I have played this game in brief spurts since it came out. About a year ago I set up a clan when I decided to buy the daily gem letters and try to complete the daily quests. After that month I quit the game again. I restarted about a month and a half ago and decided to give it a more serious try. I went into the clan and was shocked to find it had 50 members. In the first clan battle only 2 people played ( myself + 1). So, I figured out how clans worked and kicked off 40 players that were showing they had not entered the clan for either 59 days or “greater than 30 days”. With 10 players we were matched with the same clan each battle. Only the one player answer in the chat. So I kicked 4 more leaving six and promoted the other player so he could still use it if I abandoned it. We got a variety of opponents all of the type where there are a couple of high FP and the rest really low while my six are more average. So, we always lose but don’t really care because the two of us who play are still in the top 4 or 5 and get some black pearls and completed daily quests.
The last battle I did not get notice of it. When I went in and saw the egg and tapped it l was told the battle had already started and I didn’t enter (true).
I put in a help request.
Since then I have been checking frequently and there have two challenges. Yesterday on one check the egg was there, I tapped it and received the entry screen, entered, and left thinking problem solved and did not check again and did not think to get a screenshot. This morning I go in to “play a clan event” and the CvC egg is gone and a third challenge is in its place.
I have read a lot of the clan invites and do not want to get into that. Partly because of the spending requirements but mostly because one is required to be sociable as well and as a low FP I am guaranteed to be encouraged (I am way too old to need or want that). And, as an elderly person I cannot guarantee that I could always play, or give notice when I can’t, or “politely leave the clan in advance of knowing I can’t play so I don’t mess things up”. My one person that plays is not chatty either.
I have not recruited to replace the 4 non players and don’t know if I ever will, but the battles are a bit fun and I hope Rovio has not cut me off from them forever.
Thanks for reading, just needed to vent I guess.
