♦ Welcome to the official recruitment thread and members' guide for The Orbit Society ♦
Hello all,
We are The Orbit Society, a family of clans that strives to offer a custom experience for all of our members. We've created a home for players where they can truly play exactly how they want to. Our four clan system allows players to have a variety of play styles, whether it's all out war, pure farming, or a happy middle ground. Members can potentially move freely between the clans to accommodate their desires.
The Orbit Society is comprised of the following clans:
Fallen Orbit
♦
Lost Orbit
♦
Quantum Orbit
♦
Outer Orbit
Family Wide Rules & Requirements:
♦ Age 18+
♦ No Rushed bases
♦ Must join us on Band. Band is a free group communication app that allows for better organization and helps everyone to keep in touch between clans (No private information can be seen).
♦ Be mature. We aren't sticks-in-the-mud, but don't be needlessly graphic. Have a good time but if drama is being created it will be dealt with swiftly and will likely result in a boot. Ain't nobody got time fo dat.
♦ We are 100% fair-play. Anyone using, shall we say, "unconventional means," will be removed.
♦ Everyone must donate AND receive at least 250 troops per season to stay. This is extremely easy to meet so there is no wiggle room. Fail to meet the requirement and get booted. Beyond this, there is no set donation ratio. However, we will boot leeches with crazy deficits if they are not someone that actively contributes to the clan.
♦ Must have a league badge by the first Wednesday of each season or booted
♦ Fluent in English
Elder:
Elder is our way of showing appreciation for those who are lively in chat and help things along with the day-to-day inside the game. There is only one real additional expectation we have for elders, and that is making decisions on join requests (don't just ignore and keep chatting until it's buried) and then giving any new member you let in our basic run down. This means age verification, introduce Band, and if you're in an FWA clan, give a brief overview of their FWA base (doesn't need to be too picky, we can work that out later). This is extremely helpful to us in making sure we accumulate the players we want/need.
Co:
Co is for people who go beyond and help us operate the clans and keep them functioning smoothly. We will approach elders (or vice versa) and provide them with the opportunity to step up and take on some additional responsibility (you are more than welcome to decline for whatever reasons you may have and continue on as elder). This often correlates to tasks that take place outside of Clash, like gather war weights and filling out intel sheets for FWA, doing outside recruiting, helping out on Band, planning family wide events etc. This kind of stuff is immensely helpful and the more people we have, the lighter the load for everyone.
Band Benefits:
Band isn't just some exterior chat app that you won't bother with, it's an invaluable tool with lots of applications. While it is where we make family wide announcements and war notices, there is additional content created by the members. The Album feature allows us to create more outlets for members to benefit from. Currently, we have three categories and are always expanding:
- Clash Guides: A continuously growing archive of videos demonstrating attack strategies for each town hall level. Used as a source for inspiration.
- Attack Planning: Players can submit pictures of war bases with their drawn up plan of attack (easy to do with the free app "Skitch"), and others will comment their thoughts and suggestions
- Loot!: Just a fun album for people to share their moments of great fortune
- Here's a glimpse at Band -
Notices are like stickied posts here on the forums, always easily accessible with helpful general info

♦ Clan Level: 14 ♦
Requirements:
TH9+ w/ Full Skulls
About:
Fallen Orbit is for the farmer at heart and was founded on the grounds of being a refuge for those who wish to escape wars. However, in order to earn clan xp, we are part of the Farm War Alliance [FWA]. All members must have FWA Easy 3 Star bases. We consistently match with other FWA clans for easy and awesome xp/loot. For the occasion we don't match with an FWA clan, we offer a free win and max xp to our opponents, and in exchange we ask them to put all TH's and storages outside so we can get some free xp and loot. There's no risk on our end so it's a win or break even scenario. Since there is no chance for us to win in these cases, members can choose to practice legitimate 3-Star strategies if they like to gain some experience in a low stress environment.

♦ Clan Level: 12 ♦
Record: 311-77-4
Frequency: Back-to-back
Requirements:
TH7 starting lvl7 walls || TH8 w/ Full lvl7s || TH9 w/ 100+ Skulls
About:
Lost Orbit is the dedicated war clan. This is where members come when they are ready to participate in a focused and organized war. All that matters here is the 3 Star, so put the clan above yourself. If you've got a hero upgrading it's probably best to sit out.
You must join us on Band before war search if you want to be included.
War Rules and Clash Caller:
We organize war through the website clashcaller.com. It is easily accessible through Band at your convenience. Our general philosophy is to work from the bottom up, so if you're in the bottom 1/3 of the war roster you need to call a target before attack phase starts, and we need you to try your best to get your attacks in early. That's simply the role for the lower ranked folks, and its equally important as those at the top of the roster. We cant have the bottom couple THs with both attacks remaining with only 6 hours left in war and expect to do well.
For calls in general: Please click the comment section next to your called number and state the general comp you plan to use (goho, dragloon and so on) and also give a time frame for when you will attack (eg: 6-8 hours after war starts).
All calls have a 4 hour timer on them that begins when attack phase starts. If your call expires it becomes fair game to everyone else.
All TH9s need to have both hits completed in the first 14 hours of the war. If this'll be an issue just bring it up with one of the co-leaders.
Everyone needs to call their base on caller once they settle on a target. It doesnt have to be right away, and it may even be a clean up, but once you make a decision, add your name on caller so people know what your plans are.
Communication is key for winning wars. Losing sucks. Wars are a time drain and loot drain, so respect that your teammates are giving those up to try and get that W and help them out by being present for the war and communicating.
We understand life gets in the way and that sometimes you just wont be able to make both attacks for one reason or another. We ask that you think about your schedule before opting in for war so that you'll be prepared and have time to attack should you decide to opt in.
No one here is a hard ♥♥♥, no one is going to jump down your throat for a botched attack. It happens to everyone, so learn from your mistakes. There's no excuse for not using Caller though. Its simple and really helps people out for planning. If you show that you cant be communicative during war then you simply cannot war with us.

About:
Quantum Orbit is our latest farming clan. It is part of the Farm War Alliance [FWA]. All members must have FWA Easy 3 Star bases. We consistently match with other FWA clans for easy and awesome xp/loot. For the occasion we don't match with an FWA clan, we offer a free win and max xp to our opponents, and in exchange we ask them to put all TH's and storages outside so we can get some free xp and loot.

♦ Clan Level: 5 ♦
Requirements:
TH7+
About:
Outer Orbit is our casual clan with all optional wars and a home for minis. Wars are spaced out with a day break in between each one, starting the search at 5AM EST. Reminders for upcoming wars and our war plan are periodically sent out in mail. Wars are low pressure. We simply want our members to do well and be willing to learn from their mistakes in war.
War Plan:
Clash Caller is not used in this clan. Instead, the following system is used:
Our #1 hit the enemy #1&2, while every else hits one below their mirror on the first attack. Second attack is used for clean up where necessary. Missed attacks leads to being sat in the following war.
