@Ox:
To be fair, I'm not going to claim that as a victory of any kind. Getting a player to join is one thing- making sure that the clan does everything it can to meet their interests is another, and it's the second one that I care a lot more about. And I think we can do a lot more for our top strategic players (and for our strategic players in general).

Explaining Falcon Problems and Providing Fix Colonel- Everybody Wants to Rule the World (Tears for Fears) Fix- Kick him out. No Clan Games- We had some forum games. About two. We had tournaments. HAD. We had fun. Key- More community Constitution: Over complicated system with too many loopholes. Key- Small Government Democracy- Unstable and low voter participation. Fix- Representative government Reputation- Donald Trump Fix: Get rid of Colonel

PM me with a list of players from your clan (up to 20) and I'll set up an inter-clan diplo.

maybe the people running things are more interested in role playing clan government. that's all fine and dandy, but most of your clan is probably more interested in playing actual games of warlight. with all that time spent writing a loooong constitution, you could have made tons of games and tournaments instead.
if you have a big ass clan you can't expect more than a handful to care about a fake government that has zero impact on the actual game. if i wrote something that long and unentertaining i wouldn't expect anyone to read it.

Reading these posts makes me extremely hesitant to join a clan, even though I previously wanted to. I thought clans were formed just as a way to encourage competition, not as a way to establish power over a tiny fiefdom.

These clans happen because people create political parties, consitutions, laws, clan religions, clan taxes and a hundred other things that have nothing to do with beating your enemy. Clan Falcon is Exhibit A. There is no clan drama about clans that focus on strategic play.

^ Generally true, but I think there's a few small points:
- Strategic play, despite what you and I probably believe, is not the only legitimate form of play. Clans like {rp} also have an excellent track record of not ending up in drama. The key, I'd say, is therefore actually focusing on play- regardless of what kind, as long as it's not lotteries. Maybe not even play in general- you could easily have a more extreme version of a clan like Statisticians that serves as a hidden forum for statisticians to congregate on Warlight. That would still avoid the drama. Maybe it's just about actually doing something as a clan instead of just playing politics and creating drama.
- There is still plenty of drama about clans that focus on strategic play. They just do a better job of handling it because they've got much more efficient (less playing politics, more solving problems they're likely to run into) management structures that are built around the realities of Warlight.

^knyte is the only person that talks sense. But clan drama, once you get involved, is addictive.

Clan drama is annoying as heck, which is why I run it out of town with pitchforks when it does happen. Illuminati is mostly rock-solid and forever shall be.
