I see the other Arfcom Clan gives something to the biggest donor. What do you think about this? I work in a jerky factory and would be willing to supply beef jerky to the winner.

I have seen that in their thread and I have given it some thought but haven't came up with anything yet. I'm up for any ideas, we can start the discussion here.

The way you are proposing, I could use archers to knock those off first pretty easily, then proceed to busting the walls and flooding it with troops. If you put them inside, it's not easy to knock them off before breaking down the main wall. If that make sense. |

If we give a gift to the one who donates the most each 2 week period. The only thing I will need is an address to send them to.

Sorry Ecko. I did not know this clan existed until after I took 60k gold and 90k elixir from you! I have only been playing for a month but I think I am pretty up to speed on the game. If you ever have a vacancy (currently full at 50) I would love to join! In game name is ProCharger as well.
BTW now would be a good time to get your revenge, I have 3 defense buildings currently upgrading. Attack from the top left If I am going to give it away it might as well be from an arfcommer. |

My thoughts on donations:
Donating is a matter of timing as much as anything...having the right troops to donate at the right time. Donations help everyone involved, though, the requestor gets troops, and the person donating gets xp. Everyone seems to think there's a magic ratio of 1/1 for received/donated, but the reality is you can only donate 5 units per request, while you receive 15, so the ratio is going to lean more towards received. Here's what I propose: For un-specified requests, archers should be the standard donation. It seems to be the most donated and requested unit. Everyone reserve 5 slots in their army for donation archers and keep those slots topped off, and respond to any un-specified request that goes out. It takes out all the guess work and will promote quick fills for requests. Elders can easily check compliance by visiting folks to see if they have 5 archers ready, and it will give them a reason to visit members and offer contructive criticism about layout. Requests for specific units would continue as-is...fill it if you can. Basically just asking for 5 army slots and about 45 seconds per batch of archers to be donated to the clan on a permanent basis. Thoughts? ETA: Sometimes I don't donate to higher-level folk because my troop level is kinda low...pretty sure they don't want level 1 or 2 stuff. At the same time, donating that stuff helps the lower guys out, and if I'm farming sometimes it's nice just to have cannon fodder of any level. How about we tag any request for which troop type/level doesn't matter as fodder so people don't get all bashful about sending low level troops? I'm really just trying to formalize our requests a bit so people become more comfortable giving and receiving. The more we share, the better we all do. |
|
I like it... everyone should keep something in a camp for donatiilons... and while we should get with someone abusing the system with overwhelming ratios of received over donated I think that there should never be anyone in the clan without a full castle.
I would even go so far as to offer my cell # for folks to send me a "FBHO" between 0700-2200 and I'll get on and send what is needed. The castle can make or break a defense. |
|
I like the thought behind keeping 5, however, I typically deploy all troops of a type in a raid, unless I'm farming. With that said, archers are always the first troop trained, so even after a raid, I should have 5 most ricky tick.
I agree with you on the ratio thing. Kinda hard to keep 1:1, especially when you can only give 5 at a time. With that said, people need to give when they can, and when they see a request. Don't skip out on giving, but at the same time, I don't think we want people not to ask if their castle is empty, as it lessens their defensive posture. I think if you have a low give to take ratio, you should be mindful of that when you raid. Don't deploy your castle troops if you aren't giving enough help. There is a race to give, I seem to keep missing the requests, however, think everyone should give when they can. As for people not wanting to give to higher level folks, I don't think that should be a concern. I don't think people are going to be upset with getting lower level guys than they have, I don't. Thanks, b |

I agree with you twelvepack. 5 slots kept for donations isn't a bad idea. Keeping archers is fine with me. You have my support.
I understand how hard it is to donate sometimes, but everyone should have the ability to give when necessary. Timing can be an issue for some. During the day I seem to always be minutes too late to give, show up in time to see the ty's from receivers. I have an easier time during the night, and since I work nights I take advantage of it. Others don't have that option. Whatever we settle on and as important as donations are, I dont want people to fear requesting donations because they are behind on giving. Now, if you are like that guy last week with 900 requests and 100 donations that's ridiculous. But if you need help ask, give when you can. Some players get attacked frequently and don't use the shield. They revenge attack or attack for resources and this again puts them at risk for attacks. They run through troops like water. I'm learning that as my troops level up I don't need to use as many. I also spend several thousand in gold sometimes looking for the best victim. This allows me to keep troops in my clan castle and prevents having to ask for more. As our lower ranking team mates build up I suspect this will happen to them also. |
|
I think it's being over analyzed. I'm usually in the game for 1 to 5 min at a time in the game. It's not always running. That said, it's by chances I get to donate troops.
The donated troops can be used to protect or attack. I expect the troops to be used for both, as getting trophies is an important part of the game to level up. and having are team level up is a good thing for the clan. I say as long as they are donating something they good to go. As far as not donating to the higher level team members, I would like there take on that. Cause I know I have asked and they they don't seam to care what they get as long as the castle is full. This also won't be as big issue, if donated more the lower members, as they would level up faster by kicking ass in battles. |
|
Bottom line, if you need the troops, ask for them. If you've got the troops, then donate what you can. Archers are always welcome and appreciated. I like to give wizards when I can only because most people either don't have them, they are just a little extra fire power. As long as you use your reserves wisely, you should be fine. Give and take.

I have found it difficult to donate troops in the past few days. Maybe when we are on we could say something like "RTD" ready to donate, so if anyone needs any we can donate when we have the chance. Damn chinaman got me last night.

I am still upgrading so not doing a lot of raiding, I always keep my troop camps maxed out, and new archers in the barracks waiting for room, I'll usually have a few when I return from a raid

So we were discussing donations again last night. I think everyone is having fun with the race to donate, but I think we all agree that we need some more requests.
One idea that was offered up was sort of a Leech for the Day. Either as a prize, or just a random daily selection of active players, one player is encouraged to raid like mad and drop clan castles with blatant disregard for donation ratios. I think a way to implement this would be to do a roll call at a specified time, and have an elder pick the leech for the next 24 hours. We keep it informal...no tracking, no ratio comparisons...just try to be fair an pick someone who hasn't been a leech for awhile and will be available. This would really only increase the rate of requests by about 4 an hour for someone pretty damned active, which I know we can handle, but it would also start fucking up ratios enough that people will start ignoring them...a good thing in my opinion. Thoughts? By the way, while we haven't made it clan policy, I've started the practice of keeping 5 slots filled with archers strictly for donations, and I have to say it's really helped me satisy more donation requests. Totally worth the cost of one army upgrade, and you quickly get used to keeping those slots filled and ready. |

We have plenty of people eager to donate, so we are gonna have some people with positive ratios, and some would just have to negative, since we have a limited pool of members. so I wouldn't worry if you can't keep your ratio up, especially when you can get 15+ from a request, but you can only donate 5
