What's YOUR favorite part about Clash?

Many of us love Clash. It's a world where our differences are set aside so we can compete in fierce wars, challenging battles, and creating teamwork amongst our clans. Sure, the concept of Clash is great... but what do we REALLY love about it?
I started Clash December 23rd, 2014. When I defended from those goblins, I knew that this game of strategy was more than just a free app. I vividly remember clearing my first obstacle. Three starring my first base. Even joining my first clan! The game had gotten me hooked onto something I could never let go of.
So, off I went. Upgrading, building, and working nonstop to make my base one of the best out there. Sure, it takes some time to master the perfect base, but with time, you can be the greatest in the Clash world.
I enjoy Clash of Clans with all of my heart. The concept is original, which is important to making a great game. Strategic games have always caught my eye as a way to think hard about your next move in the game, how you strategize yourself, and how to play precisely. But now, it's your turn.
I want to know all about you! What's your favorite part about Clash? Is it the mighty attacks you plan? The dangerous wars? Or maybe just how goofy the goblins looks? Whatever it may be, leave what your favorite part about Clash is in a sub-thread.
So whip your CoCs out, and keep on Clashin'.

Learning new compositions and town hall sniping.

Finding 3 loaded lvl 6 de drills.

chasing cups.

Met lots of good folks along the journey..

Socializing with clanmates, upgrading constantly, learning more advanced strategies so one day I can stop talking about those th10 with full storages and millions in available loot and go get them myself.

And it's fun when ppll I know (or don't know, sometimes, at a wifi spot on a war day) see me playing and say "YOU play THAT game?!" That's the thing--anyone can play, at their own pace and level. If you have patience, and are able to maintain a sense of humour in spite of getting your base flattened now and then, you can play forever and not get bored.

The strategy, raiding, and social aspect of this game are my favorite parts about this game. But what makes Clash so awesome is the people/community itself!

I think it's the fact that you can choose the way you want to play the game. You can rush to th9 at level 60 or you can be in LVL 100 at th8.You don't have a set way to attack or play.There are so many stratergies for both ATTACK and defence and you can play according to your terms even in a clan( you can choose one that suits you or simply start your own)

Sense of competition between friends for better base
