You are always free to join TerraLand. It's where I go to pout and contemplate the nazism spread by the mods
Haven't read the whole thread but don't do it. You might have the best intentions but this is how favouritism arises. Even if you aren't favouring one clan or members over the other you'll be accused of doing such if some players don't get what they want. It's best to remain impartial and professional.
If your goal is to get to know the players, then I feel that joining clans is a good idea since not everyone talks in wc or forums (myself included). In order to address the favoritism, the tour would have to be doing over a long period of time with stops in many different types of clans.
