Ok Dads, we've reached a point of critical mass for the clan. The way Bungie designed it, there is no limit to how many people can be in a Group, but only 100 people can claim that Group as their Clan. What's the difference? You have to chose to set a Group as your Clan to wear that Clan's tag on your nameplate in-game. Our Group has reached 165 members (current as of this post) and we reached our Bungie imposed limit of 100 Clan members sometime in December. I have theories, but I don't actually know why this limit exists. It is, however, the reason why Dads of Destiny became an alliance of smaller sub-clans to begin with and how NightsWatch was born. Liking the DoD philosophy, and wanting to be part of it, I created this sub-clan with a tilt toward the 3rd shifters and night owls. Nocturnal Guardians, if you will. The purpose, obviously, is to make it easy for us Dads to group up with other players for Raids, Strikes, Nightfalls, Weekly Heroics, Crucible, Patrols, or just dancing in the Tower. As long as you guys are able to do this, and you're having fun, then I consider this clan is a success. But we have people who've joined our Group and wish to wear our Clan Tag into battle but cannot because of the aforementioned limit of 100. In an attempt to remedy this situation, phase one of my plan is to purge any players that joined the clan but are not active, in order to free up slots for those that are. Figuring out how to do this has not been an easy task for me as I have no way of monitoring how often people play and don't really care to. Being a DoD clan, it is understood that family and work come first. Some people get more time for gaming than others. That being said, we do have some dead weight and it's not fair to the active members if someone is absently filling a clan slot. So the system I came up with puts the responsibility on you, the member, if you wish to stay. I figure that if you care enough about being in a clan, regardless of your play schedule, you're at least checking in to our forum as often as you can. So whenever necessary, I will create a "Purge" post (starting this weekend). All you have to do is reply to that post (not this one) with "keep me active" or something similar. I will leave the first post up for at least a week or so to give everyone a chance to see it because I understand we have jobs, families, reasons, blah blah, etc. (we're dads, not Hardcore Highschoolers! ...not anymore anyway). At the end anyone who hasn't replied will be PURGED! (insert ominous music here) Hopefully this will give us a few more slots. I'm just not sure how many because I know we have a lot of active members, many of which I haven't had the honor to team up with yet. Phase 2 will begin after the first Purge when we see how many Group members remain who still wish to make NightsWatch their Clan. The Admins and I wish to accommodate everyone who wants this and so the plan at this point is to possibly create a DoD NightsWatch II (2, Deuce, Part Deux, we're not really sure yet...lol). More on that later. If you're part of the Group, but don't care about the Clan-tag (i.e. you never set NightsWatch as your clan), you can safely ignore this post and the purge. If you return to Destiny after a hiatus and find that you got purged from NightsWatch, you are always welcome to rejoin our Group. I welcome any questions, comments, or suggestions. Aim small, miss small! See you in orbit Guardians! -Asenjin (ClonedRobot) 28 March 2015: Purge 2 [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Post/450731/112097205/0/0]HERE[/url].
