@Very-Rusty saidYou say, "I mean at least 10 who want what you and Bish want. It has to be at least 10 or more." Which seems fair - depending on what we are talking about.
Trevor,
I still would like to see these clan leader you talk about speak up in this Thread. And I don't mean just Clan Leader Friends, I mean at least 10 who want what you and Bish want. It has to be at least 10 or more.
I disagree on 1200 being enough games, but of course that is to be decided by a majority not a chosen few!!! I believe Numbers do matter that is where we differ. It doesn't matter what 2 or 3 may want it is what does the majority want???

I have posted here that Russ will be setting up the 2026 development calendar soon, and have asked clan leaders and clan members to PM @Russ if they support the idea of a second clan competition in 2026.
I am not asking anyone to post here. No one has to post anything in the clan forum for or against. Everyone has to tell @Russ - the only person that matters.
If 10 clan leaders tell @Russ they support this, you are on-board? That is what I am reading? Russ won't do it if there is no interest. If there is interest - it sounds like you would be flexible to a one-year trial.
@Bish saidI will think about it if they can get 10 clans or MORE to send Russ a note. If the majority want it, who am I to disagree with it??? Like Ghost said and you did yourself doesn't matter one way or the other if I am here or not. In fact I think you both may like it if I wasn't here. Your wishes may come true.

I just want to make sure it is more than just a few of you who are voicing your opinions in here. Why bother to start with if notes are being sent to Russ???
Of course the 10 or more Clans that do this should be equal to each other not a couple of stronger clans and the rest all weak ones!!!

If you leave the site, the site will be less fun. Your time and energy is notable and welcome. You have made a difference - no one is arguing that.
@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidWrong opinion. VR has a ton of impact and pull within the clan system you obviously don't know the history behind Very Rusty. The owner also respects him as well. If he left yes our clan would be in a ton of trouble but so would his presence in the clan system.
I'm sure your exit would impact your clan, but it is an error to extrapolate that such an exit would have sitewide impact.
It wouldn't.
Also in the tournaments. He is known far more than you and the others. It's not even close. So when ideas come up or changes come up Rusty is one player who is listened to. When the changes happened I think it was in 2016 and there were several changes, Rusty's voice along with Fred's voice were the two that were listened to the most.
If you left the site other than a couple of people nobody would notice at all. You have made no impact. VR has made a huge impact on this site and most people know who he is.
Not being rude. That is just how it is.
@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidIt's to bad this is not English class Professor. It's chess and words don't help the clan system. And as far as I can see, you have not helped either.
Well, in the words of your hero Michael:, directed at myself:
"You are like a human dictionary and love words. I remember telling you years ago that you were brilliant in the way you speak."
@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidYou have that backwards. I am not VR hero, however I'd say he is one of mine. I have a few. My father who you are not even close to being the man he was, my Uncle, My mother, grandmother and one Aunt. I would say those are my hero's which Very Rusty is included. Hope that helps you.

@The-only-Mr-T saidI have no real issues with the clan system. They made quite a few changes in 2016 and it took some getting use to but it works out well. A Co Captain would be great. A separate rating just for clan players would be great.
There used to be a clan league, it died because there wasn't enough interest. It was a lot of games, but it was very successful for a long time. Unfortunately the site and the internet in general has changed since then.
No one wants to take away your clan championship every year, that'll stay the way it is until the site closes I believe. However, there can and shoul ...[text shortened]... something to increase interest. Do you have any ideas or are you just here to say no to everything?
I think 200 points between players in rating is perfect. Dropping it lower would just hurt the system. The 200 point difference has proven to be a great tool and it works.
Combining the clans that want to be combined would be another great idea. More clans, and you pick the players so the clans would be really good, and most likely contenders for the championship. So combining the clans that we can would be a great start.
@Very-Rusty saidI have a good relationship with almost all the clan leaders. I make sure I do. First, they have no clue about this cup thing and I can tell you most would not like any changes. I believe they would like the co captain because they can choose to use it or not. There would be some leaders that would go for combining clans but how many I am not sure. But both great ideas.
Trevor,
Now we are actually getting somewhere. I would like to hear from these imaginary clan leaders who show interest in this type of a clan feature, why have they not spoken up in this Thread. Bring them into the fold and lets see what they have to say on it.
Prove to me it is not just something yourself Bish and Ghost want so you can win at least somet ...[text shortened]... fficient. As I 've said I play that amount myself and more in the run of a year on this site.
-VR
Overall the leaders in my opinion don't like change and most likely why we don't hear from any of them on this topic.
Co captains and combining are the two we have a chance at the leaders agreeing with. Even that will take time. To many changes they will not go for it. And as you said, nobody has posted other than the three. Hardly a landslide. lol lol
Spot on Rusty as always. Good post.
@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidYou don't observe what goes on do you? To busy trying to be smart. When there are changes being made there are always three names in the mix. Let me help you.; Very Rusty, Fred, and Roma45. Those are the three that are always in the mix and Russ listens to them. They been here longer, they have all run clubs, leagues, clans, teams, and much more. They have done everything you have done but most likely much longer. So those three are listened to the most.
Option 1 - Leave your clan
Option 2 - Leave the site
Option 3 - Leave the planet
Again, these only impact on yourself.
Which means my friend that Rusty makes a huge difference on this site as well as the clan system and tournaments. Not to mention a greeter.
He has been involved in everything so that is why VR actually matters. You could leave and I don't think anyone other than your few friends would notice at all. What impact have you made? What changes have you been involved with?
The three I have mentioned have been involved with almost everything. One even helped with Coding I believe. I'm sorry, but you make no impact at all.
Rusty has made a huge difference since joining.
@The-only-Mr-T saidOur clan would not mind getting a kitten every year. Then we would donate it to families who want a kitten. See making a difference already. 🙂
We need a clan world cup. With a kitten giving to each member of the winning clan.
@Michael-Martin saidAgain sir, you've got that back to front.

It is not called spamming it is called remarking on comments made by different posters. You always seem to have a sour outlook on something you may not agree with.
But, Please don't call it something it isn't!!
Thank You,
Unlike you and I he is actually a clan Leader on this Site. A very good one I might add and disagree all you want the stats show that he is doing an excellent Job!!!

Actually That isn't the case at all no one cares about Caps or exclamation points.
The fact just may be that not enough people are actually in favour of your proposal.
I hope that doesn't hurt you feelings in anyway. This is a public forum and people don't agree on everything or even want to try to find a solution just something that will work for a few not the Majority of The Site Membership.
No one likes to be put down or bullied which seems to be the cause in some of the remarks I've seen made in this very thread.

Thank you for the back up, much appreciated at least by me. I is very nice to have the support and backing of one's Clan Leader. There are a group who want to have things THEIR WAY note the caps. 🙂 They are only a small group that want to dictate how things are done maybe 4-6 people I figure from what I've seen.
If you notice the same people want it, I don't have to name names as we can all see who they are. They want to win something which I can see, but it has to be something that more than 4-6 people are interested in, that is my opinion on the matter.
This conversation concerning a cup was worn out pages ago.

@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidLook at the posts before mine. It is you and the others talking about me non stop. I did not reply once. This time every post was in response to you and your silly opinions that once again add nothing to help the site or the clan system.
Again sir, you've got that back to front.
Seems to be a habit.
Edit: 7 posts in a row is clearly a spamming attempt to derail the thread and once again stifle discussion about new ideas to improve the clan system.
All I did was respond to when my name was used. Most of them anyway.
Don't use my name and I won't reply. I was polite in every single one of them. Certainly more polite than you have been.
If you don't like it I understand. Then don't use my name. It's really simple. Your posts are spam as you troll me and my name. And then question why I reply? Silly man. Trevor I think it was the one who was giving away kittens??? Maybe that would help your mood. 🙂
