For those who have ever had an extended conversation with me about Clan Discussion over the years, you would know that I have always argued that RSC does not affect the clan world. I believe that CD does not change how the clan world interacts with itself: that we are just a neutral third party where the discussions happen. I don't believe clans will change their behavior if we change our policies, I don't believe that clans fight with RSC in mind. I also don't believe that RSC has an affect on who the most powerful clans are.
Lately I've been beginning to doubt that.
It seems to me that RSC actually does have sway over the power dynamic of the clan world. To me it seems like the clans that post on RSC: RoT/DI/Fools are the most powerful clans, whereas clans that don't post here have been slumping. While it is very possible only the powerful clans post here because they have victories to post, just two years ago RoT was boycotting RSC and ever since they've stopped they've been as powerful as ever. Same has happened to DI. On top of that, it seems like there has been less ragging ever since we implemented our t40 rule (although it could very well be clans just stop posting it).
So let me hear your opinions: Exactly how much does RSC affect the clan world?
