This post is irrelevant to the topic other than addressing an inquiry [which may well have just been hypothetical, but it was asked - so, be careful what you ask for I guess. LOL(?)].

What is more clan related than changing clan colours??
Changing your motif is usually a matter of personal choice between you and your own clan members, not typically owner to owner. I've known alot of players to leave clans just because the motif has changed. People enjoy themselves some consistency and comfortable habits. I suppose I mean to say the clan motif is more 'clan interpersonal' than 'clan extrapersonal'; affected clan members, I would hope, were included in such decisions where applicable. It's like jumping on somebody else's bandwagon by request, thereby abandoning your own. Almost like selling/shilling out. Other than *special circumstances* like this one, when would one find anyone doing that, and for what purpose? It's just out of place and a rare situation. Clan to clan related... extremely loosely. Outside this particular situation, pretty moot.

This is temporary and the example itself isn't even the exact definition or directly addressing the situation which we're discussing, but a generalized thought. Just an example, albeit a poor one. Not great at being elaborate when I'm tired. Nothing against the topic, just feeding your curiosity with an answer with a possible perspective to consider since you asked.

Changing clan colours for a united cause is only one purpose of this thread. I'm guessing you know that, and you were just answering Maz' question, right? ... right?
edit: just saw matthe's response.
"Why are you posting threads, asking questions and making discussion???"

Warned? Not to my recollection. I recall a debate, but that's all, and after a while and some of their posts of intent later, I concluded no further personal problem with their purpose in-game or per their reasons for activity. IE: I don't have any issue with anything here.

"Changing clan colours for a united cause is only one purpose of this thread. I'm guessing you know that, and you were just answering Maz' question, right? ... right? "

Well, yeah, that's why the quote and such. I even said it wasn't directly relevant, and even made viewing my input as optional. I already said I have no problem with this thread. I wouldn't post in here at all now, if only to answer questions that are being asked toward me, including this post. Clan:

Hi Krisi,

I'm really sorry for your loss of one of your clanmates and friend to cancer, and I'm really glad and thank you for your persistence in bringing awareness to cancer check ups and support of those with cancer. It is probably the best thing you can do as a clan in memory of your clanmate and if it saves just one person through early detection, it is worth it.

It's sad you say some people are dead against this topic. Personally, my work involves looking after, supporting, and helping people with cancer and also their families, and I've also looked after those whom sadly have become terminal and need palliative care.

A diagnoses of cancer is devastating not only to that person, but their family and friends, and touches everyone in some way. It is such a tremendously emotional and touching feeling when someone says they have been given the "all clear" and have been cured. That is a really precious emotional moment and a privilege and blessing to share with that person.

A very huge factor in such a positive outcome is often greatly the result of early screening and detection, and I can't understand how anyone would object to promotion of that when people's lives are saved as a result. There's nothing more precious or that makes more significant difference then prevention and early detection of cancer when it can still be successfully treated, and the person survives to live and enjoy a healthy longer life in preference to the heartache and impact that more advanced cancer has on that person, their family and friends.

When a diagnoses of cancer is made it impacts not just on that person, but on family and friends, and touches the lives of everyone, and I thank you sincerely for promoting check ups, and supporting those who have cancer.

Thank you personally for continuing to promote the THINK PINK month despite opposition of those against it. I will encourage and promote it in our clan this month.
With thanks
Cherish

Thanks Cherish, it is nice to get some supportive feedback like that. My mum is going on another year of battling cancer, and with out the loving care of people like yourself, it would be hard for her to continue to fight.

This was by far her toughest year to date with the amount of surgery to just remove as much as they can. I would never give up promoting it.

I have seen how strong people who fight cancer daily are, and if we can continue to raise awareness, we can help people catch it sooner.

Again thank you, your story shared was heart warming xx
