just something to consider that im bringing up.- Dont let more than 120 people into wg. Whenever we hit 140+ we go into a recession again and we don;t focus on community. At 120 members community needs to stay super good and then slowly raise.

Wrong. We had 250 members and had a great community.

Although I don't want that many members again..unless we get a good form of multi-pking again...

no, the community looked good but when you entered the irc, you had know clue who half the people were....sure the irc was active and stuff but not knowing who 1/5 of the clan is in a 250 person clan is a lot...and way to much...250 people is what you call a tunescape, and thats bad.

kiwi is right. and wrong.

250 members is bad. community was gud imo but thats because i was real close in it. I was there for awhile so alot of people knew me and so did the new people. But with that said 250 members only like 100 are irc active. Out of no where u get those 1 of 150 that arnt active come in and your like wtf why are u voiced or who are you.

Also within 250 members alot of favouritism was there and some people weren't recognized.

120 member cap would be awesome imo.

With 250+ members many felt like part of a community, however this was because there was alot of fragmentation within the clan. People seemed to kind of form their own close unit of friends and ignore more everyone else. There were strong communities within the clan, but the clan itself had a weak community. People did not know one another, there was rampant inactivity, and new members often were neglected and did not feel at all like part of the community.

I've never ever done that good on a war, I managed to be the first person getting to the target after everyone gets hugged around walls like 10 times tongue.gif

I am sorry I missed! I would rather have been at the war than at my father-in-laws funeral. The grave side military honors were wonderful, but I cry every time I look at the folded up flag.

250 members is of course excessive but 120 is not enough.
Look at the "WG final list" or whatever the one is that should still be on Runehead. At that time community was fine and there were 170.


There is not a certain number that results in a diminishing of community. It is TOTALLY based on who the members in the clan are at the time. I don't think looking at the past and deciding to limit the clan now is a good call.
