This would be nice to see

Basically, the general idea with "clans" and similar social structures is this:
- If it is entirely based on IC criteria, then it's fine.
- If it is based on OOC criteria, and you use its single-mindedness to effectively control a realm, religion, or other in-game structure, that's emphatically not fine.
- If it is based on OOC criteria, and you form a group too small to control the realm you're in, but still exclude anyone not in your OOC circle and attempt to push an agenda shared by your group, that's still not fine.
- There is no problem with *playing with friends*, whether those friends were made in the game or outside, but you *must not* deliberately attempt to play with *only* those friends, especially in ways that exclude others or ruin others' fun.
IRC has been an integral part of my Battlemaster-experience pretty much since I began playing it. I'll admit I won't come over as nice to many people at all times but that really bothers me little. Recently I've also decided to hang out in #thalmarkin, since I heard it was more crowded than #battlemaster. Oh and of course, I'm owner of the channel, which allows me to sometimes slightly change the topic to annoy Lorgan.
I started playing and went to the IRC after I found the wiki didn't answer all my questions on how to play.
I was keen to learn and asked lots of questions. I was invited to make a new Noble in a realm where I could be helped and tutored. I did and as annoying as my questions might be, I have, I think, made a contribution in this realm and I have learned so much from these players. I enjoy this aspect of the game now that I understand more. The politics and history and reasons can be more confusing then the mechanics at times.
I'm learning the rules, getting answers and being helped on IRC, thanks to all these kind players. I can ignore the trolls and have gotten to know some really nice players. I have had some good laughs and largely enjoy interacting on there. But most of all I am a more confident player.
