Removal of Clan Claims

[Iban]

Well I do not approve, this has been part of clans since they began, I personally do not like the way clans are going, the whole point of a clan is not to pretend to make electricity.

-Support will fight this to the end, I can promise you this will not go through.

Dryblood, just because you are an admin, it doesn't make YOU in charge of what goes or does not go through via suggestions. You can't promise squat.

Allow me to ask for a bit of enlightenment on some of your arguments:

-"I personally do not like the way clans are going, the whole point of a clan is not to pretend to make electricity."

In other words, I believe you're referring to more "passive" clans, with less to do with guns? From the attitude reflected in your post, and the types of words used, I'd imagine that you prefer "action involving firearms".

However, because one man cannot "define" the "point" of a clan, or to be precise, a group of people as a standard to everyone, I have to ask:

Is gathering up a mob, arming them and terrorising those who aren't a part of said group the purpose of "clans"? For some, it may be so.

However, this "crusade" of seeking power and control, will negatively affect anyone who happens to be caught up in it. In the end, what will "total control" net the clan? "Safety" to RP? Unhindered making of cash? Or the feeling that you're on top of the foodchain, where everyone is below you?

You can claim you have rights for this and that, and we don't.

What makes you think that? Because the bad people will force me to my place if I don't comply? The way I remember it, every man is born equal and has a right to practice business as they see fit.

Can I therefore get your definition of a clan's purpose?

-"This has been part of clans since they began". True. A group of people has always sought dominance over others, ever since the early days of mankind. Be it through finances, military, politics or something else.

Why is that? Because we are scared. Scared for our own lives and well-being, and lack the trust to other people. It would be Utopian to think we're past that fear. Even in CityRP, this cannot be achieved. Hell, it's not even the purpose.

Call me a socialist, but if these claims are removed, clans will have less reason for "war". Of course, if war against another group is what a random person is looking for, may I suggest they find a clan in another game more revolved around the idea of filling your opponents with lead, rather than a sandbox game and particularly the Fearless Server, revolving around building and "pretending" to be something they are not while they "pretend to make electricity".

That's all I've got to say for now. I'll look forward to hearing your response.
