What is a Clan? | Forums

I've seen this term used a number of times here and it just sounds strange, like I should be using a club instead of missiles and bombs. I figure it's the same as a squadron but is this a Euro term or is this used other places around the world when talking about a squadron?

It's basically the same as a squad, used for basically everything else, fps and rts being prime examples, used all over the place, you've just been living under a rock =)

A clan is a "Group" of people that play the same game. The term first surfed when Mechwarrior Came out, The Clans were Houses dedicated to a fictional Kahn or leader of the house. This was a very popular durring the days of the Kahli game server at the very early statges of online gaming.

The term carried over into other games thus clans, Squads, teams, Squadrons is an internet term for these names. Thus I hate the name "clan" because it's roots (here in America) have a diffrent meaning. Where thats simply not the case. So I run a "Squad" for tactical shooting and a "Squadron" for flight ops, and a Race "Team" yet we are all the same group of people that simply play games as a group.

But the basic term is "clans" according to the internet dictionary.

When a new game comes out, and you and your "Clan" show up and start kicking butt, there is nothing more impressive when people leave thinking that somehow pro's are playing the game. Also the dedication of your name is shown, because you will add your "Clan's tag" to the end or begining of your screen name, thus it shows you are a member of some clan, along with the cool sig images.

Hope that helps.

Why should I have asked somewhere else, this is where I've seen it used a lot...

...and I don't think people should use intranet slang like M8 but like your's that's just my opinion!

Thanks for the answers all, I kinda' knew how it was being used but just wanted to make sure!
