[Research] Inactive Base Removal

A topic of rather high debate throughout the forums is the removal of inactive bases. There is strong evidence including statements from moderators that SC will push inactive bases to the back of the search queue. However, it is almost entirely anecdotal evidence about how soon after inactivity the base will be removed.

As such, I personally took the incentive on my mini and let it go inactive to see how long after it going inactive would it not be attacked (with half full storages and easy to pick of collectors in Silver II, I assumed that if it wasn't attacked 24hrs after a sheild, that it had been removed (let's not argue euphemisms here, removed and pushed to the back of the queue are interchangeable here) .

To my surprise, I found that a mere two days after letting it alone, it was removed from the queue. [♥♥ will be added in a second of log showing the gap]

However, it would be an enormous assumption to say that my one empirical case shows the time, so here is my request, on whatever accounts you can, should you wish to participate, record the following pieces of information:

Last date played (a screenshot of defense log if possible):
Trophy range:
Anything building/upgrading?:
Picture of base (to determine if it may have simply not been worth attacking):
Lastly, when available, a screenshot of return defense log (showing original defense log date) and a gap of attacks of at least 24hrs after the sheild would've expired:

We'll see if the removal is tied to maintenance breaks or at random this way, since we can't seem to get a definitive answer from up top.

Ive had similar expierences. Over the summer I was away for a week(Monday to Saturday), and when I got back, I had been attacked 3 times, and all three being near the beginning of the week. I found that quite interesting. And sorry, dont have screenies, cause it was about 5 months ago :)

I was inactive for a month and I only got attacked once. The day after I left for vacation

This is a good thread. I only have one account so I will not be trying this.

one thing to make sure you get attacked when possable is to have good loot, and to make your base really easy to get.

Using this base removal that sc uses, someone could climb up high in trophies, and become inactive, and never be attacked after the initial attacks.

EDIT- or buy a week shield, and not get attacked at all. They could be in the top ten, and never play.

Champions can't buy week-long shields.

I forgot. Well, three days would be enough.

So what would SC's motivation be behind removing inactive bases? If they are doing it, they arent doing a very good job as i find them all the time, and sometimes they are the first bases that come up in search. Also I dont really think of the search as having a front and back, but idk.

I was inactive for one hour and never never got attacked not once; true story.

If you are talking about champions, I think there isn't a lot of people up there so you would still get attacked a bunch. The attacks will probably stop once you've lost a lot of trophies.

As for the OP, I might try this and post screenshots of my old account.
It has been inactive since around November 13th (might not be exact date but somewhere around that time).
800 trophy range
My base, even though the collectors are only level 8-10, they are completely unprotected (You can drop one goblin and it will still be alive).
If I can find my old phone, I will edit screen shots into this.

Edit: Can't find my phone sorry.

I am currently trying this out myself with my brother's account. I will be sure to show it to you after a few days of trial.
