Well also how good a clan depends which type it is.
types of clans have seen
Quantity Clans/Community-clans that focus mainly on getting a lot of players or building a huge community e.g regl viw
Quality/Elitist-Clans that focus mainly on player skills e.g apex ahol rp elite
Semi-Elistist-Average clan on warlight with requirements that the average player can meet warlighters mc
Regional Clans-Clans that are for people who live in a certain region e.g yanshou(chinese characters)
Training Clans-Ones which train players e.g x
Troll Clan-Clans which are made by trolls used to troll the forum e.g coldblood m99 unbeaten
Stage Clans-clans which are made when a player is in stage when they want a clan but stage clans become either fully inactive or they remain one member forever
close friends Clans-for just friends rp apex ahol LDD
Clan Disclaimers-they claim they are not clans but operate same way x FBG 101st regiment
Interest clan-Clans who are a clan united by one common interest for example like football FBG

depending on which category you clan is in you have different things to do become good.

ah that's what i was trying to say and im not trying to be mean to Arun but i thouht Warlighters was a "community clan"

am i mistaken?

Well warlighters is a mix of semi-elitist which are average clans with requirements and a community clan.

clown clan - RSP

ironheart: "warlighters is a mix of semi-elitist which are average clans".... r we talking about the same clan?

whats their initiation test for Warlighters?

This cool i got my own personal troll top that REGL john mine not only follows me in the forumn but games i play and host! but M99 could you keep your trolling to me and not my other members in my clan since you dont know them?

Referring back to page 1 hey said "A good clan is happy with itself and does not care about the opinions of outsiders"--- Nailed it.
While I have never been the best player in whichever clan I was part of (WM or CPU), I most certainly can lay claim to being the most reliable. Each of us play this game for different reasons- some for fun (me), some for distraction, and some as an outlet for a competitive spirit. Whatever the underlying motivation- when you join a game I consider that a commitment to your teammates, unless of course it is a 1v1.
@ineffable- the purpose of a clan (at least ours) is garnering reliable teammates. If I join a game with other CPUers I know that there is a greater than 90% chance no one will get booted, and that I won't be playing with a total noob. I don't mind getting beaten, in fact sometimes it is fun to see another team that plays at an ultra high level, but losing cuz your teammate(s) went AI just sux. The rest- clan wars, etc... is just gravy.
This is kinda crossing over into the other clan thread. But I will also add there is another benefit. While it is true that virtually anything that can be accomplished within the confines of a clan can also be done outside of that structure- you can find someone you really gel with that you may never had opportunity to "start a game with" in the general community. There is also a sharing of ideas/strategy that is not freely given in normal gameplay.
That being said it is not for everybody- some are too individualistic to "compromise" their identity- but for others it is just another level to the game that makes it even more enjoyable.

@ineffible semi-elitist is what every average clan are since they do have requirement which is beating one of their players so that makes them a semi-elitist/average clan.
