What's your favorite Armageddon clan/organization of all time, not just current but the clan that consistently has the best players, plots, imms, etc.  For lack of ability to add everything, the options had to be limited a bit.

I think we might need to change World Discussion to Armchair Zalanthan Anthropology.

The crazy-eyed Bynner says in sirihish, slurring his speech and spilling ale all over his aba: "Tzai-Byn rules! Woo!"

I'm a Byn fanatic. Only clan I ever played in, and I'm certain I'm returning... (Although, the fact that it's the only clan I've ever played in leaves me a little biased... But I'm voting anyways! So... Ha!)

This vote is for the Second Best Clan, obviously, since the Best Clan was left out.  :twisted:

Winrothol is the best House in my opinion.  The Byn is great, but it tends to be a carcass factory, sometimes it loses the best people when they go off.

There's nothing like a life-oath, and almost certain death if you break it, to breed loyalty. ;)

Winrothol is a superb house.  I'm not going to say why, but if you're curious enough to try a character there, you'll see why.

I'm such a newbie.  *sniff*  I'm still on my first character and cannot rightfully vote on this poll.

Not for anything that has happened in the past... But for all the possibilities that well never be!

I've only actually been in 4 clans:
T'zai Byn
Borsail
New Tuluk Sun Clan
Soh lana Kah

I think of the ones I've tried the byn was probably the most fun, although getting mixed up with nobility in the other clans lets you see aspects of the world that few bynners ever get to see.  On the other hand you can spend time with the byn and then move on to almost any other clan, which is a bonus.

The Byn may have an advantage in this poll since most players try the Byn at least once, but it would take years to go through all the clans.

Clans I haven't tried but would like to some day: Kurac, Kadius, Tor, Anyali, Tan Murak, Harach Kamud.  I'm pretty sure I mis-spelled several of those, but I don't care.  Even the few people who can read and write in Zalanthas probably don't have fully standardized spelling and punctuation, so I'm just using a perfectly valid alternate spelling.  ;)

They all are the Best in their own way and own times.

The popularity of a certain clan fluctuates, often depending on the currently involved players. I had great times in Kadius and the Byn, but also times when I pretty much hated them.

To paraphrase John F. Kennedy: "Ask not what your clan can do for you, ask what you can do for your clan." Your experience in any given clan depends on how you fit in with the rest, how much do you put into it.

Pick the concept you like, or let IC events lead you, to the clan that interests you. Then live with it. (If it turns out horrible, you usually can get out...someway.) Work with the people in that clan, keep in character and things should work out fine. :)

The Best Clan is the Clan you make Best, today. Tomorrow, you may be another person on the other end of the world.

Kohmar was pretty neat too!  :D

The Guild... I've met some great players there I have to say. I came there as a real newbie and my eyes were really opened to the possibilities Arm has to offer by some very good players. Plus you get the opportunity to be in a mafia-esque operation without all the hassle of requiring a wardrobe full of really sharp suits. If you don't like pizza that's ok too.

If you don't vote for Kurac you have either never been a Kuraci for any length of time, or you are a sand blasted piece of kank shit fool.

I didn't vote, because you forgot Tenneshi.  :evil:

I actually haven't been in any organization for incredible amounts of time, but I have a soft spot in my heart for Tenneshi.

Edit: Actually.. I did vote. Human or Desert Elf tribes. From what contact I've had with the Anyali, they rule.

I agree with Rindan.  Anyone who's not voting for Kurac hasn't played there.

Trust, I think, is the most fundamental tool which allows us to play this game. Without trust, we may as well just be playing a Hack and Slash, and repopping in Midgaard after slaying a bunch of Smurfs.

doesn't seem like many pcs are playing kurac anyways...

I'd like to see one around in nak. I heard there was one...but havent seen him myself.

I really wanted to include the Guild on the poll, but it's limited to 10 options only.  It was also rather sad having to combine the two militias, and very strange to combine DE tribes with human tribes (since some of them are enemies). Oh, and it would have been nice to include Nenyuk and Tenneshi, too.

But that's ok, you're all capable of write-in votes.

The only reason I didn't vote for Kurac is because recently there have been some players that really annoy me.  But as a clan, it does rock.

Winrothol rules! My three best characters were all recently associated with that House - one in the bardic troupe, one as an aide and the last as a bard/aide.

Great RP, players and an imm that rocks!
laloc may be permadorked, but I am the Permadork!

I can't believe no one has said the Nakki militia. Someone should have.
It takes two hands to open this safe. The manager has only one.

I'd have to say Borsail. The only times I've had a semi lived long character was with Borsail :P

There was one time with the militia, and that was pretty okay (sparring bores the shit out of me). But then I died. There was one templar who was great though. She had us all scrubbing our uniform because they were stained. I know it sounds boring, but ANYTHING is better then boring old sparring.

I gotta back up everyone that's said Winrothol.  I'm currently a Winnie and there ain't an Imm out there cooler than Vendyra.

Yep, gotta say Winrothol. Nothing more to add, except that I do miss the J'karr; had some good old days.

You win Armageddon, congratulations!  Type 'credits', then store your character and make a new one

There's all sorts of Staff out there cooler then Vendyra! Gosh. Do you see HER running around in a kank suit? Nope don't think so.


:-p


Now, if Fale was in the running it'd blow all of the others out of the water. Also if there was a dwarven tribe coded... Or a half-giant one someplace... Phew... no contest there.

It can be an old school type of thing... The half-giants were showed what to do long long ago by "ancients" who left behind all sorts of tools and such that noone knows how to use, and their magick which the half-giants can barely use.

I was going to vote for Kadius, but then I had to throw it for the mixed tribals, which now that I think of it, was a bad idea. Damn D-Elf tribes.

I have to cast my vote with Winrothol.  Cool people, great rp, and an AWESOME IMM.

Kurac is sweet to, but Winrothol is just....Over the top 8)

Armageddon is best when it's actually harsh and brutal, not when we're only pretending that it is.

I'd have to say a pc run clan (now defunct) :cry: was my favorite with The Guild as my second favorite ever. Most of the rest to me are the same crap with slightly different rules and surroundings.

What Tony said.   I'd encourage anyone thinking about trying Kadius to do so :D

I voted for Kurac, but the best clans aren't on here.  'rinth clans are the best, hands-down.  The Byn wouldn't have even been on my voting list.  :roll:
