I haven’t been around long enough to remember anything like that but I rather like the ability to choose my own crew for clan battles even though you only get five cards. I did pretty well today with Bomb, Terrence, Matilda, and Bubbles plus Chuck. If the rooms contained lots of ice/glass I might go with Blues instead.

Following up my own question, I don’t know if Rovio have ever said anything about the Mercy Rule but I can now attest that it is A Real Thing. I was completely stuck on 1o6o, the last (King Pig) level of Missispiggy Rivers and could never even make it as far as the last room. After running through 5 sets of 5 lives (25 does seem to be the  Magic…[Read more]

Is the Mercy Rule a real thing? Have Rovio ever made a statement about it?

By the way to answer your original question: so far as I can tell my second round of levels was the same as the first.

You’re right. I just got confirmation of this from the clan leader too. I don’t know how I got that idea but I do know I’ve seen the clan’s total score go down from time to time and I thought it was because of over-ambitious players. In an earlier post you explained how that can happen so thanks for cluing me in. I just played a second round and…[Read more]

*** your score will stay the same

Are you sure about that? My understanding is that if I don’t improve my score on a subsequent try, the clan’s total is diminished. I’ve see our clan lose points on many occasions because an overeager newbie tried to improve their score and failed. Is there an official Rovio statement about this anywhere?

Partly “yes”. I played the battle once and it was identical to the previous day’s. If you check the YouTube vids for the day’s clan battle they note the identity. I rarely play a second time because I don’t want to risk losing points for my clan so I don’t know what a second encounter is like.

Thanks for the reply. I’m pretty sure it’s a coincidence  too and the thought of closing the clan came to my mind but what are the mechanics of that? How do you close a clan? And how easy is it to reopen it? We need a constant replenishment of members as the deadwood get pruned. I’m not the clan’s founder by the way, just a co-leader.

This was happening to me intermittantly on my HP laptop (Windows 10). I could recover  sometimes by going to the app’s settings and clicking on “Terminate” sometimes by rebooting the machine; on one occasion about a month ago it got so bad I did a App settings/Reset. I don’t recommend this because you start all over again with a new account and…[Read more]

No that wasn’t it. I figured it out once I realized that I’m only getting the Parade Coins on my Android device. The previous screenshot I sent was from my Windows device. (I play with different IDs on the two machines.) A screenshot from the Android is attached and–wonder of wonders–there’s the slingshot icon. Never noticed it before so thanks…[Read more]

Thanks for the reply but I’m not seeing such an icon. The icons along the bottom of the main screen are shown in the attached screenshot. The only slingshot in on the screen is the big one next to the Hatchling and clicking on that leads to the Apple Store.
