An education to people who trap their townhall

[Gore49]

First of all, I'd like to say what I mean by trap. The townhall must be outside the walls and available to be sniped. The town hall will have bombs and teslas that you can't see.

Ok, a little biology to start. Mutualism is where two species live together and get a benefit out of each other. This is what people are hoping for when they put their town hall out side. I will come along, use a few troops get a few trophies and walk away with my win bonus. You will get to keep all your loot and get a lovely 12 hour shield. Mutually beneficial.

Parasitism (Antagonism) is where one benefits and the other is harmed. This is what happens when you trap your townhall. I will drop a barb or two, see the traps go off. Then drop a few more to make sure I've got them all. I will then ignore the town hall and drop my entire army to take as many resourses as I can quitting around 39% so you don't get a shield. You don't deserve one. You are too stupid. You may say that this doesn't not benefit me. Oh yes it does, I have a warm fluffy glow of perhaps educating the stupid and sometimes get a tonne of loot too.

If if you put your th outside, you want to lose a few trophies and get a shield. If you want to keep your trophies, make a defensive base.

Have be a nice dayClashers 😀

TL; DR

honestly though there's so many threads from internet bad boys talking about how they smash bases if you trap your town hall. I say to each their own.

Good luck to you.

The game is always about getting an advantage over the opponent. Why are you getting so upset by a person who wants to trap lazy freeloaders who look for the snipes just to get the bonus?

I haven't been one to 39% someone because I absolutely cannot stand losing a raid. Must be a pride thing.. Just knowing the defender gets trophies and pride won by me losing against their base. This does not include when I drop farm tho.

When I see a trap town hall i set the bombs off and go all out to get the 100% on them. That's what makes me happy.

I do the same with the exception that I also go for a 50% win (masters II win bonus).

I recently hit a base and i was confident from the amount of loot they were showing that it wasn't trapped. I typically drop an archer to make sure but in this case I thought it was a legit offering so I dropped my queen. Ended up getting 2.5k dark, 300k gold and around 100k elixir after a 60% 2*.

Visited the guys base a few minutes later and noticed that he put the TH completely in the corner. So I actually think he learned something

I am all for moderate trapping to mess up these ridiculous th3 and th4s that snipe up to 4k cups. Seriously get a better hobby.....any fool can stare at clouds all day and snipe bases.

I just wanted to know where Mutualism is meant to fit into a game that is supposed to be about leveling up to squash your opponents. (Of course with the exception of clans)

Giving away trophies is letting the trapper win. They trap to get the defense you give them defenses. Trappers are good for the game in all ways. Just think Trappers are more in the Spirit of the Game then those who farm Bonuses from TH snipes (not to say I don't)

My favorite is leaving 2x2 gaps around my TH untrapped.

I agree a little i guess. I do think trapping your TH is overall not a good strategy. But i will admit they at least have a "small" argument if they are up in masters or higher, because maybe it gives them a defensive win sometimes??

What i don't get at all, is doing it in gold. You will see a ton of people doing it in gold and i just don't understand. Why would you need trophies in gold league? Most people have to drop trophies on purpose to stay there. All that happens is you get someone to pop all your traps, steal some of your loot, kill your cc and heroes, then make it 2x easier for the next guy to take you for 100 percent. All for trophies that are useless.

If you put your TH out, that means you want someone to come and give you a shield. You help them, they help you. By trapping it, you are stopping someone from giving you what you want and annoying them in the process.

If you want to defend your base, put your TH in. If you want a shield, put it out. I, like many others will go 100% on any base with a trapped TH. I'm not going to waste 1/4 of my troops to get the th. If all I end up doing is setting of bombs, draining xbows and infernos, then the person loses. I have level 31AQ and max troops at TH10, so I never fail to get at least a couple storages, no matter what the base looks like.

A mid-maxed TH10 can get away with trapping, most people won't be able to hit the base, but anything below that.. just take the shield and be thankful.

I guess in the long run, trappers help the legit attackers. It allows their base to stay in the pool until someone comes along that will flatten them lol.
