Something that I know has been a lot of busy work for folks in the Theme Team Crew, especially its administrator EVC, is handling changes to friends lists every week to make sure you're grouped with the right teams for the next week's league and level. This gets tricky when there's more than 30 teams at a level, too.
I'm suggesting a new
clan feature to be overlaid on top of the friends list. This way, what's currently a weekly headache becomes a simple set and forget. Here's one way to implement.
- New league placement settings: use clan, use clan and friends list
- In PT Universe section, add a Clans tab with a list of all available clans.
- Offer an option to create a clan - this would be controlled by OOTP Developments to avoid clutter and potential bad actors
- In the list of existing clans, an application to join button is provided to users.
- Clan owners or admins can approve or reject requests to join
- For league placement, if use clan is present, all members of the clan are treated as a super-friends list and take priority in placement
