I doubt most people here has read "A Modest Proposal," thus they would not understand your humor/satire. ;[

Quoted for truth.

Now if Omegashin made a thread like this, reply's would obviously be different. Thats the only exception.

You are correct on the point you are trying to make, to many noob clans spamming up the lobby.

um hes not really joking he brings up a very valid point and so what if he is new? i was new a year ago. dont be so hard on him. he obviously writes with good grammar and has a mature attitude. no need to put him down just because you cannot pull out the satire and comprehend the true meaning.

To be frank, I thought "A Modest Proposal" sucked as a satire, but it was a clever way to insinuate society's problems. But hey, maybe it's because I have bad tastes. >_>

As a leader who sends many random invites, and as a person who has been invited to many clans... I think there is no problem with this. Leading a successful clan is very challenging without reputation or skill. You have to improvise, and random invites have gotten my clan(s) much farther than I ever could have gotten without.

Yes, random invites does lead to many newbs, several noobs, and a few angry vets. But these can all be handled quite well. You got to be able to type /expel quite quickily sometimes. The invites can't be all that annoying.

(You know, I bet I've sent the most invites out of everyone. Eh, maybe not out of everyone, but still)

i applaud your use of satire... much like Johnathan Swift with his article "A modest Proposal"

bring out the hickory smoker, yum yum!
Maybe this was like a double bluff...being sarcastic about the use of satire? But then...

The reason I disagree is because I believe when you're in a clan people hold you to a higher standard of skill and conduct. I believe that leaders should wait until the people they invite can meet the standard of conduct (skills can be acquired, personality is much harder). This is why I would only join a clan where I had tried out for the clan and been accepted. It's better to judge people on their actual skill and character, not their stats. Maybe I've completely missed the point here, but that's what I think.

EDIT: Sorry if this counts as gravedigging, I saw this thread on the recent threads list.

I completely agree with you here. As Phoenix would say, "stats are just numbers that don't reflect skill in anyway".
