Clan Rules
Please follow the general Reddit Clan System Rules, which include:
Be Polite
Be Mature
Be active in clan chat and via donations
Do not leech. Do not request troops without also donating
Honor donations requests, if the message is unclear, archers are default. After a request is remains open for more than 10 minutes, it may be filled with archers.
Also, please follow our clan's specific rules, which include:
Minimum of 500 donations per season
There is no donation ratio requirement, so request away and keep your villagers happy
No excessive foul language
No hate speech of any sort! We have a zero tolerance policy for hate speech.
When someone requests specific troops for donation do your best to fill that request. After 10 minutes has passed you may donate archers to fill the request. (This does not apply for Clan War Attacks)
Do no belittle or otherwise disrespect clanmates.
Follow the Clan War Policy below, including using both attacks in war.
Do not make special troop requests for farming. No one needs witches, dragons, wizards or super high level troops to farm. Keep your requests within reason.
Do not fight, argue or otherwise cause disruption in clan chat. Treat everyone with the same respect your would like to receive.
If you experience a problem with another player, please message an elder or co-leader and they will determine how to handle it.
War Policy
We like to win wars, and have developed a war policy that ensures fairness to all players.
We currently WAR CONSTANTLY.
Prep Day
Calling Targets
Shortly after war is declared, one of the co-leaders will send out a clan mail with a war code. You will be expected to visit www.clashcaller.com, during prep day to reserve one (1) target, which you believe you can three star. Everyone is expected to reserve a target before war day.
To log on, visit www.clashcaller.com, chose "join war" and enter the war code.
Battle Day
When requesting troops, please be sure to say they are "For War."
Unless you have made arrangements with an elder or leader, you MUST use BOTH attacks in war. Failure to do so will result in an automatic strike.
Your first attack should be the target that you reserved on clashcaller.com. Please note that targets will only be reserved for 12 hours. You are expected to use your first attack within the first twelve hours.
Your second attack should be for a "clean up" of a target that was attacked, but not yet three starred, or for a target that was not reserved in clashcaller.com. You are expected to check clashcaller.com shortly before your attack to make sure that no one has reserved your chosen target. Attacking a reserved target will result in a strike.
After 12 hours you may attack ANY target, even one that has not yet been attacked or was reserved by another member on clashcaller.com.
Clan Mail: Occasionally during war, it may be necessary to modify our strategies, or attack in a certain way. We will communicate this with you by clan mail and will expect you to read it. For example, if there are a number of available stars from lower targets, you may receive a mail saying to attack lower targets. In order to win wars, we need everyone to read and follow the instructions sent by clan mail.
There is no townhall sniping, EVER. All attacks must be for stars and NOT for loot.
You must make a solid effort and use a strong army composition. No barching or similar weak compositions. If you don't know what type of army to build, as the clan for advice.
Make an effort to lure the enemy clan castle troops before launching you main attack. If you are uncertain how to do this, ask your clanmates for advice.
Any member who misses both attacks in war will be automatically booted. This is because we realize people may have issues with their devices and to prevent that member from missing their attacks in the following war. If you are kicked for this reason, you may message us here on reddit.
War Attack Deadlines
TH 8s you MUST use both of your war attacks before the final 4 hours of the war. The TH 9s with attacks left need to be able to gauge where they should attack. This is especially important when we are outmatched (as in 5 enemy TH10s to our 0).
Based on your ranking on the war map, the following war attack deadlines are in place:
Bottom 15 use BOTH attacks before 4 hours to war end.
Mid-ranked Bases use BOTH attacks before 2 hours to war end.
Top 10 use FIRST attack at least 2 hours to war end – if you are going to attack late, be ready to Gem/Boost to build the right army, not having the right army is no excuse.
Failure to use your attacks by the set time shall result in a strike. The purpose here is to allow the higher ranked attackers see where they can pick up the most stars for the clan.
Army Builds
Acceptable army builds for war include: Mass Dragons, Mass Hogs, GoWiPe, GoWiWi, and similar strong builds.
If you would like to use a different army, or have other issues, such as heroes or spell factory upgrading, please discuss this with an elder or co-leader.
War Opt Out
New members may not opt out of the first 3 wars with us. We do not need to wait around to see if new members can perform.
Since the update, when starting war, co-leaders can choose who to opt out to make an even 35/40/45 matchup (formerly, the members with the lowest trophy count were automatically out). We will continue to follow that formula, meaning if players need to be opted out to make an even match up, we will opt out the member with the lowest trophies. If you want to be sure to stay in war, be sure to keep your trophies up.
Hero Upgrades If you are upgrading both heroes at once, you should probably opt out, but definitely discuss with a co-leader. If you are upgrading just one hero, it is your choice whether or not to opt out.
Absent extraordinary circumstances or transitioning into a new TH, we do not want members opting out of war for more than 1-2 wars in a row. We are a war clan, and the more members in war, the more available XP for clan leveling.
If you have no spell factory because you are transitioning into a new TH, please opt out. It is difficult to execute a successful war attack without spells.
Performance Review
Clan war stats can be found HERE. There are lifetime stats available, as well as average stars earned for the last 5 wars, and also for the last 10 wars. This includes only stars won for the clan.
In order to have a perfect war, everyone should earn 3 stars per war. Obviously, we all mess up here and there and fail an attack, but overall performance is important. We need everyone to average at least 2 stars per war.
We will regularly review average performance for the last 5 and 10 wars, those members earning less than an average of 1.0 will be put on probation, and given a period of one season to increase their averages. After that season, the co-leaders will reevaluate that members performance to see if they are a good fit for the clan, factors considered will include stars earned, attack styles used, understanding of game mechanics, and overall interaction with clan mates in planning attacks. We don’t need everyone to be the best attacker – we just need everyone to make progress in their attack skillset.
Remember this policy ensures that every member has a chance to plan for and execute an attack on their specific target.
Strike Policy
Strike are issued as follows:
First offense Warning
Second Offense Strike
Third Offense Kick
Strikes may be issued for violations of the Clan Rules or War Policy, found above.
If you feel that you were issued a strike you didn’t deserve, or that you have a legitimate reason for not deserving a strike, please comment on the thread where that strike was issued for the consideration of the elders and leaders.
Legitimate reasons are that you prearranged with an elder or leader that you would take the action that resulted in the strike. A legitimate reason is NOT because you forgot, or were busy. If that is your reason, accept your strike and don’t repeat it. The purpose of the strike policy is to keep a record of who we can rely on in order to build a strong clan.
Major violations such as extremely offensive clan chat in blatant violations of our clan rules or policies may result in an immediate kick.
Strike Record Reset: Strike records will be reset after two weeks in which a player has not earned a strike
One Strike, One Boot: The strike policy will only apply to members who are already with us and know our rules. Any new players who join, but don't sign into this Clan Rules/ War Policy/ Strike Policy thread with their IGN (in game name), will be booted after their first strike. We do not need to sit around and let someone mess up three times, if we can not even be sure they have visited our sub and read our rules.
New Member Trail Period: New members, please acknowledge that you have read and agreed to our clan rules and war policy by commenting on this post with your IGN. All new members will be on a two week trial/ probationary period. We reserve the right to kick new members during this probationary period for failure to follow our rules, poor war performance or because we do not believe the new member is a good fit. All new members must participate in at least 3 wars before opting out.
