If you want to play competitive you have a good shot at playing for the black cloaks. It's not a clan, and every week we do Sunday Skirmish. We change week to week and you can fly with the cloaks even if you are already in a clan. There is no clan leadership officially, and we elect our commanders for every event we play in, so you can immediately influence the group. I'm about to open signups for Sunday Skirmish 12 once 11 wraps up. We didn't get quite enough to fly in 11 but so far we've played in Skirmish 10 and we also won Squid Races.
