What if I team up with "Upvote clan?"

OK Introduce myself right? Well I just spend few days on steemit. End of the Introduction cause it will really boring for you and let's jump to core issue.

What if I team up with Upvote clan?

First of all have to admitted that I'm too lazy to find out all the answers. 

So far as I know about steemit are following

-If you have many many friends you will have better chance for the huge&fast upvotes that also draw attention to steemers to catch up the rocket for curation reward.

-If you have much steem power you voice is louder.

-Large numbers of votes less effect than few votes from the high SP steemners.

Then I come up with and idea that if I and my friends setup a "Upvote clan" with the requirement for the members that own at least 500SP, when clan members submits a story, you have to vote for them within  a day. And with some other rules such as do not submit a garbage, do not spam, etc.

This should help clan members for the earning rewards and help dealing with whale.

Well I have imagine for the clan war between Upvote clan and Whale clan (joining whale clan maybe much more fun >:) ) And in the future there will be new tag for #steemclan who know?

So this concept could be work? Do Steemit allow to do so or there already a "Upvote clan" existed?

Please enlighten me steemers, that would be much appreciated.

And I also have one another question, what behide the idea that we can upvote our own comments? That make me feel a bit awkward to do that.

P.S.

Sorry for those awful illustrations cause I'm poor and don't want to bother with copy right issue.
