Again, and I agree fully we need the head Dev who's taking responsibility for the system to comment, it depends on what the Clan Ranking system tries to measure.
In a perfect world, if I were in charge of making the most magical ideal ranking system, the absolute best wushu player would be ranked 1 in wushu3.tbm/brushu. And he would more than likely only play unranked matches if he played anyone not in the top 100, because that's how matchmaking in successful games work.
If what you're trying to measure is a clan's absolute strength, activity really can't play a huge part in the scoring system. You have copious clans (more than 80%) of the top 15 in the official ranks who wouldn't on their best day win a war against the most talented clans in Toribash. In a system that cares about actual strength, you wouldn't have Team Girl Scouts in 120, RelaxAll in 145, Alpha in 152, and NO in 300. Nor would you have other clans, who I won't name out of respect for their hardwork and activity anywhere near the top 10.
Maybe you feel differently, maybe you think the point of the clan ranking system is to encourage constant warring and activity is super duper important. That makes sense too. I'm telling you what I'd enjoy in a system. If nothing else, I'm okay with that explanation because clans like Obey and WAPOW do keep an active warring community alive. Lord knows for fun Alpha will scrimmage Nitro just to goof around and they are great sports and very active.
