Which type of video game are you exploring? MMORPG, MOBA, FPS, etc? There are multiple types of clans for different types of games and depending on the type of game, each clan interacts with the game in a certain way and plays by some set of rules the clan has created in order to function within the game world. In different types of games, each player has a role they must play out in order to progress in the game. This can include somebody who specializes as a Healer (cures damage) or a Tank (absorbs damage), like in World of Warcraft. In professional video game play, e-sports, each player hs a dual role, one in the game and one in real life. When Halo 3 was a part of the professional e-sports scene, each clan/team had a player in the background who didn't play the game but used a stopwatch to keep track of when objectives and items were going to respawn. This person decreased the amount of information the players had to focus on so they could spend more focus on playing the game and therefore doing better. Something like this is could be a derivitive of your main topic.
