I disagree with making Engy clans parts of bigger clans – part of the fun of being an engy plan is being extorted by the big clans. <!– s:P –><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt="

the leader can turn it off and on. So when there needs to be that kind of communication, enable the channel. When there doesn’t, don’t let people further disjoint communication with it.

You just said it yourself. Engineering divisions more than often fail. How would narrowing the economy do anything? >_>
But if that idea of the miniclan thing were implanted,… divtalk would make eons more sense.

Are you opposed to a clandesc command that lets clan leaders set their clan’s description on showclan?
-

I am strongly the opposite of opposed to allowing the leader to set the showclan desc of their clan.

There should be division descriptions, too, that clan members could see when they use showdiv.

perhaps a toggle that the leader can set for a divtalk. I am for separate division channel. and Perhaps an Officerschannel. That way the grunts can talk and plan etc in divtalk and the leaders of each department can coordinate with Officerchannel or General Clan.

It was buggy and it never really worked right. Now every time it is used, it crashes. Maybe I’ll check that out too.

I see a divtalk command causing more separation between divisions instead of keeping the clan as a whole. I think it is important for a clan to be a united entity and to share similar goals and a strong organizational culture specific to that clan instead of operating on separate channels (which could create separate cultures and agendas for each division).
With 30 – 60 players, I very much doubt that ’20 people’ are going to be lobbing questions in one clan while the clan is doing some important operation. There’s rarely ‘too many’ people online in a clan at once for clan comm-chatter to become a major problem. There’s just no need for that many channels. If we had over a hundred connections at once on average, then perhaps it would be a reasonable consideration.

Apparently you’ve never seen the Republic when it’s newbie season… I ran Intel (not a large branch by any means), and even I got spammed the fuck out at times by people trying to get into the division.

You forget most intel divsions are mostly the..for lack of a better word, disposal division. It is often a division that others are lumped into because they don’t fit, or are better suited in another division but want to be in Intel for some reason.

I’ve seen major clans run successfully without an intel division; the people that would go into intelligence just get split up into the Army or the Navy depending on their race/main. Case in point: the early Empire of this timeline. Granted, it had intelligence and counterintelligence apparati (<3 the Church), but nothing approaching an actual division; there were several small cells, all unaware of each other.
That being said, when I ran NR Intelligence (and even when you ran it), I don’t think it was a disposal division–keeping the idiots out saw to that. Yet, even if it was, the point is that it’s never going to be as large as the army or the navy; if I still got spammed out at times, that’s an argument FOR a divtalk channel.
