Reorganization and violations from war vs BlackHaze

 In light of how poorly the low-level players in our clan consistently perform, I've decided to change the clan to invite only and add requirements for joining.

Namely, to join players must have -
Town Hall level of at least 7
Spell Factory level of at least 3
Troop capacity of at least 180
Clan Castle level of at least 3
Dragons unlocked

Players that are currently in the clan are not required to meet the requirements, but if they are kicked for not following the rules or leave, they will need to meet the requirements to be let back in.

To fit this policy, we are changing to invite only but removing the trophy limit.


In unrelated news, here are the violations from the last war:

Attack guidelines violations: Will be kicked if offense is repeated in next war.
f1 50 - Failed to deal with clan castle troops, used level 2 balloons
Baburinka - Failed to deal with clan castle troops, improperly executed attack (deployed healer while air defense was still up)

- Failed to deal with clan castle troops, improper attack strategy (barch)

Ternar Velda - Failed to deal with clan castle troops
Gman051 - Used level 1 balloons, used goblins in war, failed to deal with clan castle troops, improper attack strategy (giants and barbs with no archers)
Wizz - Failed to draw out clan castle troops


Unused attacks: Will be kicked if any attacks are missed in next war

Policy Updates:

I have made a couple of minor updates to the policies I will use in order to improve our war performance:

1. I will intentionally exclude any players with "new" under their names from war. This should reduce the number of players who leave during the course of a war (which hurts our war performance ATM).
2. I will now begin to enforce clan rule #7 to reduce the number of inactive members in our clan set to opt-out. This will take effect halfway through the current league season and should only affect inactive players (Furthermore, I will only enforce it on players set to opt-out because players set to opt-in are kicked if inactive anyways).

Attack guidelines violations in war vs BASPEHLIVAN

The following people violated the attack guidelines in the last war, resulting in failed (0 or 1 star attack) attacks. They will be kicked if the same violation is repeated in the next war, so I recommend they read the guidelines and follow them (or at avoid the same mistake they made last time).

Parsa: Used level 2 balloons, improper strategy (archer spam), didn't use full army
Sam: Failed to deal with clan castle troops
butter playz: Failed to deal with clan castle troops, used level 2 wizards, improper strategy (barch with just a few giants)
Brandon: Failed to deal with clan castle troops, improper attack strategy (barbarian spam), attacked 2-starred base (unsuccessfully)
mantou: Failed to deal with clan castle troops, improper attack strategy (barbarian spam), used level 2 wizards
Jasmine: Should have deployed giants earlier to tank for wizards.
Arjun: Used goblins in war, improper attack strategy (archer spam + goblins)
dragon man: Failed to deal with clan castle troops (didn't draw them out), improper strategy (basically barbarians spam)
armen: Failed to deal with clan castle troops, improper strategy (basically barch)

The Apocalypse (part 2)

 The second war with new policy went fairly well. We still had 6 people not participate and get kicked (compared to the 12 last time), but this time we actually had more failed attacks. Literally all of the people who failed attacks failed to deal with the clan castle troops. Always, always deal with clan castle troops. 8 people have received warnings for not following the attack guidelines:

Warning: Will be kicked if offense (listed) is repeated.
Tars Tarkas - Failed to deal with clan castle troops, used level 2 balloons
brebri - Failed to deal with clan castle troops, improper attack strategy (barbarian spam)
cozy - Failed to deal with clan castle troops, used level 2 balloons
canh sat pcccc - Failed to deal with clan castle troops, used goblins in war
MR.simple - Attacked 3-starred opponent (wasted attack), didn't deal with defenses
my love - Failed to deal with clan castle troops, improper attack strategy (archer spam vs 2 mortars), used single lightning spell on mortar, used level 1 balloons and wizards
Andrew - Failed to deal with clan castle troops, improper attack strategy (barbarian spam)
Ptony TJ Rufus - Failed to deal with clan castle troops, deployed healers before air defenses were down
mayur - Failed to deal with clan castle troops, used goblins in war

I don't have time to check if the base guidelines are being followed right now, so consider this war a freebee in that respect. However, I will be checking on them eventually, so be sure to read them and modify your base to fit them.

The Apocalypse

In keeping with the policy laid out in my last post, 12 people have been kicked for missing both attacks in the last war. 4 people missed one attack and will be given a warning this time, but if they miss an attack in the next war I will kick them:

Warning: Will be kicked if miss one attack in next war they participate in.
Tars Tarkas
brebri
King Grizzly
Getrekt

As for following the attack guidelines, the most blatant offenders will be given a warning and kicked if the same offense is repeated next war:

Warning: Will be kicked if offense (listed) is repeated.
DiamondMAN - Attacked base far above his level, improper attack strategy (wizard spam)
Getrekt - Failed to destroy exposed defenses or exposed town hall, improper attack strategy (barbarian spam)
tyler - Failed to destroy exposed defenses or exposed town hall, used goblins in war
skiben - Attacked 3-starred base (wasted attack)
King Grizzly - Failed to deal with clan castle troops, used goblins in war, used lvl 1 balloons

I decided not to check the base guidelines in this war since a lot of the people with offending bases got kicked already for being inactive, but I will probably check and give out warnings in the next war.

Change of Policy: Strict War Rule Enforcement

I'm sick and tired of people not using war attacks and not reading the guidelines page. Let's make this simple. You have two options:

1. Set your clan war status to opt-out.
2. Read and follow the clan war rules, war base guidelines, and attack guidelines.

If you do not opt out of war by the war after this next war (2.5 days from now) and fail to follow the rules, you will be kicked. If you fail to follow the base or attack guidelines, you will be given a warning (via a blog post mentioned by clan mail) and then kicked if you don't shape up.

I didn't want to have to go this far, but there are only about 3 or 4 people in the clan who actually follow the rules consistently, so I've been forced to enact strict punishments. If you do not want to be kicked, opt out or get serious about war and read my advice. I'm all for fun, but it's no fun when the vast majority of you suck at clan wars and won't read the advice I've posted on this blog that would make you suck less.

If you want to discuss this change, please do so in the comments of this blog post so your comment doesn't get lost in the clan chat.
