Too elitist?
I wouldn't say that...
Torigod is (was?) elitist, bouncy is elite without being elitist.
I consider [a] to me more in the second camp than the first. Just because you are "l33t" doesn't make the clan elitist. I was in awe when [a] first started and had the most amazing member list I'd ever seen. They continued to recruit good quality players and remain at a high level of overall skill. [a] has been a success story, and I hope it will continue to be...
Having a large number of skilled players does not constitute elitism. Doing so whilst attempting to crush and subjugate others does. I have not seen [a] members as anything but helpful and pleasant. I'll go away now.
