    For the Windows platform: Star Birds is a Top20 clan that wins all battles by quite a margin. :)

    (20 battle winning streak since I joined the clan and reformed their recruiting/booting strategy and setup a FB page for communication to exchange battle tips).

     

    Otherwise we are pretty laid back, with no minimums besides the request that you play at least the free round in events. This allows a healthy Game/RL balance (the freedom to take it easy and miss a day once in a while), so it may not for the die-hard addicts. ;) Extra points are always welcome of course, but they become mandatory only if you missed a battle or event, to compensate if you don’t want to be booted.

     

    There is possibility for promotion if you’re skilled in battle (ability to pull a 100% score) and willing play an active role in managing the clan.

    @admins please check the path to the “Clan Recruitment Thread” sticky. It should have 60 pages, but instead we’re re-directed to this one-page topic.

    Please fix the links and, if possible, merge the clan announcements here above into the sticky thread.

    There seems to be a forum bug. I try to access page 60 of the Sticky thread, but I end up here.

    Nymeria II (#364028) is on a 15-battle winning streak in the Diamond League, so far outplaying even clans with notably higher FP than us, so here a win is pretty much guaranteed, sometimes by quite a margin.

    Cheaters are not welcome. We achieve the wins thanks to our own skills, and we are happy to share text or video solutions with everyone on our Discord server, so that anyone can maximize their efficiency.

    Do not hesitate to give us a try, if you want to forget what losing feels like. :)

    Diamond clan on a 14-battle winning streak (and it’s only getting easier :)).

    We complete all events and even open a chest every now and then. ;)

    We offer extensive support via Discord in all areas (CVC, DC/KPP, events).

    What more can you want in a clan? :)

    We’re looking for a handful of 800+ skilled and daily active players to complete our ranks. If interested, knock on our door (#364028) or email me at [email protected] if you have any questions.

    Nymeria II

    Nymeria II is a young, yet already Diamond clan looking for a handful of skilled players to complete its ranks.

    – 750+ FP, but we’re open to younger recruits if you know you’re better than your peers.

    – Discord membership is strongly advised for sharing of battle tips (consider it mandatory, unless you’re awesome in battle even without:)).

    – Daily activity is expected in clan battles & events, but also in MEBC.

    Come give us a try and you’ll soon get used to all the event rewards and battle wins. :)

    10th day of regret (back to the depressing usual):

    – 1st card: apple

    – 2nd card: pig …and Exit.

    Zam
    @zamolxis

    9th day of regret… I decided to take a risk – big mistake!

    – 1st card: feathers

    – 2nd card: pig… I decide to take a chance and pay the 20 gems.

    – 3rd card: Inflator spell IIRC (of which I have 200 already)

    – 4th card: pig… Who would pay another 50 gems for a “chance” to get another spell, an apple or a handful of feathers??? Obviously I gave up, flushing 20 gems and 30 seconds of my life down the toilet. Still a better deal than wasting another 50 gems on a totally useless card. Thank you Rovio!

    @zamolxis

    8th day of regret:

    – 1st card: apple

    – 2nd card: pig …and Exit.

     

    Oh, and I noticed another “penalty” for the paying customers: only 1 free Rare chest per day, versus 2 before.

    Zam
    @zamolxis

    7th day was of less regret… I managed to get to floor 10 with only 1 pig.

    But I would have dared go much further had I known that I can count on a free video.

    Zam
    @zamolxis

    6th day of regret (sadly a copy-paste yet again… and yes, it may look boringly repetitive for the reader, but at what the “randomness” of flipping a pig as 2nd card 90% of the time should be labeled as suspicious? Because I had the very same experience last time I made a Rovio purchase… especially in the first 2 week 90% of the cards flipped as of the 2nd card were pigs):

    – 1st card: feathers

    – 2nd card: pig …and Exit.

    Zam
    @zamolxis

    5th day of regret (copy-paste :():

    – 1st card: feathers

    – 2nd card: pig – stopping here as per arguments above. No loot. Wasted day.

    Let’s see tonight…

    Zam
    @zamolxis

    I forgot to add my updates… I’ll do my best to keep a log:

    2nd day of regret:

    – 1st card: apple

    – 2nd card: I think it was a spell or a few feathers, can’t remember

    – 3rd card: pig – I decided to take a gamble and paid the 20 gems; I think I got an apple or 10 gems

    – 4th card (here I decided to take a further gamble and risk a 2nd pig for 50gems): phew… not a pig, can’t remember what it was (not gems though).

    – 5th card: hat turning to 10 pearls

    And there I stopped. This is one of the better days without free videos, as you’ll see below. But no hope of ever getting a lot of the event hats, because who would risk after this turning 50gems, 100gems, and so on cards even before reaching floor 10. No hat is worth the gems that took you days (or weeks above a certain floor) to earn.

    3rd day of regret:

    – 1st card: spell or apple IIRC

    – 2nd card: pig – stopping here as per arguments above at 1st day of regret. No loot. Wasted day.

    4th day of regret:

    – 1st card: feathers

    – 2nd card: pig – stopping here as per arguments above at 1st day of regret. No loot. Wasted day.

    Zam
    @zamolxis

    1st day of regret:

    – 1st card: apple

    – 2nd card: pig

    Without the free video, who pays 20 gems for an apple, knowing that 3rd card can be a pig as well, and then you have the choice between 50(+20 already) gems for an apple and few feathers, or saying good-bye to the 20 gems you threw in the day before?

    Zam
    @zamolxis

    It’s definitely intentional… They confirmed in response to my complaint. The nauseating thing is that their argument is that as part of the choices they make “in order to provide players with the best experience possible”. I asked in what world is that a better experience, and they went in circles pretty much saying the same thing.

     

    My only guess is that not enough people complain of it, otherwise they might have done something about it. I suppose the world is full of game addicts with enough $$ to spend on the game, who don’t care about this. :(

    @zamolxis

    As per my other thread, the fundamental feedback I would give is very simple: STOP handicapping paying customers in ToF, by taking away the free video option which non-paying customers have!

    ToF is frustrating as it is even with the free video, but at least that allows an average player to have an average run, getting 3-4 hats during the event. But without the free video players would have to spend hundreds of gems to go as deep, which is nonsense, because that’s more gems than what they bought, so Rovio gives the gems with one hand, takes the money, then takes back those gems, and then some, by making it a lot more difficult to get to the hats… Or if you choose not spend more gems than before, then you’re just handicapped against non-paying customers who’ll get more hats than you for the same gem investment.

    And no, the solution is not taking away the free vids from the non-paying customers. Then everyone will hate it… No, simply never take away the free videos, from any customer. It’s part of the fun of the game. Don’t be stupid to take that away.

    Hi All,

    I’m a former member of the FeatherLove clan (#122101), currently a member of BoomStick Squad (#35134) and I just want to vouch for them as 2 of the best clans I’ve been part of:

    – FeatherLove is a particularly cozy place, possibly because most (if not all?) co-leaders are ladies, which give a nice touch to the atmosphere in the game chat. They have a good winning rate in battles and no other minimums. I suppose the main reason I left was because they only communicate in-game, which was very frustrating for me given Rovio’s poor chat flexibility and draconic profanity check (took a lot to type a message, only to have your effort wasted because you typed FB or other unexpected red flags). This also limited the possibility to ping other members to call them for battle, so we lost some winnable battles. But the win rate remains good, the leader especially has great flipping skills and open to share tips in the game chat, while keeping it light & funny (together with the other co-leaders) between battles, so it’s definitely worth a try if you treasure a good atmosphere the most.

    – BoomStick Squad is also laid back as promised, but I really appreciate their Discord page where it’s much more relaxing (and efficient IMO) to chat and exchange tips. They have several good players who help secure the top positions in CVC and their leader is very efficient in spotting and reporting cheaters. All this helps them have such a great winning rate, 96% last year, which might sound too good to be true, but it’s a fact. So if you know yourself to be a good player – managing similar or better scores than your clan peers – having a flock of FP 700+ and winning is what you’re after, I warmly recommend that you apply for the last 2 remaining spots in the clan!

    @zamolxis

    Hi there,

    FeatherLove / #122101 has several openings.

    I’m not one of the leaders, but I can confirm it’s a laid back yet successful clan where it matters: the CVC battles, with a win rate of about 85% and Dimond rewards.

    Battle participation is the only condition, otherwise there are no 3-6-9 or other minimums. The (co-)leaders are nice & friendly too.

    If interested, you can apply directly (the clan is currently open)

    Zam
    @zamolxis

    What is 3/6/9? :)

    Zam
    @zamolxis

    Hi @ibiss,

    Sorry for the late answer. I don’t pass by here often. Someone did join our clan soon after that post, but under a different name. Was that you?

    Otherwise you can always apply (look us up by name or # number). Even if the clan is closed, new applicants are accepted (still 6 spots left), but we had to close it because there’s one particular player we don’t want, who was troubling the others and apparently also cheating.

    Zam
    @zamolxis

    Hi All,

    FeatherLove is on an impressive 30 (THIRTY!!!) winning streak, with 43 all active players.

    We’re looking for at least 1 more player happy to join our laid back arrangement (the only condition is to play at least once in every clan battle). We’re only 300 bird power short of Diamond League.

    So if you think you can spare 10 minutes every 4-5 days when clan battles occur, you are in for a pretty much guaranteed Diamond League bonus if you become our newest member. Only 7 hours left till next battle, so if you want to get your hands on that prize this weekend already don’t hesitate to look us up!

    Looking forward to have you among us. :)

    I liked the first Jet Pack Run version… straight into action.

    Now you waste like half a minute just flying an area where there’s no risk of going off-screen unless it really is your first time figuring it out.

    Maybe it serves the newcomers, but it’s putting me off after the first couple of runs, once I have a decent score: too much time wasted for a chance to gain a few more feathers.

    Zam
    @zamolxis

    Hi All,

    Just want to say that I just joined FeatherLove few days ago and they indeed are the real deal. Now few hours away from the 27th consecutive win, with 35+ active members and friendly leaders.

    If you enjoy winning in the company of nice people, you won’t regret joining. :)

    Zam
    @zamolxis

    @FeatherLove : the winning streak sounds promising. Do you still have open spots?

    I’m star power 39 (and growing) and part of a clan ranked #142765 which has become rather inactive, with the leaders not answering at all anymore to my suggestions to purge inactive members… While I’m playing daily and obviously interested in winning. :)

    So let me know if you still have a spot and I’ll make the jump before the next event.
