A lot of people seem to express the opinion that clans would lead to "cheating" in FFAs, but that happens all the time in them now with friends joining and working together to kill everyone else. Clans would not make this any easier to do, but would make it easier to identify them.

@raver: Limiting clan players outside of a clan only game would seem to me to be unfair to those of us who can play this game honestly without placing any real restriction on people who are already "cheating". I can understand why you would choose to avoid those games, but assuming everyone in any clan is a bad person out to screw others is a personal choice and shouldn't be forced on others.

double accounts, or family are more likely to cooperate beyond the reasons of logic, and including a greater bias, then the average clansman..

I understand not everyone is a cheat, I don't mean to imply all clan members are. but there's no way to know who are the decent players and who are the teamers. You're right it does go on anyway but I feel with official clan features this would happen far more often if some safeguard wasn't in place.

you cant stop people from teaming up. If they are going to do it they will do it regardless of whether there is a clan system or not.

think about the 2v2 ladder where 2 players play at least 2 games together constantley. whats the difference between these partners being able to team up in FFA and clan members

i dont see anybody complaining because they have experienced anyone in the 2v2 ladder cheating in FFA so why is it more likely to happen with clan members

So now that we've beat the hell out of the cheating topic for the hundredth time, what do you guys have to say about the system I've proposed? any changes or suggestions for other features to be added or taken out of it?

I like it. I would love to see it implemented.

I'll act like I can speak for FBG and say that we don't care.

hahaha, last I heard you didn't consider yourselves a clan :P has that changed?
