right now im aiming for maybe 3 3mant eams, the game supports 3v3 so a best 2 out of 3 series with a different team each round is what im thinking.
Sounds good.
as for everything else, there will be no 'leader.' we're a team that listens to each other's opinions, and we'll mutually agree on the best ideas for the team.
But don't you think since this is a strategy game it could be beneficial to have in-game captains? I mean for the clan in general I agree with the democratic model, but for a lot of games it's hard to get people to listen to you during the stress of the game, unless you have some sort of authority. That way, the captain could organize the team and everyone else can focus less or strategizing and more on playing. If the captain makes bad calls or doesn't listen to anyone else, we just select a new captain.
Just my suggestion. I've never actually been in a clan so you have more experience than I do.
