DIBS ARE NOW CLOSED
The DIB's Survey stands at 10 in favor, and 7 against. We will continue forward with DIBs for the time being. However, if you do not want the clan to have a DIBs system, go ahead and email me (there's a link to my email in the upper right hand corner)... I'm genuinely interested in hearing why, and perhaps we can adjust the system so it addresses a negative effect.
Look at the 'War Duration' graph that was posted last week (thanks Eddie!). It shows how much of an impact is being made early in the war. Very generally speaking, the war is being decided in the first 8 hours, and the remainder of the war is spent 'tweaking' to get the rest of the stars.
We will continue with the same first attack strategy – please choose a target that you are confident you can get 3 stars on the first attack. Regardless of whether you call a DIB or not, please try and get those 3 stars. Even if that means you have to drop down many rankings below your own, go for it! We want to eliminate targets in the first round, and not have to use additional attacks to clean up bases that were already attacked.
Reminder - here are the DIB guidelines:
- Everyone is invited to call DIB’s on an enemy base.
- You can call a DIB on just ONE enemy base.
- Post your DIB in the ‘Comments’ of this post. PLEASE PUT THE TROOPS YOU WILL USE TOO.
I will consolidate the list as the day goes on to make it easier for you to read.
DIBS will be accepted here throughout Prep Day, and cut off is at noon (EST) on Saturday.
After that time, we will change the in-game clan description to include a list of all bases that have DIBS on them. Example - DIBS!! 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 17, 19, 22 thru 27, 30, 31, 33 thru 45
We will also leave the original requests in the 'Comments' section of this post.
Additional comments:
- Calling DIBS is entirely optional.
- Respecting DIBS is NOT optional. Please check the Clan Description before attacking.
Additional War Strategy comments:
Everyone should focus their 2nd attacks on either a cleanup of any enemy base that had less than 3 stars, or a Top Ranked base that did not get attacked.
You do NOT have to wait to make your second attack, but you still should respect any DIB attacks that have not been made yet.
And finally, thanks Krusty for finding this little gem on the Lava Hound:
