If you ask me for a clan match I decide if i wanna answer yes or no, not you!
What the hell is disrespectful by saying "no, i dont want to" or "no, i dont have time"?
Damn, i cant stop laughing about that....
If you mean a clan can ask and the other clan HAS to play then fuck this game and fuck the clans in it (clans that means you HAVE to play when asked)!
I play on the clan im in and my terms, not some random clan connecting to a server and keep bugging me for a clan match.
i dont understand why you start your post with laughter and then start swearing and carrying on. how do you argue with people in the real world?
clans in AC are based around playing matches together, no matter how much your clan has mutated away from this. i understand doogums' point on the power of friendship, but that comes from playing games together. time to repeat myself(again). despite what you think, you CAN have friends in AC without needing to share the same tag. if you need a tag to be friends with someone you clearly don't have much in common.
i also understand that alot of the players in the game(you) just want to play AC to chill out and play pubs, but you don't need a tag to do that. you're defeating the purpose of a clan if you don't play matches together.
nobody is forcing you to play matches, because if you were being forced you would be playing matches non stop, right? its an accepted truth that DES haven't played a match since i was in it, so people stop asking you lot after the first few times.

But there is a point where playing an intra clan with whoever is available is more beneficial than aliasing and playing an inferior clan. That point is clear cut and in black and white to me. Also, the behavior displayed and the intentional dishonesty that represents the series of actions from when matches are being turned down to switching to aliases to 'successfully' play a match goes back to what I said prior. It's bad form.yeah, i don't alias to find matches, we get better competition out of picking up random mid skill players who haven't played a match in ages, so that's what we usually do when there is nobody to play.
people who play matches often just get angry at how illogical some players are, and don't understand why they are in a clan if they don't play clan matches, and often will just go and piss them off. i share their opinion.

Believe me, I want all the shotgunning noobs removed just as quickly as you do. I think there are different attitudes and a big problem is the attitude taken by the uber competitive. Specifically them not being cognizant of the different AC personalities and skill levels and respecting those needs. I'm not saying being uber competitive is a bad thing at all, it helps to create progress and growth. I for one believe the challenge of playing higher skilled players is the way to improve yourself. But not everyone thinks the same way, and that's the way it is.i would attribute this to the way shotgun's are in 1.1. people who are at the top end of skill can't do any better in pubs than people who use shotguns unless they're experienced in killing new players, which isn't skillful at all. bad players can do semi-ok with shotgun and become content with it, without improving at all. hence, we now have very little new players entering competitive play because there is no motivation to get better. i'd honestly just have the shotgun removed if i was in charge, since it doesn't fit AC's gameplay at all, but i'm sure someone could suggest a better solution that makes shotgun harder to use and rewards skill.

All of the clan structure in AC needs a revamping, Id like to see a clan leader council.
(If I knew pic editing an awesome pic would follow showcasing the AC famous clan leaders (as player models) around the council desk of LOTR motion picture).
