In an ongoing attempt to make the Combat: Samurai Island system more comprehensive, compelling, and open we have started working on a few projects that require, among other things, the ability to programmatically discover who is in each official C:SI clan.
Unfortunately, there is no consistency on how the various clan groups are set up in Second Life, with the result that as far as I can tell, a few clans are so small that they are in danger of being disbanded :
- Crescent Moon – 34 members
- Shadow Samurai – 20 members
- Ako Roshi – 35 members
- Kyousei Clan and Dojo – 5 members
- Vanguard Samurai – 63 members
- Order of the Fox – 3 members
- Yakuza Samurai School – 4 members
- Tendai-shu – 72 members
- Ancients of Eternity – 4 members
- Samurai Giri – 25 members
- The Oda Clan – 15 members
- Samurai of Daoism – 453 members
Now, I know that some of these numbers are incorrect, most likely because the people who set up the SL Groups have the "Members are visible" checkbox unchecked:
For now we’ll use what information we have, but in the future it’s possible that there will be problems caused by not being able to know who’s in which clans, so I’d like to personally ask clan leaders to make clan members visible.
