Introduction:
There are a couple other threads dedicated farmers' ranking in terms of GG & HH but there hasn't been one that has strict rules about boosting. So I would like to test out such a competition and see how the response is from the community, and provide more recognition and encouragement to people who farm without using gems - ones like Cloud Whisky and most members of Exploitations family I believe.
In Unity Alliance I produce a Raid Points report at the end of each season, to add up each members' GG & HH gain over the past season together for a single metric: Raiding Point. 1 DE or 100 Gold = 1 Raiding Point. So we are able to formulate 1 single ranking system for all farmers in our alliance. For the next season and onward, I was going to add an attribute for people who do not boost in that season. I have a sample ranking at the end of this post, but this one does not exclude boosting.
So anyone can join this competition even if you have boosted in the past or is currently boosting, as long as you don't boost during the competition then you won't be disqualified.
Rules:
So each participant needs to submit the following data to me on this thread within 12 hours after each season ends (when server resets your badge). And I need the following only:
1) A screen shot of your current gold grab number
2) A screen shot of your current heroic heist number
3) And tell me your our current Town Hall level
In order to participate in the first season of this competition, you need to post the above data in this thread
within 12 hours of season ending. The first season will be from March 17 to March 30.
Here is a sample submission:
My TH level is 10
Restrictions during Competition:
I will be posting the
top true farmers of every season (for each TH separately) like the ranking we have in Unity Alliance (sample at the end), except that
everyone needs to be gem free when it comes to farming. That means
no boosting, no gemming troops, no gemming spells, no gemming CC requests, and no gemming heroes' recovery time. You can use gems to buy builder huts, speed up research in the lab, or speed up builder time, boost mines/pumps/drills, but you cannot use gems to speed up farming.
During the competition, you
need to update your new clan in this thread if you relocate your clan, and it needs to be a clan with name that people can look up and verify that you are not using gems to farm.
If anyone violates the above restrictions, then he/she will be disqualified and banned from current and all future seasons of this competition. It is okay to compete for several seasons, take a break and do a trophy hunt or farm some with gems, and then return to this competition.
Currently this competition is limited to TH 8-10 only, to limit the workload.
Rankings and Medals:
So we will have 3 ranking lists per season, and 1 ranking for all times.
The 3 ranking lists will be the sample I have at the end of this post: Raiding Points (gold+DE combined), Gold, and DE.
The player with highest Raiding Points will receive 3 medals
The player with 2nd highest Raiding Points will receive 2 medals
The player with 3rd highest Raiding Points will receive 1 medal
The
medals are then accumulated season after season. This leads to the all times ranking, and I will
rank the farmers by the number of medals they have received 
Reporting Violations:
If you are suspicious of someone is chea-ting in this competition, then please PM me first. Do not post on this thread as it can alert that participant if he/she is indeed chea-ting. When you PM me, please provide the evidence you have gathered. If I find evidence to be sufficient, I will either publish the evidence here in this thread or do some monitoring myself first to be sure - we do not want to harm anyone's reputation without sufficient evidence.
If you encounter issues with me in making assessment of the possible chea-ting, then you are welcome to post your evidence in this thread for the public to debate.
Feedback:
Any constructive feedback will be welcome, to help improve this competition. However, if anyone launches any personal attacks or tries to start any flame war in this thread, they will be reported to the forum MODs swiftly and dealt with according to forum rules.
Revision of Rules:
As organizer of this competition, I reserve the right to interpret the rules according to my own understanding, and possibly revise the rules in the future if needs arise. Because this is the first time I am running such a competition, I cannot think of everything 100% in advance, as well as there will be updates and changes made to the game I cannot predict or foresee. So please be aware that the rules of the competition may change in the future. When such changes are to be implemented, they will be informed on this thread at least 72 hours before taking effect, and cannot be applied to the current season for fairness.
Disclaimer:
I reserve the right to end this competition at any time for whatever reason. Of course I will try my best to keep this competition running but if there are other more important obligations in my life prevents me from fulfilling this obligation effectively then I will have to end this. So please be aware of this in advance. Thank you!
I hope that by running this competition, we can help promote some of the values that many farmers held dear when this game first started. Thank you!
