I'm going to begin by saying, everything I say, I will be honest and truthful...with that, a merge isn't going to happen overnight with us. If you're uninterested, I would recommend to stop reading here because it appears I have written a novel.

As you all know, recruiting is awful at the moment and mergers are are inevitable. Scuba's Masonry #289C8UY8 is currently at the crossroads of needing to merge with a similar sized clan. We have already merged three different sets of small groups of friends/clans in our year and a half of existence. We have tried holding out on joining/merging with another clan due to the attachment leaders/co-leaders feel towards "their clan". However, we (I) might finally have to let that go to enjoy the game as our clan used too.

We currently have 12-15 active accounts in our 22 account clan. Due to the loyalty I have to our clan, I would ask that all of our active members would be allowed to merge into your clan (for those that want to, if they don't want to merge, that's not your problem they can stay in our dormant clan).

A typical war for us would be a 10-man war, with 3 TH 10's, 7 TH 9's. We have held the model of no rushed bases. We have tried explaining to our members on which defensive buildings to upgrade first while upgrading troops at the next town hall. We were never a "hard-core" war clan but of course hate losing. Our leaders taught three star strategies, unfortunately not everyone uses them (you gotta take our good with our bad).

Our active members are made up of all adults with the youngest in the mid 20's ranging to one member in their 50's. Where I'm going with this is we are a relaxed group with zero drama. We joke around quite a bit with each other but know when we are crossing the line. We have zero tolerance for anyone to be disrespectful to another clan mate.

The majority of us are in the Central Time Zone, and we war twice per week. We would like to continue to be able to war twice per week. If we were to join a clan that warred everyday, it would be a big adjustment for many of our members, and probably would not work for us long term...unless your clan was completely OK with people opting out of wars as they pleased. Currently war starts on Sunday/Tuesday 8pm-ish CST, however the days do not need to remain the same, the twice per week is preferred. This preference would be a bonus.

With tons of other games out there, that unfortunately means less time for people playing Clash...so we will need your clan to have at least 5 "really active" players. I can give a breakdown in a PM of our "active" vs. "really active" players and what you could expect from acquiring the new players.

We currently do not have a donation ratio, if that's a problem...sorry. We have some people who donate a lot, and some people who donate very little. I've taken the stance of, it is what it is.

Our leader and co-leaders do not expect to be your new leader/co-leaders/elders. Those positions are earned over time and with trust.

Last, I would hope your clan recognizes that if we are not a good fit, we would be welcome to leave and our clan restart this process all over again. The last thing I want is for our clan to ruin anything your clan currently has going for it. This is meant to help both of our clans, not hurt them.

In summary of what we would expect of the clan to acquire us:

1. New clan acquire all 12-15 active accounts
2. Adult clan with relaxed/drama free environment
3. Wars twice/week
4. At least 5 "really active" players from your clan
5. Open policy for new and old clan to go their separate ways if the fit isn't right

For more information, please PM me with details on your clan. I will further PM you back on players you will acquire so you know what you're getting into. And of course, I will be bringing up your clan to our clan, as I will not be making any final decisions without the input of my fellow clan mates...so make a good pitch to me I most likely will not respond to anyone who says "you should merge with us", or something that did not require much thought.
