Loyalty Gems - A new way to minimize hoppers
Since we all have been facing hoppers who create a bad mood in the clan and make us feel bad once they leave, I came up with this idea.
Although this may not stop hoppers at all, but it will help in rewarding loyal clan members to a great extent.
"Loyalty Gems" are gems which you receive for your loyalty in the clan, that is, staying in the clan for a specific amount of time, in a specific way.
Let me explain a bit more.
When somebody joins a clan and stays for 24 hours after joining, they will see a small green gem on top of their clan castle. This gem is collectible and requires no builder.
For the first seven days, the person will receive one gem per day.
For the next seven days, he will receive two gems per day.
That equals 7+14 = 21 gems for the first 14 days after joining.
When a person has been in a clan for 14 days, he gets a "Loyal" badge next to his name. The "Loyal" badge will be a green gem with a white "L" on it.
While the person stays in the clan, he will go on receiving 2 gems everyday, as long as he is not kicked or he leaves himself.
What this does is:
1. Gives people an impetus to stay in a clan.
2. Doesn't DIRECTLY reduce hopping, but it discourages it.
3. It adds an element of excitement. Who doesn't want gems everyday?
Cons:
1. Some people are in family clans and like to war in one clan and stay in another. They will be at a loss if this is introduced.
(More cons will be added as people read this and give suggestions).
Pros:
1. Keeps the loyal members rewarded.
2. The idea is non-exploitable since the amount of gems received remains constant after one season, i.e 2 gems a day.
3. Twenty-eight gems per season is not an amount that can be easily ignored. Saving up those gems can be crucial to people who don't buy gems.
4. The "L" badge will be a rage amongst everyone and will be instrumental in forming opinions about people.
5. All members, elders, coleaders and leaders receive the same amount of gems everyday. Otherwise, this idea will be exploited.
Let me know what you think.
Note:
The gems that appear on top of clan castles are NON-LOOTABLE and DISAPPEAR after 24 hours if not collected to make way for the next gem which will appear.
EDIT: Only clans with 10 members or more will be eligible for the Loyalty Gems.
The moment a clan reduces to 9 members or less, the "L" badge (if present) disappears and no more gems spawn until there are 10 members in the clan again.
