Why not have a ClashCon in the U.S.?

The location for ClashCon makes sense for the creators, I'm American and would love clashcon but that's just how it is.

Now if the creators want to they can always have ClashCon types of events all over the world to celebrate with all of their fans, but that's up to them. That would be awesome!

Ugh...I wasn't intending this thread to be an "everything evolves around america" thread. I was just excited about ClashCon and can't wait to see if they decide to have one here. Wow.

HAHAHA good joke, But seriously, take a good look to the world and where things come from.

America would like to dominate the world and makes their citizin believe that the US is nr1 in the world.

Propaganda, hidden in every piece of media, movies etc.

Its all make believe,

But The US isnt the only one.

Russia does the same, every country in europa and of course the rest of the world.
Wanna find the truth?

Dont swallow the garbage that your own country and their media chewed up for you.

Its all lies and deception.

I believe a majority of the older players and also the newer players are from here and I know it would be a huge event that would draw so many people from all over the country and also would get great press. Maybe they are planning one in the near future? We could only hope.

But your whole argument is based on fake data from a simulation server made by an anonymous person not related to Supercell...

Don't expect people to take your thread seriously.

Think of it as a good excuse to travel to another country! Sure it's more of a commitment to go to another country, but you get to do some sightseeing while you're there.

Ugh, this derailed in to my most hated type of thread.

Europeons, most of the things you say are incorrect about America, and vice-versa. Just answer the question honestly and forget about the location stated. Would this have happened differently had the OP said India? or say, South Africa? I'd assume so.


Supercell has roots there, and it makes sense to have an event in your home town.

And you have to understand that we Americans live in a culture dominated by all things America, we share a border with only two countries, Canada and Mexico, and a surprising number of Americans couldn't even tell you that much. At this time, I inhabit a city which is probably at around a couple thousand miles (quite a few more Communist kilometers) from any international border (unless you want to count our many federally recognized tribes, but that's not really the point here).

The mindset in other cultures is different. If you were to hop in your car and travel 300 miles (again, more kilometers than that), you're probably going to be speaking another language, recognizing a completely different government, remarking how your people once fought wars with these people and everything is now hunky dory. If I was to travel 300 miles in any given direction, the cities look much the same give or take a few attractions here and there, and the rest is quite homogenized, even down to the arrangement of merchandise at your local retailer (a Wal-Mart, no doubt).

I guess what I'm trying to say is pardon us. We come from an insular (yet open), self-obssessed country and lack the tact to recognize that in ourselves!

This....so much this ^^

Actually kilometers excisted long before communism.
Also 1 mile is about 1.5 kilometer.
Speaking about land miles, sea miles are even larger

I think that was a joke xD

From economy, military, technology, sports, language, Americans don't see a need to know other countries because they are already the best in most of the things they do. Honestly, it is a very short-sighted view and these Americans are confined into their own culture and eventually they will fall far behind to the rest of the world. Americans living in big cities like San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Houston..etc are very open minded because the cultures in those cities are so diverse. It is the Americans who live in lesser cities who still think everything should revolve around America...

America IS dominant in just about everything and everything they AREN'T dominant in, they downplay. That's why we Americans think everything revolves around us. We just don't give enough credit to other countries I think.

1. This is the first and so far only scheduled clashccn
2. Supercell HQ is in Finland, so respectfully they should have the first clashcon there
3. A lot of the first players were in Finland and those are the people that are going to go to clashccn
