Rules

We are casual players who play to have fun. The point of a clan is so that we can socialize and help each other out with troop donations.
We reward those who help out and donate, and we kick those that only take up space. This set of rules aim to help us build a collegial, fun clan.
  1. Minimum troop requirement for entry is level 5 archers.
  2. Default troops: wizards, dragons, minions, and archers. Do not request levels unless for war.
  3. Donation will be monitored periodically, and reviewed against how active the player is in clan.
  4. We WAR hard, and those who can't keep up can take a break in our rest/farm clan "Farmers of Zero"
  5. Failure to follow WAR RULES may result in kicking.

A mathematically fair TROPHY RACE in Clash of Clans

UPDATE: RACE RULES

  1. See race formula below for calculating the winner
  2. The race will end on October 13, 2013 at 9pm PST. Screenshots will be taken and winner will be calculated from the race formula.
  3. Only members with more than 200 donations by the race end time will be eligible to win this race.
  4. New recruits who donated more than 200 troops will be eligible. 

=============================================

A trophy race in Clash of Clans is a tricky business. In a clan with vastly different player levels, a race of trophy count will inevitably favor the top players. In Divide By Zero, our players range from level 28 to 84 at the time of writing. Such a trophy race will only be interesting to the top few players.
Instead, I devised a mathematically fair trophy race using this formula:

  • Expected Trophy = Player Level * 10 + 700

  • Trophy Surplus = Player Trophy - Expected Trophy

The winner is the player with the highest Trophy Surplus.
The Expected Trophy formula is derived from a linear best fit line for our current clan trophy distribution:





This formula will be adjusted with each iteration of trophy race using an updated trophy distribution.
We will launch our first-ever trophy race in the next season (Sept 29 - Oct 13).
UPDATE: Harvmister and deb are offering a $10 iTunes gift card each as the prize for the winner of our trophy race.
CLASH ON!
