Be respectful. Members must be respectful to other members at all times. Disrespectful and rude attitudes and behavior is not welcomed. Being respectful is also a matter of how you comment on others/give advice - this should be offered - not enforced. Being respectful is also about not rediculing people with less skills or different cultural background - we are predominantly a danish clan but a core value is acceptance and respect towards other peoples values as well
Be positive. Most of us play this game to unwind and have fun. We don't need additional drama and stress. Negative people and negative comments are not welcomed. Please and thank you and you're welcome are welcome words.
Be helpful. Support your clanmates, especially the new recruits and junior players through offering advice to and helping those who needs it. We are a team and get stronger as a clan when we help each other get better at this game. Remember that "the soldier you train will be the one protecting your back".
Be generous. We are best as a clan when we have a high level of trust between members. We donate our best troops to the clan because ultimately we all benefit from it. It only takes one selfish bastard to ruin that trust. Stingy and selfish behavior doesn't work here and will not be tolerated.
Be active. Growing in the game as well as being active in chat as well as the essential war efforts is key to the clan. Low activity levels are allowed for shorter periods of time due to e.g. job/study issues, vacation, illness etc. but we normally expect you to check in at least every second day to check whats going on and contribute socially too. New members proving to be inactive will be kicked fast - Longer term members will be prompted for a reason as well be given more slack BUT if you are inactive for 2-3 weeks without any explanations you risk getting kicked regardless of status.

Clan Castle Donations and Requests
All members must donate before making a request for troops. It's the first rule and a key principle. If you can't read or follow this basic rule, Elders and Co-leaders have the authority to kick on the spot.
Aim for a balance in your donations vs requests. Skewed balance for longer periods is considered to be selfish attitude, and will lead to you being kicked, but short term imbalance in ok - since we cant all have more donations than received. Hold back on your requests or donate multiple counting units (Giants, Wiz, Dragons etc.) when you are skewed, and explain yourself if you temporarilly need to be off balance. An imbalance of 100 units will raise a red flag!
Our default donation is archer. If a member makes a general "I need reinforcements" request, the default donation is archer but other units except goblins are acceptable too. You cant and shall not specify level of troops in your requests - play with what u get and appreciate that people are willing to donate .
Honor troop requests. If a member in a SPECIAL SITUATION asks for a specific troop type/level, the only acceptable troop donation is that type/level. No substitutions. If you don't have it, ignore it. Please don't dump troops.
If multiple requests are made at the same time, prioritize your donations for members in good standing. Members with good (donate:receive) ratios should receive priority. Members with ratios poorer than 1:2 should be prioritized last and if this is an ongoing situation these members risk being kicked.
Please and Thank You go a long way in this clan. (giants pls, wizards thx!, etc.)

Clan Wars: Initiation
War is 1-3 times a week but only after commitment from donors and at least 10 members. War should never be a one mans decission so we cast a vote before going to war - 10 yes's equals war but we expect others to follow through upon initiation so silence is not equal to non-participation - we need all hands on deck. Heavy donors can veto against war and any no-to-war will be listened to and evaluated before we commit the clan.
Appreciate the donors. War costs 1 mio+ in elixir from the donors who does not get anything but the pride from victory out of their donations to clan castle defence troops. Be appreciative of the generosity and the leaders of the clan acknowledge donors as true rolemodels who deserves respect!

Clan Wars: Clan War Castle Donations
Co-leaders and appointed/volunteering donors are responsible for fulfilling all War Castle requests for Clan Wars. War Castles are the ones on the Battle Map and used solely for defense during Clan Wars. They will receive the highest level troops that Co-leaders and other selected donors can provide in order to equip our clan bases with the best defense during Battle Day. Co-leaders have the right to over-ride your request if they feel your request is out of line with Clan best practices. Do not donate to Clan War Castles during Clan Wars if you are not appointed/allowed to do so via chat. No Exceptions!*
During Clan Wars, please prioritize members requests when they are using their 2 Clan War attacks. Please state your request for War Troops by including "War" in your request. (i.e. war dragon pls, I need war troops thx, etc.) When you are done with your 2 attacks, please be patient when waiting on troop requests until all attacks are completed and Battle Day is over.

Clan Wars: Battle Day
Priority during Battle Day is getting maximum stars.
Priority during Battle Day is getting maximum stars.
Make your best effort to get stars with your attacks. Deploy all your best troops and prioritize the town hall (TH) in your attacks. Without the TH, the best you can get is 1 star even with 99% destruction. If the TH is too well defended, go for minimum 50% destruction of the base to obtain your star. Do not abort your attacks on Battle Day.
First attacks should be going after recommended targets or bases at or below your War Rank (WR). Your best effort should be made to go after War Bases that you feel confident you can 2-3 star. Do not attack bases higher than your WR without Co-leader authorization.
Asking for input on tactics is considered good behavior. We learn from each other and we can all benefit from input from others - the ultimate decission is of course yours and yours alone.
Second attacks should be any base you can easily 2-3 star. If there are no easy targets where you can pick up 2 or more stars, volunteer to do a Scouting Report (SR) for a higher ranked member. If the only recommended targets are too strong and there are no 1 starred bases where you can pick up additional stars, perform a "probe attack" on a higher base. Co-leaders and higher level members may request SRs on unattacked bases. SRs help higher level players by providing information on the location of the traps and the contents of War Castles. These attacks are considered assists and will be credited as a shared win.
Do not attack a base that has been 2 starred if there are 0-1 starred bases left on the map.
Our secret weapon is still a secret but we still need at least a few to commit to this. Follow chat during prep day.
Let us know if you cannot make your attacks on Battle Day. Please inform a Co-leader thru chat or PM me. We all have lives but we are also a team. Don't leave your teammates in the dark

Clan Wars: Unprotected Town Halls (bases in farming mode)
Do not attack bases with unprotected town halls with your first attack unless it is your recommended target AND you can confidently get 3 stars... otherwise wait for authorization from Co-leaders. These are guaranteed stars and will be saved for last attacks at the end of Battle Day.
Do not attack an unprotected town hall belonging to a base higher than your War Rank for the sole purpose of gaining loot bonus without gaining additional stars. "Bonus" bases will be authorized for attacks by Co-leaders based on how much of a lead we have towards the end of Battle Day. (Co-leaders will review replays and anyone violating this rule will risc being kicked from the clan before Battle Day ends.)
