	Clan regulation: discussion and proposals Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

It’s about time we get down to work on clan rules, especially after all the troubles and confusion with MD, so I created this thread to discuss the topic and for proposals.

I have one proposal already: I think it would be wise if we made joining GDI obligatory for clan members, in interest of the clan as a whole.
I noticed that several members were attacked by countries several times the size of any of us, which makes it much harder to let the retal be "felt" (I don't believe a country of $4m is much bothered about a $500k SS'ing him), and that easily could have been prevented if the member in question was in GDI.
It would also simply reduce the chance of the clan being attacked and of those attacks being successful.

I agree, every clan member should join GDI. And as long as a member has not joined GDI, (s)he simply can't call for the clan to retaliate to a bottomfeeder. I have seen Dni being hit by a top 10 country (MD clan, of course).

I've never experimented with GDI, because if you have a reputation for retaliation, you don't need it.

I think it might be a good idea to be in GDI for this first reset, while you learn the ropes, but after that you should use all-jet retallers, etc. to protect your countries, as that will gain you pacts.

GDI should be mandatory for this reset for sure since we are fairly new and have no reputation... also we have no retal force as of yet. Another issue is the retal itself, should spy ops be considered as viable retals for SS or PS attacks... personally I don't mind them since they can be more damaging than a typical SS or PS against a stronger country. But the issue remains that some clans consider spy ops to be too strong of a retal and well as we saw with MD it caused havoc... so my suggestion is that SS or PS should be retal as the same at 1:1... any other attack should be an equal or slightly stronger response 2:1 and any missle launch successful or not is 2:1 by each member of the clan, thus a present is 16:1. I know that this sounds strong but missle attacks are non-benificial to anyone and thus should be punished accordingly.

Your reaction on missile retals may be a problem.

The only type of retal even remotely accepted by major alliances that is'st SS or PS is the missile retal...

I suggest you stick with that instead of the spy ops as it is more standard.

If MD would hurry up and kill me I'll restart as a straight indy and do retaller.

I concur with having membership in GDI mandatory.
