To chip in my two cents about this idea, I like it. I'm just not entirely sure if it's necessary. When I was involved in the clan community, it was centered around the family aspect. Each clan is it's own click. I feel as though you are correct in predicting that it would incite more competition, but not necessarily healthy competition. I'm sure we can all agree that the respect and fellowship of the clan community has not been at its peak as of late. To redistribute the individuals of the clans would only cause for conflict, in my opinion. On another hand, you have reputations to uphold. I don't believe that you'll get clans like Rebels to undo all they've worked hard for. Nor will they be willing to end that name. Now, if you are talking about keeping the current clans, but promotion some people to break of and create more clans, that is a thing that happens practicly every week. It is just a matter of if those clans make it off the landing pad or not. I'd love to see a resurgance in the Clan Community, but we need one that is healthy and isn't at each others' throats while in the making. That being said, I'm not sure if this would be the most ideal way of going about it; however, the idea is a really good one and with some tweaking, could definitely turn into something worth major consideration.
