Clans, Guilds, and Alliances in the online gaming community are groups
of people who come together under a group title. Their purposes can vary
from that of protection of group members in a defensive manner,
offensive manner, territory control, or a hybrid of all three. Clan
efficiency is gained through effective communication amongst each other.
War
Commander is no different. These Clans exist in many, if not all,
sectors of War Commander. Although the clan name may not be visible in
players' name, they MOST often identify themselves with "badges" that
are unique to that Clan, and are usually circular images edited onto the
players' profile picture.
Often, the largest and most dominant
Clan in a sector, set the unofficial rules for what is and is not
acceptable in-game behavior. This means, if Clan A has members that make
up 80% of the bases in that sector, they have the ability to control
the actions of the other 20%. This can happen by intimidating
non-members (whom can be members of other Clans as well) into
compliance, through threats of consistent base destruction, or
surrounding their base with platoons; not allowing a non-member to
leave, without being attacked. So for example, Clan A says "Nobody is
allowed to attack the bases or deposits of Clan A members, without
express permission from Clan A leadership; otherwise face seven days of
base destruction (aka. Damage Protection; aka. DP; aka. Bubbling),
and/or having all of your current deposits taken from you by other Clan
members."
Non-Members are not "required" to comply with dominant
Clan rules, and can play the game however they please. They just should
be aware that their game can become unenjoyable, due to harrassment from
a large group of people. Often, due to harrassment from a dominant
Clan, non-members form their own Clans specifically to fight back, and
protect themselves from the other Clan(s); thus repeating the process.
This is what leads to sector wars between rival Clans. It can also lead
to non-members joining a pre-existing Clan, or just relocating to
another sector. This makes it very difficult for players who do not
belong to any group, to gain deposit territory, or even retaliate
against a Clan member who attacked them first.
Understand that
these Clans are not ALL necessarily hostile. Often, non-members can have
very positive interactions with Clan members, such as: Freely giving
non-members deposit territory; allowing a non-member to attack an
intentionally vulnerable resource container (to transfer resources);
assistance in depleting higher level rogue defense forces, to allow the
non-member to destroy the containers and command centers easily, and so
on. Each Clan reflects the policies in which the leadership establishes
for initial and continued membership. So if a group is formed solely to
attack other players, then that is what that group will do. If they are
formed just to defend each other, and won't attack unless provoke; then
that is what they do. Sometimes bad apples misrepresent the Clan, and
can establish a bad image for the organization as a whole.
When
rival Clans clash, they often eventually come to a truce/ceasefire,
formally ending offensive operations against each other. Sometimes,
during the peace process, they form Alliances, where the two or more
Clans group together, thus uniting their causes. This creates a two tier
system of membership, where the Clans not only look after their own
group, but also look to protect the best interest of the Alliance as a
whole, which means defending Clan B as well, and vice-versa for Clan B
protecting Clan A.
