instead of just having ranking within the clans, we could also introduce a system called power levels. 7 levels of power amoung the clans. this means that one it will give the mortals more control over their own actions while still achieving order instead of chaos. what i mean by power levels is....there are basically 7 levels of power. level 7 is the lowest and 1 is the highest. instead of saying you can only pkill people within 4 or 5 levels of you, instead make it so that you can only pkill someone your own power level, one below your power level and anybody above your own power level. eg if you are say powerlevel 4 you can pkill someone powerlevel 5,4,3,2,1 but you will not be able to touch someone with a powerlevel of say 6 or 7. this gives more flexibility while maintaining order. like promote, demote, the power to adjust power levels can be given to ranks, say top and second top etc depending on the founder of the clan. it works much like promote and demote, where the clan leaders must judge you and promote you. :) to prevent someone say level 60 pkilling someone level 15, you can also restrict powerlevel of say a level 60 to maybe 3,2,1 within the clan and level 15 to 7,6,5 this means that it will rule out any possibility of someone level 60 pkilling someone level 15 who has just joined the clan. i feel that this is a good system and if it is implemented, it would make the clan system we have unique, i thought of this system with the help of a friend who has never mudded before but wish to so its basically from scratch without baseing it on any system any other mud has :) if you require further depth of explanation for this power level system, let me know and i'll give a better and fuller explanation :) Ben
