I know there`s several ideas on this theme and
I`ve been reading them.
I found several issues
pointed by the people that commented, what leaded almost all of those threads to become forgotten posts.
Now, the idea:
1. When you click on the Clan castle, instead of the regular options, the option OFFER TROOPS would be there as well. So it will be: Info - Upgrade - Request troops - Offer troops - Clan - Collect
2. Requesting system still intact. And Offering troops will be usable every 20 minutes (is that long enough?), being able to rush using gems. Just like requesting, but offering instead. This time can be reduced as clan perks increases.
3. The limit of housing space to be offered can be the same of the requesting limit, just to match the village level. Ilike that the limit of housing space to offer is the same as your CC capacity, however you should only be able to offer as many individual units as you could donate (5 without clan perks, 6 or 8 with), so if you offer archers, you can only offer 5, then in 20 minutes you could offer another 5, to make it 10, if nobody has picked up the first 5, so if you want nothing but archers in a CC with 30 capacity, it would take you nearly 2 hours to fill up your offer with just archers.
4. When you select the troops you want to donate, None of them leave your army camps until picked up by some one. You can let the replacement troops on wait at the barracks, or not use this feature, if this bothers you. Or, you can suggest something. I know this is a delicate point, by the comments I`ve read in other posts. Here is where I have my biggest question, What happens if you say, offer 5 archers, but then use them? You have no archers in your army camps but somebody tries to accept your offer. What happens if you offer 5 archers, then go nexting for an attack, while searching somebody accepts your offer, then you attack with all your troops, including those archers he took, did you just double up on archers?
5. When you finish selecting the troops you want to donate, give it a title, hit Offer and it will appear on the clan chat exactly like the donation request.
6. Of course this will increase a bit, perhaps, the donation numbers. But since it has a time blocking and just as the requesting system, any random new player with bad intentions can hop in and use it, I think not every one will use this system.
7. Once someone picked your troops, your donations count increase, your donation refund goes in and your troops leave your army camps to the bottom corner of the village.
8. Finally, you will be able to offer again when the time passes or when you use gems to rush the time.

I know someone will say: "This is ridiculous! people will take the troops when they are not supposed to!"
Answer: - The same happens when you request a dragon, and someone place 5 archers there. And we deal with the problem finding whoever is not respecting the requests and talking or kicking out. This will just add a way to donate. So every one has the option of not using (just like I don`t use balloons). Remember that some clans are organized and will take big advantage on this kind of system. Who has a clan where members are not worth trust, Than solve the issues with the clan members. Remember that the game cannot force your guys to be the way you want. your internal clan rules should.
I know someone will say: "This will make donations numbers go insane!"
Answer: - We can make the Troops offer wait time double of the troops request time. Remember that some clans are international and time zones are not helpful on the 24 hours war.
I know someone will say: "Clan hoppers will take advantage on this."
Answer: - Just like as troops request, it is opened. If your clan is opened to anyone, be careful. Or simply don`t use. Remember. Some people never use Goblins or Balloons. But they still there for those who like them.
Now, Sorry for the lack of illustrations, but I am not that good on making them. I hope the detailed text is enough to tell what I think.
And of course, Add ideas or make suggestions! I am not a SUPERCELL developer telling what I am doing. I`m just a player putting several posts together, to make our game more fun and practical.
Thanks for reading.
