As far as the guy calling me a hypocrite - read again. I am freely admitting I use roundabout ways to do it. I am simply asking for a kinder gentler way to carry out the same thing.
And yes, I am indeed a class act. Thanks for noticing.
the two suggestions after that are good ones. I agree that making it a FULL opt out is worth considering.
I hope that if the button is created, it works as you've suggested here.Quote:

I can definitely see why you feel the way you do, as I once felt the same. Having clan wars remain full clan vs. full clan seems more pure to me than what you're asking for. That said, if the button is created, I won't whine about it.Quote:

Simple math? I have no problem getting my CC filled with twenty fewer members. Our farm team started with five members, and has grown to 25. They are not struggling, either.Quote:

We'll just have to agree to disagree.
Ever since we created the 2nd clan, we have gone 11-1-1.
The 2nd clan is doing fine on its own, and is now about the same size.
I want this button...
Actually, I want 2. One so the leaders can force out players and one for the player to opt out themselves. It would make clan management sooo much easier! We end up kick/inviting a lot of people and I am sure there are some people in our clan that would opt out every now and then. We do constant wars and some would appreciate a break.
I couldn't care less if people take advantage of it. We will still beat them anyway.
I think the button should toggle between warrior and spectator mode a player can be in. The leader and the player in question can both have access to the button. (Co leader can be debatable, whether that is good or not depends on how freely a clan gives out co) When war starts the routine instead of taking in the entire clan population takes in only the ones in Warrior mode. From there everything works the same.Quote:

"I don't care if clans take advantage of it either. We will beat them anyway" ---> True true true true true!!
I am a co in my clan most of the time, so I would prefer that co has access to it too. I start about half the wars and without it, I couldn't do that. In our clan, we pass the leader around depending on who is busy IRL and who can be on most often. I understand that there aren't a lot of clans managed this way though and it takes a lot of trust. I would be OK with just the leader having access if it helped keep clans together. We could easially work around that.
Nice idea.Quote:

with opt out options it allows clans to have weaker players to help them grow knowing they dont need to struggle till in a postion they feel they can fight
This is an issue of weak/poor leadership and poor member selection. Our clan allows members to opt-out if, for-example, their spell factory is upgrading following a TH upgrade. It's all about coordination. We war at exactly the same time all the time. Everyone knows when war begins. Those who don't want to war can leave the clan before I hit the big red button and come back as soon as I have. I disagree with the opt-in/opt-out button. It gives a handicapt to poorly managed clans.
And if your coleaders are screwing things up, demote or kick them. Ain't nobody have time for that.
