Lil Bug’s Angry Birds 2 Flingers Corner

One of the hot button issues in Angry Birds 2 is the use of dummies in clans. This poses the question, what is a dummy? The FaceBook advocacy group ‘No Dummies Allowed AB2’ defines a dummy as player accounts maintained at a low flock power solely for biasing Clan vs Clan matches. Dummy accounts are usually easy to spot. The main thing to look for is flock power, many times it’s below 65.

The addition of the Daily Challenge streak creates a new dynamic when deciding to spend gems. I managed to hit the Legendary Chest twice but had to pay 60 ge...
