I will eventually read the next 10 pages, but was this clan scrapped in favor of another?

Agreed. Will be more mindful next time and leave some things to upgrade during the TH upgrade time.

How do I join? I found an invite-only ffguys with 33 members, and requested to join. Apparently that was wrong. What is the FBG clan name (a search yields many), and are there openings?

Yep, castle upgrades are important. You'll notice the difference when you can hold 20-25 at a time.

Thanks, that was quick! Now I just have to figure out how to donate. Who needs some level 2 goblins?

So, more "things I was too oblivious to notice".
When you're in the barracks screen, instead of hitting a troop button 15 times to queue them up, you can just hold down the button and after a second or two it'll scroll them fast.
Also, when you are setting up your base, notice how if you move a building and then drop it, for a second or two you'll see a white halo around the building a grid square away from it. You can't just click on the building, you have to move it and release it, even if just back to the same spot you picked it up from.
Any squares inside the brighter white are places that an attacker cannot spawn his troops. Anything not in brighter white can be a place troops will spawn. This is how you can tell if, for example, you're leaving a gap inside of your walls where someone can spawn inside them. You can also use it to see just how close you're letting people get to your walls to spawn their troops by doing this. I've got my resources ringing my walls close in, then a ring of non-resource buildings outside of it (builders, lab, spell hut, barracks, camps) that don't leave in gaps in that white halo. This way wall breakers and other units have to spawn far away from my walls, making it more difficult for someone to time getting them to the wall between mortar shots or my other units firing on them. Though they can mow down my non-essential buildings, all I care about right now are resources, not trophies, so no loss.

When someone else requests, the chat window will show their name with a Donate button. Click on it, and it brings up a window with your troops on it. Click on the ones you want to give.
To use the troops on defense, if you're offline just leave them in your castle, and if an enemy shows up inside the white radius you see when you click on the building, they leave the castle to fight them.
To use them on offense, when you're actually doing the attack, you'll see the clan shield as one of the options of types of troops you can deploy in the battle. Just click on it and and on the map and they'll spawn at that location.

When cycling through villages to hit, I saw one defensive setup that was really interesting. It was a guy that was several TH levels above me so he had a lot more walls available than me. He had single sections of wall spaced out quite a ways out from his central setup on two sides of his village. They were kind of a zigzag pattern so kind of like this:
. ' . ' . ' . '
It forced spawns to be all the way out to about the edge of the map on those sides. So there was a HUGE buffer troops had to cross to get to the central area where they would be attacked the whole way while crossing.
I'm not sure if those walls would actually hold troops up more if an enemy had to actually break through them, but it was interesting anyway.

Thanks! So, the troops on defense, are they one-time use? Like a trap? Or do they stay until I deploy them in a raid?

If they get killed on defense, they are gone. If they survive, they stay in the castle for future battles.

Anyone else get notifications on their device that troops are ready before they're actually ready in-game? So annoying.

I found that dropping trophies on purpose doesn't help too much at lower levels (My TH is lvl4 and have ~500 trophies).
When you drop to around 500 trophies, the easy targets with lots of resources are very hard to find. Most just have a few thousand gold and elixer. Towns with lots of G&E are fellow sandbaggers with lots of defense.
Oh well, it'll be a whole day until my giants are researched into level2 so I'll be poor for a while. And no one will attack me and give me sheild cuz I have nothing to loot.

Yeah, I gotta figure out how to turn off notifications on this in general. If I forget to mute notifications at night this stupid thing is dinging anytime something finishes or some Japanese guy attacks me.

I plan on going on a raid binge some time this weekend so I can get 750 tropies and the 10 gems for the accomplishment.My experience as well. I'm trying to level back up.

Although, if people keep insta-surrenderring to me, I may not need to work very hard to get trophies.

CoC will run specials where u can boost your gold mines and elix producers for one day at the cost of only 1 gem each. Normally it's 10 or something. Over Xmas/new years its was around 3 weeks long. So do the math, you always want to keep at least that much in reserve. Other than that, I'd horde them til later in the game when upgrades cost more and u can buy the extra coin that way.
Update: I'm back up to 650 and it's much easier to find easy targets with resources stock piled. I think our theory was correct.I plan on going on a raid binge some time this weekend so I can get 750 tropies and the 10 gems for the accomplishment.Although, if people keep insta-surrenderring to me, I may not need to work very hard to get trophies.My experience as well.

I'm dumb. Figured out how to turn off notifications for CoC. That was easy. No more notifications at 3am that Chin Yu attacked me.

Go into settings on your device, click on Application Manager, click on Clash of Clans and there should be a check box for notifications.

Yes there are two shields you can receive....12 hours and 16 hours. I believe that you get the 12 for any attack on you that results in a loss. You get 16 when your city reaches something like 80% destruction.

Clan has an opening. I had to join my buddies clan so I could send him some level 2 troops

Damn this company prints money!
There is a war one too, Boom Beach. Same concept it looks like.
Launched in Dec. No doubt the guys who blow thier load on CoC will fork over the dough to get on top of the leaderboard in this one too.
I remember when the Lvl 11 walls came out in CoC (the fire ones I think) One guy had them all upgraded in a day, I think the calculation was $1000 or something in gems.
