Don't take this the wrong way, I've always thought about and wanted clans and think they would be awesome, but I can't find answers to the questions I've thought of.

the solutions i can think of would be.
having a certain level before you can create clans. like reaching a certain league like ST.
if the clan leader gets demoted to a lower league the entire clan wouldnt be able to participate in clan wars.

the point of having a clan would be for ranking? everyone wants to be on top. you cant deny this.

who joins clans. a clan must have a balanced amount of members like if the clan has 50 members, 10 from each league.
what if the players get promoted? then the members wouldnt be balanced.
-promotion of members will be an advantage of the clan so active members are better.

for inactive members. you could remove them from the clan but replacements can only be filled up starting from the lowest league.
ex. 30 ST's, 10 M's, 8 G's, 2 C's. and 13 ST's are inactive. so the first 10 replacement members must be fluffy leaguers. and the remaining 3 would go in clever.

a clan war would be a representative member from each league.
1 from ST
1 from masters
1 from gifted
1 from clever
1 from fluffy

this where the advantage of active members come in.
if all members become ST's then representatives on all leagues will be ST's
but on the case of pairings. it can only be equal league or higher.
ex.
47 ST's and 3 Clever are in a guild.
so pairings will go like this
1 ST for ST league
1 ST for masters league
1 ST for gifted league
1 Clever for clever league
1 clever for fluffy league

wew thats a lot of typing for an ipad. i know this seems far out to be implimented on outwitters. but it would be so awesome if we could have this

We have no plans for a built-in clan feature, but this doesn't stop players from organizing their own teams/guilds/clans/whatever outside the game on forums or websites. If you're doing it for purely competition's sake then yes, better players band together. But a good portion of teams in other games do it for various other reasons:
1. to find like-mind players to play with
2. to find similarly skilled players to improve and discuss the game with
3. locality. just a state/province/region of players wanting to play together.
..etc...

thanks for the response there goes all that typing and thinking. lol

Well, a clan isn't just for ranking, it's also for friendly competative communities to form

A good example of this, and I hope I'm not advertising, is vortexwars. It's an up to 8 player risk like strategy game, which has got a very good forum. There is a whole section dedicated to clans, and there's a verity from veterans called renegades (that's me! ) to newer players banding together like wolfpack. The creator actually tried to implement clans ingame but even though it would suit it, it's been too difficult.
