If I agree to join, will this consume all my spare time and perhaps endanger all of my personal relationships and productivity at work? Because I feel like the Meh forum already does that.
@bluedyn Yeah, my friends play it to the exclusion of life, and when they aren't playing it they are talking about it, which is why I haven't allowed them talk me into joining their clan.
@moondrake So at first I was playing a lot to move up and get into the clan and not be so far behind everyone. Now I only check it a couple times a day and occasionally spend a couple hours going on raids. It's easy to be casual about it. C'mon, join. You know you want to.
@bluedyn I suddenly feel even more unworthy than sitting here wasting my time at the VA. Yay. Something to blow up that doesn't involve me running. Or jail. Invite to Wapiti I have a metric ass-ton of troops, and an embarrassing amount of time on my hands. (Not to be remotely confused with the metric shit-ton, that's wayyyy more)
when i started up this stupid game i thought it was stupid and wasn't going to play it for more than a minute, so i just mashed my finger on the smartphone when it came time to pick a name. dgfddv if I recall.
@marklog C'mon, man. You're the hero of one of our little community's most important stories--arguably the most important. You're like Jesus or something. :-)
First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three.
So I restarted about 3 times last night, maybe 4. One of my do-overs was just to swap out my name, but how DARE they allow so few characters? How can I play a period game with such limited options? When I found out I couldn't be Titanius Anglesmith, Fancy Man of Cornwood, I was ready to take my ball and go home. But I soldiered on.
My husband made me join the clan he created. If I changed clans on him he will become a big meh-baby and nag me about it. Make me an offer I can't refuse and I will join your ranks and make my husband a whiny meh-baby with great pleasure.
@MEHcus I'll be joining as soon as my clan war is over with. I'm in line to get about 2,000 dark elixir from a rare win and need to collect. Expect me later tonight.
I'm mph65 in the clan for those that didn't know.....
So.... we are about to war yet again and rather than fill the chat with tips and tricks I thought I'd post here with a couple suggestions for the newer folks.
The 24 hours before the war begins is the one time you can 'edit' your war base. This is so you can have a defensive set up for 'war' and a 'farming' set up for regular day to day play (where you don't really care if your TH gets demolished). So if your regular setup looks the same as your 'war' set up you might consider editing your war base today. Move your TH and CC to the center of your map - protect them as much as you can so that the enemy can't '3 star' you. By moving your CC to the middle of the map it is much harder for the enemy to lure out your CC troops (the lvl 5 wizards I just put in everyone's cc).
Thats the #1 thing we can do at the moment to improve and get our first war win - that and EVERYONE use both of their attacks.
Other thoughts - Make sure not to attack too far below your own level because you will be taking away easier targets from your clanmates. If an enemy has been '2 starred' then the best you can do it earn us one more star by '3 starring' them - that might be a lot of work.
I suggest brewing at least one lighting spell (if you have spells) and luring out the enemies CC troops - then zapping them with that spell - hopefully taking out a few of them - you have three minutes to attack - take your time.
One other general hit - DONATE - some day you may want to spread your wings and join another clan - they will look to see how much you have donated - if the number is low they may not want you. CoC keeps records of how many troops you have ever donated and your donations also help you increase your level (not cup level - experience level - the blue star/bar). Donate archers unless you have really good troops - most people in most clans will never complain if you donate archers.
@ilovereality I'm always happy to donate, but I feel lame donating my 3-star archers. Are you saying I should give them anyway? Even though they're mediocre troops?
@bluedyn I will take anything ya got - it helps you improve your experience - I think most everyone else in the clan is fine with whatever level archers they get as well.
@ilovereality Well okay then. Archers for everyone! I always donate when someone is the same level or below me. It's just the people above (much of the clan) that I've been hesitant with.
@hollboll So, as I contemplate this, is it worthwhile for me to do it half-assedly, maybe checking in once a day or some pathetic shit like that? Because I'm marginally interested, but I'm not sure I'm that interested.
@hollboll And I'm so fucking confused. Where are settings? I'm logged in under my Game Center account I guess, but how do I set my name and ask to join the clan and whatever the fuck else. So confused.
@joelmw You have to rebuild the clan castle first. Takes a couple/few days of playing to reach the level where you can join a clan. We have a good time there, and you can visit infrequently. We have a few people still in the clan who I think bailed completely, so no harm in a half-ass member.
@joelmw Yeah, no issues if you are a casual player. However, if we lose a clan battle by 1 star, and you haven't used your attacks, I will shame you for life.
Looking to get back in. Sent my message. I was a strong contributor and after going to help an old clan in a bind I found that I wasn't needed and I want you to take meh back!!
@mediobarkrehttp://forum.supercell.net/showthread.php/675347-What-s-the-best-3-star-attack-for-th8-vs-th8-Gowipe-mass-hogs-or-mass-dragons suggests that GoWiPe is only a guaranteed 2 star attack. I tried a hog just now and probably didn't 3 star because of misplaced heal spells. If I had put the heal spell at the giant bomb, I could have saved half a dozen hogs from death. I think the point is it depends on the enemy's base design. No obvious spots for double giant bombs and lots of compartments, use hogs. ADs are too far apart or too close together, use drags. Large open pockets, use GoWiPe.
@Odi thanks for the link. It's definitely worth checking out and looking into the strategy. In my limited experience with GoWiPe, I feel that I can 2 star most TH8 bases. I'd be much more uncertain of this with hogs. I've seen too many hog attacks blow up at the start due to giant bombs. But, of course, practice would likely help... Worth looking into as a hog attack may have a higher ceiling.
@mediobarkre@Odi We really do need a messaging platform for CoC--one that allows us to bookmark this stuff and get to it quickly. And have focused strategy discussions that are private (which this isn't really) and persistent.
Calling all current clan members... We plan to start a war tomorrow night (Sunday 8/23) around 10pm Central time. This will put Battle Day Monday night into Tuesday.
We currently have 24 members opted into war, but would like see that number grow to 30, 35, 40 or more. If you haven't warred in a while, please come back and give it a go. Your clan misses you! If you do opt in, please use both attacks.
We will also be looking at starting a war around noon central on Thursday (8/27), come war then if it's a better time for you!
@mediobarkre I just wanted to put out there that I intentionally did not join this war. I will be unavailable to war today/tomorrow. I will opt-in for the next battle royal on Thursday.
@marklog Not a scam- you can sell accounts to anything (but generally you're screwed if the buyer doesn't come through with the money, and certain vendors REALLY hate it, and will happily ban you if they find out).
According to Supercell, 1 gem resource boosts should be next week. If you haven't played in a while, it might be a good time to come back and check in on all the changes Supercell has made.
If you'd like to join us, please mention Meh in your request.
@mediobarkre Thanks for thinking of us, chief. I'd really like to give it another shot. If I don't within the next few days, it's unlikely that I will. And you're more than justified to boot me already (though I'm kinda glad you haven't yet).
We are in the middle of a war right now. It will end around 11pm (Central) tonight. I'll open the clan up after it ends tonight and post back here that it is open. I'll leave it open tomorrow so you can join us.
@Kevin its kinda real. but be careful, or you will end up spending your hard earned savings that you were planning on spending on a speaker dock and roomba from Meh on wall upgrades
@Kevin Define your terms. From the outside, it looks just like Hay Day , if when you went to visit other people's farms you could burn down their house take their chickens.
@moondrake@Kevin@bluedyn True story: I met my wife in Farmtown (not Farmville; that motherfucker's all commercial and shit). It's an awesome thing. Not Farmtown--it's just some lame old computer game--but the culmination of absurd improbabilities that led to my connecting with the woman of my dreams across the vast distance of the interwebs. Needless to say, I believe in computers, the Internet and social media. But farming games feel too much like a singles bar (not that that's how or why either of us was there in the first place; it's just this weird thing that happened).
@joelmw After our convo in clan chat, here's my sap story: I met my wife on ICQ, she had a 7 digit UIN that was less than mine. Our opening convo was me asking if she liked country music, and her response was her best friend did, but she hated it. We didn't chat for months, until she sent out a clearing out contact list warning, at which point we started chatting again. Being 500 miles apart, we merely chatted online during high school, finally meeting in person when she moved to a college 100 miles away. It became a normal relationship at that point, except I proposed to her in-game in Star Wars Galaxies. I typed to her in-game to marry me, she typed no...not on this server, like I had anticipated, and so I typed what about in real life, stood up from my computer, and knelt beside her on her computer, fishing the ring from a hiding spot in her desk.
So, apparently I need 40,000 coins to upgrade some clan tower thingy to be able to join a clan. It will be a while ( i think?) before I can join any clan.
@lichme But it is worthwhile spending them on builders? I'd been wondering, actually wanting to do that before seeing this comment. I won't regret losing those rare gems?
Supposedly, the new update for the Holiday Season will be happening tomorrow. HERE is a link to a good site that describes all of the things....
OF NOTE: Collectors to level 12 Giants to level 7 Archer towers increase attack speed but lower damage Camps significantly reduced HP TH 7--gets a dark elixir drill TH 8--gets a second dark elixir drill Walls can only be upgraded with elixir for level 9 and above. Holiday trees will pop up with presents (5,000 elixir each present)
So here's that list of names: a mediocre clan of meh users. I haven't made it universally editable, but I've no problem opening it up if anyone wants to augment the pathetic piece of shit. Just request and indicate your meh user name, so I have some idea who you are.
Note that there's a column for "certainty." 10 means the mediocre individual has stepped up and claimed ownership. 8 is a one-to-one correspondence (sometimes ignoring case--which I've tried to duplicate, but can't always be sure of because of that goofy-ass CoC font). 6 is my educated guess.
There are other things we could might track, if anyone gets ambitious or has too much spare time or just has a sick fascination that they'd like to indulge. Of course if we get too fancy, we might want to lock it down. Because espionage and shit.
But my goal at this point is just knowing who's who.
@mediobarkre Got ya. Thanks! Sorry for the miss. In my defense, I did promise to be half-assed about this. I want you to know that I'm a man of my word. I know there are others that I've missed that I shouldn't have. Everyone speak up.
@Alien88 Good idea. Is this your way of saying that you'll be on vacation from 2/7-2/16? In the meantime I sampled one of your comments from last night.
@Moose Obviously I could have. I promised to do this poorly, if you'll recall. Someone else could have done it. Someone else could still do it. My shitty effort may in fact just be a ploy to get you to do it.
As a matter of fact, it turns out that excessively capacious rating systems are a problem I have. Just this week I was looking at a spreadsheet I created with four different rating columns, each ranging to 100--and I typically use 5-10 of the possibilities. At least one of them also includes negative values. Count yourself lucky.
On the other hand, it leaves room for internal growth without having to rework the whole scheme. I didn't want to sit down and figure the whole damned thing out before I did it. And, again, I remind you: half-assed.
@hollboll So I didn't catch when theterminator was added. It doesn't really matter, I suppose, but I've got Gagithegreat and @baseba4551 on 2/11. I'll just put the same date.
@hollboll For when you guys open up some spots, I sent in a request to join...Only 1 day in right now with 2 days left on the newbie bubble, so no hurry on accepting me. I used to play "Battle Pirates" on FB back in 2011 which seems very similar to this game. I mostly lost interest in BP when they allowed players to move "sectors" and the alliances I played with fractured all over the place.
If anyone is interested, here's a new CoC upgrade spreadsheet. Note: It isn't quite finished yet. I know that I need to add upgrade time for Heroes still.
I've locked it down so it isn't editable, but feel free to make a copy and play around. You will need to enter the quantity of each building or troop you want to upgrade on the appropriate tab. Any changes should then be displayed on the "My Town Hall" tab.
Let me know if you see any mistakes or have any questions.
Hey, mediocre clan, we still have folks on the rolls who aren't using their attacks when we go to war. If you're not available to participate in a clan war, please opt out. It's this little green button that says Clan Wars on the left in the upper section of your profile. The default is in. Opting out will make it turn red. You can opt back in when you are available. Thanks!
Note: you need to opt out before war is started (even before "preparation day").
@DaveInSoCal You read my mind DISC... Was on my way here to bump this...
Clan: Please go for stars! Go low, if you need to to assure us 3 stars. We have a lot of high level attacks left, so if you're not in the top 5 or so, please look at 10 or below. Please check the chat & see if we are coordinating any strategy on whom to hit.
So, I haven't read up on everything, but I know that part of why I gave up earlier is that I was getting nowhere on dark elixir that I needed for research. I'm not sure exactly what it is (it's more than just gemming the de mines), I've been able to pick up 50,000 in just a couple of weeks and I really haven't been raiding that much. It just seems like there's more de available and I'm more successful getting it. So, go Supercell.
And maybe that should be encouragement to @studerc and others thinking of coming back (or joining up). I think they've made the game better and less frustrating to play.
@joelmw Right now I'm a th9 and have every builder busy (5), max E, 5M (or 6M?) G, and a little over 45K de. I've been raiding exclusively archers and goblins, using the occasional jump or heal spell. There are definitely fewer bases to raid, but it hasn't significantly slowed me down.
I'd suggest people who are having trouble should either get as many trophies as they can or dump as many as they can. There seems to be more booty at the extremes.
I'm still forming my opinion on the update. There are definitely things that I like, such as being able to attack without completely breaking my shield (and therefore being able to safely train a new army). I've also found that the update hasn't changed my raiding strategy too much, so long as my heroes aren't down. I also don't have to continually monitor my phone to make sure that I stay on-line to avoid being attacked. That's been a very nice add.
The biggest thing that I'm concerned about is the economy. It seems to me that overall loot has dried up a bit. It's hard to gauge this yet though, as I think there was probably a massive influx of players after the update and now we have gem boosted barracks. It does seem that you can find 1 type of loot at a time though. If you're only searching for 1 of gold, elixir, or dark elixir, you'll likely be OK. Finding all 3, seems to take a lot of nexting or luck. I'm most concerned about elixir, but haven't been focusing on it too much. I've moved up to Masters and the league bonus there 110k/110k/560 does seem to help quite a bit, so long as you win. They have also reduced the amount of loot available for raiding a lower TH level (80% vs 90%, I think). This, combined with the perceived elixir shortage, has me rethinking my TH10 upgrade. I had been hoping to upgrade in about 3 weeks, but now, I think I'll stay at TH9 until either I have a good reason to go to TH10, I'm convinced that the TH10 economy is better than I'm hearing it is now, or I've maxed my TH9.
TL;DR attacking without breaking shield is good. Economy seems bad.
@mediobarkre Yeah, that's weird, because it seems like I've just been slurping up the DE. Seriously, I think I was hovering around 15k for a couple of months before--and that included a few strings of attacks. Now I seem to be able to find 2K bases pretty easily and I don't seem to lose as much when I'm hit. I think you might be right about the single-resource situation, but I'm cool with that; as long as I can get whichever resource I'm after, I'm happy.
I think I'll stick with the plan of doing all of my upgrades and available research before moving up to TH 9. I think it's just got valks and poison after the golems finish; that and about half of my walls. All of my buildings, defenses, BK are maxed. And then I'll probably try to head into the TH upgrade with G and E maxed, DE at least half full.
@DaveInSoCal I'd fallen to Silver III while I was away. I've casually (again, without trying much; I'm just focused on grabbing DE, which, admittedly, usually puts me into the heart of a village and 50% and/or the TH) crawled up to Gold III. At least half of that has been trophies picked up from defense. That hardly happened before.
To anyone looking to join us, we've switched our clan status to Closed. This means you won't be able to request an invitation within the game. Please post here and we'll open the clan up so you can join.
@baseba4551 Indeed, however we are fairly new to the war scene. We've won more wars than we've lost, and a few of the losses have been by a slim margin.
I mentioned in the CoC chat that I had a spreadsheet setup to plan my TH 8 upgrade. @joelmw indicated interest in seeing it, so here is a Google Doc version...
Notice that there are 2 tabs. One is for resource planning and the other takes those numbers and plans the builder schedule.
@mediobarkre regarding attack cost, i have a much simpler method. I look at how much elixir I have, train troops, look at the difference in elixir, and make sure that i attack someone with far more elixir than i just spent.
@marklog I usually have my troops in a constant queue when I'm attacking, so it isn't always easy to see the exact amount that I use. The spreadsheet gives me the definitive amount for what my normal load-out costs and I keep that in mind when I look for a village to attack. I also use it to see what theoretical load-outs would cost and have also used it to show my son why he wasn't getting anywhere elixir wise on his attacks.
@marklog Some people (@mehcus) don't like playing on the weekend, plus I need some time to save up some DE, you guys bleed me of my hogs during war and I just started a hero upgrade so I don't have much. ;)
@hollboll I used 55k DE on my archer queen upgrade - had built it back up to 12k and just blew through 7k DE filling up war CC's with Valks and couple Witches
Since this has already been bumped up, I want to let y'all know that I've been having a heck of a time with Google docs at work (basically it only sometimes lets me edit)--and that's mostly where I update the spreadsheet. I don't know if anyone else even looks at it lately, but if you do and are wondering why it's so far behind, that's part of it. Also, I've had to do a lot of work at work lately. What the fuck, huh?
Rest assured, I'm capturing the information that I've been maintaining elsewhere and I'll get around to updating it in the official spreadsheet somehow sometime somewhere.
It's indicative of my current status that there are messages in this thread back to August that I hadn't read. But I think I only missed one attack. Many of my attacks were horrible, worthless, but still . . .
CLAN: We are off to a good start in our current war. Please use your attacks! PLEASE check into chat before attacking and see if we have a plan in place. Otherwise, please cleanup low stars. War ends just after noon central. GO CLAN!
We currently have a lot of inactive members in the clan. I’m going to clean up a few of these at the end of the current Clash Of Clans season (about 2 weeks from now).
If you’d like to ensure you remain in the clan, please make sure to do at least 1 of the following in the next 2 weeks.
Attack a village and get level based shield assigned to your account. (silver, gold, crystal, masters, etc.)
Join us in war and use both of your attacks.
Request troops.
Donate troops.
Stop by in chat and let us know you’d like to stay. (make sure I acknowledge your message)
I will likely leave a few inactive bases in the clan, just to give us some wiggle room for war match making. I will start the cleanup with inactive members that are opted in for war and then go to higher level town halls.
Anyone kicked from the clan for not doing 1 of the above is welcome to rejoin, if/when they decide to play again.
If you have any questions about this, please stop by and ask in clan chat or ping me here.
REMINDER: Clan membership clean-up will start on Thursday, 11/3. Please do at least 1 of the 5 steps above if you’d like to ensure that you stay in the clan.
Supercell has released a major update to Clash of Clans. You can now start over! Well, kind of…
If you are TH 4 or higher, there is a boat on your map that will take you to a “new land”. There, you can repair a builder’s hut and upgrade new defenses and troops and battle 1 on 1 for a winner-takes-all loot bonus.
If you’d like to check out the update, please ping us here and we’ll open the clan up.
Our Info:
Name: A Mediocre Clan
Clan Tag: #98C8RR08
Shield:
@hollboll@jont Am I going to enjoy the game if I refuse to spend money on it? I played Candy Crush for a while, but it gets stupidly hard and luck-based quickly.
@dashcloud I'm just starting up so I can't say from personal experience but the long time players in the office say they haven't spent any money after months of playing. It's one of those "this thing will take 2 hours to finish but if you want to pay $1 you can finish it now" type games so if you just check in periodically you should be okay.
I've thought of playing, but I take mediocrity to a whole new level with games like these- will the game run itself once I set it up and get started? If not, what's the minimum amount of time I need to spend? (To give you an idea, I spend 20 minutes or so on Facebook 2-3 times a month, and sometimes don't login at all on a month).
@hippiechik do you have your old phone still? I believe you can link your devices now - but I will look and see. I have moved clans from droid to droid and ios device to ios device - but not between the two (CoC originally was only for iOS) (this is mph65 btw)
@Alien88@studerc The sick thing is that I'm probably going to do this if no one else does. And I know I shouldn't have just said that, because now whoever else might of will figure they don't need to. Just know that it will be extremely half-assed and probably take me months to complete--and even then, be full of errors.
@EthanP Did you try to rejoin? DId you use Meh in the request? Is the clan full? I've never seen them refuse a 'meh' request so I'm guessing you haven't re-asked.
@JonT I just reapplied again in case my message above was lost. Now out of newbie bubble and don't quite find these riches of 50k raids that are posted in various online guides.
@DaveInSoCal Indeed, I hope our leaders light a fire under the butt of any mediocrite who doesn't use their attacks by the end of the war today (about 13:00 CST).
@jaybird I like http://www.clashofclansguidehq.com/ because there is a decent base layout with explanation and how to farm cheaply with barbarians. Before there was room in the meh clan, I joined "req n leave" clans to request reinforcements for my clan castle, then once it is filled, leave (otherwise they kick you). Those clans let you join as soon as you press join. Clan makes no difference really when farming for resources. Invite only still means you have to press join, then one of the admins needs to accept or deny it. It's a poor wording for it. Joining a clan is all about the wars and banter, farming is still solo. So an overflow clan doesn't really work since you don't get the wars and banter. Subscribing to this thread is probably the best bet to seeing when they kick out some inactives.
@jaybird saw you applied waiting for a free spot. Just fyi I did the same thing, but the system is dumb and your application will scroll off the chat window after a day or two
@Odi so what you're saying is I have to reapply every couple of days so it can be seen often? Kinda like the guy you'll never hire but you also can't say no to because he has a disability so you just let him keep calling to see if he got the job, every day, for months on end, until he gives up because someone finally tells him he's a fat slob and uncoordinated and there's no way anyone would ever hire him as a goatherder? Like that?
@jaybird You could...but it will just keep getting buried. If you think you're lucky, then you could repeatedly check in game to see if there's a free spot, but I haven't seen one in a week or more. If you're lazy, then you could just subscribe to this topic and see if they post about kicking out some inactives.
I requested to join a while ago. I've been playing for a couple weeks now. I'll send another request in hopes of getting one of the elusive future spots. The only thing that I don't like about CoC in comparison to others that I've played is that you lose all the troops you use whether they die or not. I really don't understand why they have it set up like that. With the other games of this type that I've played, you only lose them if they get killed.
@PurplePawprints The way requests show up in chat makes it disappear once too old. So there's no way to accept once there's room. For the losing deployed troops, I thought I was going to hate it too, but I think it's important to keep the game balanced. In a similar game I've played, you could just go around steamrolling with really powerful expensive units, requiring a level limit that you can't hit below. Since there is no level limit here, this prevents someone with expensive units from just picking on small guys
@PurplePawprints I agree with @Odi that it creates more parity. In a sense, since everyone else "loses" troops when they're sent to battle, you're not losing anything, relatively speaking. Also, it makes sense to me from the perspective that you'd have to somehow maintain those troops (house, clothe, feed, train, etc.)--indeed, they use the term "train" to describe what's being done in the barracks. It's not that you're actually generating new troops, you're just preparing them for battle.
@aaronhurt You're talking to the guy who mostly uses his name and middle and last initials everywhere. So, yeah, I approve. :-) Thanks for the confirmation.
I've been working for a while now to become worthy of the Clan. Up to 763 trophies, and wanted to request membership again. I can't find you now, unfortunately. Anyone have a spot for me? My COC name is Ramtha
We do have 2 empty spots in the clan and 2 pending requests asking for acceptance. Wonder if that is holding things up... @ChadP & @Hollboll see Relicto & trixert requests from about a day ago.
@connorbush Are you MilkyPleasures? A bunch joined around the same time and I can't remember which you were, but you should really participate in the wars if that's you. That, or set yourself as 'out' if you can't use your attacks right now.
@NigelF Were you Foosh? If so, you didn't say Meh. Please request again and mention Meh. I'll accept you this time. Probably, unless I forget or fat finger or just like tormenting you... :)
@mediobarkre Im working today. My CC was empty this morning, and apparently i was the only early bird. Hopefully someone gave me one more dragon so i can go pillage and destroy....
We’re still plugging away with our 2 wars per week, but could really use some new members to join in. We’re going to start actively recruiting, so if you’d like join our clan before we bring in some non-Meh folk, please drop us a note here.
We’re looking for people who will frequently participate in war (declared on Thursday and Sunday) and and would prefer Town Hall levels 7 - 10. Wars aren’t mandatory, but we will ask that you either use both attacks or opt out of war.
Clanmates - A 3x Clan XP event will be starting on Saturday. We plan on running war continuously during the event. To maximize our profit of the event, we’d like to run larger wars. A loss during the event is worth more than a normal win, please join us!
Clash of Clans is one of the games I’ve continued to find amusing. Supercell keeps having events that include discounts for certain troops–an opportunity not only to learn new tactics, but to pick up some extra resources (since the troops are cheaper, it’s easier to rack up better net gains). We’re a pretty mediocre group. Join us, damnit.
[edit @mediobarkre - meant this as an answer to you, must have not tapped the reply button.]
Very nice. Keep up the war, all of you!
I’ve not been enjoying the match making as of late. Way too many perfect-war ties, and way too many matches with clans that have one very engineered village as their #9 or #12 that clears our #1 with ease.
We’re still alive and well… Our clan is currently at max capacity, so I’m going to be doing some cleanup after the current round of Clan Games is over. If I can’t tell that you’ve played, you’re fodder for the boot.
If anyone would like to join (or rejoin) us, please message us here. We’re fairly laid back and very willing to help you learn. Our main ask is that you be active by either donating troops or helping out in Clan Wars or Clan Games.
Hi guys… I didn’t know this was a thing. I play Clash of Kings myself but I’m curious how you guys like your game. It’s quite addicting and time consuming I find.
@Amila99 Our clan is about a month short of 4 years old. There are only a handful of us left that are from here. Those of us that are, are addicted to the game. I’ve never played Clash of Kings (too involved with Clash of Clans & Clash Royale (also A Mediocre Clan)), so I don’t know the differences, but I’m guessing they are similar.
There have been many good changes to CoC lately that have improved the game play. They’ve introduced some new and different concepts (siege machines, magic items, & TH12), lowered upgrade costs and times, and improved your ability to actually use the heroes you’ve spent so much time & resources upgrading. I feel like the game is much more fun to play now, than it was a couple of years ago.
@reclaimercube I sent you a friend request, but can’t invite you since you’re in a clan. If you’d like to join, please look us up. A Mediocre Clan, #98C8RR08
@reclaimercube It was just serendipitous that I saw your post. But as a leader in such a strong, vital movement you must understand you now have a public following.
If I agree to join, will this consume all my spare time and perhaps endanger all of my personal relationships and productivity at work? Because I feel like the Meh forum already does that.
@bluedyn You better believe it
@MEHcus @hollboll I got the app. Just started. All consuming activities are my jam, so it shouldn't be too long till I can join the clan.
@bluedyn yesssss
@bluedyn Yeah, my friends play it to the exclusion of life, and when they aren't playing it they are talking about it, which is why I haven't allowed them talk me into joining their clan.
@moondrake So at first I was playing a lot to move up and get into the clan and not be so far behind everyone. Now I only check it a couple times a day and occasionally spend a couple hours going on raids. It's easy to be casual about it. C'mon, join. You know you want to.
@bluedyn I suddenly feel even more unworthy than sitting here wasting my time at the VA. Yay. Something to blow up that doesn't involve me running. Or jail. Invite to Wapiti I have a metric ass-ton of troops, and an embarrassing amount of time on my hands. (Not to be remotely confused with the metric shit-ton, that's wayyyy more)
You should totally come and join with us. Since our first win, we're undefeated.
VICTORY!
Thanks to all who participated. It was good to have slightly larger war. We'll be declaring war again on Thursday morning. Please join us!
@mediobarkre sorry I didn't use my attacks. Just super busy at work and when i got home I crashed! I'll try to do better. Meh!
@hippiechik No worries... It happens.
Now, if we'd lost by a single star or something that might be different though. ;)
@mediobarkre also, don't forget to thank @chadp, @jont, @hollboll for giving us the wake up call we needed by peacing out of the clan.
@marklog Congrats! You did it! Now delete the game! Live your life! :)
@marklog oh are we winning wars now?
@hollboll yes, you can come back.
@mediobarkre I just realized.. that was maxed out XP as well!
@ChadP What are you doing with all your new free time?
when i started up this stupid game i thought it was stupid and wasn't going to play it for more than a minute, so i just mashed my finger on the smartphone when it came time to pick a name. dgfddv if I recall.
Now i'm building my Level 7 Town Hall damnit...
@marklog That's awesome.
Clan Message Suggestion:
If you can go by the law set up top, are a pal to Irk, and yen to be so-so, we are the kin set for you!
@mediobarkre i love this
A small change that sounds better to me: If you are not apt to try in war, set thy way to be as out.
@mediobarkre I'm with @DaveInSoCal. And I like the change. I think there needs to be some homage to @marklog though.
@joelmw wait, what? no thank you.
@mediobarkre "sit yo' ass out"
@marklog C'mon, man. You're the hero of one of our little community's most important stories--arguably the most important. You're like Jesus or something. :-)
@joelmw I'm confident that Jesus reached out to people in a different though equally personal way.
@marklog Speaking of Jesus, your reluctance somehow reminds me of this (especially 4:40 and 5:16).
@joelmw Honored to be mentioned in the same breath as Sam... oh, and Jesus.
Simplified #2: Let thy top kin put the war set in CCs. (CCs could be den or hut).
@mediobarkre I'd been thinking "hut."
@marklog I like hollboll's idea of hhrgggffdddfddddrfhht!! better...
@marklog You deserve it... or something.
First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three.
So I restarted about 3 times last night, maybe 4. One of my do-overs was just to swap out my name, but how DARE they allow so few characters? How can I play a period game with such limited options? When I found out I couldn't be Titanius Anglesmith, Fancy Man of Cornwood, I was ready to take my ball and go home. But I soldiered on.
I've been playing this longer than I like to admit. And in true cheapskate fashion, I've yet to spend a dime on in-app purchases. I'm at lvl 124.
If I wasn't in a committed relationship with my existing clan, I'd join. Unless, of course, there are meh perks involved...
My husband made me join the clan he created. If I changed clans on him he will become a big meh-baby and nag me about it. Make me an offer I can't refuse and I will join your ranks and make my husband a whiny meh-baby with great pleasure.
@Ayer87 Just make him leave his clan too, everybody wins!
Request sent, although I'm a newb and only started playing because of this post.
@lichme added!
@lichme Do better immediately
@MEHcus I pulled up a bush. Does that count?
@lichme Yea nobody wants a bunch of bushes laying around
@MEHcus
@lichme Aw, but the bushes are so festive right now. All skulls and pumpkins. Halloween hater!!!
This is me bumping this topic to the top to recruit some more of you suckers into our clan.
@MEHcus Soon....
@studerc Be sure to recruit your fellow exgoats
@MEHcus oh man. I stopped playing when clan wars came out because my clan disappeared. this would be a good excuse to start playing again...
@Alien88 you're welcome
@MEHcus well done
@ChadP Go away unless you join our clan
Any other Mehricans out there care to join? (aka bumping this to the top)
@MEHcus We need more people for clan wars!
@JonT And more people lower than me in the clan leaderboard!
More people to give and receive troops with. That's the nice inviting thing I meant to say. Please join.
@MEHcus I'll be joining as soon as my clan war is over with. I'm in line to get about 2,000 dark elixir from a rare win and need to collect. Expect me later tonight.
I'm mph65 in the clan for those that didn't know.....
So.... we are about to war yet again and rather than fill the chat with tips and tricks I thought I'd post here with a couple suggestions for the newer folks.
The 24 hours before the war begins is the one time you can 'edit' your war base. This is so you can have a defensive set up for 'war' and a 'farming' set up for regular day to day play (where you don't really care if your TH gets demolished). So if your regular setup looks the same as your 'war' set up you might consider editing your war base today. Move your TH and CC to the center of your map - protect them as much as you can so that the enemy can't '3 star' you. By moving your CC to the middle of the map it is much harder for the enemy to lure out your CC troops (the lvl 5 wizards I just put in everyone's cc).
Thats the #1 thing we can do at the moment to improve and get our first war win - that and EVERYONE use both of their attacks.
Other thoughts - Make sure not to attack too far below your own level because you will be taking away easier targets from your clanmates. If an enemy has been '2 starred' then the best you can do it earn us one more star by '3 starring' them - that might be a lot of work.
I suggest brewing at least one lighting spell (if you have spells) and luring out the enemies CC troops - then zapping them with that spell - hopefully taking out a few of them - you have three minutes to attack - take your time.
One other general hit - DONATE - some day you may want to spread your wings and join another clan - they will look to see how much you have donated - if the number is low they may not want you. CoC keeps records of how many troops you have ever donated and your donations also help you increase your level (not cup level - experience level - the blue star/bar). Donate archers unless you have really good troops - most people in most clans will never complain if you donate archers.
/end-coc-babbling
@ilovereality I'm always happy to donate, but I feel lame donating my 3-star archers. Are you saying I should give them anyway? Even though they're mediocre troops?
@bluedyn I will take anything ya got - it helps you improve your experience - I think most everyone else in the clan is fine with whatever level archers they get as well.
@ilovereality Well okay then. Archers for everyone!
I always donate when someone is the same level or below me. It's just the people above (much of the clan) that I've been hesitant with.
Just drove by this today and thought of CoC
@Odi that level 2 tesla is in need of an upgrade.
BUMP.
We currently have 4 open spots. If you'll be active in 2 wars per week, please check us out. Don't forget to mention Meh in your join request.
Oh why oh why.
downloading it again now..
@nathanK Are you CoC Nathan?
@joelmw I am!
@hollboll So, as I contemplate this, is it worthwhile for me to do it half-assedly, maybe checking in once a day or some pathetic shit like that? Because I'm marginally interested, but I'm not sure I'm that interested.
@hollboll And I'm so fucking confused. Where are settings? I'm logged in under my Game Center account I guess, but how do I set my name and ask to join the clan and whatever the fuck else. So confused.
@joelmw You have to rebuild the clan castle first. Takes a couple/few days of playing to reach the level where you can join a clan. We have a good time there, and you can visit infrequently. We have a few people still in the clan who I think bailed completely, so no harm in a half-ass member.
@bluedyn Awesome. Thanks. And, whew, I was able to grab my name. The game play isn't totally horrid.
@joelmw So it's only moderately horrid? That's a shame.
@bluedyn If it helps, I'm kinda confused again. +1 horrid. Still only moderate horridness though.
@joelmw we have a mediocre amount of fun. @harrison just joined too.
@joelmw Yeah, no issues if you are a casual player. However, if we lose a clan battle by 1 star, and you haven't used your attacks, I will shame you for life.
@lichme If I figure out what that means, I promise to try not to do it.
Beware, @hollboll wouldn't accept God.
@marklog
@marklog @hollboll @JonT I'm of the opinion that God hates it when we kowtow. So I think God approves. If not, fuckit: I approve.
Looking to get back in. Sent my message. I was a strong contributor and after going to help an old clan in a bind I found that I wasn't needed and I want you to take meh back!!
Really though, I do want back in guys! @JonT, @hollboll can we make this happen? New clan update and I wanna be a part of the fun!
We've been talking about GoWiPe in the chat a bit lately. Here's a beginner's guide to GoWiPe, if anyone is interested.
@mediobarkre incredibly helpful, thanks! I'll have Pekkas soon and getting golems next so will be using gowipe in the next week or so.
@DaveInSoCal Good Luck!
@mediobarkre http://forum.supercell.net/showthread.php/675347-What-s-the-best-3-star-attack-for-th8-vs-th8-Gowipe-mass-hogs-or-mass-dragons suggests that GoWiPe is only a guaranteed 2 star attack. I tried a hog just now and probably didn't 3 star because of misplaced heal spells. If I had put the heal spell at the giant bomb, I could have saved half a dozen hogs from death. I think the point is it depends on the enemy's base design. No obvious spots for double giant bombs and lots of compartments, use hogs. ADs are too far apart or too close together, use drags. Large open pockets, use GoWiPe.
@Odi thanks for the link. It's definitely worth checking out and looking into the strategy. In my limited experience with GoWiPe, I feel that I can 2 star most TH8 bases. I'd be much more uncertain of this with hogs. I've seen too many hog attacks blow up at the start due to giant bombs. But, of course, practice would likely help... Worth looking into as a hog attack may have a higher ceiling.
@mediobarkre @Odi Somehow I missed these (and was too lazy to search). I'll have to start practicing my GoWiPe.
@mediobarkre @Odi We really do need a messaging platform for CoC--one that allows us to bookmark this stuff and get to it quickly. And have focused strategy discussions that are private (which this isn't really) and persistent.
@joelmw https://www.hipchat.com/gSS9AsavA
We can use this for discussion, storing bookmarks and stuff though will be better with etherpad or even just a google docs
@Odi coc.horse
@marklog That might even get some new traffic into the clan!
@marklog @mediobarkre i suppose that's better than horse.coc.
@Odi When you log in it says "welcome to the COC room."
@DaveInSoCal I wonder if more people would join if we advertise we would post coc pics
@Odi If people want to create an account directly without requesting, https://verymeh.hipchat.com/invite/421957/4a6e71b46c0dd2387a43fcdc36f9b9dc
@Odi https://chat.zoho.com/guest.sas?k=ca0a360727e1cbe64d541aab568ad8d418831c0b06222f079ca05f5c391f5fa855fc315955d9b94695c836c4ab5cfbdd4d5e10d512ef06767a7dfc16c1e323c8ee43d4f20f33921f472ff7371fd545a1ba66e9a7991951b6cce0007c111f46334af1ee0daa8921f8c4556f53b4cdce84
Apparently hipchat doesn't let guests see history, making it practically useless. Zoho does.
@Odi we could Slack. This way we are integrated with the FF league making only one app for chatters in both.
@marklog guest access is only available with paid slack, which was one major concern. hmm where do you get the invite for slack for the ff league?
@mehcus, wake up and support your clan!
@MEHcus or you won't get your participation medal! :)
Holy crap! @hollboll, @mehcus, @chadp why are you all abandoning us?
@DaveInSoCal I didn't leave...you'll have to ask those other guys whats up.
@MEHcus Would you be open to having some non-Meh employee co-leaders? Right now, you're really the only one that can declare war.
@mehcus I vote for @mediobarkre.
@marklog Ha! It doesn't need to me. I just think we need at least 1 or 2 more active people as leaders.
@mediobarkre You're active and you're higher up than the other regulars--and a fucking god with the donations.
@MEHcus That was a test. You passed. Good job...
I'll show myself out now...
@joelmw @mediobarkre. Seconded. Also @odi is a great donator.
@DaveInSoCal Yeah, I was going to suggest @Odi too. Plus I think he does the research and is always there with great advice.
That gagithegreat person is pretty awesome too, but has been horrible in war lately! :)
@DaveInSoCal @joelmw I will strive to hit the reject button quickly! That's about all I will commit to ;)
@DaveInSoCal hmm suspect.
Calling all current clan members... We plan to start a war tomorrow night (Sunday 8/23) around 10pm Central time. This will put Battle Day Monday night into Tuesday.
We currently have 24 members opted into war, but would like see that number grow to 30, 35, 40 or more. If you haven't warred in a while, please come back and give it a go. Your clan misses you! If you do opt in, please use both attacks.
We will also be looking at starting a war around noon central on Thursday (8/27), come war then if it's a better time for you!
@ILoveReality, @connorbush, @alien88, @FallenShadow, @Harrison, @CopticFire, @juststephen, @QuantumCat, @FireOfAutumn, @Bogie, @Robert, @hippiechik, @F3lonyHova, @Katz, @Lichme, @Steimes, @Nexa
BUMP! War will be declared tonight about 10pm Central. Please join us if you can!
@mediobarkre I just wanted to put out there that I intentionally did not join this war. I will be unavailable to war today/tomorrow. I will opt-in for the next battle royal on Thursday.
@Bogie No problem. Thanks for checking in.
@Bogie old bogie or new bogie
@marklog New Bogie. Old bogie got sold. (What can I say, cash is king)
@Bogie Wait. Wait. You can sell clash accounts? For real people money?
@DaveInSoCal Sure. If you throw in a
Speaker DockiPad.@DaveInSoCal I sold my iPad to a friend, and he paid me some extra cash to take over my CoC account.
@Bogie This sounds like a scam. Or possibly scamola.
@marklog Not a scam- you can sell accounts to anything (but generally you're screwed if the buyer doesn't come through with the money, and certain vendors REALLY hate it, and will happily ban you if they find out).
BUMP! There's still time left in the current war, and we're winning, so now's your chance to not be a loser (someone who loses)!
We have about 8.5 hours left in battle. Please use your attacks! @joelmw, @HippieChik, @steimes, @Aaron, @SuperJimtendo, @KingKong, @ConnorBush, @Emma!
@mediobarkre need troops.
@connorbush done!
@DaveInSoCal 3 stars.
@mediobarkre thanks. really paid off. three stars.
and @alush
@connorbush great job!
VICTORY! We are officially on a winning streak. Great job clan!
Join us!
Next war will be declared around 10pm Central on Sunday night.
@mediobarkre and twice in a row with max clan xp
According to Supercell, 1 gem resource boosts should be next week. If you haven't played in a while, it might be a good time to come back and check in on all the changes Supercell has made.
If you'd like to join us, please mention Meh in your request.
Any old clan members feel like giving it another go? @chadp @hollboll @moose @jont @hart @studerc
To our currently inactive members: We only have 2 open spots left. If you'd like to stay in the clan, please check in with us in the Clan Chat. We'd love you to come back and war with us. If we need spots, we'll start booting people. Higher Town Hall levels will likely be the first to go. @daraeman @bogie @joelmw @harrison @ilovereality @copticfire @alien88 @juststephen @patthetuck @katz @lichme @foosh
@mediobarkre Thanks for thinking of us, chief. I'd really like to give it another shot. If I don't within the next few days, it's unlikely that I will. And you're more than justified to boot me already (though I'm kinda glad you haven't yet).
@joelmw I'm not looking to boot anyone. If we run out of space and need room, then we will need to.
Come back when you can. We're always glad to see you. Also, if you would, please set your war status to out until you're ready to join again.
Thanks & hope to see you soon!
@mediobarkre My daughter, Zhorah, is really enjoying playing with you guys. Thanks.
@sammydog01 Thanks Sammy! It's been fun watching her improve as she continues to play. She's also been active donating troops, which is great.
FYI... The resource boosts hit today!
Gagi, Please come back! @baseba4551
Id like to join the clan, ign is puppu. ;)
@mediobarkre We have a request.
@Kpuppu - Hi Kpuppu and welcome to Meh.com!
We are in the middle of a war right now. It will end around 11pm (Central) tonight. I'll open the clan up after it ends tonight and post back here that it is open. I'll leave it open tomorrow so you can join us.
@Kpuppu The clan is back on invite only. Please look us up and send a request. Please mention meh in the request.
I'm setting the clan back to closed. If anyone else would like to join, please ask here.
I wish this game had a feature to allow me to know when I joined.
@ChadP Are you CoC chad?
@joelmw ...what?
@ChadP @joelmw wants to know your Clash of Clans (CoC) name for his list of who's who
Is this an actual game, or one of those Farmville type games?
@Kevin its kinda real. but be careful, or you will end up spending your hard earned savings that you were planning on spending on a speaker dock and roomba from Meh on wall upgrades
@Kevin Define your terms. From the outside, it looks just like Hay Day , if when you went to visit other people's farms you could burn down their house take their chickens.
@moondrake I'd LOVE to steal poultry in this game. If there were some . . .
@moondrake @Kevin @bluedyn True story: I met my wife in Farmtown (not Farmville; that motherfucker's all commercial and shit). It's an awesome thing. Not Farmtown--it's just some lame old computer game--but the culmination of absurd improbabilities that led to my connecting with the woman of my dreams across the vast distance of the interwebs. Needless to say, I believe in computers, the Internet and social media. But farming games feel too much like a singles bar (not that that's how or why either of us was there in the first place; it's just this weird thing that happened).
@joelmw After our convo in clan chat, here's my sap story: I met my wife on ICQ, she had a 7 digit UIN that was less than mine. Our opening convo was me asking if she liked country music, and her response was her best friend did, but she hated it. We didn't chat for months, until she sent out a clearing out contact list warning, at which point we started chatting again. Being 500 miles apart, we merely chatted online during high school, finally meeting in person when she moved to a college 100 miles away. It became a normal relationship at that point, except I proposed to her in-game in Star Wars Galaxies. I typed to her in-game to marry me, she typed no...not on this server, like I had anticipated, and so I typed what about in real life, stood up from my computer, and knelt beside her on her computer, fishing the ring from a hiding spot in her desk.
I refuse to play.
A group of co-workers have their own clan and that is all they do at lunch, talk about clash this and clash that.
Sometimes it is entertaining because a project manager is in their clan and was demoted by one of the engineers on his project.
@hollboll I just requested to join the clan. There are a LOT of mediocre clans. Very apathetic time we're living in. :)
@bluedyn I heard @moose accepted you. :) We'll be the most mediocre of them all.
@hollboll I'm in! Thanks @moose. But I'm not excited. Honest.
No Clash of Clans on the Windows Phone. Meh.
So, apparently I need 40,000 coins to upgrade some clan tower thingy to be able to join a clan. It will be a while ( i think?) before I can join any clan.
@Bogie Doesn't take all that long, maybe a few days.
@Bogie Just depends on how dedicated you are......... ;)
@ilovereality @johnT Clan tower built and request to join sent. Not sure what I'm doing so any beginner advice is appreciated.
@Bogie Don't spend your gems on anything but builders for the time being.
@lichme But it is worthwhile spending them on builders? I'd been wondering, actually wanting to do that before seeing this comment. I won't regret losing those rare gems?
@joelmw Definately use them to get more builder huts. ... but not to complete builds faster.
Hello fellow clansmen/women,
Supposedly, the new update for the Holiday Season will be happening tomorrow. HERE is a link to a good site that describes all of the things....
OF NOTE:
Collectors to level 12
Giants to level 7
Archer towers increase attack speed but lower damage
Camps significantly reduced HP
TH 7--gets a dark elixir drill
TH 8--gets a second dark elixir drill
Walls can only be upgraded with elixir for level 9 and above.
Holiday trees will pop up with presents (5,000 elixir each present)
So here's that list of names: a mediocre clan of meh users. I haven't made it universally editable, but I've no problem opening it up if anyone wants to augment the pathetic piece of shit. Just request and indicate your meh user name, so I have some idea who you are.
Note that there's a column for "certainty." 10 means the mediocre individual has stepped up and claimed ownership. 8 is a one-to-one correspondence (sometimes ignoring case--which I've tried to duplicate, but can't always be sure of because of that goofy-ass CoC font). 6 is my educated guess.
There are other things we could might track, if anyone gets ambitious or has too much spare time or just has a sick fascination that they'd like to indulge. Of course if we get too fancy, we might want to lock it down. Because espionage and shit.
But my goal at this point is just knowing who's who.
[a mediocre clan of meh users][2]
@joelmw Well, damnit, ignore that last bit at the end. What the fuck?
Needless to say (but I'll say it anyway), please step up and tell us who you are.
@joelmw Hi joelmw. I'm me! You can add my meh name & a 10 for mediobarkre
@mediobarkre Got ya. Thanks! Sorry for the miss. In my defense, I did promise to be half-assed about this. I want you to know that I'm a man of my word. I know there are others that I've missed that I shouldn't have. Everyone speak up.
@joelmw Can confirm. Lichme = lichme
@lichme
@joelmw Mediocre JonT is me....you can boost that confidence to a 10.
@JonT I was going to gif a different bit from 10 every time I get this kind of confirmation, but ain't nobody got time for that.
@joelmw
@joelmw plz add a notes column for things like 'on vacation without internet between 2/7 and 2/16' so people can denote vacations and not get booted.
@joelmw I'm Stephen.
@joelmw you can put me down for hollyjess ;) slammabamma is @dalek
@Alien88 Good idea. Is this your way of saying that you'll be on vacation from 2/7-2/16? In the meantime I sampled one of your comments from last night.
@hollboll @juststephen Thanks! Got it.
@joelmw I can Confirm that Bogie is in fact Bogie
@joelmw mjk0088 is aye
@joelmw wait, I'm not Restores100HP...
@joelmw Couldn't you have just numbered them 1 2 and 3? What would a 7 or 9 be?
@hart Man, don't fuck with me.
@Moose Obviously I could have. I promised to do this poorly, if you'll recall. Someone else could have done it. Someone else could still do it. My shitty effort may in fact just be a ploy to get you to do it.
As a matter of fact, it turns out that excessively capacious rating systems are a problem I have. Just this week I was looking at a spreadsheet I created with four different rating columns, each ranging to 100--and I typically use 5-10 of the possibilities. At least one of them also includes negative values. Count yourself lucky.
On the other hand, it leaves room for internal growth without having to rework the whole scheme. I didn't want to sit down and figure the whole damned thing out before I did it. And, again, I remind you: half-assed.
@joelmw you can mark me as a 10 for Harrison
@joelmw I'm pat. androgynous obnoxious laughter
@patthetuck
@joelmw You can change my 8 to a 10. It's me!
@joelmw 9 to a 10 for me, Odi is Odi
We just kicked some people who don't usually war with us, so if you want to join we've got 3 spots!
@hollboll Be sure to mention meh in your request - and be willing to battle when we have a war (seems to be a at least twice a week lately).
@hollboll I just sent a request to join.
@hollboll So I didn't catch when theterminator was added. It doesn't really matter, I suppose, but I've got Gagithegreat and @baseba4551 on 2/11. I'll just put the same date.
@joelmw Actually, put him (?) at today. kingkong too.
@hollboll For when you guys open up some spots, I sent in a request to join...Only 1 day in right now with 2 days left on the newbie bubble, so no hurry on accepting me. I used to play "Battle Pirates" on FB back in 2011 which seems very similar to this game. I mostly lost interest in BP when they allowed players to move "sectors" and the alliances I played with fractured all over the place.
If you're part of our Mediocre Clan and you haven't used your attacks . . .
If anyone is interested, here's a new CoC upgrade spreadsheet. Note: It isn't quite finished yet. I know that I need to add upgrade time for Heroes still.
I've locked it down so it isn't editable, but feel free to make a copy and play around. You will need to enter the quantity of each building or troop you want to upgrade on the appropriate tab. Any changes should then be displayed on the "My Town Hall" tab.

Hey, mediocre clan, we still have folks on the rolls who aren't using their attacks when we go to war. If you're not available to participate in a clan war, please opt out. It's this little green button that says Clan Wars on the left in the upper section of your profile. The default is in. Opting out will make it turn red. You can opt back in when you are available. Thanks!
Note: you need to opt out before war is started (even before "preparation day").
I found him:
@DaveInSoCal You remind me of the babe.
@zachdecker What babe?
@lichme i assumed from Labyrinth, but that kid's name was Toby. Maybe Babe Ruth? Hopefully not Babe the pig.
@DaveInSoCal You totally ruined the song
@lichme shit. I meant "the babe with the power."
Just a reminder... We'll declare war tomorrow around noon central. Please opt in, if you can, and war with us!
BUMP!
BUMP BUMP
FYI. We are about 1/2 way through our current war day. It will end about 12:55pm Central tomorrow. Please use your attacks!
@HippieChik, @Alex, @Aaron, @PatTheTuck, @Kevin, @ConnorBush, @Katz, @Emma
BUMP! Get your war attacks in. This is definitely winnable! Clean up weaker opponents and get us some 3 star victories!
@DaveInSoCal You read my mind DISC... Was on my way here to bump this...
Clan: Please go for stars! Go low, if you need to to assure us 3 stars. We have a lot of high level attacks left, so if you're not in the top 5 or so, please look at 10 or below. Please check the chat & see if we are coordinating any strategy on whom to hit.
I think if we can get to 69 stars, we'll win.
Good Luck!
@kevin @daraeman @Nick @Einherjar13
Supercell added 1 gem barracks, dark barracks, spell factory, dark spell factory, and hero boosts today.
Basically, everything can be boosted for 1 gem until January 7th.
Join us and check it out!
@mediobarkre any room left..potentially coming back. I will be super rusty though.
@studerc Yep! I believe we have 2 open spots still. @hollboll & @chadp have rejoined us as well.
So, I haven't read up on everything, but I know that part of why I gave up earlier is that I was getting nowhere on dark elixir that I needed for research. I'm not sure exactly what it is (it's more than just gemming the de mines), I've been able to pick up 50,000 in just a couple of weeks and I really haven't been raiding that much. It just seems like there's more de available and I'm more successful getting it. So, go Supercell.
And maybe that should be encouragement to @studerc and others thinking of coming back (or joining up). I think they've made the game better and less frustrating to play.
@joelmw Right now I'm a th9 and have every builder busy (5), max E, 5M (or 6M?) G, and a little over 45K de. I've been raiding exclusively archers and goblins, using the occasional jump or heal spell. There are definitely fewer bases to raid, but it hasn't significantly slowed me down.
I'd suggest people who are having trouble should either get as many trophies as they can or dump as many as they can. There seems to be more booty at the extremes.
I'm still forming my opinion on the update. There are definitely things that I like, such as being able to attack without completely breaking my shield (and therefore being able to safely train a new army). I've also found that the update hasn't changed my raiding strategy too much, so long as my heroes aren't down. I also don't have to continually monitor my phone to make sure that I stay on-line to avoid being attacked. That's been a very nice add.
The biggest thing that I'm concerned about is the economy. It seems to me that overall loot has dried up a bit. It's hard to gauge this yet though, as I think there was probably a massive influx of players after the update and now we have gem boosted barracks. It does seem that you can find 1 type of loot at a time though. If you're only searching for 1 of gold, elixir, or dark elixir, you'll likely be OK. Finding all 3, seems to take a lot of nexting or luck. I'm most concerned about elixir, but haven't been focusing on it too much. I've moved up to Masters and the league bonus there 110k/110k/560 does seem to help quite a bit, so long as you win. They have also reduced the amount of loot available for raiding a lower TH level (80% vs 90%, I think). This, combined with the perceived elixir shortage, has me rethinking my TH10 upgrade. I had been hoping to upgrade in about 3 weeks, but now, I think I'll stay at TH9 until either I have a good reason to go to TH10, I'm convinced that the TH10 economy is better than I'm hearing it is now, or I've maxed my TH9.
TL;DR attacking without breaking shield is good. Economy seems bad.
@mediobarkre Yeah, that's weird, because it seems like I've just been slurping up the DE. Seriously, I think I was hovering around 15k for a couple of months before--and that included a few strings of attacks. Now I seem to be able to find 2K bases pretty easily and I don't seem to lose as much when I'm hit. I think you might be right about the single-resource situation, but I'm cool with that; as long as I can get whichever resource I'm after, I'm happy.
I think I'll stick with the plan of doing all of my upgrades and available research before moving up to TH 9. I think it's just got valks and poison after the golems finish; that and about half of my walls. All of my buildings, defenses, BK are maxed. And then I'll probably try to head into the TH upgrade with G and E maxed, DE at least half full.
@DaveInSoCal I'd fallen to Silver III while I was away. I've casually (again, without trying much; I'm just focused on grabbing DE, which, admittedly, usually puts me into the heart of a village and 50% and/or the TH) crawled up to Gold III. At least half of that has been trophies picked up from defense. That hardly happened before.
@DaveInSoCal @mediobarkre Or maybe my giwipe is just better than it used to be. ;-) Even if it's better, it's not that much better.
To anyone looking to join us, we've switched our clan status to Closed. This means you won't be able to request an invitation within the game. Please post here and we'll open the clan up so you can join.
You have to request to join, tell us you're from Meh and we'll accept you. The symbol looks like
@hollboll the symbol USED to look like that. Now it's all black.
@hollboll I applied to join.
The clan shield has changed. It is currently the one in this pic:
Also, we have changed our clan status to Closed in an effort to get rid of some join request spam. If you'd like to join, please post in this thread!
Is this the commercial I see on TV occasionally?
@jimmyd103 tl;dr yes
I'm in. I put in a request to join.
Been having a lot of fun with this game so far, although I'm less than a week in and still learning.
Sent my request.
@joe43wv accepted!
@JonT Thanks!
With extreme urgency, I ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU to join the inner meh CIRCLE on Clash of Clans.
War is imminent.
More time wasting? I'm in.
I just requested a join! I'm still fairly new to this game, but gearing up fairly quickly. Already TH5, and 4 builders huts.
boom beach anyone?
If anyone knows "Derp" or if you are him/her - please get on CoC and attack. Else I think you'll be getting das boot.
i just looked up the clan and you've only won 8 wars. A very mediocre clan indeed!
@baseba4551 Indeed, however we are fairly new to the war scene. We've won more wars than we've lost, and a few of the losses have been by a slim margin.
Request sent from ramtha. I'm new, and just tapped something on the castle thingamajig and it asked me for a clan.
@Pamtha You may need to ask again since it didn't mention meh - also since we are full it may take a bit before they kick someone out to make room.
I mentioned in the CoC chat that I had a spreadsheet setup to plan my TH 8 upgrade. @joelmw indicated interest in seeing it, so here is a Google Doc version...
Notice that there are 2 tabs. One is for resource planning and the other takes those numbers and plans the builder schedule.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wM8DRrSPvUmhSwMPmz8I3t5cCG-31416ZDl6EqQOU2U/edit?usp=sharing
I use the Attack Cost bit fairly often to determine the return on investment of an attack. This is especially useful if I need to farm elixir.
@mediobarkre Thanks! I promise to try to make sense of it when I have time.
@joelmw Hope it helps... I cleaned it up a bit from the version I had, so hopefully it's not too confusing. Let me know if you have any questions.
@mediobarkre holy shit.. I'd love to see your checkbook. People still have checkbooks, right?
@mediobarkre regarding attack cost, i have a much simpler method. I look at how much elixir I have, train troops, look at the difference in elixir, and make sure that i attack someone with far more elixir than i just spent.
@marklog Ha! The check book is easy... All zeros...
@marklog I usually have my troops in a constant queue when I'm attacking, so it isn't always easy to see the exact amount that I use. The spreadsheet gives me the definitive amount for what my normal load-out costs and I keep that in mind when I look for a village to attack. I also use it to see what theoretical load-outs would cost and have also used it to show my son why he wasn't getting anywhere elixir wise on his attacks.
@mediobarkre that's an awesome primer on investing... good show Dad (Mom?)
@marklog Dad. We'll hope that lesson translates when it comes time.
@hollboll! Start a war! If you don't answer here I'm going to email halp@meh.com.
@marklog some of us need time to replenish our DE....... I've been using over 15k DE per war supporting the clan ;)
@ilovereality I feel like the kid who thinks money grows on trees. "What do you MEAN we can't go to DISNEYWORLD every year!??!?!"
@ilovereality Also, these words mean nothing to me until I see it on a @mediobarkre spreadsheet.
@marklog I stopped doing CoC spreadsheets a couple years ago (but I did do them!) lol
@marklog
I stand corrected - found one of mine - last updated May 2013 (This was before we had DE troops and Heros)
@marklog How's this? :) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ypMuYeSq4FxqE6CqRa7LsrZ149oIPUTefV-ve-DHYZA/edit?usp=sharing
@mediobarkre oh, now i get it. thanks :)
@marklog Some people (@mehcus) don't like playing on the weekend, plus I need some time to save up some DE, you guys bleed me of my hogs during war and I just started a hero upgrade so I don't have much. ;)
@hollboll I used 55k DE on my archer queen upgrade - had built it back up to 12k and just blew through 7k DE filling up war CC's with Valks and couple Witches
Since this has already been bumped up, I want to let y'all know that I've been having a heck of a time with Google docs at work (basically it only sometimes lets me edit)--and that's mostly where I update the spreadsheet. I don't know if anyone else even looks at it lately, but if you do and are wondering why it's so far behind, that's part of it. Also, I've had to do a lot of work at work lately. What the fuck, huh?
Rest assured, I'm capturing the information that I've been maintaining elsewhere and I'll get around to updating it in the official spreadsheet somehow sometime somewhere.
@joelmw hey I just requested an invite if there's room, Einherjar13
The Thread That Will Not Die.
It's indicative of my current status that there are messages in this thread back to August that I hadn't read. But I think I only missed one attack. Many of my attacks were horrible, worthless, but still . . .
@JonT should rejoin us now that he's a civilian.
CLAN: We are off to a good start in our current war. Please use your attacks! PLEASE check into chat before attacking and see if we have a plan in place. Otherwise, please cleanup low stars. War ends just after noon central. GO CLAN!
@joelmw @webender @aaronhurt @patthetuck @superjimtendo @katz
@herpderp - Would you please rejoin us and use both your war attacks before you leave us?
My clan is more mediocre! I quit playing for a while, and when I came back, I was the the only member.
@blaineg you're welcome to join us. :)
Calling all current clan members…
We currently have a lot of inactive members in the clan. I’m going to clean up a few of these at the end of the current Clash Of Clans season (about 2 weeks from now).
If you’d like to ensure you remain in the clan, please make sure to do at least 1 of the following in the next 2 weeks.
Attack a village and get level based shield assigned to your account. (silver, gold, crystal, masters, etc.)
Join us in war and use both of your attacks.
Request troops.
Donate troops.
Stop by in chat and let us know you’d like to stay. (make sure I acknowledge your message)
I will likely leave a few inactive bases in the clan, just to give us some wiggle room for war match making. I will start the cleanup with inactive members that are opted in for war and then go to higher level town halls.
Anyone kicked from the clan for not doing 1 of the above is welcome to rejoin, if/when they decide to play again.
If you have any questions about this, please stop by and ask in clan chat or ping me here.
And…
Happy Belated 2nd Birthday Clan!
@mediobarkre, @baseba4551, @webender, @odi, @hippiechik, @arronhurt, @marklog, @joelmw, @daveinsocal, @purplepawprints, @Einherjar13, @Pamtha, @MEHcus, @juststephen, @steimes, @Bogie - Please pass this message on to anyone in the clan that you may know that doesn’t frequent this forum.
@mediobarkre Roll call!
REMINDER: Clan membership clean-up will start on Thursday, 11/3. Please do at least 1 of the 5 steps above if you’d like to ensure that you stay in the clan.
BUMP!
Supercell has released a major update to Clash of Clans. You can now start over! Well, kind of…
If you are TH 4 or higher, there is a boat on your map that will take you to a “new land”. There, you can repair a builder’s hut and upgrade new defenses and troops and battle 1 on 1 for a winner-takes-all loot bonus.
If you’d like to check out the update, please ping us here and we’ll open the clan up.
Our Info:
Name: A Mediocre Clan
Clan Tag: #98C8RR08
Shield:
BUMP!
We’re recruiting again. If you’d like to join, please either ping me here or look us up in game & mention Meh in your join request.
We declare war on Sunday & Thursday evenings. The clan will be closed during war, so ping us here if you can’t request.
We may do some more house cleaning and kick inactives. If you’d like to stay, please check into chat.
You guys still playing? I’ve been out for a couple of years but getting back in.
#22LRR2LGP Einherjar13
@Einherjar13 Hells to the motherfucking yeah. We’re at #98C8RR08.
@Einherjar13 Just sent you an invite.
@joelmw hell yeah…except I don’t see the invite. Or I don’t have enough trophies
yes I love this game! Want to finish it in lockdown
@kellyon #98C8RR08
Why not?
I don't get it. The image in the original post cannot be shown and is just an X in a box. The image of the shield in the reply is shown.
@hollboll @jont Am I going to enjoy the game if I refuse to spend money on it? I played Candy Crush for a while, but it gets stupidly hard and luck-based quickly.
@dashcloud I'm just starting up so I can't say from personal experience but the long time players in the office say they haven't spent any money after months of playing. It's one of those "this thing will take 2 hours to finish but if you want to pay $1 you can finish it now" type games so if you just check in periodically you should be okay.
@dashcloud I've never spent any money on it. Just don't use your gems, save them for later in the game.
I've thought of playing, but I take mediocrity to a whole new level with games like these- will the game run itself once I set it up and get started? If not, what's the minimum amount of time I need to spend? (To give you an idea, I spend 20 minutes or so on Facebook 2-3 times a month, and sometimes don't login at all on a month).
Knockin' at the door!
Just saw this - got my request submitted :)
Restores100HP rejected me, perhaps because I am too awesome and not mediocre enough?..
@zachdecker it's okay I'm mediocre at deleting my own comment by accident
@Alien88 that was great
@zachdecker say you're from meh next time, we have random non meh folks trying to join
@zachdecker yup - you needed to mention the meh connection ;)
@zachdecker What they said. Say you're from Meh and I'll add you. I'm Restores100HP in the clan, by the way.
Sad Windows Phone user can't play.
@JerseyFrank could've stopped at "Sad Windows Phone user"
@JonT Hey Jon! Opposite of "Above Me."
@ilovereality Hey MPH, I just upgraded from android phone to a new iphone today. Please tell me I won't have to start over when I download CoC(?)
@hippiechik pretty sure you will have to. When I switched from my phone to my iPad I couldn't switch it over...
@hippiechik do you have your old phone still? I believe you can link your devices now - but I will look and see. I have moved clans from droid to droid and ios device to ios device - but not between the two (CoC originally was only for iOS) (this is mph65 btw)
@ilovereality I just watched a youtube video of how to do it. Hopefully it works!
@hippiechik Yes - if you can still access your old phone - according to this page: http://clashofclans.wikia.com/wiki/Device_Linking_Guide
@ilovereality here's that pic I was talking about...someone has been sucking up to Santa.
Does anyone have a list of CC usernames matched to meh usernames? Because I want one, but I'm lazy.
Some of them are fairly obvious, but others aren't.
@joelmw If you are curious, Im Studer....i know, what a fucking shocker.
@joelmw I'm alien88.
@Alien88 @studerc Guess who I am.
@Alien88 @studerc The sick thing is that I'm probably going to do this if no one else does. And I know I shouldn't have just said that, because now whoever else might of will figure they don't need to. Just know that it will be extremely half-assed and probably take me months to complete--and even then, be full of errors.
@joelmw just create a google spreadsheet and post the link here
@Alien88 Yep. Maybe a little later in the day. I entered the names in Excel yesterday.
@joelmw I'm Jaiken
You should've named it a "mehdiocre" clan. Srsly. Thanks. Bai.
How about if someone prunes the inactives and let's me in?
@marklog After this war some of the leaders were talking about pruning inactives.
OK, you have convinced me into joining this game. So how do I find this castle that must be rebuilt?
@Pamtha It's your clan castle. It will be on your map as a broken building. It will take a few days or so to build up enough gold to rebuild it.
it was about a week ago when i discovered that im am kicked out of the clan.
i am unable to do anything ever since.
answer me @hollboll lol
@EthanP Did you try to rejoin? DId you use Meh in the request? Is the clan full? I've never seen them refuse a 'meh' request so I'm guessing you haven't re-asked.
@EthanP a few people got booted after not attacking during the last few wars, I think we have room again now though.
@JonT I just reapplied again in case my message above was lost. Now out of newbie bubble and don't quite find these riches of 50k raids that are posted in various online guides.
@ilovereality ill try to re-join today.
Clan full. Sadness warshed over the dude...
@DaveInSoCal Don't give up, man. There's almost constant culling. I won't tell you whom to bug. And you didn't hear it from me.
@DaveInSoCal Indeed, I hope our leaders light a fire under the butt of any mediocrite who doesn't use their attacks by the end of the war today (about 13:00 CST).
@jont @hollboll Any chance you'll be making some room soon?
@DaveInSoCal I make room before I go to a buffet, to get the most bang for my buck
@lichme you're a very shrewd consumer, Lich!
So I just started playing a couple weeks ago and really have no idea what I'm doing. Think I'll join the clan though to bring you all down.
Oops. Invite only. Guess I'll go it alone. Who needs a clan anyway?
@jaybird I'm in the same boat. Clan is full anyway. Maybe we need a second clan for overflow.
@DaveInSoCal ha ha, yeah. I'd probably be an anchor for the clan.
@jaybird I like http://www.clashofclansguidehq.com/ because there is a decent base layout with explanation and how to farm cheaply with barbarians. Before there was room in the meh clan, I joined "req n leave" clans to request reinforcements for my clan castle, then once it is filled, leave (otherwise they kick you). Those clans let you join as soon as you press join. Clan makes no difference really when farming for resources. Invite only still means you have to press join, then one of the admins needs to accept or deny it. It's a poor wording for it. Joining a clan is all about the wars and banter, farming is still solo. So an overflow clan doesn't really work since you don't get the wars and banter. Subscribing to this thread is probably the best bet to seeing when they kick out some inactives.
@jaybird saw you applied waiting for a free spot. Just fyi I did the same thing, but the system is dumb and your application will scroll off the chat window after a day or two
@Odi so what you're saying is I have to reapply every couple of days so it can be seen often? Kinda like the guy you'll never hire but you also can't say no to because he has a disability so you just let him keep calling to see if he got the job, every day, for months on end, until he gives up because someone finally tells him he's a fat slob and uncoordinated and there's no way anyone would ever hire him as a goatherder? Like that?
@jaybird Nah, they hired that guy. I'm him.
@joelmw oh.
@jaybird You could...but it will just keep getting buried. If you think you're lucky, then you could repeatedly check in game to see if there's a free spot, but I haven't seen one in a week or more. If you're lazy, then you could just subscribe to this topic and see if they post about kicking out some inactives.
My current clan has 7 members - Mediocre has 48/50 so why you lookin for more people, brahs?
@AmazingChicken Because it's fun and we are more powerful in numbers . . . in a mediocre sort of way.
I requested to join a while ago. I've been playing for a couple weeks now. I'll send another request in hopes of getting one of the elusive future spots. The only thing that I don't like about CoC in comparison to others that I've played is that you lose all the troops you use whether they die or not. I really don't understand why they have it set up like that. With the other games of this type that I've played, you only lose them if they get killed.
Well, I guess something changed in who they allow to request to join, because this time I was told I didn't have enough trophies for the clan.
@PurplePawprints just fixed it, request away!
@hollboll Done. Thanks!
@PurplePawprints The way requests show up in chat makes it disappear once too old. So there's no way to accept once there's room. For the losing deployed troops, I thought I was going to hate it too, but I think it's important to keep the game balanced. In a similar game I've played, you could just go around steamrolling with really powerful expensive units, requiring a level limit that you can't hit below. Since there is no level limit here, this prevents someone with expensive units from just picking on small guys
@PurplePawprints I agree with @Odi that it creates more parity. In a sense, since everyone else "loses" troops when they're sent to battle, you're not losing anything, relatively speaking. Also, it makes sense to me from the perspective that you'd have to somehow maintain those troops (house, clothe, feed, train, etc.)--indeed, they use the term "train" to describe what's being done in the barracks. It's not that you're actually generating new troops, you're just preparing them for battle.
Hoping to have my request accepted. :D Didn't even know you had a clan until I was bored enough to peruse these message boards...
@aaronhurt Are you "Aaron" in CoC? Trying to keep my table up-to-date.
@joelmw Yep...that's me. real original, huh?
@aaronhurt You're talking to the guy who mostly uses his name and middle and last initials everywhere. So, yeah, I approve. :-) Thanks for the confirmation.
I've been working for a while now to become worthy of the Clan. Up to 763 trophies, and wanted to request membership again. I can't find you now, unfortunately. Anyone have a spot for me? My COC name is Ramtha
@Pamtha a mediocre clan
@Pamtha Be sure to mention that you're Pamtha from meh. And be especially sure to participate in clan wars. When you know you won't be able to, opt out, as detailed here: https://meh.com/forum/topics/play-clash-of-clans#5500987a80292c04054aacee
"Unable to join clan at this time, please try again later." (depression)
@connorbush We're at war. And, yaknow, war is hell; maybe they don't allow you to join during war. Check back in 17.5 hours.
@connorbush what joel said. Also, make sure you reference the forum in your request.
@DaveInSoCal I was going to say MEHHHHH connorbush
@joelmw I'll start a magazine drive.
@connorbush I'm pretty sure we've had others join during war. I'd say keep trying.
We do have 2 empty spots in the clan and 2 pending requests asking for acceptance. Wonder if that is holding things up... @ChadP & @Hollboll see Relicto & trixert requests from about a day ago.
I'm not sure trixert is from Meh though. He only says he's mediocre.
@mediobarkre I was reading on Clan forums, if there are too many pending requests to join then new ones cannot go through till the pending are denied.
@connorbush You read Clan forums? You might not be mediocre enough.
@DaveInSoCal tooo shay
@connorbush Are you MilkyPleasures? A bunch joined around the same time and I can't remember which you were, but you should really participate in the wars if that's you. That, or set yourself as 'out' if you can't use your attacks right now.
@PurplePawprints didn't know I had been accepted. Thanks.
@connorbush I'm glad I said something, then. :-)
@connorbush FYI. Just about 1 hour left in our current war... You have 2 attacks to take...
@mediobarkre thanks. Already used one.
Wow harsh, I was declined entry to the clan. Welp not sure how much help I could have been anyway.
@NigelF you have to mention meh in the request. Try again.
@NigelF
@NigelF Were you Foosh? If so, you didn't say Meh. Please request again and mention Meh. I'll accept you this time. Probably, unless I forget or fat finger or just like tormenting you... :)
@mediobarkre Did I say meh enough to make up for it this time?
@NigelF Yes, that was perfect! Welcome to the clan!
@NigelF What happened to your flask? Why is everyone leaving us?
Also bump Come join our clan. We've come really close to winning some wars recently.
BUMP!
We have less than 7 hours left in our current war. We are currently winning, so please use your attacks and get us some stars!
@YoYo @JoelMW @HippieChik @MarkLog @Steimes @KingKong @PatTheTuck @ConnorBush @Pamtha
@mediobarkre okay!
BUMP!
We have about 5.5 hours left in our current war. It's close and very winnable. Please use your attacks!
@baseba4551 @joelmw @steimes @webender @kingkong @Kevin
@mediobarkre you can ping me for Zhorah
@sammydog01 Thanks! Could you have Zhorah check in on the chat & say hi?
@sammydog01 thx!
BUMP!
We have about 9.5 hours left in our current war. It is very winnable, so, please, use your attacks! Please go for stars and clean up the lower bases!
@Emma @Bogie @Pamtha @PatTheTuck @AaronHurt @Webender @Bluedyn @SuperJimTendo @Daraeman
@mediobarkre TY for the reminder, I forgot! I've got some troops being made, and will get my attacks in shortly.
@mediobarkre Im working today. My CC was empty this morning, and apparently i was the only early bird. Hopefully someone gave me one more dragon so i can go pillage and destroy....
@mediobarkre just logged in to rebuild army and take care of business. Thank you for the reminder
Calling all clan! We have less than an hour in a VERY winnable war. Please use your attacks! Go low for stars!
@andi-pandi @odi @joelmw @patthetuck
Can I get an invitation? @hollboll
@JerseyFrank yup, what's your username over there?
@JerseyFrank I set the clan back to invite only. You can request now.
@hollboll JersyFrank
Leave off the last "e" for savings.
BUMP!
Any new players care to join us? We’d love you have you!
We declare war on Thursday afternoon and Sunday evening.
Clash of clans base designs
check out more clash of clans base design here
here you can find various town hall farming hybrid and war bases
th8 war bases anti dragon
So meh forums are now a target for Clash of Clans spam?
Whatever.
That’s pretty crazy.
@zachdecker - ready to come back? We miss you & could use your muscle…
@mediobarkre Sorry, but I haven’t missed it much since quitting.
If I ever decide to play again, I’ll rejoin.
BUMP!
We’re still plugging away with our 2 wars per week, but could really use some new members to join in. We’re going to start actively recruiting, so if you’d like join our clan before we bring in some non-Meh folk, please drop us a note here.
We’re looking for people who will frequently participate in war (declared on Thursday and Sunday) and and would prefer Town Hall levels 7 - 10. Wars aren’t mandatory, but we will ask that you either use both attacks or opt out of war.
Clanmates - A 3x Clan XP event will be starting on Saturday. We plan on running war continuously during the event. To maximize our profit of the event, we’d like to run larger wars. A loss during the event is worth more than a normal win, please join us!
@daveinsocal, @odi, @marklog, @joelmw, @aaronhurt, @kingkong
@zachdecker, @baseba4551, @hollboll, @chadp - Care to join us again?
Clash of Clans is one of the games I’ve continued to find amusing. Supercell keeps having events that include discounts for certain troops–an opportunity not only to learn new tactics, but to pick up some extra resources (since the troops are cheaper, it’s easier to rack up better net gains). We’re a pretty mediocre group. Join us, damnit.
Nice that you folks continue to have a meh clan. Very nice work to keep it going for so long. How many meh-related members are there?
@bdb We’ve got 42 members in the clan. Of those about 27 have some sort of tie to Meh/Woot. Of those 27, only about 11 are still active though
[edit @mediobarkre - meant this as an answer to you, must have not tapped the reply button.]
Very nice. Keep up the war, all of you!
I’ve not been enjoying the match making as of late. Way too many perfect-war ties, and way too many matches with clans that have one very engineered village as their #9 or #12 that clears our #1 with ease.
@bdb You sound like you may be more than mediocre. We’ve been getting a lot of engineered clans too, but haven’t had any perfect wars (either side).
What TH level are you?
@mediobarkre I have two lightly engineered th9 accounts, in two separate clans, and a th3 war bait account.
I re re re requested to join.
@mediobarkre @hollboll
BUMP…
We’re still alive and well… Our clan is currently at max capacity, so I’m going to be doing some cleanup after the current round of Clan Games is over. If I can’t tell that you’ve played, you’re fodder for the boot.
If anyone would like to join (or rejoin) us, please message us here. We’re fairly laid back and very willing to help you learn. Our main ask is that you be active by either donating troops or helping out in Clan Wars or Clan Games.

@mediobarkre boot me if I’m still in the clan. Not playing anymore
Hi guys… I didn’t know this was a thing. I play Clash of Kings myself but I’m curious how you guys like your game. It’s quite addicting and time consuming I find.
@Amila99 Our clan is about a month short of 4 years old. There are only a handful of us left that are from here. Those of us that are, are addicted to the game. I’ve never played Clash of Kings (too involved with Clash of Clans & Clash Royale (also A Mediocre Clan)), so I don’t know the differences, but I’m guessing they are similar.
There have been many good changes to CoC lately that have improved the game play. They’ve introduced some new and different concepts (siege machines, magic items, & TH12), lowered upgrade costs and times, and improved your ability to actually use the heroes you’ve spent so much time & resources upgrading. I feel like the game is much more fun to play now, than it was a couple of years ago.
Max TH9. 30/30 heroes. #9J8GQCR8
@reclaimercube Yeah but your breath kinda stinks. Don’t you ever brush your teeth?
@reclaimercube I sent you a friend request, but can’t invite you since you’re in a clan. If you’d like to join, please look us up. A Mediocre Clan, #98C8RR08
@mediobarkre definitely friended you, I will always have a war timer because I’m me and Immortal Texans is my home. But I’d like to say hi in-game!
@therealjrn Are you stalking meh?!
@reclaimercube It was just serendipitous that I saw your post. But as a leader in such a strong, vital movement you must understand you now have a public following.
Yo, e’erbody. If you clash, come clash with us.
We’re not the best, duh. But we have fun.
