Talk:One Big Clan!/@comment-14278516-20140515035012

This is a horrible idea that WILL backfire if it's put in effect. You're asking for the entire Warrior Cat community to risk falling under a bad dictatorship just to mingle. On top of that, the idea is severely lacking in details. How will territory and diplomacy be established? How will this change relations with the Wolves? How would you deal with opposition towards the merged Clan? Not only will the idea alone lead to chaos, but it also leaves too many questions unanswered to ever legitimately be put in effect. The risks are too great, and will only cause more people to break away from Warrior Cat RP over time.

Territory is one concern. If one large Clan consumes most (if not all) of the available land, then what's left for those who prefer to stay in traditional clans? You would be monopolizing territory, and intimidating newcomers and normal clans into being consumed by the megaclan's influence.

Leadership is another concern. The most experienced Leaders are already confirmed to be in objection to things based around this plan. To top that off, most other Leaders lack the patience, influence, and overall skill to lead a NORMAL clan. The hell makes you think they can lead a bigger one? No one can deny that nearly all existing Leaders who are less than 3 FR years of age received their title through sheer vanity. For anyone to want to risk putting a complete idiot in charge of the fate of all Warrior Cats is basically paving the way for a dictatorship... A regrettable one at that.

A large clan composed of hundreds of stubborn and reckless cats is bound to introduce conflict... Only, on a much more frequent basis. We're talking civil war... revolts... coup attempts... We'll be tearing ourselves apart. You might think it's a good way for us to maintain faith, and it possibly could be. Still, you have to think deeper. The long-term effects of this could be genocidal. We'll end up hunting ourselves to extinction.

So, to sum that up... A giant clan would fail within a week... If not less. No one is fit to lead it, we'll look like a monopoly, we might end up slaves, and it's basically an extinction blueprint. Not to be mean, but it's basically true. I've watched clans in FR attempt this, only for them to tear at each other because of silly disagreements. If you need more cats, then recruit. Don't try to take the easy way out. It might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.
