TheEyez Clan Rules and Clan Information

Welcome new and existing members to TheEyez.  We have worked diligently to try and provide everything you need in a clan.  Please check out what our clan can offer you here.  We do require you to follow our Clan War Rules during war time whether in our main clan, or TheEyez 1.0.  We also have basic Rules and Guidelines to answer any questions you might have.  Please take the time to go through the links provided so you have a complete understanding of what is expected from each member, as well as what we can offer as a clan.  Thank you

Clan War Rules for TheEyez

     We at TheEyez have an amazing clan with some wonderful people.  Our first goal is to work together to accomplish great things.  But with Clan Wars always being a major addition to our clan life, we do need to recognize the importance of keeping a solid structure to maintain a healthy clan.  Please do not take these rules lightly.  They will be strictly enforced during clan wars.

CLAN WAR RULES

Due to the new Opt in/Opt out update, You may not need to utilize our sanctuary clan to dodge war searches.

1)  Both attacks are mandatory during clan wars.  We have a sanctuary clan "TheEyez Asylum" for any member that will not be able to attack in the upcoming war.  You are required to join Asylum before war search starts.  After war starts, you may return at any time with your elder or co leader status returned.(Those who choose not to use this sanctuary and do not attack in the war will be removed immediately)

2)  All war attacks are for stars, not for loot.

3)  Your first attack must be your war base number or below.  Aim for a base you can definitely 3 star.  First attack should be within 3-5 of your base number on the low side, no lower.  Second attack is to be lower to clean up bases only one or two starred unless all bases below are 3 starred. (Exceptions will be made for a loot attack only if Jay or StrangeHumor grant a loot attack through the message board under eminent victory)

4)  War troops or max troops only. Barch or Garch methods are strictly forbidden even under granted loot attacks. (See rule 3)  This is to prevent any preconceived notions of cheap war attacks for the benefit of yourself rather than the clan as a whole.

5)  Request for max or highest level troops for your war attacks.  Lower leveled players are free to donate troops during farm seasons.

6)  Donate what is asked.

7)  War defensive clan castle donations are to be within the guidelines of Leadership.  Each member is required to help carry the weight of defensive CC donations if they have the required level of troop.

8)  No TH rushing.  Th7/8 with low base defenses are prime targets for easy 3 stars against us.

9)  Top 10 war bases are to help cover the top third of the map.  They should try to save one attack for the last 2 hours if possible.

10)  Top few bases may be somewhat exempt rule 9 because of the resources contributed to war donations.  Chances are they actually lose elixir after each war.  They may need to attack a top base to help cover their losses.

Other Guidelines

     When attacking in clan wars, use war troops and proven attack styles.  Such as Giant/Wiz, GoWipe, Dragon, Hogs, Balloon/minion styles.  If you are failing to gain stars, seek advice on troops and strategies.  We are here to help you become a better player.  If you choose to ignore this suggestion, you will eventually be removed from the clan.

     Newer players with very low Town Halls will be required to attack in wars.  But they will be given much more leeway than higher base levels because of their disadvantage of troop amount and troop level.

Common 3 Star Fails for Clan Wars

Simple mistakes we have all made during war attacks in Clash of Clans

Unfortunately after many a war, people tend to make some very small but significant mistakes that costs war stars.  I plan on adding several videos here covering some of these 3 star fails.  I will say up front that anyone's attacks that I critique, please don't take anything I say as a personal slam.  I have been just as guilty at making these very mistakes in the past.  Classic mistakes can give us a platform to learn and grow with better strategies for future clan wars. I apologize for poor video quality.  I will provide higher quality videos in the future if these videos go well.

Good Trophy Base Designs for Clash of Clans

I have been recently bombarded with an onslaught of requests for good base designs of various town hall levels for Clash of Clans.  So here are a few of my personal favorites.

TH 5

Town Hall 5 Trophy Base

This town hall 5 will give you some very good defense trophies. Notice 1/2 of the storage is sitting on the outside of the base walls.  You might want to remember to keep your highest level storage on the inside, and always keep your clan castle filled with defenders.

TH 6

Town Hall 6 Trophy Base

This town hall 6 is basically an expansion of the the previous TH 5. Notice with this set up, you can keep your upgrading weapon of choice outside the base while the remaining strong defense can continue to protect that which matters most.  Also notice how the air bombs are set near the air defense.  Most giant/healer attackers will first take out the air defense before deploying their healer, in which case is almost always where they deployed the giants.You may also want to switch out gold and elixir storage, depending on what you are saving for upgrades.

TH 7

Town Hall 7 Trophy Base

This base design makes me want to go "RAAAWR"!  Gold and elixir storage is spread out, and the defense is stacked.  For a solid TH 7, this is a very good design to go off of. Plus the design is absolutely beast.

TH 8

Town Hall 8 Farming Base

 By the time you get upgraded to a town hall 8, protecting your resources become a primary concern.  This base design is all about protecting resources. Notice how not only the storage is spread out, but so are the pumps and mines.  Half of which is located inside the base.  This style of base defends extremely well against oncoming archer pirates out to steal your valuable treasures.

TH 9

Town Hall 9 Trophy Base

This is my current base set up.  This design is compact and packs a punch.  It is not uncommon for me to gain up to 100 trophies before given a shield.  This base is best used under Master3, but comes at a price. Outer rim storages will be a primary target for Barch and Giant/Healer raids, so plan on losing a bit of loot with this base.  But it is a great layout for starting a push.

Guidelines for TheEyez community members

Elder

Elder expectations are as follows:  Actively participating in clan chat.  Donations should be at least a 1:2 donation ratio.  If an elder is continually falling under the required ratio, they may be subject to demotion by the authorized "Executioner". 

Co-Leader

Co-Leader expectations are as follows:  Actively participating in the clan chat.  Donations should be at least 1:1 donation ratio.  Outstanding leadership, willing to help others, and very dependable.  Each co - leader may be  given certain responsibilities, such as recruiting, demoting, promoting, kicking, etc. Promoting others to co-leader is not allowed unless authorized by the clan leader first.  If a co-leader fails to keep these standards, they may be subject to demotion, and or kicked from the clans depending on the severity of the offense. 

Clan Leader

Clan Leader expectations are as follows:  Donations and responsibilities will be the same as co-leader.  Extremely loyal to the clans, and very dependable.  They must be willing to work with other Leaders and co- leaders throughout the community for solving problems, and clan building, or rebuilding. All leaders must have some form of communication with the leadership outside of the game itself. for instance kik, or some other form of messaging.  This is required because emergencies can and will happen, and the leader will then be able to reach the rest of the leadership for help.  Each leader can elect a co certain responsibilities for keeping the clan maintained. As a general rule, we normally use an "Executioner", "Promoter", and "Recruiter".  These responsibilities will be given according to the co - leaders natural abilities as a co. Any other co positions may be for mentoring and guidance of clan members.

Executioner

After each war, the Executioner may demote any that have only attacked once, or have fallen under the donation ratio,and kick those that didn't attack at all.  There can be exceptions for members that have given notice for not being able to attack in the upcoming war.  It is up to each leader to determine any other exceptions for certain members that did not attack. If the Executioner kicks a member completely, he/she needs to add the message "Please go to our sanctuary clan TheEyezAsylum while inactive"

Promoter

Depending on the will of each clan leader, the promoter can promote any time, or only after wars.  Promotions for elder will fall under the Elder requirements of activity and donations.  If a member seems irrational, or a potential problem, the promoter may elect not to promote that individual to keep the integrity of the clan.

Recruiter

Recruiters are very important considering after each war there will be a reduction of members. The recruiter needs to fill the clan with new members.  Recruiting tactics must be for finding friendly, active, and mature members.

Build Team

Certain leaders, co-leaders, or possibly elders may be called upon to help build a new clan, or rebuild an existing one.  Those that are involved with the build team are among some of the most trusted and dependable members of the community. Expectations are for recruiting, donating, and instilling TheEyez integrity and values with new members.
