Fun stuff to do when you're a farmer with too much elixer

Great thread! I am 400k elixir away from full. I want to keep enough for the pekka lvl 3 upgrade, but have two days to wait for the archer lvl 6 to complete. dragons shall be handed out like candy, natch (lvl 3). I am also gonna try the mega army tactic just for fun, and unleash on a TH8. They may hate me, but it will be an entertaining replay as I nick about 30k.

create stronger bias point for the base, i.e cut base in half, place all 3 elixir in that half of the base to lure enemy to attack from that side of the base.

more of strategy than "fun stuff" :/

i used to FINALLY get a shield, thanks for the idea :D

Queue up dragons over night and then donate them. But usually the collectors from overnight would push me back up to full again. If I can't find a home for them, I dump them on an unsuspecting village.

I remember, at the end of TH 7 when I had max gold with all gold projects done but still doing lab upgrades, I left my gold mines untouched for about 2-3 days and only collected what I needed from the collectors (Level 10-11). I thought I'd be nice and not waste the gold in the mines and let people take it. Then this one person thought it'd be a good idea to grab all he could from the mines (about 200k) and then lightninged my dark elixir storage =( ...not happy to say the least

I was having this problem before the update last week but now i'm upgrading my dark barracks to lvl 4.
I use the elixir storages as defenses and protect the gold as Junliang pointed out.
