[GregR]

The following folks did not participate in this last war. These are the candidates to be bumped if/when we fill up before next war.

aeneas - seems absent from game for some time

colly wobblys

Odin33

someguy - also absent for some time

Jason

Xv Prime vX

If something just got in the way and you couldn't participate then let us know. But if we don't hear anything you may get bumped. And if you are done with the game or not interested in war, then go ahead and check out on your own.

What time does fbg2 war end? I want to wait until then to boot inactives and low levels so they have somewhere to go. May need a little coordination to shuttle between the clans.

I'm Xv Prime vX and I'm online daily(hourly) but I don't participate in clan wars because I'm usually far inferior to opponent bases. I'm only level 21.

If you need to boot me for someone more efficient, that's fine.

jason / Odin checked in on chat, didn't attack because was a low level.

 

[odin33]

Igbomb

I play as both odin33 and jason (lowercase). Wasn't sure I was high enough level to play th7 and th6 respectively. Didn't want to be counter productive and didn't/don't know rules for war. Newb here. Play every day trying to catch up but jason I'd is iPad and only play twice a day. If there's a minor league I'm happy to go down a level.

Odin33 I'd is a day or two from kicking off th8. Jason Id is a ways from th7 maybe 3 days.

 

[odin33]

Thx Greg r for vouching for me and all the tips.

 

[igbomb]

That leaves aeneas, colly wobblys and someguy, all of whom seem to be fairly quiet recently. I'll likely punt them tomorrow.

I know it isn't a part of the poll, but is it safe to say that if we move fbg1 to 2 wars that we also want to incorporate the TH7+ policy?

No worries. To be clear, for both you and Prime, you can't mess things up in a war. Even if you attack and fail, win or lose is based on total stars only. So go for it. Now if you see it all as hopeless I get not wasting resources. But most of the time we have at least one base on the other side with an exposed town hall. You guys should hit those if for no other reason than loot. I think we'd all understand if a lot of the bottom ten just went for honeypots.

 

[GregR]

If you guys want to go with minimum TH levels we can. I don't personally see much need for it though.

I like the fact we're able to help the lower level guys, it's a huge advantage for them. Though I don't know, maybe they would rather do it that way so they get more war opponents they have more chance against.

I'm willing to go with the majority, but I'm not going to be one calling to split it up by level.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Probably need another poll. I'm not for the TH7 min.

 

[Dickies]

I don't really see a min TH level making any difference for war. The matchmaking system is pretty solid IMHO.

 

[GregR]

Ok, min TH level question added to poll. If you already voted, just delete your vote and vote again to be able to vote it.

 

[EYLive]

The poll results are pretty definitive so far. Non-fbg friends and family haven't chimed in but we can spread the word once a final decision is reached.

 

[EYLive]

I've begun the long upgrade to TH8. The next 8 days will be a nice little vacation for my builders with the occasional purple wall erection.

 

[bshell27]

Fbg2 declare yet? I hate missing out. My IRL clan declared and we have 9 1/2 hours left.

 

[thecatch]

Fbg2 declare yet? I hate missing out. My IRL clan declared and we have 9 1/2 hours left.

Usually 9-10 am eastern.

You guys full over there? I might abandon ship

 

[mw2222]

Just added my vote. I am hhh in the Boog.

 

[igbomb]

I'm going to put arge on the boot list as well. He was a last minute participant in the war, which is probably ok in itself, but he has 0 donations or received troops and hasn't attacked anyone in more than a week.

 

[igbomb]

Right now fbg1 is at 38, about to drop to 35 today.

That leaves 15 spots for folks to fill. Given the polling results thus far, anticipate two wars this next week in fbg1 and going forward. If that's your thing, come on over.

And if you're a seasoned guy who is in the Boog for this upcoming war but plan to switch over, just let us know and we'll plan to keep you a spot in the clan for when that war ends.

 

[sartre]

Once you have used your two attacks, you can leave the clan and join the other one if there is some fear of missing before they declare war. You just can't check back in and see the progress of the current war. You still get your loot and credit for the war.

This is interesting info SCBF. I just assumed that you had to be present at the conclusion to win.

Iggy I usually head over Sunday sometime once my other war is over. If a spot is open that's fine but don't hold one for me, I don't want to keep folks out that have been carrying water for the clan(s).

I will be switching back from FBG2 after the current war.

 

[culdeus]

I think this would be a great war to attempt a no DE, period gameplan. I think it's doable these guys are AWFUL.

 

[igbomb]

I think this would be a great war to attempt a no DE, period gameplan. I think it's doable these guys are AWFUL.

When did the war kick off? I figure we give a 6-8 hour time between the end of that one and the start of the fbg1 war, depending on how quick we fill.

So we'll likely kick off fbg1 sometime Saturday afternoon.

 

[MrVegas21]

I voted for 2 wars a week in fbgs with no minimum TH level.

The limiting factor for me participating in wars has always been DE troop donations. I don't mind helping out and want all of us to be successful in war, but I can't afford losing 5k each war. I will continue to donate as much as I can, but there might be some wars where I am not able to.

The coolest thing about our clans is how much everyone has improved which is why I voted against a TH minimum. I don't think having lower level guys in the clan for war really hurts us that much. The reason we dominate in wars is because of our organization and participation. Most wars we could probably win if everyone who attacked just got 1 star.

Keep up the good work guys!

I'll be switching to FBG1 after the Boog war (jrk1975)

[Brony]

Thanks for setting up the poll. Good to get some clarity on the issue. There are no right / wrong answers on how to set up on the clan and it's tough to please 80+ people.

I'll be switching over as well. (Shoot_Me_Now)

 

[Bull Dozier]

Do we have a proposed schedule for the wars in each clan now? I voted for one war, but it looks like that makes me a fbg2 candidate. However, I've enjoyed my time in fbg1 and hesitate to make the switch. If the proposed war day in fbg2 stays at midweek, it makes sense for me to switch though.

Pretty much where I am.

 

[culdeus]

I wasn't trying to leave people out by saying no <TH7. I was just saying from an ROI perspective we are getting better opponents in FBG1 which has more higher TH types in it, as a rule. So my assumption is that the higher level guys you can pool together the better shots we get at better clans with more loot to hit.

I think this last FBG1 war was the first time I've ever really come out positive on the ledger from an ROI perspective. FBG2 have been largely an elixer drain and DE drain, but still fun.

I mean for contrast in this war I bet their #1 is only going to payout about 280/280/800 where in the FBG1 war this was the payout at about the #12-15 range.

If constant war is to be sustainable we can't expect people to attack for peanuts.

I really don't even mind the negative ROI wars, I like to kick ### and that's what we do. I make so much farming sub 200 that I don't even look at the wars as a resource builder. I can get more DE with three lightning strikes in 15 seconds at sub 200 than I can in a clan war.

I've been TH8 for about a month or so, although my other stuff is behind the curve upgrade wise, so right now gold and elixir are very useful to me to complete all the stuff I neglected on the run to TH8.

 

[thecatch]

We've been over this, but I don't mind losing some elixir every war for a big cash and DE payment.

How are you benefiting from sub 200 at th8? I would love to get back down there but when I did it, there was nothing for me. I made 1100 DE in the last war. Are the people down there printing the stuff.

I consistently find freebies (collectors and storages lined up with no walls/defense) in the 150/150 range that I can clear with 5 goblins. I've hit a few that were 400/400/1500 like that as well. There are also some TH9+ sub 200 with massive defense, but with DE storages sitting in the middle that I can get ~750-1000 DE from with 3 lightning strikes. As plentiful as elixir is, 54k elixir to get 1k DE is well worth the investment. It takes patience though, I hit next quite a bit. But if you can dedicate a couple of hours it's not hard to rack up a couple million of each with nothing but goblins, with some DE mixed in as a bonus.

 

[AcerFC]

thanks. i may need to try one more time

 

[culdeus]

I'm just not going to zap pop DE except on a revenge.

 

[Cyclones]

I'm just not going to zap pop DE except on a revenge.

Yeah, probably a ##### move, but I've had it done to me so I'm game for it too.

 

[Cyclones]

Check the replay I just posted, those are all over the place down there. 5 gobs for 250k of each.

 

[Kanil]

I don't know if this has been brought up but if we do go to 1 clan 2x/week wars and 1 clan 1x/week war you would not need much break between war 1 and 2 in the first clan. For example:

Clan 1:

War 1 - Starts Mon @8AM - Ends Wed @8AM

War 2 - Starts Wed @9AM - Ends Fri @9AM

Clan 2:

War 3 - Starts Fri @ 7PM - Ends Sun @7PM

That gives 10 hours to switch between wars 2 and 3 and then 13 hours to switch between wars 3 and 1.

The current war should end around 8am Eastern Saturday morning. No use in waiting until Monday morning to start the next rotation.

War 1 - start 8pm Saturday / end 8pm Monday

War 2 - start 9pm Monday / end 9pm Wednesday

I'm TH7 and was raiding sub200 last night without much to show for it until I got the rare 200k gold easy base. I hope to have your type of luck when I get to TH8.
