User blog comment:WesTechNerd/Spider Vs Scorpions How they divided up/@comment-1906486-20110117153722

From what's said in their video, they divided the teams up based on clan. Since of course, once you login you see what's given to you. Your entire clan is that side, and they tried to keep it balanced. Of course one side usually had a ton of hackers, but they always tried to filter out hacker gains compared to normal ones.

I've seen hackers on both sides really, just it wasn't a perfect system. So many are lead to believe, and even I thought at first the entire thing was rigged. Usually you seen more Spiders than Scorpions, so I'm guessing that many clans and such were often seen more inactive. So you tended to see Spiders so much more populated.

Considering don't forget, a lot of high ranks are also usually in one clan. WestCoastKillers for an example, has a pretty huge amount of players if you think about it. If they divided by clans, then yea it can seem really unfair. Not to mention usually the average player, doesn't always stick to one character. Some try being across multiple accounts, I know the more dedicated ones stick to one account only.
