Nancy1959: So last spring a CC (now defunct SDC) who was working hard to get a Clash win against us decided how they could band together and get 250,000 points and finally knock us off. They had been trying hard for a couple of months to knock us off without success and finally figured out that if they put up 250,000 that they would easily beat us. It's my understanding that each member was encouraged to set a personal goal for their own contributions. They did exceed that number, actually.
The problem there was you were dealing with an idiot owner, who actually thought it was a good idea to infiltrate his alter ego Julia inside your CC. And their members couldn't play nowhere near good enough to score enough points ;-)
Nancy1959: I honestly think that if a CC banded together and put up 1 million points in a Clash that we would still win it.
Not with most people putting up 30-40 points a round on the board, not even with the 48 hour ringers y'all take on board ;-) Not by a long way
Nancy1959: So go for it if you want. It might actually be fun to have some competition again for a change. But if you do, be prepared to spend an awful lot of money, hahahaha!
Here's what you don't understand. The people that would play against you, haven't spend a cent in years and wouldn't need to spend a cent now.
Lets's look at the numbers: I spent 100$ in the summer of 2012 and that was my only purchase. Learned the game with starters, bought my L59 set, when I reached master tier and started scoring (and winning) well enough to support my credit needs. Then came the brackets and in the 1st year (when they weren't counted as career earnings yet) netted somewhere between 150 and 200k of profit playing solely legend 500 cr. brackets. Right now, I'm only playing as many credit rounds as is necessary to float around 50k in my account and being able to still gift others (on which I spent over 200k in my almost 6 years here). And people, that would be needed to do this thing, have at least that much (or much, much more) to throw around.
So you see, we would need to spend zero money ;-)
As people, who read my posts about clashes know, my stance on the event is that it's a wannabe comp, that caters to the most common human need to feel like a winner, even if one's skill set is nowhere near enough to be able to win.
But, as I said, I wouldn't mind doing this just to prove a point. Alas, I doubt I'll get 40 more idiots like me to join. But, if that ever happens, the thought of 40 people, who can put more points on board than over a 100 of yours (over 300k by themselves), who would team up with an already clash eager large CC, should make you clench your cheeks. I promise, that if we ever find enough very good players to give this a go, we'll issue a public challenge. No real need for an ambush ;-)
P.S.: Just in case anyone thinks I have something against the G, I don't. I played with a few of their members in an inter CC match and in the WC and they were all lovely people. My teammates said the same.
