Alright, so I'll just put this here...
Caleb does not notice that every diplomacy clan he makes the less people that will join the other ones he helped... people that join La Grande would have instead joined the wolves, aoe, etc
Overly simple, but yes. This is basically true. You've seen it happen.
Dude, you say you like helping people, and that you love to do it, but you trying to help doesn't mean anything if you don't actually help. I guess you're in a 3 person clan right now to "help", but if that were the case, then they wouldn't be a 3 person clan right now. You've done little to prove this clan jumping philosophy you claim you cling to so dearly. If anything, WarLight should remember you as the guy who wanted attention, and so decided to clan hop until he was given negative attention, because to some people, negative attention is better than anything.
Orth was too harsh, but he does have a POINT!
Seriously, jumping clans around is not a problem at all, it's perfectly fine and won't make people like you more or less (except a couple exceptions that take clans too seriously like Relm), but founding a clan, making it grow and then bailing away to another one? And then leaving it to make it a new one? Sorry, but that right there is what makes some people have a bad image of you.
You basically grew and educated a kid in a very peculiar way no one else would manage to educate further, then left it alone to make another one. Being a clanjumper is fine, but being a founder and still jumping? That right there isn't really going to get you much far. When the french one grows, what is your next step? Are you going to stay with them and continue growing it, helping it and so on? Or will you just leave and add one more to the count of clans you jumped from? And then what are you going to do? Is Hydra just going to say "thanks" and let you go like Jai or will him/her react differently?
What basically everyone is trying to say is that you are not committing yourself to the clans you grew. Then, after the cycle just keeps repeating, most clans will look at you as a jumper and only the very open ones will be still accepting you, and basically no one will want to fund your next new clan idea.
