Rule Proposal for Individuals Creating New Clans

[Stoat]

I think no. I don't think being part of a faction necessarily enlightens anyone to the finer points of faction creation within Discovery. Being an active member of the forums does give a better idea, but even then there's no guarantee that the ideas which are then expoused are going to be any better.

I think the current way works best. People will either

1 - Come up with a good idea, which is well researched, and the community will go Yay
2 - The idea will need work, pointers will be posted an the emerging faction evolves into something that makes the community go Yay
3 - The idea gets shot down.

So leave it as it is.

Edit: I do agree that the only reason to create a clan is if it is going to add to the community in some way. I think the main reason for the "go join a clan first" reaction is that some of the clans that are proposed already exist on the server. It's in those cases that joining the existing clan is a good way to go. Then, if the clan doesn't fit what they want to do, they can RP a split from the existing clan to form a subgroup.
