@Very-Rusty saidLMAO Yeah, that hard work thing. They just don't like it. 🙂
Michael,
I know you have worked very hard over the years to get to where you are and there were other players that we got which helped improve our clan, it wasn't just me, I am just a small piece of the bigger picture. Your very kind words are much appreciated.
I Find it strange you would get thumbs down for telling everyone the HARD work you put in fo ...[text shortened]... ied to give, but they seem to be completely ignored. Why? It would take a lot of hard work!!!

@The-only-Mr-T saidTrevor,
There's hard work then there's obsessive compulsive ... It's not a fine line.
Would your obsessive compulsive behavior stay away from anything that takes hard work to do???

@Michael-Martin saidRusty gets a puppy if your team wins, everyone else gets a kitten.
I thought it was kittens???
@The-only-Mr-T saidCome on Trevor. A dog you can train, A cat you have wait on feed it, change the kitty liter every day, if it feels like it it will be affectionate if not it will not.
Yeah I grew up with a dog but later had a cat. Dogs are too much work imo, cats mainly look after themselves other than food. Looked after my sister's dogs a couple of times, they're fun but in small doses.
A dog sees you and comes running wagging his/her tail and happy you are back.
The cat on the other had doesn't care unless it happens to need something to eat, or you forgot to change the kitty litter.
Of course you have to feed and water the dog as well, but it really is less work than a cat. No kitty litter to deal with, no claws to deal with. Ever try to play go fetch with a cat....LOL.... 😉
Of course to each their own, whether it is a dog or a cat it becomes part of the family.

@Very-Rusty saidI had a 50/50 indoors/outdoors cat. Did its business outside. Would come and go, as it got older it would stay inside more, you don't need a walk a cat and lift up it's poo along the way. I'd get a cat again, never a dog.

@The-only-Mr-T saidA dog is man's best friend, a cat will desert you if there is a fire, a dog will come to find you. Walking the dog is good exercise unless of course you don't like exercise and it is a lot more work changing kitty litter than picking up Dog Poo. Of course out in the country don't even have be concerned about the dog Poo. 😉

If it is an out door cat make sure it has a flea collar. Of course as they age, they are pretty much house bound.

@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidThis can be True!
A man's best friend is his accountant.
I have only met one accountant in all my years I can say I actually trusted. 😉
He started out privately in his home and expanded to where he built a business and had other businesses in the building. HE gave me some very good advice and I actually listened to him if you can believe it, and it paid off in the long haul!!!

@The-only-Mr-T saidHe deserves a puppy. Iove puppies and dogs more than anything. I love all animals kittens to but not as much. So he gets the best prize which he deserves.
Rusty gets a puppy if your team wins, everyone else gets a kitten.
Great Ideas and makes sure we win the championship. Yup, he deserves the best.
Thank god he is on my team!!!!
@Michael-Martin saidRespectfully this one I have to disagree with. In fact this is the crux of the matter.
Wanting to choose to change the rules if there is really something wrong is one thing. But that is not what this is. You are trying to find ways to win without putting the work in. Rusty has put forth good ideas but NOPE you guys don't like them. Why is that? What have you put forward? What are your ideas because I have not heard or read anything that was a go ...[text shortened]... . At least you tried.
Finding rules to beat the best clan doesn't seem to help the sytem at all.
I think there is a problem. There have been many posts saying we used to have so many more clans. My opinion is/was that clans quit and left because it was beyond normal parameters and work load to win the Net Points title.
One clan has more wins than the next three clans combined.
This is not normal in competition.
I keep hearing how good the clan leaders are and I agree. I started a clan this year. If I want my clan to win, I have to win more games than three excellent clan leaders combined.
This is a problem.
@Bish saidIt's not a problem at all. Work hard and win. And nobody says you have to do all I do to win. You don't. I just won't tell everyone how to beat us. But you don't have to spend 40 hours a week in even I don't do that anymore. Very rare.
Respectfully this one I have to disagree with. In fact this is the crux of the matter.

This is a problem.
The rules were there, we followed them. We won. There is no problem.
Co captains would help all leaders if used properly.
Combining clans is an amazing idea and would most likely push us out of first place by quite a bit.
And then no matter what you will still have to put work in. It will take you a while to get the right players. That takes time.
The rules are there, I never saw a problem except in 2016 and they made quite a few changes which I think are doing great for the clan system.
Many leaders left because in their life they did not have time, their lives changed.
Had nothing to do with who was winning.
If my team never wins again, I'll be happy for who ever wins. But changing the rules? I don't really see a need. But if they are to change, Rusty has listed quite a few items to change that would help the clan system over night.
Sorry my friend, I disagree with ya. Politely. 🙂
