Policy regarding boat attacks

[penguin]

Clash Kittens does not condone boat attacks. Our members have been specifically told not to attack the boat defenses of other clans during clan wars. Our strategy of winning is to get the most medals every day. Simple as that.

Boat defenses help move boats forward slightly and getting 1,000 movement points from our boat defenses plus 9,000 movement points from winning the first 3 clan war days is our strategy for winning in 3 days.

If we attack other boats, they might attack back. Without boat defenses, we will require 4 days to win clan wars.

Winning clan wars in 3 days allows members the ability to lose all the games on day 4, on purpose, to help find easier games in the future. It also allows members to substitute cards for day 4 to focus on card mastery and testing new decks with lower stakes. It also allows some people to take a vacation day from stressing over clan wars.

Boat attacks gives 75 medals for a total defeat and 125 for a partial or complete win. Duels gives 100 and 250, while everything else gives 109 and 200. Thus, boat attacks give fewer medals.

Boat attacks also hurt the feelings of other clans. How do you think it feels for your clan to get 3,000 trophies and another clan gets 12,000? Clash Kittens regularly gets 2 to 5 times the score of the clans we go against right now because we are a far better clan than the clans we play against.

Meow is exceptional with recruitment and got several good players. Within a month of starting clash kittens he had 42 players. Then, Clash Kittens cut its members who did not do clan wars regularly and added about 2 dozen members from a gold ranked clan because those people wanted to be in a clan very active with clan wars. We have been focusing on growing to be better still. The reality is that we are very likely to win every clan wars game for over a year. We basically started at 0 and in under 2 months will be silver rank. Every 4 weeks we get 160 clan trophies. Over the next 7 months or so, we should reach gold level with 1,500 trophies. Over the next 52 weeks we should get just over 2,000 more trophies. In order to reach legendary league in 6 months after that, we will need to reach our recruiting goals. This means having 50 team players who are will to participate in clan wars.

The thing is that we don't want to be jerks. We don't want to get there by hurting the clans we defeat. Right now, we are going to easily win for several months.

Have you ever been in a game with a level 11 crown tower against a level 15 crown tower. He has 2 evolutions and level 15 cards and you can't even 1 shot his skeletons. You do everything right but it's impossible. Your arrows are a joke against his over leveled cards. You play the perfect counters that should work, but he is just too over leveled. It's frustrating.

Well, that's how our opponents feel now. Imagine a clan with 20 members. They could all win every game and lose to us. We are simply way, way better than the clans we play against right now. It will remain like this for a year or longer.

So, it is our responsibility to be good sports and respectful. We should not attack boats because we don't need to. It doesn't help us. It just hurts their feelings.

In the future we may change this, but for now, no boat attacks are allowed.
