Well we've now tagged the next MonsterLAN. Our 12th major event will be known as 'The Clan Wars' curtesy of CherryPopper's wit. I like it.

It's born of the shifting clan atmosphere which has been reflected on the MonsterLAN forums as of late. Speaking of which I'm hoping that with a couple of other clans starting to adopt a bit of a standardized image (through nicks, avatars, sigs, uniforms, etc) it will promote an awesome atmosphere at our events when these clans attend. When people have closer ties to their clan by being part of a cohesive identity they are more willing to stick with them no matter what. It's kind of a bonding thing. And that can only result in long lasting rivalries, which are fantastic to be a part of.

Think I'm talking BS? Have a look around at some of the biggest and longest running clans in the scene. CS, UT, whatever. It's the ones that have a dedicated and cohesive outlook which are still there years after forming instead of just weeks, and building a unified identity is part of that.

I've almost got my BF2 cons' how I want them and will be reviewing the UT ones during the week. Also must remember to finish the next splash screen for ML.com by Friday night.
