War #14
Record: 12-1..... soon to be 13-1
Alright boys, gather around and I am going to tell you how this epic mop up is going to take place. First, we need the all important MOOD MUSIC. Go ahead and have that play on in your background.... don't worry, I'll wait till you have it.
Got it? Good. Ok, for the general housekeeping rules, remember, battle day will start at approximately 8pm central time on Sunday (tomorrow night). For those of you who have targets assigned to you, 8pm central would be a good time to start your attacks, if you are able. The sooner the better so that we do not have any traffic jams. Those of you who will be cleanup, don't come on an ask for targets right away at 8pm. There will not be any. Rather, look at the war map, look for any non 3 starts that have been attacked, and ask yourself, can I finish him off? If the answer is yes... then let us know. The most likely answer in this case will be..... wait for it..... YES!
Also, we need to make sure that all of the TH8 and up bases are anti hog. Here is how you can all help, hold each other accountable to this. We all want to win these wars right? If you are browsing through the war map, and you notice someone who is a TH 8 or higher and doesn't have the correct base... call them out, and offer to help them switch. It's for the good of the clan guys.
Last but not least, remember to ask for strategy if you want our take on it. Don't be afraid to come up with your own and then ask us for some help with refining it. That's what we are here for. We want you to succeed just as much as you yourselves do.
Ok. Strategy Time, I would like to see these attacks take place before 10am central Monday morning.
Bam Bam - will attack 20 and 19
Sweet Potato - will attack 18 and 17
Mike - will attack 16 and will clean up a target that he knows he can 3 star with permission
Maleki - will attack 14 and will clean up a target that he knows he can 3 star with permission
Chief Longhorn - will attack 13 and will clean up a target that he knows he can 3 star with permission
LODOG1213 - will attack 12 and will clean up a target that he knows he can 3 star with permission
Jake - will attack 11 and will clean up a target that he knows he can 3 star with permission
Cody (mark) - will attack 10 and will clean up a target that he knows he can 3 star with permission
ElitexLags - will attack 9 and will clean up a target that he knows he can 3 star with permission
Spinal - will attack 15(*** side note, this may be a good target to play with your hogs on spinal) and then he will clean up a target he knows he can 3 star
Big Daddy - will attack 8 and will clean up a target that he knows he can 3 star
Zach - will attack 7 and will clean up a target that he knows he can 3 star
Nathanael - will attack 6 and will clean up a target that he knows he can 3 star
Zeke - will attack 5 and will clean up a target that he knows he can 3 star
Brownie - will attack 4 and will clean up a target that he knows he can 3 star
Ed the Great - will attack 3 and will clean up a target that he knows he can 3 star
Clean Up Crew (Yes I know that I did not assign anyone to targets 1, and 2. We will be leaving those alone, unless we are unable to win without attacking them)
Kon
Duck
Luke
Crossover
**** For clean up crew, take targets of opportunity, your services will not be needed until after 10am central time monday morning.
Last minute notes:
-When it is time for loot, one of the leaders will send out a message authorizing it.
- Before you attack make sure that your CC is full with either a dragon, or something that will benefit your current strategy. Don't just go in with a few barbs and archers unless that is exactly what you need.
- Remember to take out enemy CC first, draw them into a corner
-Above all, ask for help. That is what we are here for.
Happy Hunting.

All Townhall 10's COPY
Here is the best TH 10 Base I have found guys.
You'll have to watch the video for this one.
It is the 3rd (THIRD) base in the Video.
You'll have to screenshot it with your phone or use your computer and pause the screen. Either way, it is well worth it.
Features:
-Centralized Clan Castle and Heroes
-Great use of Giant bombs (Giant bombs are inside instead of outside... this will give hogs trouble)
-Hidden Tesla locations fool you.
-Defenses are set up in a way where the Attacker's Army has to go in a circle before headed to the middle. This maximizes inferno tower and xbow's as well as the air defenses's attack power.

All Townhall 9's COPY
Best TH 9 Anti-Hog.
-Centralized Heroes and Clan Castle make it harder for the Attacker to lure out Heroes and CC troops.
-Double GIANT bombs do HIGH Damage on hogs.
-Only thing I might change for Clan Wars is the mortar placement. Maybe you could switch those with the Elixir and Gold storages and get them inside more. However, there has been nothing BUT GREAT reviews for this base so you might want to keep mortar placement like it is. This guy went from Master 3 to Master 2 in one night with 4 defensive wins.
-Please all TH 9's (Ed and Brownie) copy this and give it a shot for the clan and yourself :)
All Townhall 8's COPY
After last war, we noticed that the #1 MAIN THREAT to Clan Wars is Hog Riders.
Not only did we get stomped on defensively, but our offense was at an all time low at 87%. Usually it's in the 95% area.
Solution: Tesseract- Anti-Hog TH8 Base.
-It's beautiful. Here are it's features and why it is the BEST TH8 Base.
1. Double giant bomb placement.
-->Hog rider attackers usually always use their Heal Spells near the Wizard Towers. Well guess what, that double bomb area will instantly wipe out Hog riders that are Level 4 or below.
2. Centralized Clan Castle and Hero (Barb King)
-->Rule #1 of attacking with Hog Riders is luring out the Barb King and the Clan Castle. This is going to be much tougher when they are in the center of the base as is this one.
3. For this attack strategy, 20-25 Level 5+ Archers are a must.
-->25 Level 6+ Archers is an extra 500 damage per second. So if the attacker is unable to lure the Clan Castle, these archers are going to be a HUGE problem for Him.
I want all TH 8 to copy this Base for the upcoming War. Last war was a Wake-Up Call and there is no reason we shouldn't copy this so we can be the best that we can be. All of our bases got 3 starred last war with the exception of Luke and Crossover.
Let's do it.
New Testament in a Month
I'm eager to read the New Testament in a month. It's very doable, you just have to spend an hour or less a day in the Word.
Who wants to take this journey with me?
I'm going to post study questions to help myself and you (if you choose to do it with me) every day from the material assigned for that day. I'm going to start this journey when I get back from Ecuador around Wednesday, July 16th.
Work so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth. -2nd Timothy 2:15
Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then you will prosper and succeed in all you do. -Joshua 1:8
Praying for all of you guys.

Clan Rules
As of now, we are going to be a lot stricter because we have been letting a lot of things slide lately.
Starting right now, these rules will apply to anyone and everyone. These rules are for us to be more competitive. If you don't like them, do yourself a favor and leave the clan rather than complain about it :)
1. You must be registered with KIK or have my phone number.
-This is so I can inform you who to attack and contact you immediately if I need to.
-If you don't have KIK, I'll give you a few days to get it.
-If you want my number, ask me for it in Clan Chat sometime and we'll discuss that later.
-Everyone needs to turn their Notifications for KIK ON.
-KIK contacts you must have-> kkessler3 (Kon) and bossk36 (Mike)
2. You must follow Clan War Instructions for every war.
-This means that if you are supposed to attack before 10 am on Saturday then you better attack by 10 am on Saturday.
-If you have a question, simply message me on KIK
3. If you are going to be so busy during the War that you can't get your attacks in, you need to contact me before 9 pm Central Time of the War (preparation) day.
-For example, if we are warring on Friday at 9 pm CT, you need to tell me you will be too busy to participate in the War before 9 pm CT on Friday so that we can get you to leave temporarily and come back after the War is over.
4. If you are going to be busy during the War but have time to get your attacks in or need to get your attacks in early, contact me ASAP (via KIK) so that I can assign you a target.
-If you are on Clean-up Crew and you are going to be working later during the day or you are going to be busy, let me know ASAP so I can alter the schedule in able for you to get your attacks in.
5. You must NOT upgrade your Townhall unless everything else (army camps, troops, defenses, walls, etc. are fully upgraded) OR unless a Co-Leader or Leader gives you permission.
-For example, if you have everything upgraded, but a few troops that you don't really use (like Healers, Valkyries, or Goblins) then ask a Co-Leader if it's ok for you to go ahead and transition into the next Townhall Level.
-This rule is for the Clan's benefit. The more members we have with mature bases (bases that have all defenses, barracks, walls, etc. maxed out) the stronger we will be as a clan.
6. You must have a War Base approved by a Co-Leader.
-There is a Clan War post titled "War Base Change". Change your War Base (not your village base) to the one associated with your Townhall Level. If you do not want to do this, you can get permission from a Co-Leader or Leader to see if they will let you keep your current base. If they want you to switch bases to the one we have provided on the "War Base Change" post, then you must change your base or you will be kicked.
*If you have any questions, please KIK one of the Leaders below:
Kon: kkessler3
Mike: bossk36
War Base Change
Please change your clan war base to the base associated with your Townhall Level so that we can be more competitive and stronger. Remember we want you to change your WAR BASE not your regular village base.
Thanks.

Ecuador 2014
Guys, I don't even know where to begin.
For the new members or for those who didn't realize I was gone for 10 days, I took a mission trip to Ecuador (that's in South America for those of you who aren't so hot in geography...."high schoolers")
Ecuador is a very mountainous country and believe it or not, it houses the highest point in the world (Mt. Chimborazo in Riobamba). Google it if you don't believe me. No Mount Everest is the highest mountain, but not the highest 'point'.
Anyways, there were 37ish of us who went on a mission team called WHEW Missions which stands for With Him Everyone Wins. Out of our 37, there was a combination of 9 churches. Our main focus was Evangelizing- sharing the Gospel of Christ.
And what is the Gospel or the Good News? Simply that Jesus Christ came to the world to seek and save the Lost and he did that by taking the sins of the World and dying on the cross for them...and 3 days later resurrecting from the dead to defeat death/sin once and for all. Also, that Jesus made a way to Heaven by becoming 'the Way' when there was no way.
Ecuador is 90% Catholic but Catholic or not, Jesus Christ is the only person/thing that can take away our "sin problem." Before I continue I want everyone to answer these two questions on another sheet of paper or in your head. (Preferably on a sheet of paper because I don't want your mind playing tricks on you if you act like you know the answer to these questions when in fact you don't or have doubt.
1. Where will you spend Eternity if you were to die Today?
2. If heaven, why would God let you in? How do you know you will spend Eternity there?
A day in Ecuador:
Every day in Ecuador, we pretty much did the same thing. We woke up at 6:30 am, had breakfast, and then went out to have a carnival. Carnivals consisted of 2-3 games that we set up with poles. It's like one of those things where you have the kids make a line and they take turns throwing a baseball or football into a hole. There was always a soccer game going on at the carnivals, face paining, picture taking (Polaroid...they were obsessed with this), balloon animals and swords. There was always an army of kids with the balloon swords who would all attack us Americans-we had no chance...those kids were ruthless. Also, there was always candy being passed out non-stop and yes they will trample you and not think a thing about it. Finally, throughout all of this, there were always 5-10 of us sharing the gospel with random kids. We use this thing called the Evangi-cube, which depicts the story of Jesus on each face-Heaven, Man with Sin, Jesus on the Cross, Tomb, Resurrection, Jesus bridging the way to Heaven, Free gift of Salvation, etc. We used the cube because it was a visual representation and the kids really could understand better looking at the gospel visually to some degree.
After sharing the gospel we would ask the kids if they believed this, understood this, and then we would make sure they understood salvation and the love of Christ by quizzing them for example. Then we would ask if accepting Christ, was a decision they would want to make today. Didn't pressure them...that's not our job. Our job is to present the gospel, not persuade or sell Christ. The book of Ezekiel says we are the Watchmen and it's our job to warn others of separation from Christ. If one dies and we could have warned them but didn't, their blood is on our hands! Oh, and we witnessed and shared the gospel with everyone at the carnivals...not just kids, anyone and everyone!
Later, we would go marching down the streets and evangelizing (sharing the gospel of Christ) to anyone the Spirit would lead us to. We would do this for 2-4 hours a day. We would have anywhere between 2-3 carnivals a day which lasted on average 2.5 hours. At night we would split up into 4-5 groups and go to different churches to worship and preach the Word of God! A lot of the churches had contemporary songs and traditional songs that we know here and it was awesome singing and worshiping in different languages although praising the One same God.
I got to witness in a classroom of 30+ adults over 70 years old who were mostly Catholic. So that was very neat. A few of them were moved by what God had me say. Some of the adults were emotional and obviously moved by the Spirit. 6-7 wanted to receive Christ in their heart and live by faith that He died for their sins and rose from the dead and was indeed the only way to Heaven...by his grace through their faith. Now only God knows their hearts and if they truly believe and repented of their sins but it was awesome to see God move in the lives of some Ecuadorian strangers. Can't beat that with a stick.
I know I'm getting pretty lengthy so I'll wrap it up with the Highlight of the Trip.
Prayer. I learned about the power of prayer, what true prayer and worship was this trip. God punched me in the face...hard.
Story of a Pastor in Riobamba, Ecuador:
-->So we got to worship with this pastor in Riobamba. Let me tell you his story. 4 years ago, he was broke with 2 children and a wife. He was literally living out of the dumpster. "Dad, I'm hungry" his children would say. "We have no food..." he would say back. This man could not read or write. By the grace of God, someone shares Christ with Him and he receives Christ in his heart and becomes born again. He learns how to read...Ever since he became a Christian, he wakes up at 5 am and prays all the way until 6:30 am. He has been doing this for 4 years. God calls this man to become a pastor and plant a church. He prays for 4 months and God draws him to some random land to plant on. He asks the owner how much she wants for it. The owner says, "1 million dollars." The pastor had absolutely NO money. So he prays for 2 more months and asks the owner again how much it would cost. Owner says, "If you are building a church, I will sell it to you for $300,000 dollars. The pastor signs the note without having a Single Penny. That's faith, my friends. That's faith that comes through praying, praying, and praying, He sells the lumber and gets 150k for it. He has a congregation of about 20 people and all the sudden they have built a building with no roof. The whole church meets with the pastor and prays from 5 am to 6:30 am and this is their prayer. "Lord bring a lost soul to us who does not know you. Father, please brings us an unsaved man who is a roofer to us." Two months later, a man joins the church, accepts Christ, and does the whole roofing for the church for free. Wow. Now the church needs a maintenance dude of some sort that does not have a relationship with Christ. The whole congregation begins to pray about this form 5 am to 6:30 am for 3 months. Guess what? A maintenance worker (some guy who does windows and many other tasks) joins the church, accepts Jesus in his heart, and does all the maintenance work needed and still does it today. They have used this same strategy (faith in God) to get 5+ people to join their church, accept Jesus as Lord, and their church continues to grow (the people, not the building). This church now feeds 150 children every single day.
We got the pleasure of praying with this pastor and his congregation one morning from 5 am to 6:30 am. We wake up, walk in the door, and immediately my mouth closes, my knees buckle, and next thing I know, I'm at the altar or the front of the church humbled and brought to my knees. Guys, the Lord was in that place. I literally felt like the altar was a magnet. God brought me to my knees and the spirit of the Lord overwhelmed me. The whole congregation was on their face. Our team was all shut up and brought to our knees. We prayed for 1.5 hours and it seemed like 5 minutes. Everyone was crying out and trust me, if you were there you could not resist doing it either. After the prayer, we worshipped, we sang, we danced. This congregation was dancing as hard as they could and they were UNASHAMED. I'm talking about dancing, spinning circles, clicking their heels and just doing it all in the name of Jesus. They were surrendered. Jesus was literally "Lord" of their Life. I have never been through a more Humbling moment in my entire Life. I have never felt so ashamed of what I call "worship" in my entire Life. I have never felt so close, so intimate with the Most High God in my entire Life and guess what? I attribute it all to prayer.
What was Jesus doing when he was tempted in the desert?
What was Jesus doing before he was tempted to not die on the cross for our sins?
What was Jesus doing on the cross when everyone told him if he was the Son of God to ask the Father to send angels down or to save him from the cross?
What was Jesus doing the morning following the night where he cast out 3 demons, healed 2 blind men, and caused a mute man to speak?
What was the one thing the disciples asked Jesus to teach them?
What were the disciples doing before they received the Holy Spirit?
Praying. Prayer. Pray.
Mark 1:35 While it was still early, Jesus got up, isolated himself and prayed.
Look at the Lord's Prayer. "Give us this day our Daily Bread" Sounds like a 'morning' prayer to me. Give us "this day" our Daily Bread. You don't pray that at night when the day is over. You start your day with Jesus, you live your day with Jesus, and you end your day with Jesus.
With regard to the 2 questions earlier. Be HONEST with yourself. If you thought, said to yourself, or wrote down your answer and it said one of the following 'words' or 'phrases', you need talk to someone or examine yourself:
'I'm a good person'
'There's more good in my life than bad'
'I go to church'
'I give to the needy'
'I don't gossip'
'I read the bible'
'I pray'
'I know Jesus'
'I keep the 10 commandments'
The only right answer or answers (according to the Word of God) are these:
'Jesus'
'by the blood of Jesus'
'by the cross'
'grace'
It's not about what you do. It's about what He did. If you had the wrong answer at first, then decided you knew the answer after scrolling down to the bottom of the page, be careful.
If you didn't know the Way to Heaven when you were asked, then you would have continued to live by faith in the wrong things that get you there. You can't get somewhere if you don't know how ;)
Love yall, that's the only reason I'm sharing my experience and what the Bible says.
Caveat: My words don't do justice for what happened. This is truly an experience that everyone needs to have. All glory to God, all honor and praise is his forever. I am nothing.
For the new members or for those who didn't realize I was gone for 10 days, I took a mission trip to Ecuador (that's in South America for those of you who aren't so hot in geography...."high schoolers")
Ecuador is a very mountainous country and believe it or not, it houses the highest point in the world (Mt. Chimborazo in Riobamba). Google it if you don't believe me. No Mount Everest is the highest mountain, but not the highest 'point'.
Anyways, there were 37ish of us who went on a mission team called WHEW Missions which stands for With Him Everyone Wins. Out of our 37, there was a combination of 9 churches. Our main focus was Evangelizing- sharing the Gospel of Christ.
And what is the Gospel or the Good News? Simply that Jesus Christ came to the world to seek and save the Lost and he did that by taking the sins of the World and dying on the cross for them...and 3 days later resurrecting from the dead to defeat death/sin once and for all. Also, that Jesus made a way to Heaven by becoming 'the Way' when there was no way.
Ecuador is 90% Catholic but Catholic or not, Jesus Christ is the only person/thing that can take away our "sin problem." Before I continue I want everyone to answer these two questions on another sheet of paper or in your head. (Preferably on a sheet of paper because I don't want your mind playing tricks on you if you act like you know the answer to these questions when in fact you don't or have doubt.
1. Where will you spend Eternity if you were to die Today?
2. If heaven, why would God let you in? How do you know you will spend Eternity there?

Clan Changes as of 6-10-14
Hey guys, I really want to move forward as a clan.
I've been talking to Mike and here is what we hope to accomplish in the next month.
***For everyone to learn how to attack for 3 stars in Clan Wars. It's no secret that there are a few people who aren't very experienced at attacking in Clan Wars. I want everyone to be comfortable with a strategy that can get 2-3 stars every time against their target.
I have an attacking strategy for TH 6, 7, and 8, 9 and 10. Everyone should have their army camps fully upgraded. All TH 6's should have balloons at level 3 and all TH 7's and 8's should have Dragons unlocked and upgraded as high as possible. TH 9 and 10 should have Hogs at level 3+.
TH 6: Balloon Strategy (Requires Level 3 Balloons)
TH 7: Dragon Strategy
TH 8: Dragon Strategy
TH 9 and TH 10: Hog Rider Strategy (requires Level 3+ Hogs)
-->Big Boy and General Brown, please speak to me before next war so that I can teach you guys how to attack effectively.
These attack strategies are by far the best at Clan Wars so we want everyone to learn the strategy associated with their Townhall.
***For everyone to have their Clan War Base properly set up. (See blog post "How to change your Base in 3 Easy Steps"
***For everyone to use BOTH of their attacks in Clan Wars NO MATTER WHAT. I, Mike, or anyone else should NOT have to remind you to use your attacks. It's exhausting managing the clan as it is.
***For everyone to be able to follow Clan War Instructions exactly. For example, not waiting until 2 hours before the Clan War is over to use your final two attacks, especially when you were assigned a target to attack.
-->Nickname, you're bad about this.
Leadership will begin to take votes on who contributes to the clan and who doesn't. A lot of you guys are my friends, but it's very time consuming for me to babysit in Clan Wars every time. Mike got a chance to see just how challenging being a Leader is.
The Goal: The goal is for this clan to be able to run itself. Meaning that when we clan war, all I have to do is put the guide and everyone is smart enough to attack for 2-3 stars, follow clan war instructions, and have their Clan War bases set to what we advise.
Sure we'll have to get on at times to donate dragons and help each other without strategy, but if we can all learn and contribute to the clan by following the rules or tips above, the World will be a much better place.
Starting now, we will determine which of the players do not meet the criteria above and we will vote on and kick the ones who don't as of now. A lot of you are my friends but I want a group of guys who are active and help me run the clan, saving me a lot of time in the process :) Understandable right?
Thanks.
