First let me say: There are many players who are familiar with the format from other games, I am not - so pardon my Noobishness (Noobosity, Noobitity?). Also, searching the forums isn't as efficient as asking, so here goes (it should be...but sadly it isn't...priorities). 1) Can two smaller clans merge while retaining clan port, and other vaguely hinted at, benefits? If not, why not? This is assuming clan population does not exceed maximum levels. This might ensure smaller clans can achieve the 7v7 requirements. Plus, lets face it, many small clans might be in it just for the Oil. After all there was a time when we all were...<sigh>. 2) Will Clan Battles be streamed live, in some format ..you know...for the Noobmasses? Us solo players and baby seals could observe, make rabble rabble, fling popcorn about, and offer wagers (where legal of course). This might possibly raise the public profile of WoWS - no harm in that, right? (It should be noted that Noobmasses was originally typed as Noobasses. I liked Noobasses better, but spellcheck slapped me.) 3) With there be rules with some form of referee, marshal, or Great Pigeon for rule enforcement? Consider - Announcer A; "Oh no, Did they? OMG, YES, Capt TK did it again! Torp'ed a teamate!" Announcer B: "Goodness, what will Neptune do? Will it be another Pink Card for Capt. TK?" Announcer A: "Possibly...wait. No! By The Corgi! It's a RED CARD! Capt. TK's entire port collection exploded!" Announcer B: "The Potatoes are throwing salt everywhere! Announcer A: "AHH...it's in my eyes!!!" Or something like that, I never liked Announcer A. 4) Lastly, it's a golden opportunity to repay some of our great community contributors, by hiring them to be "color commentators" and "technical experts". I am not saying which I'd pick, or for which position, but THAT would be a great topic for fun. Well, that's all I have for now. I'm betting the community may have more. And if so...join in?

Shame though would be fun and entertaining. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, he shamefacedly admits, its where some of the questions originated. I said them funnier though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or maybe those two clans should just merge and form a single larger clan if they can't get enough people to fill a single 7 player team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
