[Maniaplanet] Clan managment

[weerwolf]

You need to understand that not everyone enjoys using forums or websites and never intend to, anyway in-game notifications would be helpful still, not everyone checks forums all the time and if they check it early in the day and the clan plans an event half way through the day why should they be excluded ?

Well, thats not to understand.. but depends on how a clanfounder leads his clan in the way he/she thinks is right. On LYNX is a rule to visit the site/forum, or else you would be in the wrong clan. And for us these rules work just fine.

Everyone wants their clan to be active but i seriously doubt your way is anyway to do it, it might work for some players but not everyone, aslong as they play the game actively what does it matter how much they check the forums/website

Well, it does matter. Because if no one would do that i would have repeat a simple change to a server 50 times for every member i encounter online. Unless a clanmanagement function in game would have some kind of news system it would not work.

I gotta agree with Noctrum here...because for me especially, it's easier to access everything from one area rather than having to search high and low for all the info I need...it would be really cool if the ManiaBrowser was even more of a use in this incarnation of TM, then TM could be totally self-sufficient...you could even maybe run it off of an iPhone! Joke...but think how cool a PORTABLE TM would be. Slide up the race in one corner, the live stats in the other, and future matches below that. It would be like a sports event!

I don't say there will be, but if we would approach this question, we would more offer some connectors for the community to make clan features instead of making them ourselves. Clan is too expert and diverse to be wholly defined. If we have time, we would do a feature or two, but I think it would be better to have it a little open. For exemple, I would rather say that each clan can have it's own manialink adress, but I am not sure that we should define too much the structure to be founded at this address.

I think this is the best way, just some few features would be cool enough in my opinion.
Maybe only one thing , if in your profile you can write your own "team tag" in its own textbox so when you play there is your nickname and your team tag in 2 different places...but this is really a small stuff(not so important too)

Yea, it would really be great if it was integrated in the profile, with a special field.
That would be nice, to have a dedimania-like that shows which team has the most online records for example.

My point is not every clan is like yours and not having a function that would be useful to lots and useless to others is pointless when the clans that have no use for it don't need to use it, that's what i meant.

Agree, but that what Hylis ment too, its too diverse too make such thing in game. But i back the option for a 'field' in the profile. Better have some basic function you 'can' use instead of missing them Cheriooo!
