The "Left" side

Some guy in global told me they would attack my base from the left side. Well, as we all know, clash of clans isn't just a straight grid like in clash of clans builder, its rotated 45 degrees. So I asked him if he meant the left corner(my base is sorta square-like), the top-left side, or the the bottom-left side. He said, "NO JUST THE MIDDLE LEFT SIDE, READ IDIOT!" I asked for clarification, and he said to rotate the map so everything is lined up and straight. I said, "well, you can rotate it counter clockwise or clockwise, which one is it!?" Well I guess I have a fifty-fifty chance of being an idiot, because according to him, if I can't figure out which one it is, I'm stupid... The conversation went on for a while, and he started accusing me of using big words...

But anyway, which side is left? I don't get it

Well, there still is a middle-left regardless of whether it's at a 45 degree angle...

I'd say he's the idiot in the situation since he can't clarify what he means. If I were to guess, I'd say most people mean the "lower left" side of the base when they say left. The same goes for right.

It is the left corner, correct me if I'm wrong.

My clan & I use compass points for direction clarification when talking about clan wars. The top corner is north, the bottom is south, etc… But the sides are north-west to south-east… Makes it simple!

Yeah I tried using the clock system, but it didn't work for him lol. Thanks for the replies
