My 13-year-old started my clan over the summer. He is pretty good at it. He made file for me and eventually I played enough to be the clan leader. My other two kids joined, some classmates and friends joined. My cousins with kids of their own joined. My mom even joined. Then the kids got obsessed on the game, lied to their parents about it and got their Ipods taken away. The Clan is still together, but lost many members because we can't go to war with the top players out of the picture.
If any parents are out there who want to join a family-friendly clan that is only active on weekends and school holidays let me know. We keep an eye on what they are doing, and a few of us donate regularly. We were pretty good at wars (3-0) when everyone was going.
We are in the Eastern time zone (Detroit, Canada), with some in mountain time (Denver).
I have a LV7 TH, 53 experience, 1539 trophies. When everyone is in I am the 4th ranked player in wars. We give out wizards and archers lv3-4 (lv 5 when everyone is active). And if you are a good member and have a lv3 castle--dragons.
