    Rushing!

    One of our clan policies is no rushers. For those who don't know what I mean, I define a rusher as someone who's town-hall has surpassed there defenses. I should define maxed at this point as well. A maxed town-hall (to me) means you have done every possible upgrade prior to the town-hall upgrade. I should also define xp points as the blue number in the players profile.
    Players kept asking me "Am I rushed?". Or we would turn people away during recruitment for being rushed and they would argue like crazy " I didn't rush". Clearly, in most cases you know if you are or not, I would think. But they asked anyway, and didn't seem to understand it.
    So in order to decide who had rushed and who was max, and to what level we developed a metric (a clear number)
    In all honesty, we wanted to quantify who is rushed or maxed and to what level?

    This is how we calculate the number:
    Step 1: Square the town hall level
    Step 2: Subtract the number from step 1 from the players xp points
    step 3: take the number from step 2 and divide by town hall level ( this creates a magnitude)

    We call this number the "Rush Number" . It ranges (so far) from -3 to 3. This number is very biased, By that I mean on lower level town halls it is forgiving at higher levels, its very harsh. Because in war a rushed town hall 9 is far more damaging then a rushed town hall 4, and in general game play far harder to fix.
    Id give some examples of some numbers but no space left, let me know what you think...thx

    Interesting, but you have to take into account that there are th4s that are like lv120+ from donations so that could skew the number a bit.

    Just me, a Town-hall 4 that is that active, I'd want in the clan I think. He/she helps bring down the average townhall for war and donates well. So the metric saying he/she is good. Would be correct? in that case I think
    If you are th4 that long you would be maxed I would think, but good point..thx

    Well I mean it could be a th10 that is level 115 or something, but they have lv1 defenses. Most of the time exp can determine this but just keep in mind anyone can donate, and some good people donate less than lower skill players.

    Experience level is not a good indicator of how rushed or on par a base is since donations give experience.

    I've never seen a Town hall 10 that's level 115 with level one defenses. Its possible for sure.
    Keep in mind defense upgrades have a far greater impact on xp points then donations? and the game hasn't been around long enough for someone to donate that many troops in my opinion. But to your point, donations will biased the number. We have been using it for a minute, and that effect id say is negligible. But your right , the donation number does throw the number off.

    If a player donates so well that this number is a good number, rather then bad? Wouldn't that be a player you want in the clan?

    donations give 1 xp..a single upgrade is many more...

    keep in mind biased the number for great donators wouldn't be a bad thing? just my opinion

    That's not a good way to determine if someone is rushed. Good day.

    Well that just made me laugh.

    There is a player named SneakyDave that I saw on global who is currently lv250+ mostly from donations. Heck, I'm lv102 and I haven't been playing that long on my main account at all.
