Calm down my friend...I think he might be a tad confused about shields in general and the difference between the shield and the cool down periods...Quote:

Actually after 12 hours, it goes to 4 hours shaved off your shield, I do believe. I started a new account and was attacking through the 3 day shield. Just happen to look at my shield when attacking, went from 16 to 20 hours removed the last attack.Quote:

I also disagree that SuperCell had any specific and coherent expectations (supported by a solid business case) which they designed against. I am of the firm opinion it was knee-jerk, driven by their desire to result in a 90-day revenue infusion, and impress via their coding skills. This, as opposed to a thoughtfully and thoroughly planned set of business and revenue goals, backed up by a series of supporting development projects.
I mean, after all, this is the company that is purposefully breaking many pre-update game play components to reign in customers, who have made them millions, by using the product wrong.
