On the topic of clans vs alliances

Given what was said about clans having a member limit, with alliances having clans associated with them...should the DBO group move to a clan, or to an alliance?
It depends on how many members there are, but my first thought is that it should be an Alliance, with individual clans associated with DBO. This allows for TSD or a PS4 specific clan for instance.
What do you all think?

This (DBO as an Alliance instead of Clan) seems to make perfect sense to me.

Perhaps we could have a clan for each console: DBO-PS4, DBO-XB1, ect. Those plus other groups like TSD could fall under the DBO alliance.
I like this idea best

That way we can find people to play with without worrying about forming an additional group under the DBO umbrella.
Same thing, right?

I think we are all saying the same thing, right? (That being, a general DBO Alliance with multiple DBO Clans (DBO-PS4, DBO-Xbone, DBO-TSD, etc) as part of the DBO Alliance.)
Same thing, right?

Yeah. Although I wouldn't force a clan to use the DBO tag in their name. TSD could just stay TSD if they want to be in the alliance. I could form a clan called No Bones Allowed and still be a part of the DBO alliance.
We should probably name them something clever.

As opposed to boring platform names.
We should vote.

You can only join one clan, right?
If you can only join one clan, having one for each console doesn't necessarily make sense. I mean, it does, but I don't know if that's the absolute way to divide the community.
I think that will happen naturally, for a clan to have members of a single platform, and so the primary division should be based on something else. I recommend play patterns, like was discussed in the podcast:
I.E.,
Clan X plays every Friday night, 10PM EST, primarily Xbox 360.
Clan Y plays weekends, focuses on Strikes, primarily PS4.
Clan Z is in college and plays every waking hour of every day on every console.
The goal of the clan is to find people to play with, right? So you want to join a clan whose members are online generally the same time as you.
we have plenty of time to figure that all out still :)

WRONG
The unifying force of a clan should be something greater than mere convenience. Ideology. Purpose. Passion.
We'll spend some time in the TSD Fealty Lair to discuss our alliances, if any. I'd like to know more about the mechanics of alliances, and if there are any consequences (pros, cons) to them. It'd be kind of lame if there were no drawbacks to allying with other clans.
Unlocks based on Clan/Alliance achievements would be sweet.

Looks like ncsuDuncan is going to have to make the switch to an alliance as he is the bnet dbo group boss.
