What Makes a Clan Honorable?

by **pimpdave** on Thu Jan 14, 2010 5:17 pm

In this thread we will discuss what makes a clan honorable, and consequently, which clan is the most honorable.

Just to clear it up before we begin, there are two points everyone should remember as this thread moves forward.

1) Honor was invented at McGill University in 1862.
2) Death By Comity is the most honorable clan in the history of Conquer Club. Also we are the most awesome, because we have superior fun.

DISCUSS.

Sportsmanship, Quality Play, and a desire to Compete.

Army of GOD's "One Man Clan" is probably the most honorable. I mean, every member has a clan tee-shirt!

The first step is having qualifications to get in the clan.

The second step is up for debate.

An honorable clan is a clan comprised of honorable players.

I know of many honorable clans on CC. The cream without a doubt rises to the top. I honestly suspect the most honorable of the clans, really wont question the honor of the other clans...and similarly, while having no problem pointing out their prowess on the battles...cough ..thota...cough... wouldnt really speculate as to a lesser, or higher degree of honor between the clans.. by doing so... would make them less honorable...

but only those in the honorable clans know this.

Mythology. Clans that bring a challenge to others, and yet are fun-loving and fun to hang around. Another quality to look for is that they dont team up on idividuals, but try to make CC a better plae. No one has huge problems with the clan. The clan are always good fun loving buddies that only try to help.

First the clan needs to acquire honour. Once they get honour, they just need to stay honour.

suggesting a clan stays honour is not honorable...

Yeah, no. You being in it pretty much thoroughly means it would be the bitchy, complainy-pants McBoring clan.

being able to spell Honour correctly is always a good start

:lol:

She offered her honour, so he honoured her offer and all night long he was on her and off her

Honour does not know rank, class or university degrees. It is there for everyone. In the deliberate care, patience and motivation of a mother it is no less valuable than in the genuine responsibility of a world leader. There is no discrimination in honour. It is of all nations and of both genders. It does not care about titles or prestige. Honour simply is honour. The possibility for personal honour is there for everyone. For one person it might mean to be 'personally honour bound' even in a difficult circumstances, for another it may mean courageously asking a difficult question in a situation where it counts, and for someone else it may mean for once 'no more fine words but needful actions'. Also honour appears in groups, for example in the activities of some story tellers in a children's hospital; in the genuine and compassionate dedication of a team of teachers; in the voluntary workers in a home for the elderly; in a team of firemen entering a burning building at the risk of their own lives in a search for survivors; or in a choir that lifts the spirits of people in a refugee camp… All these are projects of honour. No one had to do it. Yet it happened. The motivation was there. And the opportunity was taken with both hands. And honour was there too, present in the events, felt by all. And there are times when you would not want to think what may have happened should honour not have been present. For example where lives are in danger, and rescuers will make efforts way beyond the call of duty, often in difficult, dangerous and severe circumstances, to save lives. It is not personal. It is... for the honour. :roll:

Interesting.....our "clan", xiGames, has been a risk based group for going on 8 years; many xferred here when the site began and have loved it. Our motto is "Where friends kill friends with honor (honour)"....lol. We fly below the radar as we do not compete as a group - we are simply 140 friends that have similar values and enjoy playing each other.

I guess we dunna qualify for discussion here as we don't compete in clan type activities. No gaming competitions / name calling / chest thumping / etc...our rules were established long ago. We try to act in an acceptable manner in public (I fail here sometimes...lol). We do NOT tolerate alliances, multis, obnoxious behavior, etc. I would guess our average age at 40 which makes for a different group from the CC norm.

Anyhow, we consider ourselves honorable.

As far as the established true clan type competitive groups, I would have to vote for the Dragoons....they are and always have been an exemplary group of zekes :twisted:
