Clans

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
blobs.io is (unsurprisingly) an online game that involves competition. But being a lonely blob isn't fun.

Describe the solution you'd like
Clans are a solution that encourages more competition without ruining the game.

Clans have two settings: invite only and free to join.

• In an invite only clan, you need to be invited by the clan owner or someone with invitation permissions.
• In a free to join clan, anyone can join.

Clans also have a permissions system.

• Whoever owns the clan has permission to promote, demote, kick, ban, and invite users.
• Co-owners (determined by the owner) also have these permissions.
  You can also “mark” any user that’s below you. It’s up to the clan to decide what the mark is for- only for the best players, IRL friends, that sort of stuff.

Clan names can be up to 20 characters. This is used as the full name of the clan. Clan tags can be up to 4 characters and appear in-game before the player's name.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Well, we could always just let the game die out instead.

Should we make the clan creation free or paid (Blobcoins)?

[Nightcaat]

Clan creation would be free.

Also, there should probably be a user cap so that there's not too much of an unfair advantage. I propose the following: at first, you would get 10 slots, with the clan owner also taking up a slot. At the end of the season, you'd make progress towards new slots. The maximum number of slots would be 25.

A clan page has been created and can be accessed through ~/clans/ (~ being the host). It displays the top 10 best clans (ordered by CR (clan rating)) and by clicking on "View" on a clan it gives simple information such as the clan leader, members, ...
It, however, is not possible to create a clan right now.
