I just randomly clicked on a player in the list and he's not got a bronze medal in any team games, then i clicked on another, no medals in team games, then another, then another then eventually i found someone with a bronze dubs medal.

You do realise that clans play team games don't you? Good luck. It looks like you've assembled a team of winners here :lol:

Any chance of me joining your clan was lost when you called him Lee "Marving".

Does your clan support the ideology behind the original Manifest Destiny?

That's a loaded question; especially since many people have different interpretations about what Manifest Destiny even is/was.

You can't really try to say it's a loaded question when it's your clan name. Biggest evasion ever. And for no reason.

Dude, you're getting involved as an authority on way too many things. Sure wiki may just have it as an ideology for American expansionism, but it has enough philosophical implications that even as a non-american I can feel a chord and be inspired in a more arbitrary sense. And as Viper said, there is enough involved in it's historical usage that you could get into a healthy debate on it, but neither I nor Viper (I assume) want to get involved in such a debate on whether it was right or wrong, or can be twisted into meaning something else.
You may feel it's a cop-out but it's just complex enough to not get involved in analysing when the simple sentiment is good enough to leave people with

I'm not trying to be an authority on anything. I'll keep my level of activity where it's at.

As far as Manifest Destiny, my post was just a poke. Much like I feel natty's was. It really set up the MD guys to have fun with it and you and VIper took it all serious. Sorry if I upset you, but I was trying to get a response like:
Heck yes we agree!! God has deemed it that we should take over the clan world, one clan at a time!! At that's just what we are going to do!

^^^
Again, there were different meanings of Manifest Destiny that existed just regarding expansion. Some believed that it applied to the USA expanding to the Mississippi River. Others believed it referred to expanding to the west coast. Others believed that it meant expanding throughout all or most of North America. And I would imagine some people romanticized the empirical possibilities. But the underlying theme was a destined expansion and I find that to be a cool notion.

If you look at it from a historical perspective, there had never been such a large nation that had a democracy (thus it being called the great experiment). Most of the world was still ruled by kings and dictators. So there was actually a nobility to the notion of expanding the borders of the great democratic nation as many people wanted an expanded nation so that they could actually have more freedom in the great expanse. Of course the revisionist history detractors ignore that historical reality.

Obviously from a clan standpoint we don't mind using the name to play upon the perception of exceptionalism and expansion. And it is apropos for clan warfare.

I actually had about three cool names for a clan and I was leaning towards another name more. But the problem is I didn't write it (or the other name) down and I forgot them. I believe Manifest Destiny was the only American themed name I had in mind (but I'm not 100 percent sure at this time).

I personally did relate to America's proud history when I created the name for the clan. I especially liked it in the face of the anti American tide. But it was never meant to be a political position central to the affairs of our clan. We have people from different countries in the clan and I have never asked them for any political/historical viewpoints when joining. I have respect for a great many other nations. It's one reason why I love the World Cup more than any other sporting event.
