It's allowed yes, but it's not going to be as successful or popular as this was. This has the popularity it does because of the people who started and have run it. Soul was the center of clans back when he first started this and Zeno has done his best to pick that up from him. I'm sorry but that's not something you can really do.

So, as I think everybody has been able to see, the leaderboards have not been updated lately. The complaints are entirely justified, and it is, to a large extent, my fault that updates are so infrequent. However, beyond my activity (or lack thereof), there are numerous issues with the new ELO system that make it much harder to keep the leaderboards running as smoothly as they need to. Often times, multiple clans challenge the same clan, challenge a clan they are unable to, challenge the same clans over and over again to gain ELO, etc.

The ELO system is being abused, and it's not fulfilling its role of trying to breathe new life into MCSG clans. It's harder for the staff to update or manage, clans just challenge the easiest competition in an attempt to ELO farm, and I get the feeling that a large percentage of people simply don't get how the system works. As such, I will be reverting the leaderboards back to the original ranking system. The ELO system was a good experiment, but it simply didn't work as intended.

With this change, I will be able to actively update the thread (at least once a day). Thank you to everyone who has expressed concerns for the health of the leaderboards and suggested ideas for improving it. The leaderboards are only going to be as good as the clans that make it up, and taking an active interest in seeing it succeed will help it along immensely.

I am going to be removing all the disbanded clans, and reorganizing all of the clans into a normal ranking system. If any battles have taken place since the thread was last updated that would change the rankings, please let me know so I can update it.

Challenges will be temporarily closed (for 1-2 days) until I'm confident that the thread is fully updated and prepared for any upcoming battles. Applications for new clans, however, will be open during this time.

Thank you for bearing with me, even if I haven't been running the leaderboards nearly as well as I should have been. From now on, I'm going to be updating the thread much more actively, and I will keep this system running smoothly.
