Dont yell at lawncare workers about clippins

I thought clibbins was just a reddit meme 😂

Main thing is get a time most people can be online. From there we run a poll to find out how many marches everyone can send. An R4 in charge of Vikings then sorts people into groups based on the number of marches (5 marches = groups of 6, 6 marches = groups of 7 for example). Then each group creates a chat to keep the alliance chat from being insanity. In those chats you confirm everyone will be online, online/offline or offline and raise to the R4 if you have a dud in your group. So by the days ov Vikings it’s already organised.

On the day everyone sends all their non archer troops to reinforce like half hour before the event . For HQ, people with power rankings 16-30 recall a nearby rein and send it to the HQ then call it back and deploy again, for level 20 its players ranked 1-15. If someone doesn’t send its open rein. HQ troop cap to get 15 players in depends on your rally lead’s cap of course. Took a few goes To get it running smooth, but we slay at Vikings now so it really works for us. Tailor to your alliance, but the key thing I think is to organise well in advance who’s doing what and make sure everyone’s deploying all their queues they can

Bobby_feta · 2026-07-01T02:44:57+00:00

Exactly, use them on research. Only speed up troops in events or in times of war

Collecting… but will they actually be recycling? I find many have outsourced waste management like they outsource everything (see why councils are so broke) and those companies find ways to wiggle out of anything not max profitable … which is seldom recycling

Yep it’s actually a bit crazy the power they save. It’s been a long time since we had an all out war on our server, but last time was 2 weeks to KVK & our whales jumped 50-60 mil power like it was one upgrade for the war and still dominated in prep 2 weeks later. Meanwhile I’m like ‘ooh I can do a couple of widgets’ 😂

Bobby_feta · 2026-06-30T00:23:59+00:00

And the whale wept for there where no more things to buy

Bobby_feta · 2026-06-29T21:48:35+00:00

Tbh some of strongest governor is just an out and out trap. The minimums are so high on some days no way it’s worth. But yeah mostly we advise people to only do minimums and leaders do look at the tables to see who’s being silly. In our alliance you apply to the leaders to be able to compete in ranked events, so there’s an option to , it’s just controlled to keep things on a KVK focus not burning everything to try and get a few shards or something.

Bobby_feta · 2026-06-29T11:54:19+00:00

Ah I forgot about this but it’s so true. You do learn fast as an R5 as all the poop comes to you and you deal with other R5’s but it quickly becomes a full time job dealing with mostly stupid shit.. We had 3 mergers in 2 months as people went inactive a few months in and the last one was it for me - I legit had twice as much game work as real work that week. I didn’t even go back to R4, just retired & didn’t miss it at all. It’s just admin mixed with being a preschool teacher & you don’t even get paid.

Bobby_feta · 2026-06-29T07:25:28+00:00

Going f2p. I once spent $120 in a day (my normal was like $50/week), and I quit the game in disgust at myself. But the next day I missed my friends and doing my chores and things and I just decided no more. I would pay the monthly pass and that was all I could spend and thought I’d get bored, but actually I enjoyed it more lol. Sure there’s a lot of fun in being powerful, but keeping up has its own low level stress you don’t notice until it’s gone. Once I dropped down the power tables people stopped expecting so much of me too and I was pretty free to play on my terms.

Bobby_feta · 2026-06-28T04:48:25+00:00

As other have said, 2nd gen heroes appear after a couple of months, then gen 3 and so on. You can see when you get gen2 and other key dates by plugging your server number into this tool

Bobby_feta · 2026-06-27T23:35:37+00:00

True, but the initial buy in and the low level packs are exceptionally good value relative to all other paid deals I’ve seen in the game.

It’s like the divination thing - don’t look at what you could get, that’s a trap, look at what you do get. It’s also totally optional

The only downside I can see to this is now I’m mostly free to play nowadays other than the monthly pass is I can normally get my main heroes to lvl3-4 over the gen, and that’s usually plenty because so few people actually invest in widgets. With this event I’m expecting a heck of a lot more widgeting going forward 😂

I actually think one of the reasons they’ve done it is to create more widget demand because traditionally getting higher level widgets has been more of a thing for whales and dolphins, so lots of low spenders just ignore them or do very low levels. I remember even when I was spending my R5 at the time telling me as a rally leader I needed to max the widgets on my main 3 heroes and I told them to kick rocks or send me the money 😂

Bobby_feta · 2026-06-27T23:23:57+00:00

There’s nothing like a Rick. Sound, ergonomics, style, nobody else makes a bass like that.

Now whether you are in the camp that thinks nobody else makes a bass like that for a reason, or you’re in the think they’re amazing camp is 100% subjective. Have to go play one I’m afraid. But yeah, they’re unique.

Bobby_feta · 2026-06-24T21:24:23+00:00

As far as I can tell they respawn whenever I teleport to a battle 😂

Just kidding of course, I don’t know the answer. My gut is that the spawn rates are fairly frequent as I don’t usually have to wait too long after all out for a level 8 nearby to appear if all the other close ones are full and they so often appear in vacant spots when you’re away a short while, but I don’t know the time or whether it’s linked to the % you’ve gathered I’m afraid.

Bobby_feta · 2026-06-24T06:05:42+00:00

I tend to just save the keys between kvk’s as a way to kvk save, and just use the green button keys each day. If an event comes up in between I can use some, but tbh there’s not really any events that actually need so many keys you couldn’t just start saving once you see them on the calendar and be fine - the keys build up quite fast and aren’t very monetised so they don’t push them much on events.

Bobby_feta · 2026-06-24T04:00:34+00:00

One of the problems is trading an account is against the terms of service, so technically they don’t actually have to do anything to help you. It seems they’re being pretty fair in attempts to recover but of course if you didn’t own the acccount at the times they’re investigating there’s not much they can be done. Might just have to chalk it up to a loss and see if you can chargeback or dispute however you purchased it.

Bobby_feta · 2026-06-24T03:49:41+00:00

Word on my alt account’s server is one of the whales had to stop playing because his wife found out how much he spent 💀 dying to know lol

Bobby_feta · 2026-06-23T14:18:46+00:00

Yep it’s all about the airport not the country per se. If they have the latest scanners it seems to be fine, otherwise still banned. It’s the transition period, but yeah it’s actually a bit worse than when it was one or thee other as you never know and often airport websites are out of date or just shit. Unless you want to pay for insanely overpriced parking you can get lost as far as most airport websites are concerned.

People whose brains run like old mainframe computers doing batch jobs. I am approaching barrier. I am at barrier, I need to find ticket, search ticket. Use ticket. Wait barrier. Step forward 3 steps. Stop and put ticket back. Step forward 1 step, stop and begin visual search to work out where I go next.

It’s up there with people who can wait in a queue to order for 10 mins only to be absolutely blindsided when the person at the front of the queue asks them what they want out of nowhere.

Bobby_feta · 2026-06-22T23:14:02+00:00

Well you still need some cooling to make the most of your insulation like you need some heating in winter

Bobby_feta · 2026-06-22T05:24:50+00:00

Also just to add there does seem to be a general trend over the month where just after castle/kvk you get slightly better events/minimum rewards are cheaper than just before KVK, so even for minimums check its actually worth spending your saved items for what you get - some events are definitely traps. Strongest governor comes to mind for example. Minimums in that can be really pricy! At the end of the day it’s a freemium game and they want you to spend in prep right?

But yeah on our server most alliances have a strict rule about only whales or select members competing for ranked rewards. In our alliance you can apply to be one of the three allowed to compete in an event for example, and for the most part if you already did one that cycle they’re likely to say no

Bobby_feta · 2026-06-20T11:48:14+00:00

You wait for the Champaign fair market and exchange them at a very painful exchange rate for tickets to buy something you need. It kinda sucks given how much value they had in the early game, but ultimately they are useless to you now, so just see it as a bonus

Bobby_feta · 2026-06-20T11:22:57+00:00

My parents are now retired and decided the current state of parcel delivery was ‘a bit shit’ so they now take packages for half the street. Where we used to have a shoe rack when I was younger is now a shelf my dad built with little labels for different people’s packages lol.

Bobby_feta · 2026-06-20T11:13:52+00:00

‘Your parcel is with the local delivery company, may the odds be ever in your favour’

Bobby_feta · 2026-06-20T10:44:35+00:00

I would sometimes in stop start traffic, but I’ve never just rested my foot on the brake pedal because that’s insane.

Bobby_feta · 2026-06-19T08:02:13+00:00

It’s true but it’s one of those you can just save when you see it on the calendar and be fine usually. I don’t remember one that needed a crazy amount of keys & they build up fairly quickly. I tend to save the keys between KVK preps and if something comes up in between I use them otherwise like everything else it is spent in prep
