Clash of Clans!

[obie]

Anybody else here play Clash of Clans? I have my own clan, As Palaces Burn, and I am having the hardest time finding active players you participate in the clan wars. Every time I start a clan war, at least 5 people leave during the war before playing their turns, which absolutely hoses any chance of winning.

I just cleaned house today, kicked out almost everyone because they either dont donate or they dont play. Time to rebuild!

There is a few threads on here with homebrewers who play. Finding any players who are loyal to a clan are few and far between so good luck on that. I'd advise joining one of the clans on here, where you will likely have better luck with consistency.

I almost walked away from the game due to the frustration of war bailers and kid drama. I happened upon an adult crew, all US players, no drama, and all players must use both attacks in war. It is a fun group of active players. I will pm the clan number if you are interested in joining. Good luck and war on!

I'm in a clan with mostly guys I work with. I'm pretty new, so not a major contributor, but we have fun with it.

Hey peeps... Check out Homebrew (green/white shield), a level 4 adult clan of likeminded homebrewers. We war a few times a week and even though we lose as much as we win, have fun with it. It's a good group of folks who donate willingly, too. 2k trophies and TH 8+ are preferred but if you are close and come from the forum, we'd have you all the same. Give it a look if you are a high level CoC'r and let them know I sent you (then get promptly laughed at ;-) ).

Hmmm. Someone kicked my son's digital sand castle over. Hopefully learning is shown. Allow me to explain:

My son started playing Clash of Clans a while back with a couple kids from his TKD studio. He's already learned a hard lesson about in-game purchases so I wasn't too concerned about that but this was the first time he'd been involved in a game with access to the internet at large. In order to understand what he started talking about non-stop I downloaded the game onto my tablet and joined his clan. I specifically requested a "normal" membership because I wanted the kids to manage their own clan. I piped up with tactical, operational, and strategic TTPs every now and then but all clan decisions like membership invites were solely the domain of the kids.

I noticed some things that bothered me right away. The clan is open and anyone can join. I was hoping that the clan would stay within the kids' circle of friends but the kids needed more players in their clan in order to do some advanced things so I kept my mouth shut. Another incentive that the kids used to bring in members was to promote people as soon as they joined in order to encourage them to stay - Clash of Clans players are a fickle bunch, you see. Again, alarm bells were ringing inside my head but I did an admirable job of keeping my mouth shut.

So this morning I saw a little notice on the top of my tablet that I had "Clan Mail". Since I'm on vacation I've got a little more time to play so I logged in to find out that I had been kicked out of the clan and banned from re-joining by one "Brock Lesnar". Evidently one of the anonymous new members had entered the clan, gotten promoted, and then kick/banned all the members he could before leaving the clan. Needless to say my son and the other leader were distraught. I was also much less than quiet.

The good news is that it's a game. And no money is being lost/spent by the kids so it's not a big deal. This is also the perfect time for everyone to learn a little bit about human nature, the internet, and how people who have WWE-themed screen names are not to be trusted. Overall I could not have created a better object lesson about the principles of trust and verification if I had tried. So thank you Brock Lesnar. My kids learned a couple of very good lessons from your antics and I can only hope that you learn the same lessons sometime soon.

People feel they have license to do stupid things when they have no actual face to show.

Glad you found an opportunity to teach in this.
