Your comment came off as a bit defensive. My post was meant more in support of your team than anything else. My apologies if it was taken another way.
To be clear, I didn’t decree all clubs who use discord or telegram are liars, cheaters or thieves. It’s your club and you should set the rules exactly as you want them. Those tools are there to be used or not. I just don’t like them personally.
I might also point out that up until recently your club didn’t require members to use telegram. So there are many ways to go about coordination of clashes.
A club I once was with used the front chat page to coordinate with the entire clash team. They had excellent communication in real time where every single member of the club (whether you were on clash team or not), could keep up with the goings on. That page is the best tool WGT gives any club, imo. It’s the only place in this game (contained within app) that allows for real time communication with every single member of your club. Unfortunately, most clubs waste this gift and rarely if ever use it.
Instead they opt for telegram or discord.
My experience with those apps are they are team killers unless all opt in. Otherwise you really have effectively divided your club into two factions.
So, although I don’t personally like those apps, I am glad to see you have went with all or nothing. That probably is best way to keep your entire club as a team and not just the die hards and clashers.
Again, I wish you and your team luck and will root for you. I think we have played a few times in coin games and you have always been friendly. See you next time.
