Yeah I was thinking about it but as I'm farming I figured I'd just take the easy 120k/120k/700 league bonus, until that tesla popped up

Not a good idea unless you're looking for a 16 hour shield. I had to double check my screenshots because a TH7 with a similar looking base did the same thing and I 'accidentally' 3 starred him because I panicked and deployed too many troops to take out the teslas. :p :p :p

Being a max townhall 10 I dont have to worry about getting 3 starred for trapping my townhall:smirk:

I don't understand why people place town hall outside and trap it.

I understand it but I still think it is stupid. I assume most people trap their TH outside for one of 3 reasons. 1) They want trophies on defensive wins or 2) they think that by wasting troops on the trapped TH then the attacker will have fewer troops for the rest of the base or 3) they think it's funny to laugh at the replays of how people react to the traps.

Pretty easy to understand the reasoning for #1 but I think most people that are wanting to snipe will have enough troops to take out the TH anyway but then are just mad about the waste of troops.

For #2 there is some sense to it but then again many people that would snipe a TH are more concerned with getting trophies than getting resources. For someone like me looking for resources, I'm actually MORE likely to get your resources since your teslas are conveniently placed outside your base so it makes for easier loot! I like taking all of the loot and leaving the TH and it's teslas intact and unattacked.

#3 just doesn't sound like much fun to me but I'm sure lots of people enjoy it.
