@lemondrop saidIt seems to me that you miss me.
being a competent clan leader is hard
mghrn55 couldn't handle the job
better ones then him have failed
no disgrace should be attached to his failure

It seems to me that you miss me.
Just to let you know, I am away for a temporary period only.
I'll be back before you know it.
Nice to see other clans doing well.
Have fun. And good luck with your clan. 😛
@lemondrop saidNot really, lemon
the leader of the winos must be spending 25 hours a day pumping out them challenges
no romance in this dudes life
@maxtheminnow saidyou are what the metalheads used to be

.... we have 3 challenges underway against nearly all clans, and although we have a fair few pending challenges, its now 'one challenge ends, a rematch challenge issued' .... takes no more than 5 minues to issue a challenge .. and we don't have many challenges completing each day ... and some days we have no challenges completing 😀
Actually we just lost one today .. Expats gave us a bashing ... rematch on its way to the Postie shortly 😉

@venda saidvenda,
"Takes no more than 5 minutes to issue a challenge " ?
All I can say is you can't be doing much investigative work to make sure the challenge is fair.
It used to take me hours to compile challenges,only to get rejections, ridiculously biased alternatives or just no response at all.
Most annoying was when I found a good match up to then get the message "this clan is no longer ...[text shortened]... believe why so many clans are inactive.After the initial enthusiasm,leaders just can't be bothered.
@very-rusty saidYou have a point.
venda,
Option1: Perhaps this is a person who has been a clan leader before and knows all the players as many have been here for years. A good Clan Leader knows his opponents strengths and weaknesses. Someone like that may not be exaggerating the time to make the challenge when they know all the players. ( I should check this out with Shortcircuit) It is my opin ...[text shortened]... not take much longer knowing all the players.
Option 2 is something better for a P.M.! 😉

@venda saidYou both could have been doing great jobs... just went about it in different ways. I believe knowing your opponents true rating and weaknesses and your own players well would be a big help.
You have a point.
It all comes down to memory.
I could remember seeing potential opponents before but I couldn't always remember their performance stats!
I suppose I'm a bit of a stats geek.
I used to put all my potential players numbers(ratings) into a spreadsheet and the potential opponents alongside.
I then devised a formula which told me if it was a good challenge or n ...[text shortened]... n so lucky,hence the decline in clan play.As I said earlier,leaders just get fed up with the hassle.
@very-rusty saidI certainly didn't consider "politics" when I was leader.and I think the "hassle" is just the frustrations of finding the challenges

As a Co-Captain on another site I use to have to make up challenges to help the Captain. After awhile you get to know all your opponents and your own teammates strength and weakness ...[text shortened]... . as I said in my previous posting to you. I don't have plans on leaving this site of course!

@very-rusty saidThat was the best way of explaining it in my opinion. In my case I have been on about 12 years. I know 98% of all the clan members, and I know all the leaders.
