What clan has the most to offer?

After a quick check of the 4 or 5 clans in MK at this time it seems that the Wolf Clan does most the posting under this Forum but I am curious what others have to say about theirs and post this question to all.

Is your clan simply an exuse to build up force and wipe out enemies or is it more of a family where are clan members are made to be equal through group effort?

Lord McRoach,

I cannae disparage the other Clans for we all have something to offer. It all depends on what you are looking for.

What are you looking for?

Nobody has been in every clan- and only such a person could truly say which is "best."

Posted by: McRoach 12-Sep-2008, 09:35 AM
I ask which is best meaning who supports each member by building them up to reach maximum potential and perhaps it is a question best posed to all clan leaders. I was just interested to see who would step up and declare the greatest devotion to their clan brothers/sisters. After all a wise leader will tell you that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

I'm sure that all clans have something to offer and perhaps, being new to the game I was just curious to see feedback from those who have benefited the most from how the clan has helped them.

Posted by: TheCarolinaScotsman 12-Sep-2008, 11:18 AM
One clue you might look for is to read all the posts in this forum to see which members seem always to be involved in controversy and who has made"helpful" posts. In my opinion, you may tell a lot about a clan by the way its members act. I'm sure all clans think they are the best; that's akin to asking a group of parents who has the best looking baby. smile.gif

Good point. I'll be sure and do that. Thanks!

We have a Clan Ranking page completed on the new website.

Does anyone know if the game limits the number of people in a Clan. I see there are 2 clans that have 11 and 12 members.

biggrin.gif I guess it's ok to post this! It seems as though Clan MacInnes is the NUMBER 1 ranking clan in all of the Medival Clans! Maybe a party with good music, food, drink and company!

I was in Clan Wolf, and even though I left there my experience with the members there was pleasant and family oriented. They look out for each other and help the weaker players while asking nothing in return. My reasons for leaving were personal and had nothing to do with the clan as a whole or against any particular member. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about them and feel they would be a find clan for any member, especially a new member needing guidance.

Posted by: 007dust 04-Oct-2008, 07:04 PM
Well it's been a bit and I'm now in clan Bruce. It looks like were holding on to third place, and considering we only have 3 members that's a strong showing indeed. I'm confident if we get some strong members to join our cause we will stay amongst the top ranking clans in the future as well.

I encourage you to not confuse "strong" with "high score." Granted, you used the two terms separately here, but it may lead to confusion among others.
I will grant you that Clan Bruce indeed has the highest-scoring players, however I question if you're indeed strong kingdoms.
With the exception of Militia (which both of you seem to favor) I have more of every type of combat unit than either of you. In many cases, as many as four or five times as many same-type units.
This, while my score is less than half of Shenanaiganz's. smile.gif

Posted by: 007dust 04-Oct-2008, 11:16 PM
Ah Subhuman, we can always count on you to point out the obvious now can't we?

I indeed meant it as implied and know that I am far from the best or strongest player because I'm number two in the scores. I even pointed this out here:
http://www.celticradio.net/php/forums/index.php?showtopic=12439 Where I said, "Several players in this game have alot less workers than I do and my score reflects this, but you can bet their armies are alot bigger than mine". I know you and many others have been here much longer than I and have chosen to more slowly and subtlety build, and have far greater sized armies than I do. I guess it's simply a matter of choice how you play the game. I'll even go as far as to admit I probably would have been better off growing more slowly and giving myself time to build a more formidable military for my current ranking. We'll just see how that pans out I guess, perhaps I will survive, perhaps not.

Not all of us are blessed with the 'Time Machine' you seem possess. smile.gif
I made my post at 10:18PM, you made yours at 10:52PM.

I might instead claim that you seem to be stating obvious- your comment about kingdom army sizes came after I pointed it out to you. smile.gif


Posted by: Shenaniganz247 04-Oct-2008, 11:50 PM
Well I guess it's a good thing this game has become more of a strategy and building game than that of the war and rioting that was on before or else mine and 007dust's rears would be spanked quite easily huh Sub?

And I know that you and a lot of others could overtake the top 2 or 3 spots quite easily if you wanted to but choose not to so that you are not limited such as we are as to who we want to strike if needed. I remember your posts about not assigning all of your workers so that your score would remain lower. I unfortunately such as in life can not save money for the life of me LOL. as soon as I get the gold in my hands I have to spend it somehow. That may be my downfall in the long run, but I don't feel i'm in any danger as of right now as to being attacked as I have allies and friends in this game. Who knows tho. this game can become crazy at a moments notice. I"m quite enjoying the way the game has been going as of late, as I think most of those attacked early in the game are not worrying so much about being attacked anymore. I"m sure all of that will change eventually but I have no targets on my radar smile.gif

And we are still in the number 1 spot, so just what does that say for Clan MacInnes biggrin.gif

Posted by: 007dust 05-Oct-2008, 09:42 PM
Well you do have the biggest clan, (and the first if I'm not mistaken?) so if you didn't have number one something woudn't be right there.

Posted by: Shenaniganz247 03-Nov-2008, 01:20 AM
I think that at this point in the game, the top 3 clans listed in the rankings would be helpful to anyone in need of guidance or assistance in the game. I know in the Bruce Clan we have a wide array of Lord's and Lady's from the top ranking members to the just newly started ones and find benefits with this. I'm sure Clan MacInnes is a fine clan as well, you could not have 15 to 20 members and not be a fine clan for sure. The game is getting interesting in some points tho I must say that, you always have to keep on your toes no matter what clan you are in.

Alrighty then. Sláinte.

Now, Games like this, you can't really tell about a Clan until your in it, which pretty much makes the person joining a Guinea Pig.

Ive gone through the threads, checked the hostility levels, got a bit of a feel for some of the folks here.

That said, since its still a fairly arbitrary decision, and since this is virtual Celtica, I'm going to go with what really matters....

Such as personal family history laugh.gif

The big crooked nose clan, my family clan, is a Highlander clan. We fought in the longest running Clan to Clan feud in the history of the Highlands. We didn't quite get along with the lowlander monarchists either. This leads me to a bit of a dilemma....

I have trouble with the Bruce clan, primarily because Bruce is Lowland, and its origins are not true Scots. Nothing Personal, at all, but it just doesn't sit right 'in me gut'

Now the Mac Ins... well, that Clan to Clan feud I was talking about, well guess what, the Macintosh's just happend to be the clan that my family was at war with for something over 300 years. So I'd be spittin' on a lot of my ancestors graves should I pledge allegiance to that group... Don't get me wrong. Your a clan after my own heart, in that you integrate the history of Scotland into your structure. I'm just afraid of all the ghosts that would haunt my dreams...

There seems to be quite a bit of drama regarding both Wolf and UDB. And neither seems to be all that interested in the Celtic aspect, but rather in the boot stomping aspect. No offense lads and lassies... but there's a lot of blood in the water that surrounds you.

This leaves PLUS and DARK, which both have nice art, but don't speak to my heart.

Ach, whats a Highland laddie to do....

Hi davlcam.

The second clan you mention is MacInnes, not MacIntosh.

Posted by: stevenpd 18-Dec-2008, 09:54 PM
Clan Cameron fought Clan MacIntosh for nearly 350 years.

Clan MacInnes and Clan Cameron fought together in the 1745 Jacobite uprising.

I will overlook the misidentification.

Clan Wolf no longer exists, and the incidents you're referring to were with *me* as an individual. At that time I was the sole member of Clan UDB.
Bokora, the only other member of UDB, created his account here two weeks ago.

As for the "Celtic Aspect" with the exception of forming Clans, what else of this game is Celtic themed? Surely building French siege weapons isn't very Celtic. Longbowmen are more associated with England than any other country.

I would agree that you have to follow your heart and if clan PLUS or DARK don't speak to that than you are probably better off in creating your own.
There have been 2 or 3 clans here started which had only one clan member in them.

I personally found that a clan is like family or extended family in a lot of ways. You don't have to agree with the members about every thing they value but you do have to watch out of them and they you.

If you would rather not be a lonesome clan leader consider finding those in MK that you can relate to the most. Maybe you'll find there is a clan that best suits you. thumbs_up.gif

Well, I certainly appreciate the correction, and that does change things up a bit. Have to seriously reconsider MacInnes.

Interesting... time will tell. How are the clans as far as supporting Celtic Radio?

I think kingdoms whose Lairds still have gainful employment which have not contriubted to the 2009 Fundraiser Drive should be attacked! Can we feret them out? How do clans encourage support of this website?

I'm looking for a clan to belong to down the road.

While I can't speak for other clans, I belive every member of Clan McInnes is a paying member, and most of us are Founders. After all, if CR was to fold, we wouldn't be here. Most of us have been members for many years and plan to remain so. It's a great place to hang out.
I would have to say that MOST of the really active players support CR.

My lord englishmix,

I was part of clan MacInnes from almost its humble beginnings.Most of the clan members are Founders and I've been a founder myself the minute I joined CR and I did sent out a generous contribution to the site even if I too lost my job last October.

But if I may ask my lord...why is it important to you if the Laird or clan leader is not a Founder to the site...I think as long as he can prove his worth to his fellow clansmen it should be enough.To me it is a matter of personal choice since CR offers the choice to members to be a Founder or to contribute...they do not impose anything on anyone.

I don't know about the other clans...I will leave this to you to discover and for the other clan leaders or members to sale their worth to you.

I think that Clan MacInnes is what it is now because of team communications and efforts put in to discover all together the intricacies of the game thus developping a close knit community as well as friendships...and that is the key to success.

Good luck in your hunt for a clan...and if none appeal to you...why not start your own my lord!!!

I have been a member for several years, I think there was a year that I forgot to renew my membership. But I got that fixed and plan to stay a member of CR and support it often. I think most people that play medieval clans are members of CR. I would think that someone would spend time playing a game on this website and the person was not a member. With how much Paul has done to add more and more features to CR to make it an enjoyable place to come and listen to celtic music and spend time with others that also enjoy the music, I'm glad to be here as a paying member!!

Posted by: englishmix 09-Mar-2009, 05:11 PM
My fairest Lady Avalon and interested readers!

I acknowledge your kind reply of generous assistance with most lowly bows of the gentleman of Kilkerran. Neverthetoforeless, I was really trying to pick a fight - though not with myself, mind you, for I am too ill equipped for that... errr, that includes both concepts of having a one-man fight with myself as well as to have others do batttle with me. unsure.gif

The clans - especially the larger ones - do seem very relational and supportive, but alas, one misses the ancient cause of most glorious warfare - the pillaging or ravaging of another's daughter or wife - especially those of royal vintage!

Therefore, I thought perhaps stirring up the clans for greater celtic radio support might also serve as a basis of said most glorious warfare to occur. To which, I as a humble and most neutral land owner and businessman might find not only some passing sport, but hithertofore also some delightful profit. With the hopes, that in the end, some such tournament would reveal to me the best of the clans!

To the best of the clans, and to the success of free-market captalists throughout the Medieval Kingdom! beer_mug.gif

Lets introduce rape as a game aspect of MK?

Call me a prude but even in a game forum rape is not an attractive topic.

And I know your probably just messing with themes and such, but I could see how this suggestion might be taken as offensive.

My lord Lochaber,

I must say that I wasn't sure either of what I read and thus didn't dare comment on it in case I had misinterprete the words but I can see that I'm not the only one who read it and interpreted it this way also.

As I too find it offensive to even suggest something like this in a game...you may read it in a story books or even in history books as it was unfortunately sad events that occured at the time.

Though some wants to play the game as close as possible to the reality of the time I think that there is some limit to certain "reality" to be introduce into a game.

Again, it all comes down to what I feel is so unfortunate these days in games that are becoming a "virtual" reality of our world with games that promotes real killings and real rapings and such...

I simply find it not only offensive but the most distastefull and disgusting suggestion.

Permit me, lords and ladies, to state what is most obvious to the most casual observer in these, well these, not so vociferous times of Medievalness:

CLAN ARGYL is the weakest and most astoundingly boring clan in the whole game!

Let us analyze and reflect upon this profound truth. What the game truly needs is, once again, a boisterous, arrogant, barbaric clan which we can duly throttle! Come on, Clan Argyl, buck up!

Your comments are welcome. But don't you go telling any porkies!
Quite right.
