Thank you father Digglez.
And you are the absolute first person, since I've left, to have seen groups of weaboos fighting together. They must not have been RL. Maybe they would have been in RL had I zerg recruited them.
And I know how to manage my officers. The main issue was that the majority of officers lacked interest in leading. It had nothing to do with trust.
Consider the likeliness of finding strong leaders among the crpg community who aren't already in a clan, who want to roleplay a samurai, who have the time to dedicate to clan, and who actually want to do all of the work. Not very likely. In fact, none of my officers actually wanted major responsibilities (which I understood and am fine with). Anything they did, was more or less a personal favor to me, as friends. Of course some of them went above and beyond and actively attempted to help organize the clan, and I thank them for their efforts. Anyways I appreciate you trying to educate me on what I should have learned, but I'm not sure we share the same perspective on the matter.
And about your no zerg policy, if that works for you then fine. However, I accept any person who wishes to join me and my friends in roleplaying a samurai and is willing to do so in sync with our rules. I'm not concerned with skill, they can be trained. I'm not concerned with how active they play, it is just a game, they have lives. The only things I'd be concerned with is their attitudes in teamspeak and their maturity. Even with such low standards, I believe the Red Lotus had an excellent roster by crpg standards.
To Muki: Signing up for a battle and attacking you on the map are two completely different things and have difference consequences. You do not start a war when you sign up for a battle, you do start a war when you attack someone on the map directly. Of course it doesn't really matter now anyways...but you as a diplomat and someone very familiar with strategus should know better. I'll assume you attempted to approach us diplomatically before attacking and I'll leave it at that.
