Clans - thoughts
I have seen the secret underground culture that is -- WC3 clans.
What is it with the clans? you find clans in every game you play, but what does being in a clan do for you? as far as I can tell, nothing much.
There is a clan ladder, ranking within the damn clan, all kinds of clan BS that really doesn't mean anything other than the fact that you take the game WAY more seriously than you EVER should.
I consider myself an avid video game player -- but I just cannot see the logic in getting involved in some kind of group that just wants you to spend even more time on the game than you ever do, and be more competitive about it than you already are!
So, you clans out there, have you ever thought about how much time you are spending on these games? Counter-Strike, Warcraft 3, America's Army, leasing servers, putting up clan websites, and playing for more hours every week than you probably spend working?
I am not, have (almost) never been, and will probably never be a member of a "clan", and I really enjoy the wide scope of games that I play! Someday i'm gonna start an all-purpose clan for people who hate to be obligated to clans. It'll be called Alcazabedabra's Motley Crew, and anyone who wants to be part of it can just add the prefix [AMC] to the beginning of their net names, and call yourselves a clan.
Email me if you have thoughts, but otherwise just leave me alone and enjoy being in a clan.
