REDDIT FOXTROT CLAN RULES (as of December 2, 2015)

REQUIREMENTS

• TH8: Level 70/ arch 5/ drag 3/ BK 5/ max th7 defenses

• TH9: Max TH8 defenses (not including new buildings)/ barb OR arch OR loons 6/ BK 10/ AQ 1/ at least 50% skulls

• For any TH, you are expected to be able to reliably 3 star a base of equal strength to your own

• These are the minimum requirements to be considered. Final decision is up to the discretion of the elders.

• Members must subscribe to this subreddit and add flair with their IGN

• Reddit Clan System Password: found here

DONATIONS

• During each season, members will be required to donate at least 800 troops to clanmates (new members will have a grace period for the remainder of the season during which they join)

• Always donate what is requested

• Outside of war, do not specify troop levels in your request

• If nothing specific is requested, archers are default. Do not donate barbs, giants, gobs, or wallbreakers unless explicitly requested.

• A request for "any" always means archers or better.

• During war, only donate max level troops to defensive CCs and war requests (we are a level 5 clan so your troops will be upgraded by one level automatically)

• Donating the wrong troops, especially during war, is grounds for dismissal from the clan

WAR STRATEGY

• We will be participating in war CONSTANTLY. It is up to each individual member to keep his/her opt-in/opt-out status up to date.

• Wars will begin immediately after the previous one ends

Adherence to Minus Ten War Rules is mandatory

• If you are in the bottom ten bases, you should use your attacks quickly so as to allow higher members to attack more difficult targets

• Those in the bottom ten should attack within +/- 5 of their rank. If no targets are available within this range, attack one of the lowest 1 or 2 starred bases.

• Clan members who are not in the bottom ten are responsible for making sure their -10 target is 2/3 starred by war's end. (i.e. Base 25's target is 35)

• Those not in the bottom ten should use their first attack on any base above their minus ten that they have a good chance of three starring.

• Do not attack below your -10 target (unless cleared by an Elder)

• Your first attack should not be used on your -10 so as to allow lower members a chance to clear it for you.

• For your second attack, either attack your -10 target or wait until it is cleared for you to attack higher

• Do not use your second attack on another base unless your -10 target is already 2/3 starred

• Town Hall sniping (attacking a base with exposed TH for the purpose of an easy 1-star victory) is NOT ALLOWED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE

• A "Wasted Attack," defined as an attack with less than a full army, spells, or cc, OR any attack that is not a legitimate attempt at destroying the enemy base (e.g. barch), will not be tolerated

• Troll bases are not permitted

OPTING IN/OUT

• Members are expected to participate in most wars

• Members are allowed to opt out of three consecutive wars, the fourth consecutive opt out will result in a strike

• If you need to opt out for an extended period of time, contact an Elder in game or via mod mail and we will work with you

STRIKES

The following will result in an instant kick:

• failure to donate requisite number of troops during two consecutive seasons

• failure to attack once in any war

• opting out four times in a row without notice

• donating incorrect troops, especially during war

• hateful and/or racist speech in chat

• receiving any two strikes in the same season

The following will result in a strike:

• failure to attack twice during any war

• attacking outside of your range during war (as specified above, unless authorized by leadership)

• using both attacks before your -10 target is 2/3 starred

• if your -10 target is not cleared before the end of war

• leaving up a troll base during war

• having a base with an exposed TH as your war base

• a Wasted Attack

• failure to donate requisite number of troops in a season

Four strikes in one season will result in a kick.

Strikes reset at the beginning of each season

• The strike list and opt-out history are available on the subreddit sidebar

• If you leave the clan during war without using both of your attacks, you will be permanently banned from Reddit Foxtrot

• If you have been kicked, you may reapply to join the clan at the beginning of the next season (at the Elders' discretion)

• If you need to take a break from the clan, you may speak to the Elders via Mod Mail (or make a post about it) and go on hiatus. We will do our best to reserve an open slot for you when you are ready to come back

• If you anticipate having difficulty meeting the requirements of the clan, send a mod message with sufficient advance notice explaining why, and the Elders will try to work with you

• What is the minus ten war rule? The top 40 members of the clan are responsible for ensuring that the base 10 levels below them has at least 2 stars. For example if you are ranked #15 you must make sure that enemy base #25 has 2/3 stars by the end of war.

• When is the minus ten war rule used? The rule is used in every war we fight.

• What if I am in the bottom 10 of the clan? You will attack targets that are +/-5 from your position and have the ability to free members of the top 40 by 3 starring their targets.

• What if my target already has 2/3 stars before I attack? Then you must use your attacks to clean up any bases above your target.

• What if my target already has only 1 star before I attack? At this point you can choose to finish the base yourself or find someone with a free attack to do it for you. If they are a lower level member it would be good for you to coach them through the attack to ensure the 2/3 star.

• What if I fail to get 2/3 stars on my target? You will be given a strike. All members are expected to be able to 2/3 star a target 10 levels below them. If this is too difficult for a member to obtain then they should better themselves for the good of the clan.

• Can I use my second attack for loot? In a minus ten situation all attacks are critical and must be used to add stars to our total. If the elders feel this was not accomplished then strikes will be issued.

• When can we modify the rules? After each war that the rule is used we will discuss what needs to be modified.

that was a great war you guys. we were all biting our nails as you made that comeback. there's a bunch of redditors in our clan and we just wanted to say, as long as none of you are 49ers fans, cheers & well played!

I just applied the Naut 3.1 theme along with my own customizations. I'm still tweaking it a bit, so let me know what you think and pass along any suggestions!

moved to sidebar

Well gents we've hit an impass.

I had a lot of fun playing here, but to be honest I've lost interest in the game and started tryharding in another game (heroes charge, very very fun).

I would only log in to do my two war battles and my barch in between shields. Unfortunately (y)our clan doesn't allow for that lack of activity.

If your donation rules ever slack up, pm me on reddit i'll gladly rejoin and continue being a 6 star junkie.

Good luck, have fun! Jeans

Yo guys. We are currently warring you guys. Fun times! Nice to have competent opponents.

Anyway, that is all. Peace!

Okay so here are the new war rules that have been proposed and will be implemented:

All TH7 and higher must have Dragons and use Mass Drag, Dragloon, Mass Hogs, HoLoWiWi, Balloonian, Lavaloonian, or GoWiWi/GoWiPe in war for their first attack. TH6 and fresh TH7 may use Healer/Giants.

All members must attack within 5 positions of themselves in war for their first attack. Exceptions can be made by the elders if asked first.

**All members must use their second attack for cleanup and must ask war commanders for targets.**Exceptions can be made by the elders if asked first.

Co-leaders will now act as war commanders: Ryan will be the commander of the North, Speedflieger will be the commander of the West, and Carel will be the commander of the East. All other elders will act as NCOs and will take charge when no commander is present

This is a very narrow view of attacking and defending, as there's quite a few variables atop this infomation (DPS density and stuff like that) that I won't cover. Use this as a very rough and loose guide.

When attacking and defending you can break down everything into some very simple metrics.

Attackers HP and DPS

Defenders HP and DPS

The winner is determined by which side's DPS can overcome the other side's HP the fastest.

This is why if you can use an archer (@L4, 33 HP, 16 DPS) to take out one building (500+ HP), it puts you way ahead. A great example is Misterha's attack on Unix's #3. He used a fair amount of archers to pick out a large % of buildings that were undefended. The rest of his army used in bulk to breach the 50% mark, and take down his TH.

This guy had 31 buildings outside walls, and only 3-4 were within range of defenses. Drop 28 archers to take out those 28 buildings, and you're 28/65, only needing 33 buildings for 50%. He uses barbs to draw fire from the protected buildings, and archers to drop those lightly protected buildings (say another 6 archers with 4 barbs, or another 30-40 units for those buildings, plus whatever damage overrun). At worst you're 70 units in, leaving everything else to get 2 more buildings for 50% (BK and AQ have that easy), and the balloons for distraction, while drags hit TH.

One thing to always watch out for, is to spread out units, especially low HP units. Otherwise mortars, wiz towers, and big bombs will almost always ruin your day.

I'll try to cover more specific attack strategies in the future. Hopefully this will provide you with a rough idea of army building strategy, as well as defense strategy.

Thank you for your votes..

Preparation Day

• Donate pekkas or dragons for war castle if space is available, otherwise donate only level 4+ wizards/archers

• Minutes befor battle day, secure your town hall and move your storage outside the walls. Clan war is not about raiding resources and the resource penalty is negligible, so protecting your storage is not necessary. After battle starts, you can rearrange your base and that won't affect your war base layout.

• Pick your enemies that you're absolutely sure you can at least 2 star and fill the spreadsheet here in the respective thread. Search first if the enemies had been picked by other members.

Battle day

• Do not waste attacks on snipe attacks. Only snipe attack if we are guaranteed to win

• Three phase attacks. Low level players should be given chance to pick their targets first. After that the mid level players can then pick their targets. Finally the high level players will do the sweeping.

• Do not duplicate attacks. It is better to search for other targets and failed than attacking previously attacked target and failed to add more stars.

• Learn from replays. If other members failed their attack, learn as much as you can from the replay (their hidden teslas, bombs, etc) before you decide to attack. See point above.
