Uh, it should be. Should've been linked the instant the Toriclan was created. Isn't it?

Yeah, lot of questions. Here goes nothing, lol;
[1] We decided it would be a good idea to have at least a semi-multifaceted clan. Rather than just being active in the forum and IRC spheres, we can have a war squad and also be active in the ingame sphere as well. The more mediums we can express our activity in, the better.
[2] The current thinking is that we hold all members to some maturity/intellectual standard, but that the war commander finds and selects his squad. For the war squad, we wouldn't treat them like they're applying as forum-elites, but we wouldn't be accepting deadshits.
[3] Well, I re-read the rules, and apparently if we are recruiting, then we
have to have a recruitment thread. I was going to get people to just post freeform apps here, but I suppose we'll have to get them to post a freeform app in a recruitment centre thread.
[4] We'll have a split between the Elite Forumers and the Ingame Beasts (ranks titles subject to change... suggestions?). Ofc, clan artist is seperate, and so will any other special positions we can think of.
And yeah, like Nerti said, you should hop on IRC often. It's just easier to communicate ideas through that rather than PMs.
edit: You ninja'd me Insane, and I'm not sure my post is before yours or not.. some weird forum glitch. So I'll answer you here;
The ways wars are in Toribash, you don't need to think to hard about devising some strategy and weighing the pros and cons. Most clans have a few 'war commander' type people, and they've got the Toriclan permissions to wage wars themselves (some ingame clans give those permissions to all of their members). I think it'd be best to allow our war commander autonomy, seeing as that person would be all about ingame, and they'd know their shit - whereas us forumers don't really.
Also, creating some chain of command/bureaucracy that the commander needs to follow to initiate a war wouldn't be a good idea. A lot of clans wars are created on the spot, in the server, between a few members of each clan (it could even be 1v1). If we put in some time-delay, then we'd miss out on a lot of opportunities to go to war.
