Teaming with clans to fight another helps cripple the other clan faster, but only if you win invariably. Losing while teamed with another clan boosts the other clans' reputation because defeating two or more clans at once appears to be quite a feat. Teaming with rival clans is only decent when members from both sides decide to lay down their differences, fight a common enemy, and then return to their rivalry after. It seems too formal, but it can be done. And it is being done. Of course neutral clans have been affected. Discussion won't stay within the involved clans. Others are bound to get into the mess, because simply, it's exciting. We were positioned under rank #10 on the TWR consistently. We accepted nearly every war declaration, no matter the ML difference. We won matched wars. We defeated a former TWR #1.
