Oh perfect, I do love tea you know, though I would prefer to have it with a scone if any are available? When you say in the morning what time zone would you be talking about?

Hmm, seems promising. Is there a rule that we have to donate archers only? Because I'm in a farming state and I wish to donate goblins ;p
Archers are generally the top preference, followed by gobs. But, beggars can't be choosers... and people give what they have. The bars tend to fill rather quickly, so it doesn't really matter.
I should take a moment and address this trophy donation issue. Some clans tend to take that stat rather seriously; but, since we are farming, many of us do not use clan troops at all, or perhaps only for defense. So, the requests are not as frequent as in some other clans, perhaps. So, I don't get too hung up on this.
Appleseeds, if you are already in our clan, please ping me there and let me connect the dots between your forum name and game name. If you are not a member, we're at 49 members and one is already inbound, so we're full. But, I am keeping a log in my PM, so feel free to ping me there, with your level, etc, and confirm please that you are over 18 in age, and I'll put you on the waiting list (there's five ahead of you, though, sorry).
Hah, what 30? I only see 20. Thank goodness for editing abilities. And, it was my mistake in typing... Track's results stand clear. My bad, apologies, Track.
Illustris the Mathematician... err Editor
Not me... It's the naked potato.
Separately, for the few folks I booted earlier today, I am sorry that I had to do so. Feel fee to PM me and I am happy to share with you the reasons I had to do so. But, as a general theme, it was due to any or several of the following: (i) perceived being under age (18+), (ii) not saying thank you after receiving donations, coupled with lack of chattiness in clan chat (which not required, is a factor), and (iii) lowest troop donations in clans (again, not required, but I had to make room for some higher level, chatty inbounds).
Illustris the Reluctant Kicker
So I'm cruising lower trophy range trying to make my leader proud by being a productive farmer, and I come across this village.
http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/...psf165187b.jpg
So they have all these open red spots just rolling out the welcome mat. Thank you I think I will...
http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/...psb0b7d093.jpg
so after raiding this village following Illustris's advice, I raided this same village a second time.
I leave game for a couple minutes and come back to find this...
http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/...ps89b7b570.jpg
i hope they got this off their chest, lol. They really taught me a lesson.....lol.....actually looking at village now, I think they actually are the ones who learned...
http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/...ps60e82ede.jpg
Gemmed quite a few more archers towers and another wizard tower I see.....
No hard feelings mate-You've just been farmed....
I will never understand people like this. You are level 54 with a level 9 townhall and all of your walls are still grey which are the max at th level 3. People dont even need wall breakers to get through this. Yea, your town hall level 9 but everyone who looks at your base is laughing at you spending "Mommy's" money to gem the dumb way. /my2sense take it for what its worth.
Sorry guys, no hard feeling but that's what we do... we farm and brag about it.
This one for Maggie :p
A very big shout-out and thank you to Fastcorpse... I am honored to smash this little bottle of champagne (sorry, I couldn't raid enough today, so I feel like a cheapie) against this wall and commemorate this day as the launch of...
WWW.FARMING4GOLD.COM
Our home page. New additions and some cool features will be incorporated later. But, for any of you, wishing to learn more about the clan, please see the homepage and FAQ which are already up
And another shout-out to Lady Godiva... This pic is so awesome and appreciated. I didn't realize our clan had farmed New York City already.

Illustris the Sobbing
Lolz, Fast is the resident techie for ours - just find one in your clan too!
Godiva, the picture was epic.
Fast, the page still takes my breath away - both in a good & OCD-related way.
I love all my clannies.
& I don't know what I'd do in CoC world without you. :o
-----
Potato,
Ever appreciative & ever bumping.
So today I finally caved in to my curiosity and paid Illustris and crew a visit. I gotta admit, it was a really cool clan. They were friendly (perhaps a little over-friendly with each other ;)) and very talkative. I have to say that I would recommend it to any lvl 40+, age 18+ farmers. (That age minimum is taken seriously for legitimate reasons lol.).
Farming4Gold gets a thumbs up from me :D
Zach the Visitor (not to be confused with a hopper :p)
Very nice website....have a look at http://www.leagueofshadowsclan.com/ for some ideas, our website is pretty legit ;)
Cuts eyes at illustrious ... Haven't seen you in global.... Hmmmm....
Me-- with out a cool title ;)
Hey Blue! I'm switching to PMs in a sec.
Lady Godiva, here's the screen pic for that naughty raid that interrupted our Jacques Torres discusion

absolution to illu ;-)
Awesome raid illustris ! So how bout that expensive chocolate :3
In keeping up with the brand of humility that is fast becoming synonymous with our clan:

Got carried away while raiding, soz.

Is a considerate farmer who shields you after she's robbed you.
I think I passed one like that on a recent trip in Toronto too :P

LOL, all these billboards popping up.
We must really be making millions...

Her clannies have just made her day...
I was pressured into posting my best raid so far.. too bad I am too much of a noob and couldn't even get all his resources!
Attachment 2303
You have gone viral Illustris, farming4gold billboards all over NZ at the moment ;).
how many trophies are required?
No trophies, it's a farming clan, but level 40+
BTW, I'm a kiwi too :)
Clan members... first batch of bios are loaded... please check the home page (www.farming4gold.com) for the humorous bios Maggie (and I, to a lesser extent) drafted
Enjoy, get a good laugh, and if you are offended, get the hell out... :)
Illustris the Jester
and here is some "sweet luck" ;)
Attachment 2323Attachment 2324 Ok, just a couple of effective raid, fast cash. Low gb count.
All you convinced me. Never laughed so hard in my life. Little pig little pig will you let me in?
How did you make a clan site? And how much did it cost
Hush, Wachakow!
Vir Illustris may order your banishment from the state!
*****
On a more serious note, Tyler,
our site is maintained by a very dedicated & talented webmaster / clannie, FastCorpse. :)

Wonders if any DE was involved in the purchase of our hosting space...
This clan is full, so please PM me to dialogue about your interest, or please join our sister clan Farming4Elixir.
Thank you,
Illustris the Overwhelmed
Here's a few raids from last night. I'm kind of sad that I had full gold storages throughout them though, that gold has been taken out of the game forever :(
http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/...463C6131C9.jpg
http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/...462A84C156.jpg
I'm interested I joining your clan. I'm 51 years old, an active player and level 37. I'm confused about the membership requirements because when I just looked at the clan, I saw some low level players in there. I'm looking for a clan with mature members and one that is active.
Well I can tell you that this clan is indeed mature(ish lol) and very active, but for your level you would be looking to join Farming4Elixir which is just as good. The lower levels I think are for then the join limit was lower or Illustris just took pity on little noobs :D
Damn, Scout... you fooled me. Anyone who fools me deserves Clan Leadership :)
Welcome again, he-who-shall-not-be-named, with squirrel soup.
For others, please apply to Farming4Elixir, as Gold is full. Last spot is reserved for rotations between the two sister clans
Illustris the Fooled
I think this is the first time I've seen this thread on the second page of "Clan Talk" since it was started.
Maybe this will drive more people to the Farming4Elixir thread :P
Feel free to use this avatar / profile pic that I made :)

100k with no protection near gold. The joy of farmers!
I decided to invest some of my looted gold and got us this..
http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/...er/image-1.jpg
Any room for a 'great Dane' ? (I'll try not to make a mess on the floor ;) )
Level 53 and WAY older than 18 :cool:
Never been in a clan but this one sounds fun!
Illustris important news! I think I have found Courgi, if you read the thread about Culture300, cavebears' feeder, you will see that it is lead by a player called Courgi! :D Though he's not a high enough level to join either of your clans... :(
Link here -> http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...-handle-pal%21
Yay! Wonder if he is still active in game...!!!7!!!
Whats the best trophy count to be farming amounts like those at??Thanks!!
LOL Zack, iRoss has most probably made the fanboy's day.
For as we speak, he has ordered us to make changes to the name on our clan and he is personally dusting and polishing the brass on his leader seat, ready to vacate it for the mighty one.
No rules apply for the Mighty Corugi. !!!6!!!
-----
This little Potato may not necessarily defend the monarchy as much after that - lol
Hey, friends... I really, really appreciate the heads-up. Shout out to iRoss for first sighting the um, mighty, Emperor.
Unfortunately, I do not believe that this is the same Corugi we have come to love and appreciate. Well, perhaps, shake our heads at and chuckle.
This Corugi, in Culture300, is TH5, level 24, yet has 20 trophies. The original Corugi was a similar level yet he stopped playing weeks/ months ago when his clan imploded, and he went AWOL from these forums. His trophy count would have popped significantly by now to 300-500, without game play, from trophy droppers. If he was playing, even under the radar, he would have leveled up more significantly. Note that this new alt has two builders, yet both are busy upgrading.
I am sadly suspecting that the Cavebears are trying yet another recruiting ploy, by creating a brand new Corugi alt for a feeder. Note, that there are still no members in that feeder clan. It's humorous and best wishes for them.
Separately, Supercell really should prevent multiple-usages of the same name.
Last, I am more than willing to eat my words. If this new Corugi plant wishes to challenge me and assert his old, true emperor identity, I will throw down the gauntlet here. Come here and post, using your old forum account, write a similarly witty response and let's coordinate a time for us to meet in-game and I can link your old forum account to this new level 24.
Why do this? Besides, once again establishing your exalted nature, your prize will be...

Attachment 2543
May every raid by everyone is as fun as this!
hey guys i wonder if i can join I'm level 64 and looking for an active farming clan
Onlong! My man! You the man! 132,617 total loot using only 5 gobs, for an average of 26.5k loot per goblin. Very, very nice. And lol, what patience... Haha, I probably woulda used some more gobs, just cuz I am so impatient. But, you, sir, have outdone me!
Hey Jasper/ Pipa, could we start a PM exchange? I had some questions for you. I PM'd you.
Illustris the Multi-Tasker
To the applicants who are popping in-game applications,
Sorry, again... please apply ONLY to Farming4Elixir as the original clan is full, and we are trying to limit membership to 47, to allow for external visitors and rotations amongst the two sister clans. I'm going to have to kick or rotate a few more. Sorry, folks.
Pretty nutty that Gold filled up in 2 weeks and Elixir is almost filled within four days... I guess it's time for clan #3 :)
Illustris the Door Keeper Who Cannot Open It
Today is 12 February. I am opening the doors to 2-3 new applicants, across our two clans (Farming4Elixir and Farming4Gold). I kicked a few inactives after the weekly donation count, so we have a little room in our two clans.
Again, per this long thread, only 18+ adults. And only those who are active, mature, fun seeking gamers. Shout out to Johnny Burritos for redoing his base to this way. A very big LOL to you...
http://i1307.photobucket.com/albums/...psa9d1ef63.jpg
Illustris The Temporary Door Opener
Applying is tempting if only to see the clan chat banter.
Oho... then we'd know you are in the game, Mr. or Mrs. Mystery!
We love visitors, but once a permanent member, we do have a strict policy that the door is a one-way. If anyone leaves, there's no re-entry. Strict, but it works for the folks, so long as it's consistently applied.
But, visitors are welcome!
Illustris, the Curious as to Who Mcauliffetj is in-game, hehe
I want to visit u guys :(
Lol, Mrs. Potato.
Separately, we have one spot available if anyone is interested. Please apply if you are over level 50+, and age 18+, or send me a PM here.
Again, I like to cap membership to 47 in Farming4Gold and 47 in Farming4Elixir, to allow for member rotation and visitors, so there is only ONE spot available.
Illustris Opening the Door a Crack...
You guys crack me up... If you are trying to bump our clan thread, you should wait a day or at least a few hours at least lol... Not 2-5 minutes apart, haha.
Anyways, at least it shows our goofy clan culture.
Illustris (dang, I just bumped it prematurely as well haha)
I'm still fairly new to COC but have been very active and donate whenever someone asks. I'm only level 22. Can you suggest a good clan for a relative newby to learn the ropes to work up to your clan?
P.S. I'm a girl. Lol
