Builder Games - March 8th - March 12th

This was a tough one. I agree with the masses that the less of these we get the better.
I know we wont get the information but I'd love to see the stats on how many clans didn't make the top tier(%) for the BB vs previous games.

Everyone who has said they are being forced to play obviously realizes they are not being forced to play.

It is a figure of speech, bound to be corrected countless times by internet experts.

We know, we know.....we are not being forced to play. But it still feels that way.

I think you underestimate the ability to bounce back and forget how horrible something is/was.

(Another BB event .. let's just wait a bit and then another bit)

Hasn't activity in the clan games already become a common criteria for staying in a clan or getting the boot ? It has in mine, in any case.

Pretty much why SC has a responsibility to calibrate their clan games properly. Whatever they do with them has an impact on clans' life. And it can be a negative one.

Still not SC forcing you to play clan games its your clan forcing you to play. Playing in clan games is not compulsory in my clan a few didn't play at all

That's the problem with dictatorships, when power goes unchecked, the leaders convince themselves they know what is best and silence the opposition. Virtually all forums are basically mini experiments in governance, and this on community has trended towards the dprk style of leadership.
Like I said, I don't really care, but its funny that they can't even be honest with themselves.

Complaints about SC are allowed here. However, if there is a sticky at the top, it makes sense that new threads are put there. In fact, even if there is no sticky but there is a similar thread within the first few pages it is good to merge them. There is no silencing of the opposition. That is just plain not even close to true.

The thing you, and all the others telling people that no one is forcing them to play, fail to realize is that we are simply voicing our dissatisfaction with the way the clan games went this time. Why is that so bad. We simply want SC to have our voices heard so they know that a fairly large portion of the population doesn't like it when they add things to the game we don't like.
Trying to marginalize us with the response of "no one is forcing you" is doing a disservice to the community. And MArginalizing people in general is just kinda a not nice thing to do to begin with. We have a legitimate complaint. We want to participate in a game that is fun, and when they make it not fun, we say something. There is nothing wrong with that.

While I agree it isn't as simple as "nobody is forcing you to play" (I hate that response when I make suggestions for improvements to legends league), it almost seems as though you think if you post your opinion here no one can post why they disagree, debate it, etc. That I don't agree with. I'm not sure if that is what you are saying, but it sort of sounded like that. If you state an opinion here it is typical to see people support it and disagree with and list their reasons why. That is part of a discussion forum.

I agree, especially if they make it as hard as this one. This Bh game would have been so much better received if it was easier. I think I almost would have gone very far the other way to make it much easier than prior games if creating a good feeling about Bh was the desire.

Hey sc,

Please rework the bh challenges to make them accomplished faster. There are so many th challenges that can be completed in 1-2 attacks and we get 100+ medals, but there are none in bh. The bh tasks are almost all a minimum of 3-4 attacks to complete. But the only time you get a flurry of attacks is when you have a clock tower boost, every 7 hours..... The thing is I got way less attacks in in my boost than I did while just straight gemming the army. In main village, the boost is a lot more economical and cheaper. Either the gem boost on bh needs to be lessened and or the bh challenges need to be reworked. Both preferably to bring it in line with doing challenges in main village. Because right now the time drain to complete th bh tasks is a big reason why a lot of people hated these games and hate bh.

This

I haven't touched the bh in months other then to collect resources. After this clan games I have even less desire to play bh. It was such a grind and the opposite of fun.

Would have been good if the definition of forced had been discussed earlier in this thread to remove all doubt over its meaning.

This. The people saying SC is not actually FORCING you do not seem to understand the way we say forced is being used as a figure of speech. We are not literally being forced, physically. We FELT forced, because if you're in a clan where you need to hit max points to get the top rewards FOR YOUR CLAN, then it feels like you are forced.

Can this extremely silly debate end now?jeeeeeez louiiiiiiise

Thank goodness the games are over. I logged in this morning and touched the boat by accident. I saw a fresh loot cycle and ignored it completely. Bugger that mini game for the next few days. Not even gonna touch the boat, I dislike the bb even more now than before. Uggghh
