Rules of membership

As part of the clan, we are bound by the following rules:

Activity:
Be active in chat.
Introduce yourself. Age, gender, location...
Please be prepared to give your ok to the rules and introduce yourself when you join.

Donations:
Donate before your first request.
Minimum donation of 200 per season (that's only 100 a week).
Requests are unlimited within reason. (Ratios over and under 3x on donations are deemed unacceptable)
Please follow request instructions in the request box.
Archers are default donation if request is not fulfilled after 5 minutes.
When requesting troops (excluding Clan Wars CC requests),  please refrain from specifying certain level of troops. Our clan requirements eliminate low level troops, and we need to ensure all member are able to donate and meet their quotas.
No Barbarians, Goblins or Wall Breakers unless otherwise specified.

Conduct:
Be polite and nice. No spamming, foul language and fighting among clan members. No racist or any type of discriminatory language will be tolerated.
Multiple accounts are allowed, considering that they are all active and following the clan rules.

New Members

New members are those who have the 'new' mark on the clan list. These members are under a probationary period.

This means that a new member who violates our rules and shows no signs of improving, will be kicked out by an elder or leader instantly. Only full members are protected by our member rights.

Full Members

A member has the following duties:
Donate and request as much as possible to help the clan to grow.
Be fair: if you request much, donate much. That's what the 3x up and down ratio is for.
Members requesting too much are seen as free-loaders, member donating without requesting enough are not giving others the opportunity to keep a healthy balance.
Be thankful. Thank on your request and after receiving.
Be active – chat, support the website and our clan activities.
Help the clan to recruit new members if possible.
Read all messages carefully and act upon them (visit the clan website at often to get the latest clan rules and news).
A member has the following rights:
To be protected by the clan rules.
To participate in our clan activities.
To ask for help and advice.
To be treated with respect and dignity.

FAQ

Question 1: Will I be kicked when my donation balance is negative (I received more than I've donated)?

Don`t worry. We are here to have fun. The statistic will count for 2 full weeks (once cycle), so you will have plenty of opportunity to donate during that period. Also, catching up donations is really easy. Donating 'bigger' troops like Dragons and Giants will help you increase your number fast.
But what happens, if after the two weeks your donation balance is still negative?
Again, no need to panic. In this case the Leaders/Co will discuss your situation. After all, we are a family. We don't want to kick out good members over a few troops. . .
We place importance on active members that are polite and participate in clan chat.

Question 2: How do I become elder?
Clan Elders need to meet the requirements found on the rules page, but that does not necessarily mean you'll be promoted. Clan Elders are elected with the clan needs in mind, and as a duty, not necessarily a prize. Level of activity, conciliatory team spirit, time in the clan and loyalty are the key ingredients.

Question 3: I really need Gold/Elixir... Can I drop my Trophies below the required amount as I want to go farming?

Yes, you can. As long as this drop is not permanent and you work yourself up again.
Please consider that low trophy members do not help the recruitment of good new members as it makes the clan look less attractive in a first impression.
This might also leave you outside of the war participants list.

Question 4: How often do we participate in Clan wars
Clan wars is a time and resource consuming exercise, and as a relaxed, adult clan, most of our members have professional and family obligations. Though we chose to do war at every other day with 24 hours cool down.
Taking all time-zones in consideration the Clan Wars will be started at noon Coordinated Universal Time (UTC 12PM). Preparation day will begin at noon until next day which is Battle Day.

Question 5: How do Leaders/Elders decide on acceptance, rejection, and kicking of  members.
Our great spirit of friendship, sharing and family comes out of everyday hard work . The wrong members and the wrong behaviors can be a threat to this great atmosphere.
Clan Leaders and Elders have a unified criteria and share a common guideline to ensure we accept the right new members, and keep the right ones, and a great deal of experience too, so please trust our judgment when we make our decisions.
