Clan war whitelist option (Opt In/Out of War)

[Phyxios]

Just to keep the conversation lively I will provide counterpoints to the active discussion thread once again. To me "not having time" is completely bogus. It takes 30 seconds to queue up your army and 3:30 to run your attack, twice. That is 8 minutes broken up into 4 chunks in a 24 hour day. I have two jobs and four kids and even when I do not get to really "play" at all during the day I can still get my attacks in every war EASY. To me this is the same nonsense argument that people use when they complain about loosing their loot to Barch armies. It only takes 30 seconds to log in and empty your collectors. Do this twice a day and no barch army will ever attack you.

I do however think there is room for a low number of vacation/unavailable statuses that could be set for actual inability to play. Things like military deployment, vacation out of the country or on a cruise, hospitalization, etc. I think one 1 per 10 people in a clan would be adequate without compromising the concept of "Clan" "War".

people generally don't have internet if they are out of town. Camping included.


This game should not run your life, you should be able to pick up the game when you want, and not have top fear being kicked from a clan, or having your clan loss a war, simple because you chose not to play the game for a few days.

How ya doin Phyxios. I agree with you that games should not run your life. However, this is a social game and as such has social dynamics as part of it. 8 minutes every 2 days is not enough to count as running anyone's life. Unless possibly those 8 minutes were spent with my ex-wife. If you want it to be less social than the rest of your clan it is probably best to find a different clan, which is the real problem. There is no effective way to find like minded people/clans.

As for the camping part, I would lump that in with deployments, other forms of vacation/travel, etc.

I'm good , yourself?


its part of life, and you can agree or disagree, but nothing should be able to force me on a game, when I do not want to play it, nor should I need a new clan, to be kicked from one, or leave my own clan if I was the leader and co-leaders wanted to keep warring.

Good here. Just trying to break up the monotony of single sentence replies and keep this thread near the top. Agree or not I would like to SC to give us an idea of where they stand. I have another piece of conversation kindling that I will drop in this thread in a day or two. Again, in hopes of keeping the discussion alive and on the front page.

I agree! Thing is, is yes some clans are simply random people, in this case you might not care to have to kick them, however others are military who are in the same clan, and more that has family and friends! If they want to go to war and only have ten active people at that point in time they should be able to!!
A while ago when this idea got started a soldier requested this kind of option because they are deployed at different times! When you work you get vacation time where they plan for you to NOT BE THERE! In the military they get leave for them to spend time with family! That is all this option is! A way for clans to plan for you not being there! Without going as far as, well if you can't play every day we don't want you!
