Few things I would like to speak my mind on:
It seems that AC goes through this monthly cycle of clans failing and then many more coming back with different names just to fail and start over (not a rant). It spams the forums I think and makes it hard for everyone to keep up with.
What should happen:
There are PLENTY of good successful clans in AC, join one, don't start one. Check the wiki clan list and you can find a list of 50+ active clans right there. Before you go and start a clan, ask yourself: Would it be better if I just joined another? The reason clans fail is because some of the members feel that being a regular member is b-o-r-i-n-g, so then they leave, attempt their own clan, only to find it fail. Everyone has the need to be in power. Guess what? In any country, there is only one ruler or president (clan leader) with his government to try and help him (moderators) and then the people that actually make it a success (members).
If every single AC player owned a clan, there would be absolutely no point. Everyone feels the need to have their own clan for some reason. I feel that being a member for any official successful clan on the wiki is an honor in itself. I feel that this is getting ridiculous but people are free to do what they want. Clans need members. That's the point of a clan: to be a member and compete with other members from other clans.
I don't know if this has been talked about much but I think this is beginning to run down the ultimate feel for AC. There should only be so many clans. You can ignore them, yes but that's not the point. It ruins the old and really good clans. What I would like to hear is everyone elses opinion on the matter. I'm aware that people can do what they want. Maybe use this as a thought before making your own clan.
For those of you that know me:
I joined a clan as a member, the leader quit, then I took over and the clan has been going for more than 6 months now. That's how you do it if you ask me.
