Why do you think wesnoth clans/groups never took off?

[Turuk]

#Wesnoth is the general IRC channel for users.
#Wesnoth-dev is the channel where the developers do their work.
#Wesnoth-mp is the channel where the MP devs can be found and a good place to report an issue on the server.
#Wesnoth-music is the channel where those working on game music can be found.
#Wesnoth-umc-dev is the channel for the corresponding project, and serves as a discussion and support channel for those working on their add-ons in that svn.

You may actually have luck with that, one of the GSoC Projects aims to improve the Multiplayer interface

glad to hear it . ive always found it a bit annoying that i cant talk to ppl int he lobby.

You're going to be disappointed; you're not going to get group messages and even if you did the usual rules would apply to prevent cheating. Also you can already talk to people in the lobby if you're in a game.

On the whole, there are no plans to give any clans any support whatsoever, now or in the future. We're happy with the present situation and its going to stay that way.

Most of you can now cease posting in this thread.

kind of a bummer a guess. oh well.

It didn't help that many of our early clans were a joke. I singlehandedly devoured the "Mercykillers" clan around 0.7 or so, although it wasn't really much of an achievement to brag about.

It was kinda like watching a fat kid fight a doughnut.

Yeah, all the pros use irc to cheat in MP games.
