legenfarm4it

Hi All,

As you may have noticed in the clan message or just from the clan chat we now have an official feeder/farm clan. I've been putting this off for as long as I could but the time has finally come and it'll be a learning process as we go, so any input or suggestions is welcome. Jon (Yolo) has volunteered to create this clan with his 2nd account and is our contact person between the clan at this time.

Reason:
First off lets outline the reason for having a feeder/farm clan in the first place. The core of our clan has grown a lot and many want to bring their friends and family into the clan but we are either full or they are not quite meeting our min requirement levels. We've tried to bring lower level players in but it has been difficult with war and there is a whole song and dance to keep them out of war, since it wouldn't be very fun to be beat on and not have any targets to attack.

Purpose:
So the purpose of the feeder clan will be:
-to create a place where we can support our lower lvl friends and family with troops and attack strategies and tips.
-a place where players from the main clan who will be away can go to
-potentially those who are doing an upgrade that prevents them from using full attack strength in war (ex. spell factory, heroes) or who want to sit out a war.

Rules:
Managing 2 clans is difficult so some rules will need to be put in place about how main members will need to act when moving between the 2 clans (work in progress as we are new to this):
-Main clan members moving over to feeder to help support are expected to return for war unless there is a good reason for not doing so
-must be elder or above in order to move to feeder to help support
-must seek approval from leader (for now come speak to me directly) before moving to feeder for support. this is mainly so that I can brief you on the rules of moving in between clans and also I can find out what your plans are.

Future plans:
-I (tokhoi) will be making a joint 2nd account with lizzy to join and help manage the feeder clan
-Obviously the goal of being in the feeder clan is to one day make it into the main clan, so the goal is to recruit from there when the member is ready and there is space in the main clan, hoping eventually to recruit from the feeder exclusively but that will probably still be quite a ways away from now.
-will try to see if some form of live chat can be added to the blog to facilitate communication between the 2 clans

That is all I have for now. let me hear your thoughts below or in the clan chat. more to come on this as we learn more about this.

Thanks,
Xu (tokhoi)

  1. As some of you would know I am more than happy to help out the feed clan, well done Xu! I feel that the communication is a must between the two clans and I'm certain it will be sorted in no time. :-)

  2. This is LesVon - The feeder clan is a great idea and i'm so happy we all have a place for our lower level friends and/or family to join so we can help coach and train them so that, one day, they may be able to join the main clan. There are some growing pains right now, but it's slowly growing :) I look forward to seeing everyone again at war!

  3. Xu, latly I have been thinking... We need some way to communicate between farm4it and wait4it! I though about iMessage, but some people do not want to give out there emails, which is completly okay. A group message through regular SMS wouldn't work either, for the same reason imessage wouldn't. But then I thought... What about Kik? Kik is a app you can get on any phone, tablet PC, ect, So, having Kik allows us to all talk through a group message without giving out any personal information, your cell phone number, or email. This is just a reccomendation, but I think it will be great for communitcating through the 2 clans! So just think about it. c:
