Black&Blue: International Farming Community - Still Keeping it Classy!

Ahoy clashers!

We are Black&Blue - an Established, Adults-only International Farming Community active since 2012. The majority of our clan is Level 80+, with a strong emphasis on both the social aspect of the game and farming hard to drink the milkshakes of any land-lubber unfortunate enough to cross our path. We keep it light and lively, and most of all we keep it classy :cool:

Ever feel like you've missed out on a great opportunity in the past and want a do-over? Well now is your chance! The time for underachieving is over, the time to excel amidst a group of loot-loving pirates has just begun!

Everyone can click Next till they find a fat base, but do you know how to wipe that base and get all the loot? Want to know the best times to farm, and how each cup range is performing during nearly any hour of the day? Want to gain experience from long-time gamers that know the metagame within Clash of Clans? Want to know how to save yourself a headache and get attacks right the first time?

We're looking for like-minded shipmates from seas far and wide to join us while we plunder, pillage, and plan for the next Ham Night.

I know you're foaming at the mouth to jump right in and get a piece of this, but let's first go over a few things.


What We Expect of You:

• Social, polite, mature. One of our greatest accomplishments is the core group of people that help make this game fun - our members. We're always looking for people that feel the same way and want to find a cool, fun family to farm alongside and hang out with in chat.
  
• Active - many members donate well over 1000 troops per week / 2000 per season.
  
• TH8, L5 archers, enough walls to show that you know something about farming.
  
• Minimum 250 donates a week, archers are default. Help fill open requests before sending in your own request.

What to Expect From Us:

• We keep language in chat rather clean, Rated PG. Sly innuendo is appreciated ;)
  
• While not a mandatory rule or something we solely use to send people to Davey Jones' locker, we do our best to thank donators by name. After all, it's polite! And who doesn't love a polite pirate? Aaaaarrrrr, if you please!!! Plus, hanging around to thank people gives donators a chance to submit a request themselves.
  
• Lots of dragons for your CC, lots of fun banter in chat, and lots of help to refine and perfect your farming techniques.

For even more details, check out the Black&Blue Clan Charter (ooo - shiny link. must click it!)

Right here, right now I can promise you ham, ham and gold, probably more gold than ham, but ham is availble too.

Remember to ask Chris about his Lemon Party!

Popehatz lecturing on how he knew Black&Blue was for him!

We are looking for some Euro/Aus zone players to round things out and to panda to me while I have a morning coffee!


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y19F7Ge1zKU


NO WAIT! That's the wrong kind of pander!

So if you think you have the intestinal fortitude to be around me in the morning, and you like Pekkas in your playhouse , check out the info below.


Minimum Requirements:

18+, maturity is a must!
TH8, 100% blue walls
Level 5 archers, 4+ builders
All defenses at max TH7 levels

How to join:

NOTE: It's 'Black&Blue' - no spaces!

Apply in-game with 2 pieces of information in the message:

1. The passphrase "don't plank me, bro!". Default join messages are almost immediately rejected.
   
2. Your geographical zone. i.e. Euro, AUS, US. We aim to provide round the clock coverage, so applications from the general UK and AUS vicinities are especially tasty at the moment. Are you in the US? That's cool too!

I'd like to welcome our newest members to the good ship Black&Blue:

jack (UK)
Jabob101 (AUS)
aubejc (SWE)
jakii (SWE)

These guys have been a nice addition so far and I hope they feel they've found a good home. Apart from the scurvy that is...and the rats...and maybe just a slight touch of severe dysentery :eek:

We're nearing capacity, but will make room for exceptionally thoughtful applications by exceptional people. Reply back to this thread or follow the instructions above once you realize you just can't live without scurvy for one more day!

What to Expect From Us:

• We keep language in chat rather clean, Rated PG. Sly innuendo is appreciated http://forum.supercell.net/images/smilies/wink.png
  
• While not a mandatory rule or something we solely use to send people to Davey Jones' locker, we do our best to thank donators by name. After all, it's polite! And who doesn't love a polite pirate? Aaaaarrrrr, if you please!!!
  
• Lots of dragons for your CC, lots of fun banter in chat, and lots of help to refine and perfect your farming techniques.

Just a taste of what's possible when you hook up with the awesome farmers at Black&Blue. We've got a few slots open for fun, active and social clashers looking to make the most out of their experience.

Ahoy you landlubbers!

There’s a couple open spots on deck for those lucky few who are yet to find they’re haven. I got onboard a few months ago, and would never look back! Never would I know that an iOS game, could provide so much social fun! The feeling you get when you need to explain to you’re fiancée, that the reason for you’re sudden outburst of laughter is you’re grown-up, kiddy-game clan mates funny jokes, is another story.

So if you’re searching for a mature, fun and classy clan, B&B may just be the one!

Steffluss is many things:

1. Black&Blue's cheerful, steadfast, dragon-donating Norwegian-born Australian transplant in need of some down-under Playmates (take your pick of which month... :rolleyes:)
2. A gifted graphic designer eager to create a personal forum signature banner for our lucky members.
3. Not very good with the you'res/yours, theirs/they'res, or apostrophes... :p

Regardless of which item on the list YOU might relate to, come check us out and join in on the fun. We're always looking for the next 'Steffluss' to be another comrade-in-arms! Aaaaarrrrr!

Very happy to welcome the following new crew-mates joining us over the past few days:

KraliMarco (Level 93)
Seany_D (Level 88)
Hokemania (Level 88)
RAWR (Level 83 - almost 3000 donations in less than 4 days)
brady (Level 115 - nearly maxed TH9 defenses)
RAW (Level 76)
B7AX (Level 85)
willet69 (Level 94)
Urfvfh (up and coming TH8, recent upgrade from fully maxed TH7)

I'd also like to honor the following donators for this season, hitting 1000 troops within a week:

CrazyEyesOL - 2162
RAWR - 2969
AggroJagg - 1086
Steffluss - 1250
aubejc - 1126
Dr. Stink - 1049

Not only do we have a respectable number of very active and experienced members, we have a great time hanging out in chat. If the info above looks impressive, just wait till Ham Night (1st reply to OP). Give yourself the chance of a lifetime and check us out at Black&Blue.

Who says you can't farm with dragons? Want to know how to pull off a raid like this without wasting an hour and a half of training time and 300k+ elixir? Check out the original post for application instructions.

In-game name: Johann
Current clan name: angry cat (second one to come up upon searching)
TH level: 8 archer level: 5 Experience level: 80
Tell us a little bit about yourself:
With 5 builders and more time spent on this game then I care to admit, is love to say I'm a casual player but that's just not the case. I've been playing for about 6 months and I'm all about farming, trophies aren't worth a dime in my book. And best of all I LOVE a hot load of innuendos all over my CoC! So hopefully you'll think about accepting me into the pirates life, and until we speak again. AAAAAARRRRRRRGH! 🔫🔪💰🚣

Ahoy Johann! I'll get in touch via PM and make plans to get you onboard.

Starting tomorrow Black&Blue will be accepting applications again after a much needed week set to "Closed". Sorry to those that we had to reject just prior to closing it down, just needed some time to let the new guys have a chance to gel with the group and to figure out where we needed to make future roster adjustments.

We will have 2 slots available, so please follow the process below if you are interested in checking us out. Check the OP for minimum requirements. If you don't quite meet the requirements, reply back anyway or send me a PM as we may soon have a way for you to still be a part of the B&B family.

How to join:

NOTE: Since we are currently at max capacity (allowing slots for visitors) we have changed our application process. Please allow us time to make room for exceptional applicants by following the new process outlined below:

Reply back to this thread and fill out the following template:

• In-game name:
  
• Current clan name:
  
• TH level / archer level / Experience level:
  
• Tell us a little bit about yourself:

An Elder or I will contact you via PM and work out the details to get you accepted. Please be sure to follow this process as default applications are almost universally rejected.

I'd like to highlight one of our newer guys, hailing from down under: rawr! We think he may actually be named rawrbot, as he currently sits at nearly 4300 donations halfway into the season.

Want to learn to farm like this? Check out the OP for join instructions...

Our last 3 spots were filled quickly yesterday, so this morning we've had to send another 3 of our old shipmates off the end of a very lovingly-crafted plank. We wish them the best, and will remember the good times!

What does that mean for you scalawags? Well, if you act quickly you might just find yourself basking in the warm glow of Black&Blue.

Check the OP for join instructions.

Once again all available slots have been filled with promising recruits within a few hours of making room. What does that mean for you? Well...we're going to be very selective for a bit and let the new guys settle in. If you'd like to be considered for a spot, please reply back to this thread or send me a PM with some information about yourself and convince us you are worthy of the spot.

Check the OP for further instructions :D

I'm also happy to announce a new addition to the Black&Blue family - clan B&B Beach. This isn't your typical feeder clan, since feeders rarely do much else than serve as a dumping ground and cause a bunch of extra work for poor old Clan Leaders/Elders.

So how is it different? For starters, the goal is not necessarily to 'graduate' people into Black&Blue - we get plenty of applicants that are already at the minimum requirements and have a solid understanding of raiding. For the Beach, our goal is to mentor by having experienced raiders available to dispense advice, answer questions, donate high level troops, etc.

Graduation to Black&Blue is still an option after meeting the minimums and determining that we're a good fit for each other.

If any of this sounds cool or crazy enough to be interesting, check us out!

We've had another slot open up as one of our beloved members has decided to take a break to focus on some RL issues. Check out the OP for details on application process and requirement. Act fast, these spots usually fill rather up rather quickly.

A couple spots opened up today after some hoppers decided to jump ship. Looking for active, mature, fun people to take their place. See OP for application process.

Black&Blue is happy to host the latest in our super-fantastical series of Super Mandatory Trophy Push Fun Time!!, starting this Sunday.

Now with more even more "Voluntary" than ever before!!

but for serious...;)

While we typically farm like madmen and haul in massive amounts of stolen loot, we've decided to take up the banner of the Almighty Trophy© and have a cup push. This will on Oct 20 and continue for till the end of the league season. Once the season ends, we will resume our regularly scheduled farming, shenanigans and general tom-foolery :D To be clear, this cup push is completely voluntary. I know, I know...the name says 'Mandatory'. I don't name these things, I just promote them.

So...Maybe you are intrigued by the thought of a bunch of scrubby farmers trying to push their way into the CoC stratosphere and want to have a laugh. Maybe you are looking for a serious farming clan that knows how to mix things up. Maybe you want your own personal custom signature that shows you have style. Maybe you are super impressed, nay...blown away! by my marketing skills and need to have even more Popehatz mixed into your daily gaming experience. Don't worry - these are all good excuses! So give us a once-over, and see if we might be a good fit...


Check out the OP on the process to join.

Bumpity bump! Got a few slots open after a newer group of guys decided to strike out on their own and form a friends-only clan. Oh well, wish them the best!

But that means we've got room for new besties! Fun, active, mature group, looking for the same. Check OP for application info.

We've just made room for those two special someones! Check OP on how to apply!

Got 1 available slot for a super-charming, attractive, active and sociable clasher. Well, 3 out of 4 wouldn't be bad either!

Friendly bump for a failed attack on my base from Brady in your clan :)
