'ello Sam, I thought I'd VM you, in case you don't get my response on Cmp's intro thread.
I'm part of a clan called Gilde Von Vier (which is German for Guild of Four). We're a new clan started from the remnants of an old clan (our leader wanted a change of pace, and to weed out inactive members).
You're under no obligation to join us or any other clan, but since I saw where you asked for a clan to join, I figured I'd offer up GVV xD You just need to post the application (don't forget the hidden message, it's under a spoiler) and tell 'em that I'm the one who referred you.
EDIT: I should also mention. Since you're a new player, you might be interested in our Academy. There, you can learn how to play competitively and learn a little bit of history on competitive Pokemon. If it interests you, check it out.
