Ugh We Lost... But We Did Stuff Well

Loosing badly sucks, but also being on the winning side when you beat someone so effectively sucks as well - been there done that. 
What we hope would be a fair even war didn't quite work out that way

The good news is guys that we did loadsa stuff right. Remember this was our first friendly war as a clan.

  • We got their top 5 guys pinned at one point
  • For the first 2 hours we were up on plunder
  • People were really enthusiastic all the way through
  • We all fought from pinned, which is so tough, and kept going
  • We kept our integrity and didn’t merc
  • I’ve been involved with other wars where the loosing clan has called for a cease fire within 4 hours, we didn’t
  • We made over 9b which is awesome given their strength and size in comparison to us
  • If we had beaten them when they were so much bigger than us, numbers and strength, they would have been way bigger noobs
  • It was an awesome learning experience, both personally and as a clan, and we need to capture all that information
  • We now know things we need to change, which we couldn’t have known before this.

It is fair to say that clans loose members after losing a war like this and people feel as if they want to leave. There can be a number of reasons and it is totally normal

Anger
  • at our own clan for being rubbish
  • at the other clan for doing so well
  • at those organising the ceasefire if you wanted to continue
  • that it was allowed to go on for so long
  • for being pinned all the time
  • for losing money in pots
  • at other people for not listening

Guilt
  • if you made a mistake which kept you pinned
  • if you were someone who made losses

Frustration
  • that there were leaks that we couldn’t stop
  • that no one seemed to know what they were doing
  • that you never want to have to go through that again because it was awful

To name but a few…

Let’s use all of this to make us stronger. We had a great de-brief afterwards and more information will be heading up onto this site soon about how to improve things. We don’t want to lose any of the clan, we want you to stay and learn and grow with us. We will become a fighting force to be reckoned with as well as an awesome clan which does plunder wars well.
