Here's the idea.
When a character joins a clan, the game automatically writes a note into your character file that it joins that clan, as a character note.
When a character gets a new rank or new job, the game automatically writes a note into your character file that it got a rank change / job change
When a character gets removed from a clan, it writes when the character gets removed from the clan.
#1 - Systemically, it should keep a record of this, including timestamps, including which character recruited/promoted/demoted/kicked.
#2 - Potentially, this character note could be used in other code, like crafting, saying it retained some knowledge from that clan.
Liking this....especially #2!
I dig this!
I'm for anything that makes clan gear less magic
