We know what you're missing in your clan...

You are lvl 90+, adult, active, and loyal to your clan. You've been there a long time and have good friends. But, there are a few things you wish were different. You wish everyone was as active as you are; some long-timers barely donate 200 per season now. You wish everyone had lvl 6 archers. You like those th8 maxers whom you have known forever, but you wish they would get their 4th and 5th builders and catch up. You like that cup runs occur infrequently, but you wish *ALL* members pushed at the same time when they occurred.

Let's build our ideal clan from the ground up. We are not an old clan rebranded or a splinter faction of a top-200 family. We are not a group of old chums looking for filler. I started a new clan today (8/12) for lvl 90ish+ adults with lvl 6 archers. I have no idea if it will work, but I want to see if we can build our ideal clan together.

Check us out. Small, but baby steps. Clan is Purgatorio.

Five days later, it is going well! We've grown slowly but steadily to 19-20 members *without* compromising on the minimums, which is key. We are all high lvl with lvl 6 archers. It has been difficult to reject several lvl 90+ maxing th8s, but we did. (Sorry!)

It is easy for new clans to grow impatient, compromise on requirements, and quickly fill up with lower levels. That helps in the short run, but it makes it harder to attract higher levels and probably limits the potential of the clan in the medium to long run. 95% of clans grow but eventually plateau with 8-15 core members while the other spots churn and many long-time loyal "tenured" unkickable members play less and less. Such clans stagnate and come to rely upon 5 big donators who are loyal to the clan and old friends. This is why we all see so many clans with a few lvl 90-110 members, about 10 lvl 70-80s, and the rest lvl 60s or below.

We were all one of those high level loyalist players in different clans, but quietly (sometimes, not so quietly!) we wished our old friends played more, kept progressing, and cared when we launched a rare cup run. It was hard to cut the cord with old friends, but we did and are building our ideal clan here: all lvl 80+, all lvl 6 archers, all equal, no second-class members, no clique of old friends dominating the clan, no one unkickable if they go inactive, and all willing to push when we push as one.

If you are lvl 80+ and have lvl 6 archers and this speaks to you, join us. Visitors who meet minimums are welcome. Stay if you like what we're trying to build.

Clan is Purgatorio.

Awesome clan. I'll be there if things don't pan out for with my clan full of derps. Lol

Our minimums are lvl 80+ and level 6 archers, but we have accepted folks either lvl 78-79 or with lvl 6 archers cooking in their lab. All lvl 6 archers is a big selling point for many high lvl folks so, unfortunately, we have not been accepting th8s.

Feel free to drop in (no poachers, though, please...). We have a plan and vision. If you like it, stay. Otherwise, it was a pleasure to have met you.

I see..I feel like joining it but I can't meet the requiremnt yet and I still lvl 52 only..if u wanna accept me in I will appreciate it..if not i will wait for my level higher and see your clan still have any slot :)

Hi papercup. We want to be the sort of clan you want to be in when you're lvl 80. I'm sorry, but we are being strict on the minimums. Keep us in mind, though, and good luck!

Hmm sure no problem

In this clan right now, can vouch for bhima being a great leader.

*bump*
