Clans

1. Clan tag

A player joins a clan by writing the clan tag in square brackets in the username, for example [ABC] Player.

• The clan tag is the text between the first [ and the first ] of the username.
• The clan tag has 1 to 7 characters. A text with 0 or more than 7 characters between the brackets is not a clan tag.
• The game converts the clan tag to uppercase letters and removes spaces at the start and at the end. [abc] and [ABC] are the same clan.
• There is no registration. The server creates a clan the first time it is the top clan of a Team game (see section 2). At most 32,768 clans exist at the same time.
• In Team games, the game places players with the same clan tag in the same team. See Game Play.

2. Clan points

Every clan has clan points. Clan points are a number between 0 and 64. The clan ranking sorts all clans by clan points. The game shows clan points as Rating with 3 decimal places.

2.1 Top clan of a game

Only Team games change clan points. A Team game that ends in a stalemate does not change clan points. At the end of a Team game, the server determines the top clan:

1. The server groups the winners by clan tag. Winners without a clan tag and winners with 0 territory are not counted.
2. The clan whose winners have the largest sum of territory is the top clan.
3. If no winner has a clan tag, there is no top clan and no clan points change.

2.2 Calculation

Let N be the number of active players of the game (human players who were alive for at least 1 game step). Let c = 1 for a contest game and c = 0 otherwise. The game value is:

d = N × (1 + c) ÷ 32,768

The server changes the clan points in 2 steps:

1. Reduction of all clans. Let h = 0.19 × d. Every clan loses points. The clans at rank 1 to 5 are divided by 1 + h. The clan at rank r (6 or a larger number) is divided by 1 + (5 ÷ r) × h. The top clan of the game is also reduced.
2. Gain of the top clan. The top clan receives (64 − its clan points) × d.

• A clan with few clan points gains more per win than a clan with many clan points. No clan can reach 64.
• Clans lose clan points in every Team game that has a top clan, also when they do not play.
• Clans at lower ranks lose a smaller share than clans at rank 1 to 5.

2.3 Example

A Team game has 50 active players. It is not a contest game. The top clan has 10.000 clan points and is at rank 4.

d = 50 × 1 ÷ 32,768 = 0.0015259
h = 0.19 × 0.0015259 = 0.00028992

Reduction:  10.000 ÷ 1.00028992      =  9.99710
Gain:       (64 − 9.99710) × 0.0015259 =  0.08240
New clan points:                         10.07950

In the same game, a clan at rank 1 with 30.000 clan points falls to 30.000 ÷ 1.00028992 = 29.99131.

3. Membership and member points

3.1 Primary and secondary clan

An account is a member of at most 2 clans: the primary clan and the secondary clan. Membership does not depend on the current username. An account becomes a member of a clan when it wins a Team game as part of the top clan.

When an account wins as part of the top clan, exactly 1 of these rules applies:

1. The clan is the primary clan: the account receives member points in the primary clan.
2. The clan is the secondary clan: the account receives member points in the secondary clan. If the secondary clan now has more monthly points than the primary clan, the 2 clans switch places.
3. The account has no primary clan: the clan becomes the primary clan.
4. Otherwise: the clan becomes the secondary clan. The previous secondary clan and its points are removed from the account.

3.2 Member points

The account view shows the box Primary Clan Stats and Secondary Clan Stats with these values:

Every winner of the top clan receives member points:

member points = 1.953125 × N × (1 + c) × own territory ÷ territory of all winners of the top clan

N and c are the same values as in section 2.2. Monthly Points and Total Points increase by the same amount. Won Games increases by 1.

Example: 50 active players, no contest. A winner owns 40 % of the territory of all winners of the top clan. The winner receives 1.953125 × 50 × 0.4 = 39.06 member points.

3.3 Nightly reduction

Every night at 04:00 UTC, monthly points decrease:

When the monthly points of a clan reach 0, the membership in this clan ends. Total Points and Won Games of this clan are removed from the account. Example: an account with 100.00 monthly points that wins no game has 36.17 monthly points after 30 nights.

4. Clan leader

Every clan has at most 1 clan leader. Clan members elect the clan leader. The account view shows the box Clan Leader Statistics with the Rating and the Status of the account.

4.1 Election

A member elects a candidate with the button Elect in the box Clan Leader Statistics of the candidate's account view. The vote counts only if all 4 conditions are true:

1. The voter and the candidate have the same primary clan.
2. The voter has more than 0 monthly points in the primary clan.
3. The candidate has at least 1 won game in the primary clan.
4. The voter has not voted for a clan leader in the current week. A week starts every Sunday at 00:00 UTC.

A vote adds the voter's monthly points of the primary clan (rounded down to 0.1) to the candidate's rating.

4.2 Who becomes clan leader

After a vote, the candidate becomes the clan leader if at least 1 condition is true:

1. The clan has no clan leader, or the account of the clan leader no longer exists.
2. The candidate's rating is larger than the rating of the current clan leader.
3. The current clan leader has 0 won games in the current clan leader's primary clan.

A clan leader stays clan leader until another candidate fulfils 1 of these conditions after a vote.

4.3 Rating

• Every night at 04:00 UTC, the rating decreases by 1/30, at least by 0.1.
• The rating is set to 0 when the primary clan of the account changes or when the membership in the primary clan ends.

4.4 Advantages of a clan leader

The clan leader receives 4 % of the game payouts of every account with this primary clan and 2 % of the game payouts of every account with this secondary clan. The payouts of the members are not reduced. See Gold.

5. Removal of clans

Every 2 hours, the server removes clans that are inactive:

• Only clans at rank 4,001 or a larger number can be removed.
• A clan that exists for less than 24 hours is not removed.
• The server decides which of the other clans are removed. The rules for this decision are not published.

When a clan is removed, all accounts lose their membership, member points and won games in this clan within 2 hours.

6. Rankings and logs

The menu Leaderboards contains the rankings Clans (clan ranking with Rating and Leader) and Clan Members (clan member ranking with the monthly points of the primary clan). The server sorts the clan ranking every minute.

Public pages:

• territorial.io/clans: the 100 clans with the most clan points, with 4 decimal places. Updated every minute.
• territorial.io/log/team-games: the last 48 Team games, with winning clan, clan points before the game, gain, clan points after the game and the winners of the top clan.
• territorial.io/log/clan-leader-election: the last 48 clan leader votes, with voter, votes, elected account and the new rating.
