live and learn

It's not a matter of power, but trying to ensure the integrity of the clan. We do have two chains that have thousands of man hours in maintenance and infrastructure. We have the longest standing chains on the server because we do the things the way we do.
I don't think the problem is having your own chain as much as having a non-sanctioned chain. (One that is not supported by the clan)
We have had some people in the past wanting to advertise their own chains. It creates a mess if it's something we have no input in. It also creates internal competition between chains. And trust me, that is a horrid thing. We had two chains that competed and it almost destroyed both.
