Thinking i might have to leave my clan soon...LONG POST

i've been playing coc for two months, currently at th level6 soon to be th 7 after i've maxed out my barracks.
I've been in my clan from the beginning, it's the only one i have been in as i don't like hopping. I joined because my husband was also in that clan.
Lately it's been getting on my nerves being in that clan. The leader seems to be losing control, she gives out free elder to anyone who joins. I HATE that, surely titles should be earned by loyal players who donate troops, give advice and who have been in the clan for a while proving they are loyal! Or maybe that's just how i see it. As soon as i joined i was given elder.
I donate a lot of troops, usually 1000 plus troops to other players who often don't even say thank you.
I recently got given co leader, most people would be happy with that but i'm not. Co leader to me should be the highest honour for a player, who has been in the clan for quite some time, has a strong base, helps out other players and donates etc. I donate a lot and help out other players with questions they have but i don't feel i have earned co especially as she has about 13 co leaders in the clan promoted for less than i was. It just doesn't feel like i have earned it, co leader in my clan feels like a bit of a joke.
Ok, so i'm a co leader. Great! When i make a suggestion to help make the clan better or run smoother i am fully ignored. Discussions about the clan seem to happen better about three of them, i try to join in the conversation but again i get ignored. So then if my opinion is not important or valid, why have i been made co leader? I feel co leader position is being used to keep players in the clan and stop them from moving to other clans.
Despite all this and feeling the time is right to find a clan that is more suited to me, i feel somehow obligated to stay in the clan because i know the players in a way. I feel that i should be loyal. However, i don't feel respected or appreciated so is now the time to move on?
My ideal clan would be one that:
a) makes players earn co and elder. Not through just a certain number of troop donations, but through donations, length of time in the clan, helping other players, contributing to clan wars even if they get no stars. Co should be reserved for the very loyal, respected members and not half the clan being co!
b) i don't want to be warring constantly. One war after another is just tiring, it doesn't give me chance to collect gold and elixer, upgrade troops and defences etc
c) active clan chat. I love it when players chat to each other and get to knoweach other, give troops and tips to other players.
d)Makes every member feel valid and important. Clan decisions ultimately should be for the leader and her (hopefully few co leaders) to decide upon. However, for me my perfect clan would ask members and elders for their opinion on potential changes and where the clan is succeeding or going wrong.
e) One rule for one. In my clan it feels like there are certain players who can get away with whatever they want and not get reprimanded. Eg; one co leader keeps sending out clan mail threatening to kick farming players without permission of the leader. He doesn't ever get reprimanded for it.
f) Strong war win history
g)An established clan with full or near full membership


Sorry for the long rant post, looking for opinions and such. Also if you think your clan is what i'm looking for then let me know and i will join if you are happy to have me.

Hi there,

You and your hubby should find a better clan. Since TH6 players typically don't get into intermediate to advanced clans, they often get stuck in clans that are A) Not very active and/or B) Run very poorly.

I remember when my wife and I were both in the Top200 of a different mobile game. Was great fun for both of us. Find a better clan--you guys should be enjoying your experience. Finding a good clan can sometimes take several days of trying out a couple different ones. Take your time before settling in.

Hello! As said above, finding a good clan at TH6 range is very hard. Most don't have rules, can't keep members, and often and inactive... But I think that I know a clan for you!

Sparto Agoge is an established clan with a range of TH5-TH8s. Sparto Agoge is part of the Sparto Family, which consists of 4 main clans. Spartomans, our main clan, has been around since late 2012.

Sparto Agoge is the newest clan in the Family, but they are almost always above 45 members, so it is hard to get in. Agoge has good elders/coleads, who are active, and help new members get used to the clan and help them grow. Agoge wars once per week, usually on the weekends. They fill clan castles with good troops, have rules to help them win, and attacks are always used. Agoge has never lost a war. Once you meet the requirements for Sparto Protege/Legion you are certainly welcome to move up! I hope you consider joining, if not good luck with finding the right clan for you!

I have just searched and the clan is completely full 50/50 members, shall have to wait until someone leaves.
I do like the idea of a family of clans actually, moving up to a higher one when you have reached a certain level. I like to get to know the members of the clan I am in, don't like it when people keep leaving.

The clan I am in at the moment is at 41 members with loads of people joining for a few hours then leaving again.
i feel very disloyal leaving as it's the first and only clan I have been in, but too many things are wrong in it for me to stay long term. Like I've mentioned I've tried to make suggestions, since I am a co leader I thought they would be taken on board. Nope! I'm ignored!

The people in my clan certainly want to win and move up the ranks but their tactics are to threaten members with demotion or being kicked if they don't use their attacks within the first few hours of the clan war. Not really working since people keep on leaving.

evilNAPKINS BMF is looking for New Members

evilNAPKiNS...one paper cut at a time | Adult clan looking for New Members:cool:

http://forum.supercell.net/attachmen...612217&thumb=1
:cool:WELCOME TO THE LAST CLAN YOU'LL EVER JOIN

evilNAPKiNS Family of Clans
"Active players are valued over all else!"
*NEW CLAN ADDED TO THE FAMILY*

Where and Adult can be an Adult!
Every Friday is Pop A Top Friday! Post a picture of your delicious alcoholic beverage on our Glass board
Adult humor and conversations are always welcome.
This isn't TNT so we don't know Drama!
Aside from that just come have a good time with great people!!

evilNAPKiNS BMF was born September 11, 2014 when we realized we had a TON of applications coming in. We started this clan to build upon the same ideas we had with the original. It is a 400 donation a season clan that is about having a great time but being respectful and mature. The core group of 35 Members that came over and formed this clan have a war record of 31-5-1.

"evilNAPKiNS BMF our newest family clan is a mature group of misfits and extremely chatty. We are mostly comprised of USA based members and a lot of SEC football fans. Sometimes someone has a beer too many or forgets to turn off the margarita blender, but aside from that we are drama free! Archers are also our donation of default. So grab your BBQ covered napkins and lets kill some Super Heroes!"

Leadership, respect and active members are the key to success of the evilNAPKINS. Clans

√ We demand respect between family members and disrespectful behaviors will not be tolerated. However, expect trash talking and joking with each other but this is all for fun.

√ All NAPKiNS have families, lives, careers, school, etc. so if you ever need a break from the game just let us know.

√ Leadership
Is earned not by donation levels but by the type of person you are and level of activity in the clan. We look for the best and brightest, often crazy, NAPKiNS to take the challenge of leadership.

√ Events
Trophy push is first (3) days of every month
Clan Wars are started twice a week with prep days being Tuesday and Friday, starting around 8PM EST

√ House Cleaning
Have a shield on your account by first Wednesday of every season. Low activity members are removed after the war.


Expectations
800+ Trophies
400 Minimum donations per season
Age is 18+
Must remain active
Be respectful and support our family!

We are just what you are looking for!

Join Us Now! Apply at evilNAPKINSBMF.com

As others have noted, you are in a poor spot right now, but finding a better clan is possible.

First, look at the forums. Lots of clans there and you can post in the looking for the clan section.

Second, don't join free elder clans.

Third, look for clans with donation requirements. For lower level clans, 100 per season is ok. But 400 per season is much better.

Fourth, look for adult clans. A 10 year old clan leader is a recipe for disaster.

Fifth, don't be afraid to try one out. One of clan members, a loyal member of eight months now, said he had been in hundreds of clans before finding ours. He joined just to try and beat the donations record in the clan. Instead, he found a permanent home. Another was a nomad, just getting troops from donating clans, until he, too, located our clan and tried to break our donations records.

If nothing else, you can start your own. Since you have your husband, you have two already. Be active helpful and supportive and people will stay.

Good luck.

You might consider joining Chicken's Life or Chicken's Claw...


· Opportunity to war up to two times per week
· Active DONATING clan members
· All levels welcome

However this is a newer clan so we aren't near full, but we do intend to fill up and need your help to do it! If you would like more info on the clan feel free to visit our thread as located in my signature. Thanks for read in and hope to see you soon!

Why should u?

There's no guilt for abandoning a bad clan. Enjoy the game, do not feel obligated to stay in a clan that you may not enjoy being in.

Hey there! Our clan fits most of your requirements! Why not join?

Ok before commenting on the main thing in the thread I have to say something about your clan: Seriously? Donation ratios per level and nagging elders (or members), ♥♥♥? just kick the naggers and those donation ratios are just pure bullcrap. I have occasionally had horrible donation ratios like 1/75 or something while I was pushing trophies and thus not being able to donate much but constantly needing troops etc. would not appreciate being on the "kick list" for that.


Yeah to the OP, no point staying in a crappy clan like that, just move on. Unfortunately you are quite low level still so you cant enter any of the premium clans. there are about 200 bad clans to every one good clan. However it is easy to identify the bad ones; they either give free elder-co, have few or no high level players with actual league shields (active), have few members or few war wins. If none of those are present in the clan then join up and see if its inactive or run by kids, if not then stay.

We sound like the clan you are looking for, run by adults with good leadership. Have a look at MASTERS OF RAGE clan if you like, some cool guys in there

We have some issues in our clan as all do. Mine is a small clan now as we have removed and lost a few members because of it. However I think over time we will rebuild with a stronger more loyal bunch.

My clan is also family and groups of friends that have joined. We do not recruit from global as that often causes problems. I think I prefer the smaller clans though as it's easier for everyone to get to know each other. We are bird defenders with red flame.
