Vacation Setting

I have discussed this with my clan and everyone seemed to think it is a great idea.

We win our wars through participation, we might not be the strongest at times but we get in all of our attacks. We all know each other in real life and that is our stipulation to get into our clan. We have recently lost wars because people have been on vacation and hence this is where this idea stemmed from as we try and go to war twice a week.

In the settings section, there should be an "on vacation" box. If selected, then that member is not counted towards going to war and the next person is included. For example, if you have 24 members in your clan and 3 people have the vacation box checked, then members 21, 22 & 23 are included.

I believe this is a pretty simple feature and could get more people involved.

This is a good solution tbh my clan is a b2b war clan. and we solved the issue ourselfs.

We have two clans.

TENEBRA'S WATCH (Active b2b warring)

TENEBRA'S CHILL (war free zone, When upgrading spell factory/Royals/Vacations/School etc etc.)

What's the point of calling this a vacation setting?

This is a simple opt in/out feature.

A feature Supercell has stated multiple time they are not interested in implementing anytime soon.

It's called Clan Wars not Some of the Clan Wars.....

But its a fact that nearly every clan has that problem and solves it with clan "copies": "war clans" and "idle/vacation clans". that often causes problems with memberships and recruitment. so why not solving that issue with an opt in/out feature?
I'd like that feature and i guess a lot of other players too. i'd even go further and would like to see a feature, so that the clanleader can decide which members can participate. we often have a problem with new members, leaving hours after the clan war being started.

looking forward to read some more opinions!

You can find all of the arguments for and against an opt-out feature with a brief search. There is a link in my sig to the thread that SC responded to. The fact is that some clans are already using the leave/boot then rejoin tactic to ♥♥♥♥♥ the war match making system. Making it easier for them to accomplish this will simply make that problem worse and more widespread. I can see maybe allowing 1 opt out spot for every 10 clan members because there are times when the 8 total minutes invested in war attacks is not possible (deployed, hospitalized, cruise, vacation to a 3rd world country, etc.) but that is not the case for most people so just a few will be adequate to accommodate the truly disconnected.

SC did not 100% rule out the possibility of a future opt-out system but they were clear that they considered it better to find a solution that encouraged the entire clan to participate. They are well aware of how badly this is wanted and we can safely assume they have taken into consideration the very real concerns of the anti-opt in crowd. Their concern is (and should be) the health of the game as a whole instead of the happiness of individual clans or players.

Thanks Untamei7! We may try this until SC decides one way or the other. How do you get around the leader situation of the "Chill" clan?

Exactly AxionXD and everyone in our Clan likes to go to war. But, for some of us, we get away and go on vacation and when that happens it hurts the clan in wars. This next week we have 25% of our clan on vacation. I know when I am away, COC is not my priority. So yes, I called it a vacation setting.

We are one of those clans that did the War and Farming Clans.

As the above poster stated, they haven't "ruled it out" but they have said that they do not plan on making this feature anytime soon.

If you can't get everyone on board to war, then you don't go to war. If the leaders force the issue without coordinating with his members, you are destined to lose. In war, you don't get to pick who goes to to fight. You are part of the clan and you will carry your weight and the weight of others if necessary. If someone doesn't carry their weight, they do not belong in your clan. If you do not want to get rid of them, then you have to weight between a loyal group of members or frequent wars.

What's more important to you?

Having two different clans, one for war the other for farming, is perfect. Only those that will use both attacks go to one, if you need a rest you go to the other. It's been working perfectly for us and we've actually grown well in both clans. We try to keep the war clan under 35 people, which means if you only use one attack you are on the chopping block. 25 is actual ideal in my opinion, but we can and have gone up to 35...

Our farming clan fluctuates upwards of 35-45 people depending on if more are warring or not.

We have a dedicated 20 or so that stay in our warring clan practically permanently. We do not rest, war starts as soon as the last one ended.

It's been working perfectly fine. You are either a war clan or you are not. There is no room for inbetweeners. Those that try to be inbetweeners ends up being Loot Feasts for those of us that are dedicated war clans.

Other clans have the exact same problem. It is self balancing/self canceling.
