Love the new rules. parasites are not fun to have.

Thor must be pleased by our earlier blood bath, as I just had my best raid to date! (425g and 123e) Lets start sacrificing more often!

Speaking of the party earlier... You guys are slobs! Rowen you left some of your enemies body parts...errr... I mean your trophies laying around again! I get that we are Vikings, and you guys don't like cleaning, but Mike if you break the plates instead of washing them all the time soon we will have none left. I would like a few plates at least if we have company over! We are Vikings not savages! Kc, I have to ask that you refrain from ax throwing at mealtimes.... The clumps of bloody scalps with chunks of hair is not all that appetizing!! I have told you, that is an outside toy!
Good Night Bears!

Meg, my trophies were not laying around, but drying in the sun. Would you like me to fashion you a necklace?

[Megan09]

True Row, very true! Unfortunately, Joe had too much mead again and started using your trophies as in appropriately. I saw him use a dis attached arm to start patting everyone one the rear. Then cackling madly as he ran away. I also saw him using a loose Eye ball as a tennis ball. The ear thing was the worst. He kept interrupting me saying, "Sorry I can't EAR you" threw the ear at me and proceeded to fall down laughing.
So I propose two things,
1) lets move your trophies a little further away from our camp. That way the Mead sodden Joe is less likely to find them.
2) Let's start watering down Joe's mead.
And yes I would love a necklace.

Check out the new Avatar Leech made for me! It Will cut you up!

My fellow Riverbears.

Our clan is currently ranked 34,715 in the world.

The bad news is that there are only 34,714 other clans above us to

But take heart, the good news is that there are still 34,714 clans left for us to UTTERLY ANNIHILATE.

If we introduce rationing we may be able to squeeze an extra week or two out of it.

Just one question.

Where on Thor's land did you all get those awesome avatars? And where can one be obtained for myself?

I have been doing some reading on the forum and came across this snippet of information which some of our members might not know me included.

Guide to Calculating Loot ( by zacHUVA )

Gold/Elixir Loot:

The percentage of gold/elixir that can be stolen from storages is 25% and is capped at 198k. This means that if more than 792k is being held in storages, it is subject to the cap.

The percentage of gold/elixir that can be stolen from mines/collectors is 50% and is capped only by the storage capacity of the mine/collector.

There is an additional 1k of each resource that can be stolen inside the Town Hall.

Therefore, calculated loot = (25% x stored resources, up to 198k) + (50% x amount in mines/collectors) + 1k.

This means that the maximum calculated loot, for each resource, that can be stolen from 1 opponent (with maxxed mines/collectors and full storages) is: 198k + (6 x 75k) + 1k= 649k.

These figures are BEFORE the multiplier is applied. The multiplier is what is behind the loot "penalty" and the loot "bonus". The amount of AVAILABLE loot= calculated loot x multiplier. The multiplier is determined as follows:

5% for attacking someine with a TH 4+ levels lower than the attackers.
25% for attacking someone with a TH 3 levels lower than the attackers.
50% for attacking someone with a TH 2 levels lower than the attackers.
90% for attacking someone with a TH 1 level lower than the attackers.
100% for attacking someone with a TH level equivalent to the attackers.
110% for attacking someone with a TH 1 level higher than the attackers.
150% for attacking someone with a TH 2 levels higher than the attackers.
200% for attacking someone with a TH 3+ levels higher than the attackers.

Maximum loot after the multiplier is applied is [(200%) x (198k + 6 x 75k)]+1k = 1.297 million of either gold or elixir. This is almost impossible for someone to actually raid, though.

The comprehensive foruma for finding available loot is:
(multiplier percentage) x [(25% x storage amount, capped at 198k) +(50% x mine/collector amount) + 1k]=loot

NOTE: The 1k that the TH stores is subject to the PENALTY, but not the BONUS, as 1k is the most it can ever store.

Dark Elixir Loots:

Dark elixir storages have 5% available for raiding and dark elixir drills have 75% available for raiding. The cap for raiding from the storage is 2k, while the drills are raidable according to (75% of uncollected DE) x (loot multiplier) or the maximum capacity of the drill, whichever is lower.

The formula for dark elixir loots is:
(multiplier percentage) x [(5% x storage amount) + (75% x amount in drill(s))]= loot

There were some questions about loot and loot penalty in the chat today. I am quoting Mag so that this information is avaliable easily. Mike, you might want to add the link to the original posting by Zach in the front page. A lisiting of links explaining game dynamics (like this , flammy's guides etc) will be helpful for everybody.

Guardian proposal: Donation etiquette.

The following proposal is now immediately in effect and may only be overturned by a popular vote against it after one week from now.

"A player may be kicked if they are observed to constantly ask for donations without donating first to outstanding donation requests in the chat. This requires the agreement of at least three Elders."

"Such a member observed to be asking for troops may have his village inspected. If the member is seen to have no archers present in the army camps then this may be taken as evidence that the member does not intend to donate, and may be used as grounds to remove the member from our clan"

I thought I understood this new rule, but there was some chatter in the clan chat today that left me puzzled. Does the village inspection apply to anyone at any time, regardless of donation habits? Or does it only apply to someone who consistently requests without donating?

It only applies to someone who consistently requests without donating.

There is nothing wrong about having no archers in your camps provided you are not asking for donations. What we dont want to see though is someone asking for donations when they dont have any archers to donate in return. Such a person obviously has nothing to give even though they are asking for troops.

This rule is intended to weed out those very very few members who are taking advantage of others. As such, this rule is intended to only be used against members who have come to our attention through their behaviour (asking for troops without giving, many times). It is not intended to be used against members who have consistently good donations and who are active in chat.
