I still vote on having the Who C command put back in. That's along the lines of OOC Communication isn't it?

Except most people would log in, WHO C, see nobody online in their clan, and log off.

I think that's a misconception. The people that used Who C for such reasons would now just as likely contact 'everyone in my clan' before logging off. I personally don't mind, but if I was playing a Templar looking for my soldier dudes, i'd be pissed about who c being taken out.

Who c makes no difference. If you don't think people have lists upon lists (especially in clans) of people on aim you're kidding yourself.

No one should ever get a leg up OOC'ly in this game, REGARDLESS of karma.  If married couples (of which I know several play the game) go through great lengths to keep their roles separate (Kudos to you, Frenchy and Cajun, the same to you Dig and Path, and so many more) in game, then there's no reason a group of buddies should be able to hop in and start the next Conclave just because they have a smattering of karma.
People get a leg up OOCly all the time. Anybody who has played the game long enough already has a leg up OOCly because they've learned the areas, read every bit of docs out there, and know how to play the political side of the game. I rarely post on the GDB because there is a political side to it and the "cliques" on the gdb frustrate people like myself to no end.

I wish I was cool enough to be in a clique. Who wants me in their clique?

I do not, intentionally so.  I only communicate with other players through the GDB.

I've been playing for one year and one month. No AIM lists here. Apparently I'm not cool enough.

You have to play for one year and two months, plus find out the secret password.

Really.
All the world will be your enemy. When they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you; digger, listener, runner, Prince with the swift warning. Be cunning, and full of tricks, and your people will never be destroyed.

I've been playing for ages and I don't really like it when people try to get chatty on AIM with me.

I don't really like it when jstorrie sends me his sex logs and brags about his PC's perfume collection. It's gross.

But she does like it when I paste classic ejaculations.

I don't give people my AIM. I talk to ONE person on it, that's it, and I'm sure many others feel the same way. If anyone wants to set up playtimes for a meeting, they can use forum PMs.  :)

Perhaps who C could be something that is only given to the leaders? But that would probably be difficult to implement codewise.

Sounds like a projection to justify one's behavior as normal and typical to me.

I thought we were in a clique. :-[

To be a little bit more on topic, I've been on both sides of the fence and simply put, you have WAY more fun when there is zero OOC coordination.

That said, it is essential when creating family roles, but once the family is created, the OOC coordination should be dropped for full enjoyment.
