Donations, Wars and Leadership

My goal with this post is to outline some guidelines for our clan. My hope is that these will encourage activity and reward players who are clashing hard.

I certainly can't take credit for all of the content ... I am writing all of this after reviewing all the mod mail as well as posts in our subreddit. Big thanks to cooldude for all the work he has done with the clan up until now.

General

• New members must fill out this form upon acceptance in order to be added to clan war resources.
• If you will be away from the game for more than 48 hours for some reason, post on the subreddit to let us know how long you'll be gone. This helps with planning clan wars as well as placating the rabble.
• Talk in clan chat. Our greatest strength is our combined knowledge. Help your clan mates with their attack and defense strategies. Engage in clever banter. Etc.

Donations

Because our clan is not full, it does not seem reasonable to ask everyone to meet the previous 300 donations. We have some very active members donating and there are simply not enough requests at this time for everyone to get up to 300. Therefore, the following guidelines should be kept in mind until further notice:

• Minimum 200 Donations Per Season
• Use your troops in raids and request as much as possible

We are all generous with donations and happy to cook requested troops for clanmates. For now, I don't think anyone needs to really be concerned with donation ratios ... if anything we need people to request more troops so others can donate more often.

Wars

Cooldude wrote a very good post about clan wars and I want to update and summarize his post here. If we do not have full participation in wars, we're going to be losing them. Since it is pretty obvious that everyone wants to run wars, I'm putting the following guidelines in place to help us WIN. I have no interest in losing wars to inactivity or ignorance.

• Every clan member must use their 2 attacks unless they are on a planned absence from clash (see general)
• Help donate to war bases, either lvl 5+ archers, lvl5+ wizards or what is requested (if not these two)
• In the first 12 hours of war, only attack your recommended or a higher base that you can confidently 3 star
• In the second 12 hours of war, attack anyone you want
• If you need help with your attack strategies or base, check out what your successful clanmates are doing and/or ask for help in clan chat

Keep in mind that if you 3 star a lower base or 1 star a higher base, you are reducing our available stars per attack by preventing other players from gaining full stars from their fairly matched opponents. It is critical that you do not swing below the belt or bite off more than you can chew.

At this time we will be running 4 wars per season, one running Saturday/Sunday and the other running Wednesday/Thursday.

Leadership

There are currently 2 co-leaders and 3 elders. These positions are held by players that consistently prove their metal by being consistently active in donations, chat, and war strategy. As your leaders, we promise to continue to keep this standard, or stop down and pass the torch on to someone who can better fulfill their role.

As we grow in numbers, I will add more elder positions and promote deserving clan members into these roles.

I welcome clan feedback on these guidelines. Please feel free to discuss your thoughts below or message me with any questions or concerns.
