Now, I know that I have been away for some time and that some things may have changed, however clans almost certainly haven't.
In theory, clans are a good idea.
In practice they never work.
This happens for many reasons:
1)
FlyOrDie quite obviously made Tanx a 1 player game, no aspect of the game has been designed for clans (For instance tournaments are only idiviadual, there are no team tournaments).
2)
After a while, everyone in that clan stops caring. Enthusiams is burnt out and despite the Clan's 12 yr old leader's best efforts the clan falls to peices.
3)
Clans can't/don't compete for power (because of non-existance of tournaments and the fact that clan wars are a big bag of bolocks). This means that there is NO PURPOSE for a clan to even exist. Which means that it was a WASTE OF TIME. Clever people (usually the best players) regognised this and don't play (which is why any clan is quite frankly full of idiots and newbs).
End of part 1,
Suit you sir.
