I don't think I am the right person to campaign for a major change in the clan world, but I would love to have a continuing discussion on ways to make the clan world more interesting. I understand that there are issues with having certain highly skilled players popping in and out of different games in different wars between different clans. However, that doesn't mean that we can't mix it up in some constructive ways. For instance, I am a solid player, but I am not a superstar. I could easily see players at my level of competence being part of a pool, that could be used by any clan to fill games if there was a temporary glitch going on with a particular clan. Pool members would still have a "home" clan, that they played for, but if they had room for extra games, they could list their pool availability. Maybe have something where both clans involved in a war agreed to which players from the pool could be used, or how many, or something like that. I was thinking the pool would be comprised of solid team players, but, we could also have superstars in it as well, just that both sides perhaps got one superstar each? Anyway, some thoughts, and let's please continue this discussion elsewhere; we are here on this site for fun, and imo, this "mixing it up" could be really fun!!

this must be thought over very well. with a straight structure and rules about it. Otherwise we creat a pool where clans can hire some players from (could made effects on the outcome of a clan war)
But if there would be a clan in trouble...and they can continue their tourney with having 1 or 2 more players...how can we solve that...players from clan 5 can join clan 32? I hope you see the difficulty...
Maybe create a pool from clanless people....? so they can hump in wherever needed?

Also let's face it - if any clan were to loan out any of its members they would hardly be top drawer material and possibly unreliable. That then brings into the equation how they would be covered (i.e. by whom) and opens another can of worms when it comes to confidentiality contained in PMs with stored passwords belonging to members of a rival clan.

Nice idea, but really quite implausible.

Now a pool of mercenary players who are currently clanless - that would be something else entirely.
