?

In reality you can't police how many clans a game has, nor how many members each one has. As nice as the idea of having a certain amount of "active" clans sounds, I don't think it's practical. Playing the same people over and over might get stale too.

Or have I mis-interpreted this?

I think you guys are taking it the wrong way (what I said at least)...it's no big deal to me to leave it as it is or change it. It was just an interesting thought that I wouldn't be opposed to...not like I was suggesting or pushing deleting any clans! lol!  Absolutely not!  There would need to be a lot more discussion than this poll to decide if there would be any changes.

I don't think having restrictions on a clan's size is realistic...like Fase said it all depends on the situation.  I missed that part at the end about a maximum number of clans as well...that I don't think would work either.

As a basic concept I understand what Venom is driving at, it would need more thought to be a plan though.  Also, if clans are happy with how things are now then you have to leave it alone.  I agree with Trinity as well...about it being an organic thing that will grow or die either way.

I think if you spend some more time thinking about how you would accomplish this taking into account the feelings of the existing clans you might end up with something not so drastic that might be acceptable to people.  I know that was the point of your thread...being drastic...but still...in the end people usually don't like being told what to do and that's a big part of your current idea.

and people must remember that just because your clan lists several people, not all those people are real active or active at all....our clan for example has about 8-9 people that play regularly, and by regularly I mean 2-3 times a week...Right now we are at our set mark and not recruiting anyone else...however if someone wants "50" members that's their prerogative...there may be a lot of diks on here but this isn't a dictatorship

I don't mean anything bad by it or intend to do something evil.   My point with doing something drastic is that people might finally wake up and say wth! Because right now we are just walking around in circles.   And if there would be a well thought plan for doing everything over again is so that we have more control on whats going on in the future.   With deleting the clanbase and re-adding the clans on request you can really see which are the active clans. But I don't know, there allot of ways.   In the end I just want whats best for everyone.. currently the players have more control over iamgaming, which is good! BUT you can't run a country without any leaders, as you can see there is just to much drama and nothing is happening. Someone has to say "We are going to do this, We are going to do that" And if its to harsh then we can do a poll or discuss about it.   Also I think the most important thing right now is to focus all the energy on competitive playing, and thats where my idea of sizing down the number of clans is coming from.   Something has to happen, someone has to say something, if its not me, then who will? And right now, nothing is happening and the only thing I can do is say something.
