There needs to be some sort of penalty for abandoning a clan during war. On several occasions my clan has lost a war by 1-2 stars because someone left the war without using their attacks. It's just not fair to people who genuinely care about war, and spend a lot of resources donating troops for it.
They should lose loot or something if they leave, so they will have an incentive to stay in the clan through the war.
If someone leaves without attacking, what makes you think they would have attacked if they couldn't leave?
Well, if not that, then the person who left should be replaced by someone who was not included in the war group. It's just unfair that people can go around and mess wars up for people like that.Quote:

Yeah it sucks. Just have to keep an eye on the clan and try to clear out the jumpers before entering a war.
Yeah... It just happened again. It's impossible to tell who is going to do it when everyone seems pretty excited for the war, then suddenly they leave.Quote:

Penalizing people for leaving will only guarantee that an unhappy player stays in your clan longer than they want to be there. That definitely won't be a better solution for you. Not only won't you get that needed star out of them, but they'll make it really uncomfortable for the rest of your players until you release them.
95% of the time that i witness people leaving during war and not attacking is because the clan as a whole sucks at waring. If you declare your standards upfront and act like you know ♥♥♥ you are doing, people will take you seriously. But if i join a clan and they go to war and i see people playing like they started yesterday, I'm not going to waste my resources or time.
Almost every single time the people leave during prep day for us, so it's not because of our skill that they are leaving. People are just inconsiderate I guess.Quote:

- Do you give clan members a warning notice before starting a clan war (if so how and how much in advance)
- At what point do you communicate your clan war strategy to the newcomer
- Your clan war strategy (Is it one they like or agree with? Is it a successful one? What does your clan war history say about your clan? If your clan war history is just filled with losses and they only just discovered this then chances are, they will jump ship if they value their resources over the other benefits provided by clan wars)
- Atmosphere in you clan during prep day (is it relaxed or is it very tense, is there a lot of smack talk, is there one person barking orders at others)
I mean there are literally dozens if not hundreds of thousands of reasons why people would leave a clan during clan wars, I think if you truly want to stop people leaving during clan wars do a bit of a self assessment on your clan and ask those who leave why they left. Create an alt account if you have to and use the alt account to follow and ask.
Happens to my clan all the time :(
Franky, I think if you leave a clan during war, you should NOT be alowed to attack anymore. IF someone leaves, thats on them and it sucks. But Ive been seeing people leave their clans only to come back and war. I dont care why they left, but if you leave, you should be penalized.
Completely agree with this.Quote:

Correction, one guy did it different. I believe his name is Chief Zorbo. He talked a big game during prep, demanded to go straight to co-leader during the war, one-starred his first attack, told us we all sucked, and bailed. We won that war despite his best effort to derail us. Then he asked to rejoin!
My point is this: you can't fight stupid.
