Clan ladder would only work with proper clan support in the lobby. Otherwise you would just get players renaming to help out some lower down clan for one game. Or more likely the social clanners would just rename to be in the clans at the top :p

I dont see why people are complaining here... one player ID <-> one clan will mainly be for decent players who want to play competitive team games. I dont think any of the [lol][7up]nub multi clan players will be affected at all cause they are neither decent or competitive :)

Best solution has already been mentioned: use tags as part of the name for autohost balancing and implement a separate system for active clans.

No that has nothing to do with lobby support, its an issue of having decent organisation for the ladder. And a ladder can be organised through lobby or completely independent of it.

Yeah it could work I guess, I just said it wouldnt. I'll rephrase: it would be a lot easier and a lot more likely if we had clan support in the lobby.

I heard ages ago aegis saying his new server would allow proper clans, what happened to that?

Is there a game where some sort of clan support is integrated to the game/lobby? None that I know of.

Then how many games are there with clan ladders or leagues that work.

You obviously haven't played many games.

;D

Yep maybe I havent... But point still stands, having competition doesnt have to rely on program-side support.

Im not competitive because I make alot of heavy claims, and if I played spring I might make a mistake and lose a game.
