    Ally Cleaning


    Basic Overview


    OSW are wars of pride and sometimes it takes a long time to beat the pride of your targets. For this, some OSW can last 6 months or longer. To prevent your banks for filling up with the allies it hires during OSW, needs to be hired back. So this is why ally cleaning is important.

    Cleaning Allies


    The basics of cleaning allies is simple. You need to, as a clan, hire stripped allies from your clans frontline accounts. In turn, your clans front line accounts will buy allies from their banks to open up it's funds.

    Some alliances will open up entire clans used to rinse and clean allies. What is important is for the front line accounts to operate with a healthy back page of allies. This is because, again, most banks are discovered from when a bank hires multiple allies from a front liners front page ally list.

    Now clans will also filter back page allies from trusted players to the front liners to keep a healthy back page for your frontliners. Once a frontliner is stripped, that player will have to build their allies back up before they can hire back from their banks. This is why it is always wise to have multiple banks attacked with multiple frontliners.

    Dirty trick of cleaning allies and bank protection - convince some random player to hire a few of your front liners front page allies. There are plenty of stories of how X clan stripped Y player because X clan thought Y player was a bank. This trick sometimes results in Y players clan declaring war against X clan. Remember war is not just a game of action but more so a game of deception.



    Again, there is so much more that can be taught and told about Cleaning Allies, but it is privileged information. Information that should be learned or taught through private channels. Still the above is a great starting reference to clans new to the OSW style of play.

    Strip Farming and Tracking


    OSW's today focus more on stripping today than pinning. This chapter will give you a basic understanding on how to track your enemy and strip away their allies and gold.

    Tracking


    Tracking your enemy is the most important aspect of strip farming. If you do not track their active times correctly, then you risk complete failure.

    The most common technique of tracking is recording their W/L/Q (Win/Lost/Quest) record every 15 minutes for a few days. Spreadsheets will be a great benefit to you when tracking your enemy.

    After marking down their times for a few days you will start to get what hours they are commonly offline. That is the time you should strip your target.

    Also be sure to double check their active times every 5 to 10 minutes leading up to the strip to make sure they are inactive. (asleep or at work/school)


    Stripping




    Each clan is unique with how they they go about stripping. I will tell y'all a basic safe way to strip an ally most effectively.

    After tracking is complete, it is a good idea to give advance warning to your clan of when the next strip will take place. It is important to properly coordinate your strips because a high number of actions are needed to drain your opponent.

    After the time is set, your Frontline accounts (See Clan Banking) will start to hire your targets allies. I would suggest that the first 60 to 90 full bars of steals to be performed by trusted members only. You do not want a mole to blow the whistle on you too fast.

    After 90 bars of steals or as many bar up to 90 as possible, I would open it up to cc and let the rest of your clan drain your target. When posting in CC, or a 3rd party app, saying +1 means that you ran a full bar of mostly successful steals on you opponent. A +0.5 means you failed half your hits.

    You need to gather 8,632 successful steals to completely drain a target. It doesn't matter if they have 500 bill in allies or if they are Redstar, the successful hit count is the same.

    The average number of steals using a full bar is at 16 - 18 hits (granted a few fails)

    This means you are aiming for 500 to 565 to 600 full bars to be dumped on your target to completely drain them. (A clan with 100 members would need 5 xtals each to drain a target. Though, a complete drain is not 2,877 will drain 90% of your targets gold and 3,743 takes 95%.

    3,743 divided by 17 is 220
    220 divided by 80 is 2.75
    So if you have 80 members and the average member drops 1 xstal that strip will yield 240 bars of steals. Then lets safely assume that 17 hits is the average bar. That means 4080 successful steals was landed against your target. Right there is a 95% plus take. A very successful strip.

    Now if your clan only has 60 members, no xstals, and was forced into OSW, 60 times 17 = 1,020 steals. That is around 64ish% take.

    It is also good to have trusted friends in outside clans to help dump a few bars on your target to make your strips more cost effective.


    Below is an actual rate of how many times you must successfully steal from a target

    1% = 13 steals
    5% = 65 steals
    10% = 132 steals
    25% = 360 steals
    50% = 867 steals
    75% = 1,733 steals
    90% = 2,877 steals
    95% = 3,743 steals
    99% = 5,754 steals
    99.9% = 8,632 steals
