Chicken/Egg of Trophies

Here's my question, where did the trophies come from and how did they get introduced into the game? When you first start playing, you have 0 trophies. You can't *create* trophies, you can only take them from other people. So there is a finite number of trophies in the game. How did they get into the game? How did Supercell introduce them? Do they have a few thousand dummy accounts that they populate with trophies for people to take? On day 1 when the first player signed up, who did he win trophies from?

I'm guessing it is that Supercell has their own accounts that they use to infuse things into the game with. Thoughts?

Very good question and I don't believe that there is a certain answer. Like you said, there must have been some 'dummy' accounts that have since been removed but the only people who know are the developers and the first person to play. I have wondered this before and would be interested to know the answer!

I am not sure about the beginning stages, but as it stands now. If you were to start out, you would notice that as you attack you will not lose trophies and only gain trophies. Plus if you lose at lower trophy levels you give more trophies than you lose. So on a continual basis the trophies are essentially generated from the bottom up.

Your theory makes alot of sense but as someone stated, only the devs know the real score.

As we all know, below 1000 trophies, you will gain more for winning than you will for losing (at close to 0 it is -1 for a loss and +33 for a win). Therefore, I assume that at the start, and perhaps still, when you are at 0 trophies, you will lose 0 for a loss and +33 for a win. Therefore, the first trophies are created and thus -1 losses can start happening.

Below 1000 trophies, you gain more trophies for winning an attack than you'd lose from losing an attack. That is how trophies are created.

It also causes "trophy inflation". More trophies are created every day. That is why the trophy counts of the top players keep increasing.

i like to add that your trophy count will not go below 0. means, if A with 0 trophy raids B with 0 trophy and win, A gets +33 while B stays at 0. This +33 was created

Just a note for you guys:

Every player starts with 200 trophies.

Question solved.

While you earn more than you lose below 1000, it also is the same when you are at/near champs. Winning will put you a few cups ahead, losing will set you back a lot from what I've heard anyway.

No you don't. It's 0 unless things have changed
