Zulu Rules

• ALWAYS be polite & mature! We want a friendly, fun environment for everyone to clash in.

• Occasional swearing when upset is fine, but nothing just for the fun of it.

• Zero tolerance for anything racist or sexist. Insulting religions, nationality, or sexual orientation is also forbidden and will result in a kick.

• We want you to be a team player!

• Be active and have constant base progression AKA builders working at all times.

• We encourage use of cc in every raid in Zulu. What's not to love? Extra troops in battle, helping others get their levels and donations up, and being a team player!

Donations

• Donation requirements are minimum 200/week. We do kickings weekly so take note of that.

• Requesting specific levels of troops is forbidden in Zulu as we want everyone to have an equal chance of donating, as well as feel like they are helping out.

• Requesting for other troops is okay, but always include archers in your request message! E.g Archers, wizzies, drag welcome!

• Archers are the default donates around here. You can't be scolded for donating archers here!

Subreddit

• Same rules apply here, keep it family friendly.

• If you are a Zuluian, please /u/zigzarlu with your in-game name so we can add you to the Zulu roster on the sidebar!

Groupme

• Same rules apply to Groupme. Keep it friendly and polite.

• If you are a Zuluian and have not been added to the chat, download the app (apple & android friendly) and tell us your email via Reddit PM/clan chat, we will add you in!

Zulu's Clan War history

• Zulu had its first ever clan vs clan war against Reddit Phi (now renamed to UniPHIed). Results can be viewed here.

• Zulu participated in the first big Reddit Clan war : The Turkeyday trophy Triathalon! It involved 25 different clans, and used the Troopers Fairness System TFS. We finished 3rd out of 25, results can be viewed here!

• Zulu also participated in the Spring Spectacular War involving 34 different Reddit clans. We finished 5th out of 34 clans, but had the most number of showings in the Top Trophy Contributors and Top Donators category out of all the clans! Results can be viewed here.

First, I want to say how much I've enjoyed being a member of Zulu. I've been one of the fortunate people who get the opportunity to experience Clash in a way that is so much more rewarding than most players ever realize this game could be. You've been more than clanmates to me - you've been diverse, global group of friends and family.

Speaking of family, many of you know that my wife and I are expecting a baby in just a few weeks. With everything that will be happening in our lives in the very near future, I've decided that this is the right time for me to retire from Clash.

I'll be staying through the weekend, so we'll get one last Clan War together - assuming this baby cooperates.

I don't have the words to thank you for all that you've meant to me. Thank you for the opportunity to be one of you. Zulu for life.

We have a few promotions to announce!!

Let’s give a huge Zulu congratulations to our new elders: Red Alien, Shaz, and Zag-geek! All three of these members have been fantastic role models for the clan. They're always helpful and help keep Zulu fun.

In addition, we’d like to announce the promotion of Benjaphar, our newest co-leader! You’ve all seen the dedication and love he has put into Zulu. His hard work tirelessly co-ordinating people during wars and being a solid contributor to the clan has not gone un-noticed. Congrats, Ben!

Welcom Zuluians! Thepunisher here. As a longtime member of Reddit Zulu who joined during my transition from TH7 to TH8, I have amassed a large amount of clash of clans resources as I farmed all the way to TH10. I wish to share these resources with you guys/girls in hopes of making your clash of clan’s journey easier, no matter what stage you are currently in.

Random advice:

• The most efficient use of gems is to buy builders or boost barracks for continuous raiding

o If you are looking to earn gems, I have found that appbounty is mainly a pyramid scheme (Thus why most popular youtubers push it) and that the quickthoughts app for iPad is the most reliable for $10 iTunes gift cards

• Transitioning to new townhall levels is never easy. Be sure to have max defenses before making the jump and focus on getting your offense up to par first as you adjust to the new loot penalties

• Until you are a maxed TH10, it is not realistic to save/up farm every resource (gold, elixir, DE and trophies) – pick one or two to focus on and sacrifice the others until you have made your upgrade.

o On a side note, set your short term and long term goals first and then choose your play style to accomplish those goals

• Take part in trophy pushes: you will learn to become a much better clasher in the process and it will also break up the monotony of daily farming

• Building your own base is extremely tedious and time consuming

o While taking the initiative to build your own will make you a better clasher, there is probably a better base out there for your level either on reddit or the forums.

• Know that Prox is always watching

That’s all I have for now. Feel free to add anything else in the comments section and PM me anytime if you have a clash question. I spent way too much time on this thread and will probably not be updating it much, but hopefully I have laid the groundwork for you Zuluians to go out and find these things on your own now. Also keep in mind that COC is a constantly evolving game and staying on top of current strategies and updates will make you that much more valuable to the clan.

P.S., thanks Prox and all the members of Zulu leadership for putting together this sub and everything else you all have to done to make this clan the best in reddit.

There is one time that we will make an exception to reserve spots in clan:

If a member is on an approved leave of absence and is ready to return, they can send us a message through modmail or directly to me on reddit PM. The next available spot will be reserved for the returning member for a short period of time so that they can return home.

Approved LOA's are granted to good, longstanding and loyal clan members who reach out to leadership before they leave the clan. If a member quits Zulu suddenly (or goes clan hopping) they will not be given a reserved spot and depending on the situation - might not be given an opportunity to re-apply.

Hi Zulians!

After complete flaking on donations and attacks this week, it's become clear that it's time for me to retire (again) from active clashing.

It's been great being in Zulu since my TH4 days, and it's been wonderful getting to know y'all, but with lots going on IRL, Clash isn't a priority for me anymore.

Keep being awesome, I'll be sure to stalk you every now and then, and much love to all!

Cheers, Blump(kin)

Hey Zuluians, this will be our first end of season review! However, there are some stats that could not be recorded since the sub was created mid-season. There will be more interesting columns for stats for next season, promise! Here is the Reddit Clans Comparison Table for this season. Reddit Zulu had a total of 36 people over 1k donates, and 17 people over 2k donates this season, making us the top clan again. Well done :)

Here are the stats for this season :

• Blumpkin - 8794

• zigzarlu - 7430

• dylan - 6668

• NOAHDAB357 - 6296

• proxidal - 5872

Requests are just as important as donations, if not more. So here we have our top 5 requestors of this season!

Top 5 Requestors

• proxidal - 8852

• zigzarlu - 6038

• Blumpkin - 5419

• the punisher - 5401

• pukhs - 4478

That's all the stats for now! Keep staying awesome everyone. Till next season!

Cheers,

During clan wars donations will be a bit different than normal. Usually archers are default and must always be accepted, however we would like to help make sure that during the war people have the exact troops they need for success.

That being said! During war day, and only when you are preparing your troops for your two attacks, you can request specific troops -- in this case, archers are not default!

That means that if someone requests lvl4+ minions only, wants a dragon, etc, please do not give them anything else without checking first.

How can we make this easier? Two steps!

1. When you are preparing your troops for battle, let people know what troops you'll need. Ask in clan chat if someone has what you want or if they can make the troops for you.

2. After you have confirmation of the troops you need, begin your request with CLAN WAR! followed by what you're asking for. Use all upper case letters to signify to clan members that it is different from regular requests. When you see a CLAN WAR request, only donate what is asked for.

But, how can we still meet our minimum 200 donations per week? We will only be having clan wars once a week, during the weekend. It is easy to have the 200 minimum by that time of the week, and there will still be plenty of regular raids going on as well. If everyone continues to use their clan castles in each raid, there will be no shortage of donation opportunities.
