As of today, the concept of non-competing (NC) clan members no longer exists. This change went through a decent amount of discussion to work out some details, but it's pretty straightforward. Here are the main points:
- The NC rank no longer exists
- Only the top 20 members of a clan, ranked by monthly energy, count for monthly rankings and clan-based end-of-month trophies
- A new workshop setting is available to disable automatic hourly energy gain
In effect, the process of managing which bots count for rankings is now handled automatically by the game instead of requiring clan leaders to do this manually. The new workshop setting provides NC-like functionality for social players that want to be in a clan without providing others an incentive to attack them. Here are some other smaller details about this update:
- Clan profiles now have a "rank" column which is based on monthly energy
- Bots on clan profiles are now sorted by rank (i.e. monthly energy)
- Toggling automatic hourly energy gain does not reset your monthly energy, unlike demoting to NC
- All clan members are "full" members now in that all count towards clan platinum count, clan total energy, etc.
- Clan tax now doubles for every additional 5 members past 20 (as opposed to every additional 5 NCs)
- Clan owners can receive multiple end-of-month clan trophies now that they are not guaranteed a ranking position
- Existing NCs have automatic hourly energy disabled by default
- Existing non-NCs have automatic hourly energy enabled by default
- New bots have automatic hourly energy enabled by default
- Existing NCs were "promoted" to the lowest clan rank
As always, but especially after a semi-large update like this that touches a lot of code, please start a new bug thread for any issues or strangeness that you may encounter. Thanks!

Thats cool and all but now that messes with dumpers :p just saying people are going to have ot make them leave then rejoin instead of the easy way of ncing. Just throwing that out there.
|
Indeed! not a good day for Ophidian, Bacteria or Phobia

It's a glorious victory for my 20 eph dumpers ^^
|
maybe just a stats thing,
how about total plat trophys? only the first 20 will be displayed on the clan ranking page?
|
I believe it shows all of them, not just the first 20. Same goes for total energy and average ratio.
|
i was on this morning when this update occured and there is no difference in total plat trophys, guess we gonna find out soon enough when this bots will disappear out of first 20, sigh there goes my plat
|
I like the new set-up. Definately makes things more interesting.
|
As discussed on IRC, this part of the announcement should answer your questions, TheCause:
All clan members are "full" members now in that all count towards clan platinum count, clan total energy, etc.
|
hmm... sounds like there's a possibility for new plats. like top 10 monthly energy with EPH disabled the whole month?
|
idle energy is small in comparison to what it takes to get into the top 10, getting into top 10 without it wouldnt be much more difficult than it currently is
|
or a top member plat for the month. Sense it shows ranks now. Like for example who ever is top scorer in the clan for that month that is in spot 1 sense it seesm to have everyone in order by monthly score on the clan profile.

That could be interesting, assuming it was limited to the top 10 clans or something. Could potentially foster more competition.

More incentive to compete against your clan mates, i like it
|
:D my ideas liked XD im shocked lol
|
:) sound like a decent idea to have in clan competition
|
I keep looking to Escapism profile to see if I'm in the top5 in the clan or not. Its like other competition! Awesome :D

|
Oh also i didn't quite understand the add at first but I managed to get my head around the idea :)
