Fixes for Clan Wars (Idea)

Anyone who is leader of a war clan will likely enjoy these ideas.

1: Once included in a clan war, you can not leave the clan. In fact there is NO option to do so (Unless Kicked) until Either the war ends, or both attacks are used on battle day. (Idea #1 Revoked/Bad idea)

2: If neither attacks are used on battle day, the offending player is hit with a Cool-down and cannot be included in War, in the clan or any other, until the cool-down is over. Each time the Player does not participate in the War he/she is included in, the Cool-Down increases.

3: Leaders(Co) can toggle the Sword n Shield symbol, essentially choosing who is included in the War about to be searched.

This needs to happen. Too many times have people Abandoned a war, often on prep-day, and even on battle day. Some of them do it BECAUSE it upsets the other members. It's almost a new form of Hopping/Trolling. It leaves Gaps in our War efforts, and often causes Losses. Players should be punished for doing it. And it is obvious the Current Cool-down (Preventing player from being in war until current war ends) worries these people not 1 bit. So since the current "Punishment" seems to have 0 effect, a Harsher one should be put into place.

No no no no no, a lot of clans aren't organized with war and some co may start it whenever. What if YOU weren't ready and didn't know and happened to not be on during that time now you get screwed. or you told a co or leader that you weren't on and they forgot to boot you before or you forgot to leave. Now youre out of the clan!

Honestly there are SO many in clan ways to fix war participation, nothing needs to be added. You already have leadership in clans, use it.

My Co-leaders start wars all the time without me knowing. We have won 34 wars, and lost just as many if not more. out of all of those wars, I have never missed a single attack. That's while going to college, work and many other things that make me very busy. Yet I still attack, both times, every time.

I kick people all the time for not participating. They then join other clans and do the same. It doesn't solve anything. The only way to stop people from abandoning wars is to make it a very very bad idea. These hoppers join, knowing its a war clan. I've had them leave or not attack to purposely Troll me and my members. I've had enough. If they frequently abandon wars or don't attack, There should be a punishment, or at the very least a record on their profile so I can know who I'm dealing with before hand. Kicking people after the fact does not fix the issue. More hoppers join, and it happens all over again. you end up with a 20 town war and your down 5 people before prep day even ends? That isn't right. It isn't fair for me or my members. If people don't want to be included in War, why join a war clan just to quit mid war? To Troll and upset people. And they should be penalized for it, severely.

He means wars that might randomly start at any given days, not hours. Some clans don't have a fixed war schedule unlike your's and it's harder for them to know when they'll be trapped into a clan for 2 days.

This is likely to result in people TH sniping or throw away attacks

Reply: Then they should not join a war clan.

But TH sniping and throw away attacks are better then Abandoners and no attacks. If someone joins a War Clan, then they should be ready for war. IDK about Iphones but my android alerts me Every time a War begins, Prep-day is about to end, battle day begins, and B-day ends. With all that, there is no excuse.

I have always liked the idea of penalizing players who bail after prep day starts. However, the glaring fault in this suggestion is that if someone was going to bail already, they likely don't want to participate and help your clan win, so even if they are forced to stay, it doesn't guarantee that they will fight for stars, and may even be bitter and sabotage your war effort. My clan had this little tool (TylerNichols or something like that so watch out for him) who came into the clan the day before a war and as soon as the war started wrote an obscene remark on the clan wall right before purposefully losing both his attacks and bailing. I guess he thought that was hilarious. In my opinion, this could be great if it weren't for this hole in the logic.

I'm not really a hopper so I'm not sure why people would need to hop around but some people might invite people to their clan on global and trap them in by starting the war search. Even if they leave, they'll still be part of the participants in the war so they'll probably be prevented from leaving even though a match hasn't been found yet. Other people like to move freely between clans they know so this also traps them for at least 24 hours and more for the 2nd batch of troops to be trained for war.

Also it's demoralizing if you have like 5 people not wanting to stay so they TH snipe #1 for easy loot and leave the rest of the players to carry the weight

It seems like you cant fix any problem without bringing about another. I am a leader of a clan that has won 5 wars an lost about 100, we are a well established clan but for some reason we have so many problems with people not attacking, and when I kick them, more non-attackers join back. I dont think this would solve the problem unfortunately :(

In that situation there isn't much you can do to a troll like that but kick him. The logic in the idea being implemented is it will reduce Abandoners. There is no way to make a troll like that behave. But for alot of the other standard hoppers, they might think twice about joining a war clan just to quit. and if they do, the Cool-down show that the player didn't attack at all, and will show other clans this person cannot be trusted. Perhaps not letting them leave at all may not be the best idea, but they should at least be "Marked", kind of like they are now. If a player joins and has more then 24 hours on his/her cooldown, I know they left their last clan on prep day, so I kick them immediately. But AFTER a certain amount of time there is NO way to see if the player is trustworthy. Now I kick anyone with a cool-down who joins. I just don't trust them.

Agreed. There should be a label that acts as a deterrent as well as cool-down type penalties. But I will always believe that forcing players to stay in a clan after the war starts would rarely help.
