    now back on topic, i have a fair amount of studies i need to take care of.
    if you cared about the bold, i don't see a reason for the backhanded comments.

    nevertheless, i agree said bold part. let's just avoid the whole name calling, "what ♥♥♥ is wrong with you part".
    a question to people who aren't in one of the participating clans/clan families: any predictions on who will win or what order everybody will come in? if you get the exact order right, i'll be forced to admit you're a prophet and never question your opinion again

As long as the requests are filled, it is fine. If some clans are really interested in competing for donations, there are donation competitions out there.

    A lot of interest in a competition like this. I propose something along the lines of this. A four week competition with 16 clans. Leaders of the 16 clans get together and seed the 16 teams and pick their teams. Each week you would be matched NCAA tournament style w 30 of your members competing. For family clans, they would make a separate clan and put 30 members of their choosing in. The tournament would be gg only, followed the next month by hh tournament. Spell factory boosting possibly allowed, barracks boosting would be forfeiture of all gg by that player. Bracket would look like this. 1-16-8-9-4-13-5-12-2-15-7-10-3-14-6-11
    winner of each match moves on.

    I outlined why in the original post, but I'll repeat:

    This competition is not based on one thing, because a competition based on one thing is not worth doing.

    Who wins a gold grab only competition featuring four groups of fifty?

    The group of fifty with the most gems.

    The end. There is no competition in that. We've seen it happen countless times on these very forums before. Simple competitions that can be gemmed to win, will be gemmed to win. It's turned almost every competition into an eventual blood-bath.

    That, and substitutions, another thing that couldn't possibly happen in this competition.

    The reason the five categories exist is to control gemmers a bit. It's much harder to gem success in five different categories then it is to gem success in one. It requires a change in tactics, as well as a thicker wallet. The placement scores are also setup the way they are to reduce the impact of gemming, with a weak link counter-acting a strong link style, and groups of fifty really only being as strong as their worst members.

    The reason I included "in-clan donations", as well as "total donations", was also included in the original post. It is because there are a lot of people who donate through clan-hopping. Instead of telling people they have to play a certain way that may not be how they actually play, I added in-clan donations to minimize the impact of hopping donators, so hopping donators could still do what they do, but they'd have to be strategic about it, or they'd counter-act themselves on the in-clan donation score.

    Fact of the matter is, most of the problems that have come to my attention, have come up because people are not fully reading the original post, and understanding why everything exists. I did not include attacks won to promote "town hall sniping", although you could certainly town hall snipe all day if you wish to.

    I know which clan will win this, and it's not going to be the clan with the highest high. It's going to be the clan with the highest low. I understand everybody's all concerned with high high high, but the bottom will win this.

    Now, if everybody would like to continue ruining this competition, I'll simply have the thread closed, we'll cancel it, and I'll stop doing everything that I am doing. I'm not sure why people insist on being incredibly negative around here, and I've done my best to try and be as positive as I can be for this community, but this thread is absolutely shameful. It makes me sick. All I'm trying to do is keep you guys entertained with cool stuff, and the moment you have even the slightest gripe, you pounce on me and try to destroy everything by filling this thread with a barrage of complaints.
