A clan is a group of people united by actual or perceived kinship and descent. Even if actual lineage patterns are unknown, clan members may nonetheless recognize a founding member or apical ancestor. The kinship-based bonds may be merely symbolical in nature, whereby the clan shares a "stipulated" common ancestor that is a symbol of the clan's unity. When this ancestor is not human, it is referred to as an animalian totem. Clans can be most easily described as tribes or sub-groups of tribes. The word clan is derived from 'clann' meaning 'children' in the Irish and Scottish Gaelic languages. The word was taken into English about 1425 as a label for the tribal nature of Irish and Scottish Gaelic society. The Gaelic term for clan is fine [finɨ]. Clans are located in every country; members may identify with a coat of arms to show they are an independent clan.

A. You have to recruit your friends and try to get publicity before you start the forum thread. That way, people won't think that your clan is lame when they see that hardly anybody has joined it.

A. Yes they can work but most of them are scams. The leaders of the clan will set a date to dump the items but they will actually do it before everyone else to make maximum money. I usually dumb my items about 5 days before the actual dumb date. I've made probably about 150k.
