There are MANY NS clans. Used to be a lot more- the community has hit a slump, whereas the dev's started catering more towards the pubber leaving the game more unbalance/less enjoyable to play at high levels, making the long term value of the game decrease too much. It's very difficult to get into at a high level, but it's definatly worth it. Each person on the team has to understand their surroundings and the current situation in relation to their opponent. It's like a game of chess, but player skill matters to the point where a "pawn" could potentially kill a "queen."
Also, the average clanner in NS is, well, mean. This is common because the average pubber is quite arrogant and WILL ban/complain for you being better. There is very little respect among that community anymore, and growing new skill is often put down to the point where they don't want to play. The only example of this being wrong in the recent past was the [FAT] clan, a former pub clan who'd ban for "hacking" (read: skill) who'd decided to get rid of the members like that, work their way towards becoming better, and eventually taking the previous CAL-omega (Lower tier clans) championship.
It's tricky to get into, but usually worth it.
::EDIT:: I'd love to Sub, get a microphone and ventrillo. I'll borrow someone's server and get you into the game.
