Clan Perk (Spy)

Alright, making this post because I am a little fed up with the anti-spy "ideas" being thrown around because spying shouldn't be a problem in any clan with half a leadership in tact.

That being said, I think spying should start being a part of the game.

I say a Clan Perk Level is added that allows one clan to view the chat of enemy teams to see their strategy, and to have access to look at their bases with trap locations.

Only the leader of the clan will be able to use the spy function, they would get a separate chat tab showing the enemies conversation, and in the war map will have full access to the enemies bases and layout.

Enemies will not know when or if they are being watched, but they will obviously be able to assume it is happening due to the enemy clans perk level. Only the leader will be able to spy so it cannot be constant without a pretty persistent leader. They will not be able to communicate with the enemy team, just watch and report what attacks are coming, and let teamates know where some traps are. If they find out the other clan initially attacks straight across (1 to 1, 16 to 16) prior to the war, the clan can change base layouts to defend against their counterparts best troops.

Then spying is legal and part of the game, and everyone can stop complaining.

The End

LOLOLOL. I looooove your idea.



But I don't think they should actually do it.

BEST JOKE POST EVAH:D:D:D:D:D:D!

Oh, wait... You were serious.......:facepalm:

I'm guessing you wrote this because one of your classmates tried to spy on an enemy clan and got rejected. This is ridiculously unfair and OP.

No I wrote it because everyone keeps complaining about spies and act as if it is some great benefit to temporarily join another players clan. Our clan accepts any spies who try to join our clan during prep day, we ridicule them then beat them anyways.

I personally don't think this would be overpowered, no more than free troop donation upgrades. I mean, people can moved traps, nobody can memorize where everyone puts their traps, few clans are organized enough to make use of the information a spy gets.

More than anything it was a statement that spys really aren't problems. Has anyone lost a war specifically because they let a spy in?

At least it was a unique idea anyways, looking at the message board it is the same old ♥♥♥♥, lighnting rod, multiple builders blah blah blah

I agree with that statement, but I still think your idea is overpowered, automatic spying undermines smart clans who would reject a spy if they tried to join normally.

what if they are chinese or japenese then you dont know what they are saying.

Edit- and would the leader be able to check when they want or do they get only so many times. I think they should only get like 5 looks to make sure they use it wisely.

Yep, I agree.

Nice idea, but its too OP, what about :

-Only Leader Can see The Chat
-Can only see Elder or below, cant see the Co Lead & Leader Chat
-The time for spying is limited (ex:1min)

Memorize? no. Screenshot and post to a website? Yes. Happens all the time. If our clan catches an attempt at spying, we send a spy to them, screenshot every base, and post it to our facebook clan page for all to see.

Has anybody lost a war because of a spy? Undoubtedly. Some wars are won by a star or two. Knowing the location of hidden structures can definitely affect the outcome of battles.

I am opposed to spies because it is not in the spirit of the game. The idea is that teslas and traps are HIDDEN. So why is supercell showing them to everybody? If a clan member wants to know where my hidden structures are, they can ask me and I'll decide whether to tell them or send them a screenshot. It should be my decision, cuz it's my base.

People say that decent leadership prevents war spies. I hear it all the time, but it's not really true. How does a clan that wars 24/7 prevent spies? The only answer is to never accept new members with the exception of people recruited in global or outside of the game.

Spies are not in the "spirit of the game"? It has been possible since clan wars has been active, supercell knows about it and hasn't addressed that they think it is a problem.

To those who say I wrote this because my clan gets spied on and we get rejected from the other clan when we try to, please read the other posts. We don't accept new members normally but will accept spies to make fun of them. Hasn't affected our wars one way or another. Nobody from my clan has ever tried to join the other clan during war time because a) we expect most clans are smart and won't accept us, and b) there is minimal benefit to doing this.

It is SOOOOO easy to prevent, even in constant warring clans, because you can search the clan you are battling, and cross reference who is trying to join with who is in the war or in the clan. Secondly, I guess there are probably SOME clans whom have a dedicated website to post war bases, but I am guessing that is EXTREMELY rare. Secondly, for a spy to work, they need to get back to their clan before they attack (generally before war day) when bombs and structures can be moved around or swapped out. Hell, I keep 3 different war bases and tend to change them right before war time anyway if I am on.

Finally, yeah, Spy perk is not a great idea, I saw 3 post on preventing spys when I wrote that and was sick of all the inept leaders complaining about this being such a systemic problem. Guess what, even constant war clans have

15-20 minutes where it is searching for the next clan. Why not leave the requests until the war is over, accept everyone, then search again. Spy's will already be with their other clan and others will not.
