Clash for Gold # 9 - "Just Think!"


Hello4Now has reached level 5! Took a long time. Thanks to every single player that helped us get there over the course of time!
New, more solid priorities in life and in CoC. Less fear of getting judged (What's up, Hoebag! ^^).
Looking for a clan. Farming vs casual war vs serious war vs pushing vs sleeper clans.
My new clan scouting strategy. Using minis before committing to a clan with my TH9.
Why hasn't anyone created a huge website where any player/clan that's interested can look for scrims, sister clans, players, switching subs in and out etc. It's as if the players that would care are so few in CoC in comparison to players in WoW (ie www.wowhead.com), CS:GO or even Diablo 3 where such sites have grown organically.
Pros n cons of different clans. Level 10 perks. Clan chat. Friendly challenges. Wars and pushing whenever I want. Missing the mentality of the most hardcore that have the best discussions, ideas, efficient strategies @ farming / wars / pushing etc. Move all accounts to Hello4Now? The upside is being able to donate troops constantly to whichever accounts I need troops on. I can always visit old homes and other clans that I know get really busy. H4N is currently the most appealing option.
I'll write a table with pros and cons for each type of option and use itto help finalize my decision.
Finally an "actual" guest appearance by my girlfriend! I finally had to come up with a nickname when editing. She chose the Deagle, for close quarter combat with pistols and rifles. So from now on i'll refer to her as Deagle.

Clash for Gold # 8 - The Crossroads


Notice: Forgot to mention that Reddit Omicron is a part of the ByeForever family too.
Using multiple accounts on Android? Using "2Face" for fast switching. Using "Parallel Space" for an extra log in on a 3rd acc. Can also create a shortcut to the home screen with these apps.
Plans to challenge my own bases with minis to practice my base building rather than attacking. Using short drills. Why having main accounts active clan becomes so much more important post update since the challenge update.
Using different mindsets and how it affects how I play. From all out war to farming, over the course of my break which now has morphed into a new phase, where I rather would get into the next learning endavour outside of CoC.
The pitfall of the hardcore mindset. The impossibility for me to play without long-term goals in games that bring out my competitiveness. Even if the goal has nothing to do with any serious competitive play. Why? Cause pushing boundaries is one of the most fun aspects of learning.
Scratching my nose, scratching my eyebawl and Ghosts scratching my walls! Scared the hell out of me.
