Hello, everyone. I havent been playing CRPG for very long and am still on my first generation character, although Ive been playing Mount&Blade since the beta. However, with Strategus (hopefully) approaching, I began looking for a clan to play with, since it seems that playing without one is much more difficult. When I made my character, however, I decided to do an Arabic theme (obviously) since M&B is already full of Vikings, Medieval Europeans, and Japanese players. However, I was saddened to find that there arent any clans with an Arabic or Persian theme. I wanted to ask the community if there was any interest from clanless or otherwise available players in forming an Arabic/Persian/Syrian clan?
As far as the focus of the clan, Im a bit of a history nerd and would like to focus on an early Islamic theme (Abbasid dynasty, most likely) but Id be happy with any period of Islamic history (Arabic, Berber, Persian, Semitic, etc.) about 600-1500. Level of roleplay would be up to members, and Im fine with either keeping the theme purely cosmetic or focusing on more RP, depending on what people are interested in.
In any case, if anyones intrigued (and available), put down a reply and well see if theres enough interest to get this moving. If theres enough support, Ill start organizing and contacting people directly. And if not, this thread can just die quietly and Ill have to go back to clan-searching.
PS: I didn't really want to include this, but it seemed prudent. I'm not religious and this clan would not be for those looking for an Islamic clan, but rather an Islamic-themed clan. I have no problems with people of any faith or none expressing interest and joining, just wanted to be clear what was being offered.
