This case is a splendid example of overruling things nobody should actually care about.
I mean, you clan admins have so much power and so much responsibility to deal with. It must be a huge burden to serve this great community and not suffocate from the sheer pressure.
You are true gods. You need some sort of way to show the peasants the right way.
We should all be thankful for the huge amount of voluntary work you put into this game. I praise you for your altruistic efforts to bring improvements to this community.
I love everyone who is willing to put their time into something beautiful without asking for any returns.
Surely, there must be a way for us, as a community, to work together and figure out a good solution that will suit parrot's needs.
Admins, be honest with yourself. Who actually gets harmed even a tiny bit if people create sub-clans?
Everyone involved is perfectly transparent about the issue and nobody gets cheated or wronged by anything.
It is no exploit of any system either because there are no actual benefits for the main clan.
You brought up the point of member caps. May I ask how this child clan thing is a workaround on that? Is it not so that far inferior players would be in the child clan, trying to fight for a spot in the big clan? It is not as if they are equal clans that will try to cheat in events or leagues and things like that.
If they do that, you can ban them rightfully of course.
The only issue that may possibly occur is that child clan and main clan may exploit the clan war system to boost their points.
That one can easily be prevented, and honestly, if someone was going to exploit that they wouldn't go the route of creating an official child clan.
This is just bureaucracy and you know it.
Let people play the game like they want to play it. Don't force them to play it a certain way.
I mean, I personally think that child clans are a pretty inefficient and perhaps stupid way to go about this, but my personal opinion on that particular issue is irrelevant.
The big picture you should discuss is not if the idea if stupid, but if the idea is inherently malevolent or harmful in any way.
If it is not, let them have their stupid fun, goddamnit.
They are good people and they bring life to this community. Life is good, right?
Another thought I just had:
What if Ele was to leave Parrot officially. He could then go ahead and create a clan, perhaps he will name it Parakeet.
Now this new clan does not have any official affiliation with Parrot, though they may work together in close friendship, like many other clans are already doing.
They are not mother and child but they work together towards similar goals.
Would this be prohibited?
I think it would be a fun thing to create a new clan that has a very tight friendship with another, and perhaps they will end up exchanging members. These things happen regularly and that is nothing to be frowned upon.

Wow, you are being asked to humiliate yourself and then they wonder why their clan is dying? >_>
Not that I haven't done stupid things like that myself in the past, but boy, that's dumb.
