No, you don't. Taking a look specifically at Parrot, if all the people who have played at least 1 game this month played 5, plus if you played a few wars, you'd be sitting on green. You're also still able to get a few more points from forum activity.
The purpose of the activity check is to impose a standard on clans in regards to activity. As it has been for a long time and will continue to be because we honestly see it as best, a certain percentage of your clan should be active to be considered active. If you have a team of 10 developers in which 7 of them are actively pushing out work, you have an active team. But if you have a team of 60 and only 7 of them are working, your team is not active. I'd say that's pretty simple and reasonable, but feel free to disagree.
Clans have a chance to get 30 points for forum activity, which is more than halfway towards activity. We've caved in and let clans that are forum heavy get almost all the way to the top. Not only that, but we are now rewarding activity.
As for the activity in replays, you have to understand the game has evolved a lot since the time Aikido or Wushu was invented, I myself love to see the game develop as far as it has with sparring, MAS, and the replay aspect which is a great sub category.
Don't shut down a developing process.
I completely agree with the activity with Parrot as an example, eVo having 56 members we have a lot to keep up on but when a few members are down taking care of real personal issues as a clan we must pull together to fill in those brethren who are taking care of themselves so we can enjoy there company once more. Teamwork my dudes.
I think this last subject falls under what I stated above.
Other then that it is great to see the clan squad actually work to bring the community something new and to work towards, I look forward to see how this all plays out though in my opinion there are a few detailed small moves that you guys could have done to not only boost and help activity of clans, but the whole clan community is a very large part of the games community its self.
Side note: I did notice with all the new updates and what not that you are bringing to the community I did not notice much change or adjustment to the whole structure.
You flash all this new add-ons or additions but you have failed to mention any such change in most of what has been implanted already.
If I recall correctly the community is not very keen on the changes and I would understand that may be blinded by something shiny and new but in just about everything I read, I saw nothing about the squad changing or boosting anything that has already been put in place.
You may be able to fool the newheads, but all I see is masking something that resulted in failure and still trying to keep it going.
Regardless, it's nice to see at least some kind of a move on the squads part, the clans are a very big deal in this community and should never be taken lightly.
