Quarantine Coffee with Lil Bug

-

Hello all my friendly flingers! I invite you in for our second date, some quarantine coffee with me! I’ll wait while you go get your coffee... I would normally do it for you, seeing as you are my guest, but with the quarantine... you’ll just have to do it yourself this time. In all seriousness, I hope you are healthy and managing during this strange time. I have been in quarantine for over two months now and am finding it harder than ever to make time for writing! Now that the house is cleaned and the garden is in time for some fun!
Rovio has definitely been keeping us busy. Back to back to back battles with multiple overlapping point events, plus hatchling events, hat events, Rowdy Rumbles, and new mini events! Phew! What did I leave out? I feel like there was something else... How’s your coffee? Mine is hot and hazelnut, just how I like it. Mmmmmmm.....
At times the pace of play became a bit overwhelming. Some struggled to manage gems and asked for help more than normal. Others were so depleted on spells, OH YEAH! SUPER STREAK WEEKS! Due to the super streak weeks that it was tough to score well in clan battles.
The past six weeks have been a test of players ability to manage their resources. It was met with mixed reviews by the AB2 community. I had fun but I am not sad things seem to be slowing down. It’s giving me a chance to get back to writing.
Speaking of, my next article is the In’s & Out’s of MEBC. There seems to be a bit of confusion surrounding the purpose and rewards for MEBC. I hope to clear some of them up.
Keep your eyes peeled for more new content here at the corner. Part 2 of Clan Leadership and a snippet on the Rowdy Rumble should follow shortly. I would love to hear from you any questions or topics you would like covered. Drop a comment, follow me on Twitter @AngieBlu7, or send me an email lilbugclanmail@gmail.com.
                                                                Thanks for the date good lookin’!
                                                                   Good Luck & Happy Flinging!

Clan Leadership ~ Part 1: Establishing Rules

-
Image
Duties for clan leadership will depend heavily on the level of competitiveness in which you wish to play. Leaders of clans chasing a top 100 MEBC position will typically be much more involved than leaders of more laid back clans. We are going to review the different things leaders do to help create and grow successful clans. This is part one of a series. There are many things to consider as a clan leader and part one discusses establishing clan rules. It doesn’t matter if you are just starting out or if you’ve been doing it for a long time, you should hopefully find something to help your clan. As the leader, you set the tone. If you want a competitive clan, rules need to be established and enforced. A more laid back approach doesn’t always mean you aren’t competitive. Based on experiences of other leaders, it is very difficult to consistently complete point challenges and win battles if half the players in the clan are inactive. This includes players that only come into the game

MEBC: The Fly Over

-

Mighty Eagle runs a tight ship and expects you to play in Boot Camp daily. Those who do will be handsomely rewarded. Do not be intimidated! This is a great place to practice and earn free rewards. You only get one free run, so make the most of it. If you wish to make additional attempts it will cost you gems, currently 60 gems pre rerun. The goal is to clear as many rooms as you can while causing as much damage as possible until you run out of birds or rooms. There are a limited number of rooms but it is rare for a player to finish MEBC with birds left over. Each room cleared pays Mighty Eagle coins. Additionally, the higher your final score, the more Mighty Eagle coins you will earn when the days training is complete. Your daily placement on the Local Leaderboard pays if you place high enough, and your frame coins are tallied up and paid out at the end of the season. MEBC seasons vary between 40-48 days typically. When you play MEBC you compete against all players in the game.

Dummies Defined

-

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. A combination of white MEBC frames, Vanilla League, no hatchling, and a base level slingshot are also signs of dummy accounts. The dead giveaway is not having the whole flock unlocked. Some dummy accounts may only have three or four birds open. At this point you may be wondering how in the world such a small flock could give a clan any sort of advantage. Valid question! From what we can tell Rovio matches clans based on the number of players and the clan flock power. They didn’t fully account for the distribution of flock power within the clan. Clans with 10 players over 1,000 flock power and 10 d
