G10, Stand proud.
As a fresh Ludus Graduate, I always wanted to move up and progress to Centum Arena. However, there was one weakness which I felt I had and needed addressing; war raids. My first intention when arriving at Gladius was to improve my war skills, but I have achieved so much more than I expected. Not only have I made tons of friends and learnt so much, but I have also taken huge steps to crush my clash phobia. Learning loonion and being able to add lavahounds to it in war situations has helped me and will be an everlasting skill to add to my arsenal. As always, donations are quick and reliable in the sense that you always get what you asked for. Furthermore, there are always people on who are available to chat, which is a huge plus side. Finally, I am very happy to be associated with such a great bunch, so many of,you I have attributed as some of my great mates, yes, even you Swizz. It will be very hard to move on from such a great group of people, and quite frankly I'm not entirely sure if that's my most favourable option, because not only are they friends, but mentors too. Thank you for such a great opportunity and such a great time at Centum Gladius, you will all have a place in my heart.

G10 - Stand Proud:
My pet hate, is when people on reality TV talk about their "Journey" - as if that's a thing. And yet here I am, about to do much the same.
So, how was my time in Centum Gladius? Well, let me tell you: it was time consuming, and made my girlfriend even more pissy at me then usual.
But in all seriousness, as a former leader of a (low TH level) war clan, I spent a great deal of my time trying to teach (and carry) people that didn't even give a damn about the result.
In my despair, I turned to the Supercell forums, and what I found, was more then I ever thought possible, especially from a "casual" game like Clash of Clans. I've barely scratched the surface, and yet I can't think of a single reason why I'd ever want to leave. That is, if they'll have me. Cliché as all hell, but joining this family really did feel like coming home.
It may have felt slightly like joining a cult at first, what with these super secret initiation rituals or "trials" and the presence of an actual clan hierarchy (in my head Alan is still an ancient and mysterious grandmaster), but imho you can never have enough structure. Everyone knows what they're doing (our elder's patience seem endless), and everyone tows the line.
So if you want to bring your game to the next level and learn from the best, I couldn't recomended the Centum clans any more highly.
