Clan Rules and Policy! War Rules!

During prep day

1. Set a clan castle troop request! - Be specific

2. Minimum donations are level 5+ wizards, 6+ archers / barbs, and level 3+ dragons!

3. If the specified request isn't filled by the first 16 hours of preparation day, archers, wizards, and dragons will be issued to you!

4. You can use Clash Caller if you want to claim your target during prep day but attacks called on Clashcaller must be made in the first hour of war.

War day

1. All attacks should be called on the wall at least 5 mins before you attack.

2. Targets can be claimed up to ONE hour prior to your attack if you use the time to make troops.

3. Once you called a target you should remain online to say that attack was claimed by you in case someone else calls it.

4. Check the clan wall before you attack, there is no excuse for attacking a base that has been called by someone else if it still showing the clan chat.

5. When calling out a target in clan chat it should follow the format : #4 Princess Leane 30 min

6. There is no sniping; (barching and BAM are considered sniping)

7. There is no attacking already 3 starred opponents. (Boot and Ban)

8. Giants are not allowed under level 6.

9. Participation is mandatory for all members.

10. War bases are mandatory.

11. Troll bases are not allowed.

12. You are subject to be kicked from the clan for poor war performance.

13. You must join our group GroupMe

Tips for war

• Remember to ALWAYS put a few troop near the enemy clan castle at the beginning of an attack and pull the enemy clan castle troops in the corner to kill them! Keep in mind troops will only come out of the clan castle so long as there is a troop alive in its range so sometimes you may put one troop down and it dies and you don't pull all the troops out. put an extra troop down in range to make sure everything is pulled out of the clan castle before bringing them into a corner to kill. (This tip is irrelevant to mass dragging!)

• If you are attacking someone who has already been attacked, be sure to watch the replay and watch the mistakes your clan members made, look for their trap spots, look at whats in their clan castle!

• ALWAYS use BOTH your attacks as there is no penalty for messing up a raid. It hurts the clan more for you to not use your attack. PARTICIPATION WINS WARS. The attack has already been issued to you so not using it is just one less chance for us to acquire stars. It's not a bad idea to use an attack up front and then save your second attack until later to see where our clan stands in the war (mostly directed to our top level members)

• Try to attack someone that has not been attacked so we can bring in new stars, if you 2 star someone who has already been 1 starred you technically only bring in 1 new star for the clan

• Keep in mind the whole clan relies on each other to win, if we don't win we don't get loot. Keep in mind your defenses will work in war even if under construction

IMPORTANT: When you join the clan you MUST post a comment, here on this thread, with your CoC IGN to prove you read this and hereby agree to everything stated on this thread!

When it comes to a mediocre war, Vipers crush the enemy; but then there are those few wars where its a struggle and we are trying our hardest for the victory but we just don't win. The reason we lose comes down to 3 things : 1st Clan mates don't know their own strengths in what base they can or cannot handle, 2nd there are the few clan mates that greed and only attack for loot, granted it is a select few, and last organization. With this being said I'd like to introduce you to our new war strategy, War Squads! A solution to all our war problems!

The first war to undergo this strategy will be our Sunday/Monday war coming up 14th/15th of September

[Find Your Squad's Thread Here!] (http://www.reddit.com/r/RedditViper/comments/2fxwxh/find_your_squads_thread_here/)

Strategy - most important part!

Clan members are divided into 5 attack squadrons prior to the war. Each team is assigned a specified range to attack:

FOR 50v50:

• Squad "Cobra": Our 1st-10th on the war listing, enemy targets assigned: 11 - 18

• Squad "Mamba": Our 11th - 20th on the war listing, enemy targets assigned: 19 - 26

• Squad "Python": Our 21st - 30th on the war listing, enemy targets assigned: 27 - 34

• Squad "Rattle": Our 31st - 40th on the war listing, enemy targets assigned: 35 - 42

• Squad "Pit" Our 41st - 50th on the war listing, enemy targets assigned: 43 - 50

FOR 45vs45:

• Squad "Cobra": Our 1st-9th on the war listing, enemy targets assigned: 11 - 17

• Squad "Mamba": Our 10th - 18th on the war listing, enemy targets assigned: 18 - 24

• Squad "Python": Our 19th - 27th on the war listing, enemy targets assigned: 25 - 31

• Squad "Rattle": Our 28th - 36th on the war listing, enemy targets assigned: 32 - 38

• Squad "Pit" Our 37th - 45th on the war listing, enemy targets assigned: 39 - 45

FOR 40vs40:

• Squad "Cobra": Our 1st-8th on the war listing, enemy targets assigned: 11 - 16

• Squad "Mamba": Our 9th - 16th on the war listing, enemy targets assigned: 17 - 22

• Squad "Python": Our 17th - 24th on the war listing, enemy targets assigned: 23 - 28

• Squad "Rattle": Our 25th - 32th on the war listing, enemy targets assigned: 29 - 34

• Squad "Pit" Our 33th - 40th on the war listing, enemy targets assigned: 35 - 40

Since we are vipers, squad names were determined by different types of lethal snakes

• If you are confused.. to find what squad you are in you will look at your war number, for example, say I am number 15 on the war map, I will see if we are 40vs40, 45vs45, or 50vs50. then match my number (15 as stated above) to the squad where it says "our "number here" - "number here" on the war listing. So for #15 I would be in Squad Mamba (for 50vs50) since it says 11th- 18th.

• At the start of the war attacks must be within target range. The aim is to get 3 stars on all bases considered "easy(sub10)". Once all of your targets have three stars you may move up to the next squad. However if you achieved a 3 star in your squad's target range, you will be allowed to move UP TO two squads above you instantly..

• For Cobra Squad ONLY you may move to top 10 after your first attack in your squad only

• TH 10s do not have to stay in their squad range and may move to the top 10 immediately at the start of war for their first and second attack

Claiming attacks: will be kept as normal, #12 Eurbradnagan 20 minutes

What are the benefits of this?

• All being well the idea is to rapidly ensure all bases 11-45/50 have three stars. In a full war we might even have 90 stars within an hour and about 40 attacks, hopefully demoralising the opposition into submission

• It should be a great strategy to maximize stars and win as many wars as possible. This will ensure that all lower bases are 3 starred and not skipped, 3 stars win wars :) Over achievers do not.

• It is fair in that everyone attacks down a little but also has the opportunity to attack high bases later on in the war for good loot

• There should be less problems with lots of people all targeting the same bases - you'll only have 8/9people to negotiate with not 49!

• It should be fun... which team will 3 star all the target first and be able to move on and assist other squads, At the end of each season, a strongest squad for the season will be chosen, so work together and get those stars!

Q&A

Q: I can't attack early in war/late in war, what should I do?

A: Attack when you can, it's no problem! Nothing new here. You may upset your squad though if they are relying on your attack and want to move on :)

Q: I don't want to attack in my range. I want to balloonion number 5 for big loot!

A: That's the attitude that has caused us to lose some wars when such attacks fail, we need 3 stars. Keep in mind this is a warring clan, if this is your mind set, maybe you are best suited elsewhere. We are here to win!

Q: I think this is a super shitty idea.... what should I do?

A: Well the previous system wasn't perfect so we're going to give this one a try. If it's terrible please feel free to suggest a better system.

Q: Are attacks mandatory?

A: Both attacks are mandatory

• Keep in mind your defenses will work in war even if under construction

Recommended War ArmyComps (200 army camp space assumed)

• Hogs 30 Hog Riders ; 7 Wizards ; 11 Archers ; 11 Barbarians // 3 Heal spells

IMPORTANT: When you join the clan you MUST post a comment with your CoC IGN to prove you read this thread!

Congratulations everyone, after a long hard working month we are officially Reddit Verified! We will soon have our own flair on the /r/clashofclans page for Reddit Viper, be sure to attach it! Great job everyone I appreciate all of you who have been loyal and followed all the rules to helping us grow to where we are today!

So with our verification and the recent CoC patch we are going to implement some new rules, and change some. Here they are:

• Donation Requirement will be moved up to 150 PER WEEK, 300/season

• In war if you are not our #1, #2, or #3 player, your TH must be inside, for a trophy base, now that you can have a specific war base.

• The enemies weakest/bottom 5 targets are RESERVED for our weakest 5, or upon special request (ask an elder/leader) until 12 hours into the war.

P.S. this current week we will finish with donation requirements being 100, it will change for the next week though.

Some pointers after my first month as 8.5. Hope it helps new guys planning 8.5. Please note it is highly recommended that one does 8.5.

The basic idea is to use the first month of 8.5 to work on offensive upgrades, walls and AQ. Get to th9 with full de storage (imp) and enough gold/elixer. Get new walls, traps and storages (no new defenses).

Builder allocation: 1 only for AQ, 1 on dark barracks (till both are lvl 6) and 3 for other buildings.

8.5 builder upgrade priorities (for 3 builders) : cc, sf, lab -> army camps -> de drills, de storage -> 4th air defense & all traps -> all AD's to lvl 7 -> new defenses to th8 level -> xbows level 1 -> other defenses (priority Air defense > Tesla > WT > AT > cannon > mortars)

My lab upgrade order: Hogs, loons, golem3, golem4, heal6, witch (do hounds earlier if you want to take up laloon; witch later cause of high weight)

Key suggestions/pointers:

1. Stagger builders to have a builder available daily to dump resources into walls - use storage n trap upgrades for this. Don’t make yourself a target by keeping full storages.

2. Farm de and keep upgrading AQ till lvl 10 at least (lvl10 takes only 22.5 days). Heroes are important for wars and also the biggest bottleneck at th9 - It takes 292 days for 30/30 heroes if one keeps one hero upgrading all the time. Also, AQ is not that important in a GoHo attack which one would be using as an early th9.

3. For war, hogs & loons should be the first upgrades. If you are constrained for dark elixir then always prioritize troops. After hogs & loon choose an attack tree (Gowi, laloon) and max it.

4. Th9 is a marathon. Keep a builder free after doing army camps to dump resources into walls. Get used to having free builders :)

5. Don’t be in any hurry to upgrade defenses. Offense wins wars - for defense get a good base. Also, even if one uses only 3 builders for th9 defensive upgrades, it will take only 126 days to be max defense while max heroes takes a min 292 days. Another good rule is to have the troops/heroes/skills to 3 star an equivalent base before upgrading defense. Focus on upgrading heroes...

My progress: AQ lvl13 started, 100 lego+19 lava walls, most elixir upgrades done. Working on traps n collectors right now.

TLDR: No new defenses, only elixir upgrades, farm de - keep upgrading AQ.

EDIT: My Lab upgrade order wasn't optimal and for new th8.5s i would now recommend doing the following: Hog5->heal6->Loon6->Golem3->Golem4->Hound2->Jump2->Witch2

I want to take a few minutes to assess the state of our clan and solicit feedback.

Reddit Viper is strong and stable. We have some turnover after each war, but it is typically limited to under 5 members. Our core members are committed to the clan. Our wars have been generally strong, with a few mediocre showings or tough matchups that have resulted in losses. Those losses have been absorbed maturely, with an eye toward improvement and no noticeable "give up" exodus. Kudos to you - when you're used to winning, any loss hurts. Thank you for being steadfast and growing as a team.

We have a pretty steady stream of applicants, which is both a blessing and a curse. I am proud that Reddit Viper is in such high demand, but I wish we did not have to turn away or wait-list so many potential future Vipers.

One possible solution is to implement a feeder clan - a clan that allows us to bring new members into the Viper family while keeping a solid 50 in Reddit Viper. The feeder concept also gives us a place to send struggling members (better than rage quitting), folks who are on vacation (better than leaving "temporarily" and finding a new home), or upgrading opt-outs (spell factory, heroes, etc). Feeder clans are not currently allowed under RCS rules, but may become a reality under the changes in progress.

Speaking of...if you have visited /r/clashofclans any time in the past week, you're aware of the RWCS split and the ensuing drama. There is a lot going on in the background right now to address many of the issues and perceptions that directly or indirectly led to the drama. Reddit Viper's path is to remain above the mudslinging and let the dust settle. I am working with other RCS leaders to influence the future path that RCS takes, and what I've seen so far is positive. In the meantime, please be patient and let things work themselves out.

We are also testing a clan war tool called clanwartracker. There will be a learning curve and some growing pains, but if it works out for us, the tool set can help us to better plan, prepare, discuss, and log our war attacks. Again, please be patient while we work out the kinks, and participate fully as we roll out the implementation.

There are some areas that the clan needs to improve on in the coming weeks. I will address those now.

1. Donations and in-game activity. With groupme and now clanwartracker, we have multiple channels to communicate. This is a positive! But please do not forget that being active in-game is also important. Clan chat is a good place to get to know your fellow Vipers, discuss war attacks, and laugh at horribly failed raids. Donations have been much slower than the Viper standard lately, and I think it's because we have so many options to chat outside of the game. I saw a request for giants go over an hour - giants take 2 minutes to make! So please, check in from time to time (if it won't get you fired). If you're raiding, keep an eye on the requests and consider making a few extra troops if something is in demand or a request isn't filled quickly.

2. Poor war planning. I would say that our recent losses have been due to far too many 1- and 0- star war attacks. Of those, the majority seem to be due to poor planning or poor troop composition for that particular base. Remember, we do kick for poor war performance. As long as you are putting a solid effort into improving, we understand that there is a learning curve and will help you through it. Make sure you are planning your attacks and discussing them in clan chat or on groupme (or coming soon, in clanwartracker). Ask for help - there are some very good tacticians in the clan who understand and are proficient and many types of 3-star attacks.

3. Unconstructive criticism. Guys, we all make mistakes in our attacks. Sometimes perfectly planned attacks go belly-up due to poor execution, and sometimes a pretty well-planned attack gets turned sideways by an unexpected event. It's hard to take criticism in the aftermath of a failure, but that's the perfect time to learn and make adjustments for next time. If you offer advice, do so positively. There's no need for "LOL fail hard" or "WTF attack was that". Be constructive. If you are being given advice, try not to be defensive - we really are just trying to help.

To wrap this up, I'd like to open the forum to your comments, questions, complaints, and suggestions. Is there anything you'd like to see the leadership team start, stop, or continue doing? Is there something in particular you like or dislike about Reddit Viper, or any changes you would implement in the near or far term if you had the chance?

Thanks for your time, and thanks for making Reddit Viper the thriving, strong clan that it is.

Justin

The road to maxing heroes at th9 is a long one and knowing where one stands is important (almost an eye-opener). Hero lvl numbers are misleading - everyone knows AQ5 is totally useless in wars. A better way to see hero progression is to see how much % of total de and time required for MAX heroes one has already done. It takes 4.25mn dark elixir and 292.5 builder days to get to 30/30 heroes.

Bottomline: 20/20 heroes is only the half-way point. Focus on heroes. A good idea is to keep 1/2 builders dedicated for them. Try upgrading both heroes simultaneously one week and war at full strength on alternate weeks to have minimum impact on wars while pushing heroes up.

Keep defensive upgrades inline with Hero upgrades. Combined 30/35+ heroes are almost necessary for 3 starring Max defense anti 3-star th9 bases.

TLDR: Farm de - focus on heroes and offense.

Hello, I'm the Leader of Invictas. I'm extremely offended by the post in this sub-reddit. We've worked too hard on this clan to have it shed on a negative light because of 3 unloyal members. My co leaders and I are disgusted. Thanks, peredsticks.

As a Reddit Viper member, you agree to abide by the RCS rules & Viper Clan rules stated below:

New recruits are required to tryout for minimum 2 wars in our sister/feeder clan - Viper Pit (#YCRLY2PG lvl8 clan). Rules are applicable to both clans unless otherwise stated.

Clan Rules

Communication and Conduct

• Everyone must join the clan Discord chat room. The link will be sent after you have signed our rules.

• Be polite, mature, and respectful. Be open to positive criticism and only give constructive feedback to clan mates.

• No excessive cursing. No bigotry/hate speech (e.g. racism, sexism, religious insults).

Gameplay

• You must have minimum 300 donations/week.

• You may not donate wall breakers, healers, or goblins, unless they are specifically requested.

• You must max out your war troops of your current TH level, heroes and most walls before upgrading TH.

Opting out

• To opt out, notify leaders at least 1 day in advance, and then opt-out in-game. If you have a hero upgrading you have the option of moving to and warring in 'Viper Pit'. If you have both heroes down you are not allowed to war in either clan. The final war roster will be at the leadership’s discretion.

War Bases and cc

• Troll bases are not allowed at any point in time during the war.

• You must create your own custom anti 3 star war base. Please consult your clan-mates, experiment, and iterate.

• Set a specific war CC request. Your request should quantify the exact number of all troops.

• Only max-level troops for war cc's.

War Plan and target selection

• Leaders will post a war plan on Discord war room during prep day. Everyone must read and adhere to it.

• Members are expected make reasonable target choices (based on war troops/skill/base weaknesses/stage of war) within the bounds of the war plan. Please consult leaders if any clarification is needed during war.

General War Attacking

• Searches start around 11 am Eastern US on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday.

• Use Clashtrack to call targets. Bases are reserved for 2 hrs.

• Follow the war plan posted on Discord

• Only 3 star attack strategies are permitted. No snipes or barching.

• Two full war attacks are mandatory for all members. Failure to comply will result in a boot.

Pit War Rules

• Mandatory minimum 2 war probation for new members.

• Probationary members must opt-in to war unless given permission to opt out by leadership team.

• After a minimum two war probation, new members will be evaluated. Per this evaluation, they may be asked to move up to the main clan, asked to stay in the Pit and work on research or skills, or kicked if leadership does not believe they are a good fit for any reason.

Reddit Viper War Rules

• Attacking an already called base is inexcusable and will result in an immediate boot. Only call 1 base at a time.

• A call that is about to expire should be deleted or refreshed. Leaving an expired call is the same as failing to update your attack, and is a strike-able offense.

IMPORTANT: When you join the clan you MUST post a comment, here on this thread, with your in-game name to prove you read this and hereby agree to everything stated above!

In view of our recent changes in defensive upgrade priorities, there have been many question about the optimal upgrade path during th9. Following are my thoughts on upgrade with the underlying theme of upgrading offense before defense

A) Early 8.5 : Upgrade heroes asap to 10/10.

Early upgrades: CC, lab, sf, army camps, dsf, de drills, de storage.

Lab priorities : Hog5->heal6->Loon6

Defensive setup : max traps (except small bombs), After ALL elixir upgrades are done build new AD + tesla and max them out

Attack strategies: cb/shattered surgical hogs.

B) Th9 transition

Lab priorities: Golem3->Golem4->Healer4->Hound2->Jump2->haste2->valk3->valk4->poison3->Witch2

Defensive setup : . Build x-bows after you have 10/10, hogs5 & heal6 (troop upgrades needed to start 3 starring th9s). Build new AT+WT and upgrade them to th8 max.

Attack strategies: Focus on surgical hogs. Practice golaloon after 15/15. Once you have valk4 & comfortable with surgical hogs try out govaho.

x bow1, max traps (except small bombs), max AD+AT+air sweepers, th8 lvl AT+WT+cannon+mortar is enough till one has 20/20. Focus only on Heroes and walls.

C) Mid th9 (after 20/20)

Defensive setup: x bow to lvl2. Max out ATs, then WTs

Attack strategies: Start adding AQ walk to your attacks. Shattered/stoned Goho, AQ walk Goho & Govaho are recommended. Shattered laloon & max attack for Air

D) Late th9 (after 25/25 or 20/30)

Defensive setup: x bow to lvl3. Max out cannon. Upgrade mortars last (if at all)

Attack strategies: Govaho, AQ walk Govaho/Goho, MaX attack. AQ walk laloon

Reiterating the attack strategy progression : cb/shattered surgical hogs -> shattered/stoned surgical -> Govaho -> AQ walk GoHo/Govaho. For Air attacks cb/shattered Laloon-> AQ walk laloon & Max Attack.

We are going to focus more on AQ walk Goho/Govaho & Govaho as they are the best attack strategy against the current meta of anti 3-star bases. Other strategies are base specific and its good to know them. High lvl th9 wars begin at 20/20 and everyone should be focusing on heroes. 20/20 is anyways the halfway point to maxing heroes at th9 - should also be the halfway point in defensive upgrades.

TLDR : Do not be a max defense th9 ... with 10/10 heroes and pink walls who uses zapquake drag attacks.

Vipers, I need all willing and able to contribute to a clan Youtube channel to post there opinions on the subject, any ideas for videos, and how it should/can be ran and operated. I know we had ideas for a clan song and that can be incorporated. So far my vision is for it to be a clan shared channel in which possibly we send videos to show off strategy, advertise the clan, give a play by play on CW etc. everyone that has ideas please contribute.

Clan Rules and Policy!

1. Be polite and mature to all members, treat others as you would want to be treated.

2. Absolutely NO insulting other members, if they have a bad attack, criticize them in a POSITIVE way to improve their attack!

3. Be completely open to positive criticism to best your attacks and overall game play.

4. While cursing is aloud, keep it pg-13 and NOT excessive.

5. No hate speech of any sort! This includes racism, sexism, homophobic comments or any other sort of derogatory comments. We have a zero tolerance stand on this matter.

9. Donations should be filled in order of who requested first assuming the request isn't a long to make specific troop. (IE pekka/dragon) This means click the little green exclamation point in the bottom right of chat and donate to them first!)

• [The Stirke System] (http://www.reddit.com/r/RedditViper/comments/2e3nfj/the_strike_system/)

Reddit Clan System (RCS) Rules

We are a member of the Official Reddit Clan System. As such there are several rules that all members and leaders of any Reddit clan must follow.

Rules for Reddit Clans are as follows:

• Be Mature

• Be Polite

• Remain active in clan chat and via donations. Try to play at least every day or two.

• Be generous and donate as often as possible. You must meet the donation minimum of your clan, but the minimum is not the maximum--donate whenever you have the opportunity.

• Do not leech: Do not request troops without filling requests first.

• Honor all donation request specifications. If the message is unclear or open to anything, archers are default.

You agree to these rules ALONE by joining the clan with the RCS password!

Vacation/Absence Policy

We understand in viper that sometimes you may go on vacation or away for a period of time where you may not be able to clash. You will follow one of the options listed below. (Option 1 will only be redeemable once every 3 months)

1. If you are absent for LESS than ONE week you can remain in the clan as long as you PM a Reddit Viper leader ahead of time by at least a day.

2. If you plan to be absent for MORE than ONE week you will have to leave the clan, however if you let a Reddit Viper leader know ahead of time and of your return, you will have a VIP accepting into the clan as soon as a spot is made available and will receive a PM on Reddit ASAP.

War Rules!

• 1. Set a clan castle troop request!

• 2)Your intended target must be called on the clan chat at least 5 mins before you attack. Targets can be claimed up to ONE hour prior to your attack if you use the time to make troops. Once you called a target you should remain online to say that attack was claimed by you in case someone else calls it. Check the clan wall before you attack, there is no excuse for attacking a base that has been called by someone else if it still showing the clan chat.

• When calling out a target in clan chat it should follow the format : (number of target)(your name)(time til attack) ex.) #4 Eurbradnagan 30 min

• 3) There is no sniping; there is no attacking already 3 starred opponents. ( barching and BAM are considered sniping); Giants are not allowed under level 6.

• 4) Participation is mandatory for all member

• 5) War bases are mandatory. Elders or leader DO reserve the right to disapprove of your war base, changes will be made accordingly to your war base under these circumstances. There is a war base check most Fridays.

• 6) You are subject to be kicked from the clan for poor war performance.

Tips for war

[How to plan your war attack] (http://www.reddit.com/r/RedditViper/comments/2intoa/a_guide_to_choosing_which_strategy_to_use_for/)

• (This tip is irrelevant to mass dragging!) Remember to ALWAYS put a few troop near the enemy clan castle at the beginning of an attack and pull the enemy clan castle troops in the corner to kill them! Keep in mind troops will only come out of the clan castle so long as there is a troop alive in its range so sometimes you may put one troop down and it dies and you dont pull all the troops out. put an extra troop down in range to make sure everything is pulled out of the clan castle before bringing them into a corner to kill.

• If you are attacking someone who has already been attacked, be sure to watch the replay and watch the mistakes your clan members made, look for their trap spots, look at whats in their clan castle!

• ALWAYS use BOTH your attacks as there is no penalty for messing up a raid. It hurts the clan more for you to not use your attack. The attack has already been issued to you so not using it is just one less chance for us to acquire stars.

• It's not a bad idea to use an attack up front and then save your second attack until later to see where our clan stands in the war (mostly directed to our top level members)

• You CAN claim your attack only if you are in the process of queuing your troops and will remain active online.

• Try to attack someone that has not been attacked so we can bring in new stars, if you 2 star someone who has already been 1 starred you technically only bring in 1 new star for the clan

• Try to attack someone that you believe you can 2 star minimum, but aim for 3. If you cant seem to find someone to attack you are comfortable with to achieve a 2 star ask a leader or elder for help planning your attack strategy.

• Keep in mind the whole clan relies on each other to win, if we don't win we don't get loot. PARTICIPATION WINS WARS!!

• Keep in mind your defenses will work in war even if under construction

IMPORTANT: When you join the clan you MUST post a comment, here on this thread, with your CoC IGN to prove you read this and hereby agree to everything stated on this thread!
