I think clans are evil. I know this because I own one, and I pay close attention to the actions of other clans. The thing is, clans are part of multiplayer gaming. I believe they started years ago in the Quake community, and were invented so groups of friends could play aganst other people and use team work and all that. Of course, the concept got carried over to jj2 (as well as many other games).

I try to keep my clan as close as possible. All the members know each other at least somewhat, and there are benefets such as having somebody to play with in a 2 on 2 ctf match.

What I am trying to say is that clans are evil and good at the same time.
