...make it like integrated into the game itself, we dont want a HTML WEBSITE or a HTML BROWSER in game, we want everything integrated into the GAME GUI itself. So i mean like every clan in UT would REGISTER just like how you register with the stats except you MAY choose to put personal info in there, and that would be your profile.
Then after that there would be a section/tab that says "CLANS" and then there would be a whole list of clans involved in various ladders, and there would be details beside each of the clans name such as the full unabbrievated name, the rating, # of members, etc.(like a detailed list in windows explorer).
When you doubleclick on the clan it would give you even MORE details, like a list of all the members there (also their rank and position), the logo (that they would upload or host or watever), their website address, their list of matches, the ladders they are involved in, etc. (all of the stuff the www.iglnet.com ladder has). Also you should be able to click on each members name and you will get to see their profile with personal info (if they choose to show) and all of their stats and matches just like on the stats website except integrated into the GUI (not a HTML browser).
You should also be able to CHALLENGE a clan via a CHALLENGE BUTTON, so when you click on that it would like show a match select screen where you choose the map and gametype and mutators, etc.. and the clan would get the message when they run the game and they can choose to accept or deny and leave a comment if they wish.
Just like how theres a challenge button, there should be a JOIN BUTTON, when somebody clicks on that they get to leave an optional message if you wish, and the clan gets the message and they get to choose to accept or deny, and also they can choose to give the player a tryout before they accept.
Also about the global rating system that shows you how clans have done against each other, make it integrated with the GUI itself and NOT in HTML.
So the point im making is everything should be more integrated and tied in (within the GUI and not in HTML), things like clan support. So say you change your name, it would automatically be updated on the clan page in UT. Also there would be a clan TAG that would show up as a different COLOR (in the scoreboard) to differentiate from your name and the tag. Ofcourse, you wouldnt actually TYPE the tag into your name, but instead it would automatically be chosen from when you join a clan, you should also be able to HIDE your tag (somewhere in options) if you want to play under an alias or something.
OFFICIAL Clan MATCH support should be supported as well, so there would be a server and time and setting that both clans have agreed to play on (agreed from ingame ofcourse), and only those belonging to one of the two clans will be allowed to enter, so you no longer have to type in a password, just join if you're supposed to be there;) . For other players that arent in 1 of the 2 clans, they would be given the choice to go back to the server browser or spectate (if the server allows spectate). The winning clan would get recorded in the global rating system as the winner, UNLESS both clans agree that it wasnt a FAIR game (i dunno why but sometimes weird things happen).
O yeah, all these stats and clan stuff should be on a website just like how the stats are on a website. What if you're not on your own computer and want to see you clan page and clan stats?
