Real quick way to ruin a fun game. A ### #### kids game.

Define "ruin".

And dude, they were just demoted...not kicked out yet. We were just wanting to see if they were going to put in a serious effort or not. Our clan is FBG1...we put a lot of time into it and are wanting to be serious about wars. Thats our MO. That may not be for everyone and if so, they need to find another clan. Its not personal, just business.

Im trying to figure out the ##

A little drama this morning.

Ha! I honestly don't think its drama at all. Pretty clear what needs to be done in my book. It's been said a thousand times in this thread that nobody cares if you aren't good at the game as long as you seek/take advice to try to learn.The four members I mentioned have maybe 3 starred a base a total of five times the last three months and have probably chatted a total of five times in those last three months.

You can suck but ask for advice and stay forever. You can be decent and never ask for advice and stay forever. You can't do both.

If I remember correctly three of the members I mentioned came from the boog so they've been in an fbg clan for a very long time and still fall into the stink/no advice category. If we booted them, would anybody even notice? Doubtful so just do it imo and move on. Can't be the only one thinking it.

Just shoot me a PM of the names so we can keep them locked out of Quattro please (if you drop the hammer).I've done enough randon bannins ool to last a year this past 2 weeks.

Please pm me.

I may have missed it, but why are gowipes banned?

i'm going to assume i was one of the ones booted. and admittedly i have been terrible in wars of late. the edict to go to hounds and hounds only has thrown me for a loop. i just built one that was going to be hounds backed by dragons. but it appears i have been booted and can't even try it now.

i thought being active and one of the original members would be sufficient, but apparently not. maybe time for me to take a break anyway....

Please don't do the fbg1 thing. There's no such thing as a premier clan. We're just one of two clans we have here at fbgs that expects you to war and follow a plan when available.

But I'm with you on the sentiment. The clan is what it is. There are others that may fit some people better.

Struggling with Hounds as well myself over in Quattro and I'm as active as they come.

 

[culdeus]

I may have missed it, but why are gowipes banned?

That's not really the case, gowipes for TH9 are a 2 star solution in nearly 95% of cases. TH9s need 3 star solutions to compete at the higher levels.

Gowipes are fine for TH10 2 stars. That's where the focus should be in developing sound gowipe solutions to deal with the other clan's th10, not forcing the square peg/round hole in TH9.

I wouldn't say its premier, but the original, and thus, most serious of the clans.

 

[BigJohn]

Serious business is fine. Our whole group has been in fbg1 for months and not one word has been said. All of a sudden, we have 'probation' and 'deomtion' like were in the ####ing military. It's just not for us. We all try really hard and are definitely serious about wars. But in the end, we realize it's a game. Good luck.

 

[John Bender]

As blustery as I am about the Quattro being serious biz, as long as I can swear at will, I'm happy with whatever clan I'm in.

Without a word? We've been trying to get waacky to move his heroes in for months. we've been begging jwc and big case to build dragons and ask for advice before they go in. Far cry from "not a word".

I take responsibility for this, fully. There was some fog of war in the middle of the waacky/big john fiasco where we (I) thought you were part of that group. I have never really taken full accounting of who is with whom.

What happened was waccky got booted, and rightly so guy was a mess. we selected 4 other names to sit out the next war to sort of take a break and let us go as 45 and we were going to work with them to get them back on the plan. You were one of those.

There was confusion about your alliance with john and others and we (well I) booted the group as a whole.

I have no issue bringing you back on.

[John Bender]

Do we need to get the heads of the 4 families together here?

You talk about vengeance. Is vengeance going to bring your base back to you or my base to me? I forgo the vengeance of you booting my son's clan base. But I have selfish reasons, my youngest son was forced to leave his dark elixir unprotected because of this Quattro business. All right, now I have to make arrangements to bring it back here safely cleared of all these potting attacks. But I'm a superstitious man and if some unlucky accident should befall his DE storage, if he should get raided at 2 am by 55 furs and 12 wallbreakers, or if the xbow glitch reappears, or if he's struck by a bolt of triple lightening, then I'm going to blame some of the people in this room, and that I do not forgive. But, that aside, let me say that I swear, on the souls of my grandchildren's clan bases, that I will not be the one to break the peace we have made here today.

I've said it before. FBG1 needs some sort of mission statement and a policy. Seems some of the decisions this morning were a bit hasty. I understand there may be good reasons for suspending/banning but I can't say from my (lowly) vantage point that we operate all that smoothly. Feels more like a start-up than IBM, which is fine but there comes a point where things need to be cleaner and clearer. Who are the leaders? What are the expectations? Who can attack what village? What are our obligations to check in before attacking? What's being "decent"? One star? Two stars at +10? Occasionally posting our attack "policy" is in a thread that has 280 pages, a policy that seems to shift around, is not a solution. Should be on page 1.

And every decision to suspend or ban has repercussions. Many of us are tied together, tightly or loosely. A decision to ban could have a chain reaction like it did this morning. Perhaps a note to the Clan on the inbox explaining the suspension, seeking input and having a deadline would be a better approach.

And let's not forget. #### happens in people's lives, even those that take this game super seriously and want to do well for the clan.

 

[Sputnikv8]

I only witnessed the waacky removal. This one, had been building up. No communication from him and no response from many attempts to redo his base (he had both heros outside the walls for some reason). From what I recall, his first attacks were always per the plan, but, second attacks are, by nature, a group decision and he would just show up and fire. Well, this war he really mailed in both attacks. The first attack was a hodge podge of what looked like troops he built to donate and said "Meh, throw them in". The second attack was way lower than we needed a th10 and there were no spells or CC. He probably coulda been fine had he used spells and a CC there to get 3 stars.

Most of us are spending resources and time to make solid war attacks, that type of attack is a big "screw you guys, whatever" to all of us.

And yep. This is a game.

With the initial decision this was not a one time issue. The intention with the rest was to do a defacto probation, then things escalated from there.

I'm going to pen a formal apology to skinny. that part of this was completely my bad and I feel awful for it. the rest of it was collateral damage from the initial decision which was long overdue.

No worries, I like my clan! Won't be able to war until I get home from work today though.

 

[culdeus]

There is some confusion on the plan. I get that. In this war we were way overmatched by TH level and hero level. In those situations what I/we will try to do is recruit our lower TH9 with 3 star quality attack troops to clean up the low end TH9 so we can walk up the ladder, thus freeing our TH10 to take two TH10 shots for 2 stars each.

Most wars, in fact the prior 8 or so wars we had only required us to wipe out their TH9 and just get a smattering of stars in the TH10, this wasn't one of those wars.

 

[TenTimes]

No worries, I like my clan! Won't be able to war until I get home from work today though.

Hit any base you want, any time you want for the current war. Be ready to bring it for the real war friday evening.

I didn't even know that waacky being kicked was the first thing to happen. What pissed me off was I log in, and see the other guys getting demoted and I'm told they are being put on 'probation'. And, only my guys. This seemed much more like we were being singled out because they don't chat much and are not in the FFA. Between jwc and bigcase, they had gotten 7 stars this war, so it didn't seem to be about performance. If you don't want non-fbgs, just make that clear. I've been pretty active in both places and have never seen any issue with jwc or bigcase. Not one word to me at either place asking me to relay any information to any of them. Waacky is a different story. I knew there were issues with his heroes and I did mention it to him, but dude is my boss, so I'm not going in all gangbusters and forcing him to change it. In the end, I believe it was more about non-communication. If it truly was about performance, I would expect to see this 'probation' thing used a lot more. But, I doubt it.

Just since you mentioned it the 7 stars were on 4 attacks on the 47,49,and 50 bases one of them a second time. None of them for 3 stars. None of them with maxed out armies.

No, the issue was we had guys with max drags not using max drags to shut down low end th8 bases. It's been an ongoing problem.

I didn't even know that waacky being kicked was the first thing to happen. What pissed me off was I log in, and see the other guys getting demoted and I'm told they are being put on 'probation'. And, only my guys. This seemed much more like we were being singled out because they don't chat much and are not in the FFA. Between jwc and bigcase, they had gotten 7 stars this war, so it didn't seem to be about performance. If you don't want non-fbgs, just make that clear. I've been pretty active in both places and have never seen any issue with jwc or bigcase. Not one word to me at either place asking me to relay any information to any of them. Waacky is a different story. I knew there were issues with his heroes and I did mention it to him, but dude is my boss, so I'm not going in all gangbusters and forcing him to change it. In the end, I believe it was more about non-communication. If it truly was about performance, I would expect to see this 'probation' thing used a lot more. But, I doubt it.

Just since you mentioned it the 7 stars were on 4 attacks on the 47,49,and 50 bases one of them a second time. None of them for 3 stars. None of them with maxed out armies.

So, each townhall starts off with max armies now?

Anything less than 3 on those bases is essentially a 0. Members tried countless times to get them to use dragons and they kept using a combination of very odd troops for those low level bases. All the bases they hit had to be hit again to get 3, and without looking, i can say with 95% they were probably hit with dragons. To defend 7 stars on 4 attacks against those bases is not a good defense imo

Those in FBG2 that want to go over to Quatro, please do so with no worries. I'm about a week away from being able to play daily again, so I will keep the Boog open until then and we can decide final merge plans.

My Luke account will stay there with you. If you want to go see four, just make me Leader and I'll keep it there until you return.

yes buttworms is camped out in boog if you need a temp leader or w/e

I don't see him moving from there anytime soon

Current FBG1 Strategery version 4.2

First Attack Strategy

· Count the number of TH10 they have. Add that to your base count.

· If this is a TH9 your goal is to 3 star this base or see that it can be 3 starred by someone else.

· There are just three viable attack strategies for TH9

o Mass hogs – Must deal with clan castle and queen.

o Quad Hound – Deal with CC and/or Queen. If unsure, ask.

o PentaHound – Deal with nothing and push all in.

· First attacks on TH9 where your +X is a TH9, should avoid if at all possible.

o GoWIXX style raids of any composition.

----- Some exceptions here especially on bases with weak walls or few compartments. If unsure, ask.

o Loonian without sufficient tanks or a way to deal with CC and/or queen, if unsure, ask.

o Mass Dragons

· If your assigned base is not a TH9.

o You are free to attack any base with any army composition you wish anywhere on the map.

o Highest value target are the bases 1-5 TH10 using loons/drags/barch for 1 star. Consider that your ultimate objective.

o All TH8 and lower bases are first come first serve. No holding or reserving these bases at any time for anyone.

· To reiterate, If you have a +X attack you are to attack that base or trade it and stay within that range on first attack. If you don’t you can attack any base on the board at any time for any reason without warning. While nice to discuss this with the +X individual it is NOT required.

Second Attack Strategy

· With the ClanXP system in place our second attack strategy will be called by 9amEST. We will either be going for ClanXP or stars depending on the situation. If going for ClanXP attack bases with 0 stars, if going for the win go for bases where you can add one or more. If unsure, ask.

· If you did not have an assigned base on first round please get your second attack in as soon as possible.

· Goal is to get 2 or more on as many TH10 as possible. TH10 should likely employ the following strategies.

o PentaGolem

o Quad/Pent Hound

o Mass super furs or similar 310 style raid

· Some TH9 will be left with 0 1 or 2 stars. Where you can add stars to these bases do so as soon as you can. At this point GoWiXX strategy becomes viable to get TH9 bases to a safe 2 star.

· If you cannot add stars anywhere look at the TH10 bases and try to get 1 star, otherwise scout, or hit an easy base for loot.

[SIZE=23.9999980926514px]General Etiquette[/SIZE]

It's expected that you use your very best troops and use appropriate spells and CC on each attack. If you are unsure what to do ask, it's always advisable to ask for a plan or detail your plan for:

-Dealing with CC troops

-Dealing with AQ, if necessary

-Spells

-What to carry in your own CC

If you simply have no ideas then say so and we will work to come up with something.

With the ClanXP situation the potting calculus becomes more tricky. Always ask prior to building for or performing a pot.

This is way better than actual wars.

feels like a jerry springer episode with more nerdness and less whores

So how many legit accounts are actually in Boog?
