Title: Member Limit.
Post by: Gyu~ru~ru on February 21, 2007, 05:08:37 AM
There should be a limit of 30/50/100 members max per clan. Huge clans with over 100 members can't even keep track of their own members or are just filled with inactive low DK players to boost the clan's position in the Hall of Fame.

Clans grow and thrive. You can't put a limit on that.

You'd be seeing more sub-clans of clans that were already filled.

I don't think this should have a limit. it's not important.

Clan leaders usually keep the inactive around for thier Dk's and Player kills. Instead of limiting members maybe it's time for neji to gather around all the Moderators and start eliminating the inactive. Early SPring CLeaning. :twisted: I'm not kidding. I really think this should happen so clans won't boost thier dk count with inactive players. But i'm not sure that the mods have enough time to do this :P

You already mentioned the inactive players before, asdjkl, and the answer was: It's working like it should. =)

I don't see any member names in that post that we can refer to. Find people that have exceeded the 45 day limit (that weren't mods) and prove your point, please.

yes sir  :) I'm sorry that i'm making you get aggitated but i don't see any reason that i've given you to be that way. Edit: By the way, The Notorious Lord Kaervek hasen't logged on in 45 days, tommorrow i guess it'll be 46. I'll just wait to see if he's erased :) Unless he told someone that he was going away for while

And I'm not aggitiated, I'm trying to get you to back up your claim.

Same. My clan, the Masked Bandits has 183 members currently and I keep track of our members. I tihnk we have 10-15 inactive members, all academy students in <tMB>.
Title: Re: Member Limit.
Post by: Arpax on February 23, 2007, 03:20:02 PM
Im in <sk> and we usually delete are inactive acads,but keep are genin and up for the dk.So i think there shouldnt be a limit ,because every clan can thrive, because of that reason.
Title: Re: Member Limit.
Post by: Gyu~ru~ru on February 23, 2007, 04:34:37 PM
Then the clan ratings should be removed from the Hall of Fame. With 300++ members, of course <SK> is on top of everything. Just likehow <AKA> was back in the old days.

You guys ever heard of quality over quantity?
Title: Re: Member Limit.
Post by: SolAlwyn on February 23, 2007, 06:12:02 PM
Thats not true, Supreme Lords has more DKs, with less then a third the members.

Drago?

I'm not against a member limit, but it is harder to mantain a "family" like status if the clan has to many members.

But founders with clans that made their way to the top of the HoF because of their numbers in members don't get it.

The reason why we see so many clans with less that 10 members is because there is no limit to the larger clans.

Several down side to this:

What are you going to do with <sk> and <aka> and such? Delete their members?

Suppose you make a limit, and the clan becomes full. Now one of their friends comes and wants to join. What do you say? No or yes and kick one of your members out and cause hatred? Unless you put the limiit extremely high ( which would probably be the same as no change) the limit is going to cause problems.

There's a lot of other games like this one where there are clans with lots of members. It's life i tell you.
Title: Re: Member Limit.
Post by: Demon Bandit Taumaster on February 24, 2007, 02:27:58 AM
So your saying you would delete the members of The Masked Bandits? I think my clan contains a family like status even with 185 members. We get along great and talk with eachother all the time in the clan halls.
Title: Re: Member Limit.
Post by: asdfjkl on February 24, 2007, 04:14:01 AM
I say no to member limit :) I don't see why it's such a big problem besides that it boosts the stats of clans. But thats not that much of a problem
Title: Re: Member Limit.
Post by: NaraLong on February 24, 2007, 05:53:49 AM
well...
i guess <sk> gets many pages of chat in the clan halls every day :P a bit hard to have a conversation or anything...
Why care about giant clans? Do they affect YOU in any way at all?
and again, why care about inactive DK boosting players? Do they affect you?
Just leave them be :P

just thought i should mention all the characters you added to our clan <SOS> including gyu, and tell me that wasnt to get us up in the HoF

Most games have a limit to how many members you can have. SL doesn't.

What are you going to do with <sk> and <aka> and such? Delete their members?
They wouldn't be able to accept anymore new members.

I say no to member limit :) I don't see why it's such a big problem besides that it boosts the stats of clans. But thats not that much of a problem
it makes the ranking in the HoF unfair.

What I did WAS meant to boost <SOS>'s ranking in the HoF.

I'm still going to have to say no to this.

Post by: ryushi on February 24, 2007, 04:37:55 PM
As much as this doesn't affect me now, areound 8 members, I don't think it'll be happening......
Title: Re: Member Limit.
Post by: RAIKIRI on February 24, 2007, 11:47:11 PM
alrght so they couldnt accecpt any more members. The leaders arent going to be happy. All clan leaders have a goal to get more members. Imaging sk stpping at 350 and Tmb at 180. Tmb wants that first place title so badly. But becuase of this limit, they have to stay forever in second place. This also raises up the other questions, what if a friend wants to join a full clan? What would happen if suddenly all clans stop at 100 members and there would basically be no more member rankings. Everyone would be in 8th place  or such because <Aka> <Sk> <Tmb> etc. locked up the first few positions.

... And let's not forget that if clans have a member limit that they would kick out the Academy students - Jounin out of all their clans for higher ranking people... for HoF purposes.

Yes thats what I just thought of as well.

This limit just has too many negatives, and puts too much restrictions on clans.

Then the smaller clans will have a chance to grow.
Title: Re: Member Limit.
Post by: LeafToad on February 25, 2007, 06:59:47 PM
Then the smaller clans will have a chance to grow.

I think it'd be more like: The smaller clans want to grow, but they also want the top number in DK's, player kills and other clan things in the HoF, and essentially just be a leet clan, but since there is a limit, they'll only take people who are already experienced at a high rank at that juncture, so the Academy Students are left out still.

And since the Academy Students - Chuunin can't make clans of their own, they will be practically begging to get into a clan, most likely the majority of the people that can't get in will quit the game.
Title: Re: Member Limit.
Post by: RAIKIRI on February 26, 2007, 05:40:10 AM
actualy, i dont think they'll quit, just strive harder to reach jounin ;)

I agree, the acads will be left out alot and the presnet clans who have like 90 members with 80 acads will most likely kickout those acads to make room for higher ups if number of members dont make any difference.

In other words, those clans keep lots of acads to raise their clan ranking in members, with a limit, there will be no use in keeping lots of low dk members and you will probably rarely see an acad in a clan.

Gyu, not to be offensive or anything, your fighting on the losing side of an argument.

Code of Shoku stared last November. We have had our ups & down, but now we have a great group of guys & gals. Through all of this one thing has remain constant - We are all like family, and you can't put a limit on family....nor break a family up, period.

Post by: RAIKIRI on February 28, 2007, 12:46:30 AM
I agree with kboogi, number should not affect how close the members are. Take <Sk> for example, i know personally that they are all very close.

Btw,

Kboogi, your alt started Code of Shoku?
Title: Re: Member Limit.
Post by: Shukaku on February 28, 2007, 12:51:50 AM
I don't think his alt created Code of Sho... lol  :-?
Kboogi's just right about what he said ! gogooo family !  :P
