Welcome! To the official Clan League Season 9 Division C thread! Hosted by the one and only Great Expanse. Graph maker extraordinaire! Manager of the History Channel! And self-described "score-keeper", whatever that is....If you aren't familiar with my work, look up the CL7 Division D1 thread (where everyone got along and was happy, I wish) to the CL8 Division C thread (where knyte might have gone insane and everyone bickered). And why was I allowed to be scorekeeper?

Introduction:

---

Division C is the home of (in alphabetical order):

• 7th Heaven
  
• Fifth Column Confederation (FCC)
  
• Hydra (Hüdra or The History Channel)
  
• Lu Fredd
  
• Statisticians
  
• The Juggernauts Clan (TJC)

All clans have fought their way out of the brutal qualifier format into Division C, which I will be casually referring to as Division Thirsty. Now, a casual search of UrbanDictionary.com will come up with some smutty references to thirsty, so ignore those! We aren't talking about sex right now! But to keep this rated PG-13 for all you tweens out there, we are using thirsty to mean:

A desperate desire to want or need something

Ex. "Micheal is thirsty for steals on the b-ball court, damn bro"

Visual Approximation of Thirsty Clans:


But to get all serious for a second, Clan League is a fun competition, and a few clans might take it a bit too seriously. So let us all start this off on a more stupid note and not let the Thirst overtake us all. And I will be looking at you GE to keep that thirst in check the most.

Edited 5/14/2017 06:01:10

Can't wait to see lineups, I still have an idea of what I think though

YES! The amazing graphs of GE's are back, which I always look forward to see! Good luck to everyone as well.

Excited to see you scorekeeping GE =)

Submitted prediction but can't say how accurate it will be until we see the line ups.

Good luck everyone! This is exciting

I submitted my prediction as well.

Just some thoughts on it. First of all i think it's going to be really close between 3/4 clans.

1. 7th Heaven
The players only played 1 game in stage 1. So everyone has 2 slots left, which is very important against the high quality players from the other clans.

2. Hydra
Besides Green Turtle everyone can be used at least twice. I think Hydra is pretty deep in their roster, which might be their advantage over the other clans.

3. FCC
Smoove has 2 slots left, but Pardon only 1, so that might be a problem for FCC, since i have my doubts, that they can keep up the pace with 7th Heaven and Hydra. Others like BADA and Aura need to deliver and carry them as well. Depth wise it could be critical, that's why i have them slightly rated below the other 2 clans. Still only small things will make the difference, so everything can happen.

4. TJC
I'm rooting for them because of Rikku. But with Xenophon playing twice in stage 1 and Dr. Love's bad performance in stage 1 i have some doubts, that TJC will be able to compete with the 3 clans above. If Dr. Love finds back into his rhythm than i think TJC has the depth to challenge the other clans.

5. Statisticians
The depth will be the problem for the Statisticians. Math Wolf already played in 2 slots. Only 1 slot is left for him. Jackie Treehorn has 2 slots left. It will be really important for them to see, if Yeon and JuOx can carry other players as well, otherwise it will be very hard for them to compete with the other clans, due to depth issues.

6. LuFredd
I might underestimate LuFredd, but i doubt that they have the quality to compete with the other clans. I don't see the individual strengh to compete with the top players of the other clans. Team games will be very important for them, if they want to have a chance to beat out the others.


Edit: Good luck to all the clans. I hope it's going to be an exciting, intense and interesting fight for the 2 promotion spots.

I will wait with predictions until we know all the line-ups. Right now it can be only discussing whose clan icon is prettier.

Clan Icon Predictions:

---

Did someone say rank the clan icons? I have yet to meet a random off hand comment that I can't milk for posts. Time to rank the icons!

7th Heaven:


Fifth Column Confederation:


Hydra:


Lu Fredd:


Statisticians:


The Juggernauts Clan:


Fill out the poll fast! We need to rank these icons ASAP! What else are we to do for another week?

http://bit.ly/2qfPREj

Review of clan items.

6. Hydra: A boring letter. Their previous clan icon was waaaay cooler.

5. Lu Fredd: Two boring letters. They're less boring than the H, though.

4. Statisticians: MATH! I love me some math! But most people find math boring/scary.

3. Fifth Column Confederation: A shield and a couple of lines. Cool.

2. TJC. Some kind of bird, like an emblem. Fancier than FCC's shield.

1. 7th Heaven: Is that a motherfucking comet? Meteor? Meteorite? Asteroid? Does that signify the end of the world? Pack it up, boys! The world has ended, and we're in the 7th cloud.

Icon rankings

6 TJC. come on now, i'm approaching 106yo, how am i really meant to distinguish that blu-ish blur from the blackness?

5.FCC. Really not that much better, a slightly more well defined emblem than TJCs but still could be anything with my eyesight.... a toothpick? a belt? Whatever it is, it's not a column so really not relevant

4. 7th heaven. I see it!! It's a light bulb right? Light bulbs help me see, so kudo's for that and were the others not so wonderful would have got a higher ranking.

3. Hydra. It's an H, not a small H but a wonderfully big H which stands for Hydra. Simple, effective and brilliantly positioned. I turned this one upside down to check and it's totally flawless!!

2. Lu Fredd. DD.... Who doesn't like DD's? DD's rule the world, so warlight should be easily vanquished.
Whats more, if you look closely, they are very pert DD's. Not easy to find, especially with the DD's i get to see at my age.
Some might point out that H's are in fact bigger than DD's but H's are never so well shaped as DD's in my opinion

1.Statisticians. Ok, turn this one sideways lads... doesn't that draw your mind away from warlight for a second and make you think of even more pleasant games you could be playing? Hell, it's even got shading to show it's in sunlight! I don't need maths to tell me this is a winner.

Statisticians' icon makes me think of the stock market, and it's in decline. BEAR MARKET!!! Other than that, it's got pretty colors. Possibly deserves higher ranking.

Also, I read they are very pert DD's" as "they are very pervpert DD's"

6. Hydra - sorry, History Channel isn't as interesting as the actual HYDRA :x
5. 7th Heaven - I don't know what it actually is... and it's not very interesting
4. The Juggernauts Clan - pretty emblematic, but bad colours
3. Lu Fredd - black background always works, and there's nothing cooler than Comic Sans
2. Statisticians - one look and you already know what it is about, what's not to like?
1. FCC - black and white - classy. V shield and the line that looks like a sword along with it.

1. Statisticians (nice graph going there)
2. 7th Heaven (nice comet, my bros!)
3. FCC (woah we're still out in cosmos, this time a satellite woah)
4. Hydra (i rate this badly since the earlier one was so much better, this looks like an overweight H has diabetes has problems eating too much)
5. DD (red letters, I guess it's better than crap)
6. TJC (can't even see)

0. MARIO Clan

Are you all blind?

1 - Statisticians - I'm assuming that's a bell curve and that the red shaded part is representing that whoever is on the Stats is a couple standard devations above the mean. Meaning they're above average players.
2 - 7th Heaven - Space
3 - TJC - It's a nice bird. I'm assuming a phoenix.
4 - FCC - It's clean





69 - DD - Get it
70 - Hydra - Cool a uncool letter.

Good Icons
*7th- looks cool and it fits the FFVII theme. Fashion and function.
*Stats- Ugly as shit, BUT is arguably my fav as it keeps with the stats theme and has great symbolism of their players being on the top of the bell-curve
*TJC- Is arguably the freshest icon in C. The green and black do it for me, and there's a cool symbol. No theme though.
*Lu Fredd-As a rule, I don't like letters, but I like how their icon has transitioned what people call them to "DD."

Needs Improvement
*FCC-Icon just doesn't look cool, and the theme consistency isn't strong enough to overcome the lack of fashion.
*Hydra- Not terrible to look at as the "H" pops, but it's a letter. Boring.

I'll do my predictions once the lineups come out.

Edited 5/16/2017 00:25:17

Dr.Love is in Hydra now, hopefully he screws up intentionally his games for TJC so Hydra, his main clan, advances to division B! ;). I hear GE would kick him out of Hydra if he does too good for TJC (just kidding) :P.

• 1. FCC: a clean and crisp look. What does bias mean?
  
  
• 2. Statisticians: the idea is nice but it's just not aesthetically pleasing.
  
  
• 3. 7th Heaven: ??? When I think of 7th Heaven, I think of this wonderful, family television show - https://ibhuluimcom-a.akamaihd.net/ib.huluim.com/show/17959?region=US&size=952x536
  
  "Eric Camden is a reverend and the father of numerous children who faces the challenges of raising a family during permissive times. Both he and wife Annie deal with the problems of a large family while keeping their romance alive." Sounds binge-worthy to me!
  
  What is the deal with the comet? It's almost as if they're trying to reference that video game Final Fantasy VII...but what does that have to do with the show 7th Heaven??
  
  
• 4. TJC: reminds me of the mockingbird from The Starving Games, except with this grainy symbol, the revolution would fail and the people would starve. At least the capital's happy.
  
  
• 5. Hydra: https://ih1.redbubble.net/image.158316898.2338/flat,800x800,070,f.jpg
  
  
• 6. Lu Fredd: I'm sorry, it's just ugly. Maybe I shouldn't be the one talking though...

Edited 5/16/2017 03:52:54

7th Heaven has one of the best icons on WarLight. I tragically learned today just how afflicted our WarLight community is by chronic blindness for suggesting it anywhere but the top spot, and I send all of my love, care, and prayers to those who cannot see this indisputable fact.

Statisticians gets the job done; the suggestion in red that they're ahead of the bell curve is just aces.

FCC; crisp, clean, effective. FCC.

Hydra: The lesser of the single letter logos of WL. Still, it isn't objectively awful and proclaims to the world, "Hey, I'm in a clan that begins with the letter H." That's more than can be said of our last two participants...

Lu Fredd: is it Lu FreDD? What a misleading and ineffective logo. This icon feels slightly fuzzy from its type font unlike other, superior lettered logos.

TJC: What is that color scheme? Disgusting. Does TJC stand for Team Jalapeño Colored? Maybe that's Jesus on the cross with wings; The Jesus-Bird Clan? I'm not sure if I should recoil away for the vomit-on-pitch-black logo or the feeling that maybe I'm being prosthelytized to by some creepy cult. Away, foul beasts!
