Clubs

If you want to play with other gamers, you can join or create a club. There are many benefits and you can also chat with other people and get some advice for the game. You can find your club or the window to join one on the left corner of the screen in the middle.

Each club can accept only 30 players and there are two types of club:

* *open clubs*: every player can join the club if there is place
* *locked clubs*: if a player wants to enter, a request is automatically sent to the leader and the officials of the group and she/he will be admitted if they accept it

Both for open and close clubs, a minimum level is required. The smallest level needed to join a club is 11 but leaders can increase it at their own discretion. When trying to join a club, you will see which is the required level for that specific club.

After joining a club you will be able to see a list of all the members and their information, you will also be able to contact them in the specific chat.

On the official Facebook Group there is a specific post in which you can advertise your club or look for one. Each club has a univocal ID, that can be used to find a specific club.

## Hierarchy

In each club there are three types of members:

* **Leader**

The leader is the player that created the club, but she/he can't dismantle it, she/he can only leave it; she/he can decide if the club is open or closed and which is the minimum level required to join. The leader can change the name, the description and the emblem of the club. She/he can appoint or remove members as officials and can expel players from the club. If the club is closed, she/he can accept or refuse the admission requests of new players.

* **Official**:

Only 2 club member can become officials and are appointed only by the leader. Officials can change the description of the club, but not its name; they can decide if the club is open or closed and which is the minimum level required to join. They can expel members from the club, but can't expel or demote the leader and the other official, but can leave on their own. If the club is closed, they can accept or refuse the admission requests of new players.

* **Member**:

Members can see the club name, description and emblem. They can't expel or promote anyone to a different role in the club.

All members of the club can see the status of the other players (oline/within x days), help other club members and ask for help. They can also see the information of the other players and can visit their home island to see their achievements and help fulfilling helicopter orders.

## Benefits from Club

Being in a club gives some benefits:

1. get energy gifts daily
2. request products of Factories or Food buildings
3. help to fill the helicopter
4. exchange cards of the Card Collection
5. gain extra rewards in competitive minigames
6. exchange opinions or ask for advices to other players

### Energy gifts

Once every 24 hours a player can send an energy gift to the club members. This gift provides 10 energy that anyone (including the player who sent it) can take.

Once the gift is sent, you need to wait for 24 hours before sending another and you can see the countdown to the next gift in the upper side of the club chat: the grey icon with a gift turns blue when a new gift is available. Before sending it, you can also choose how many club members can take the gift, from a minimum of 5 to a maximum of 10: when you limit the number of people that can get the gift, those who benefit from it will receive more than 1 energy with an equal distribution. If you tap on the energy gift message in the chat, you can also see which of the club members took it.

The chat as a limited length and in active clubs, it's easy to loose energy gifts still available, so try tro scroll down the chat until you see all the energy gits still active between the messages. Only a limited number of messages remain in the chat, so all the energy gifts still available or sent within the day, are gathered at the beginning. If you manage to reach level 5 of the Draco Benefits, you can also get all the energy gift available at once by tapping the specific green button in the upper side of the club chat.

To dissuade people from changing constantly clubs only to get energy gift, you can send and retrieve energy gifts only after 24 hours after joining the club.

In the following pictures, you can see some examples of the energy gift feature.

### Item requests

Once every 4 hour a player can ask the club members for items that are needed. The club members can decide to give or not the products and what quantity to give. It's possible to see how many times a member has helped another in the member list of the club, that is accessible by tapping the emblem in the upper left corner of the chat.

At the moment you can ask for:

* 5 crops (crop, wheat, sugarcane, carrot, cotton, tomato, potato)
* 5 fruits (apple, banana, lemon, coconut, mango, orange)
* 5 raw resources (seed, stone, wood, big leaf)
* 5 rare resources (truffle, iron bar, honey)
* 2 foods (flour, dough, corn flour, brown sugar, white sugar, apple chips, popcorn, corn chips)
* 2 products (quartz sand, clay, wooden block, wooden chips, prepared leaf)

It's possible that in the future other items will be added to this list. You can see in the following pictures the items that can be requested at the moment.

Requests for help usually pop up in the chat, but in active groups it's very easy to lose them in the messages so there is a specific chat that gathers only unfulfilled requests. You can see it by tapping on the yellow icon in the upper right part of the club chat. To see again the messages, you can tap again the yellow icon.

To dissuade people from changing constantly clubs only to get help with products, you can ask for help only after 24 hours after joining the club.

Here are some suggestion for you:

* *Be patient*: club members will help you when they will see the message and when they'll have the products.
* *Be thankful*: remember to thank those who helped you.
* *Be helpful*: try to help your club members when they ask for help: they will be more prone to helping you in your requests.
* *Don't exploit*: the resources that your club members will send you are harvested or gathered with energy and gold, that are precious currencies.
	+ Try not to ask for honey, iron bars and truffles too much: these are rare resources for you, but also for your club members.
	+ During the events, all the club member will need the same resources, so it's possible that they can't give the products because they'll also need them.

In the following pictures, you can see some examples of the item requests feature.

### Helicopter Boxes

When a new helicopter arrives, you can ask the club members to help you fill the orders: you can ask for a maximum of 3 boxes. There's no limit to requests and after you made them, you can still complete them by yourself if noone has helped you yet.

You can ask for help in filling a box of the helicopter from the helicopter window by tapping the blue button "Ask for help". After doing so, a ! will appear on the box you need help to fill and when someone has helped you, her/his profile picture will appear on the box an it will be filled.

If the person's avatar has an exclamation point, they have a helicopter order waiting to be filled.

Only after you open the helicopter window the box filled by your club members will be filled in fact and the order will be completed. If the helicopter leaves before you open its window, the order is unfilled even if your club member helped you and you won't complete it.

Filling an helicopter box of a club member is convenient also for the one who is helping: gold and experience rewards will be given to the one who helps and the one helped.

Here are some suggestion for you:

* *Be patient*: club members will help you when they will see the message and when they'll have the products.
* *Be thankful*: remember to thank those who helped you.
* *Be helpful*: try to help your club members when they ask for help: they will be more prone to helping you in your requests and you will receive rewards.
* *Be careful*: after asking for help, you can't change your requests, so be sure to ask only for the products that you don't have and can't produce.
* *Don't exploit*: the resources that your club members will send you are harvested or gathered with energy and gold, that are precious currencies.
	+ Try not to ask for honey, iron bars and truffles too much: these are rare resources for you, but also for your club members.
	+ During the events, all the club member will need the same resources, so it's possible that they can't give the products because they'll also need them.

In the following pictures, you can see some examples of the helicopter requests feature.

### Trading Collection Cards

Cards from Card Collections are gived to players stochastically so it's possible that you will miss some to complete the collection needed to gain an extra Collection Dragon Egg. To complete collections faster and not reenter a Collection Map island, you can ask your club member for a card. Because they are rare, you can only trade for cards.

Trading works only between cards of the same star value and you can trade only one card at time. You can see the requests tapping on the item request blue button in the chat and then tap on the trade cards label (in the picture on the right). Each request lasts for 24 hours and if it's not completed, the request is automatically cancelled.

To create a new request, you can access your card collections and tap on a extra card. The game will ask you if you want to trade ("Trade" green button) or if you want to see the club requests ("Club" green button). After tapping on the "trade" button, you will be asked which card you want in exchange for the one you'll send. After that the trade will take place if a club member is interested.

*Note*: Remember that only some players explored Collection Map island, so your club may not be of help for the cards you are looking for.

More details in the next days.

## Joining a Club

You can join or change your club any time you want: to do so, you can tap on the chat icon in the middle of the left side of the screen. If you are not part of a club, you will directly prompted with the list of available clubs; if you are part of one, you need to tap on the emblem and then on the second label.

In both cases you will see a list of available clubs such as the one in the picture. You will see only the clubs that have some place for other members at the moment; if a club speaks your language, a globe will appear near its number of members.

If you tap on one of the names, you get to see the general information of the club: the emblem, the description, its type, the number of the members, the required level, the language and the club ID. You can also visit the members by tapping on their names and then the green button "Visit". If you decide to join the club, you can tap on the green button "Join" right under the description: if the club is open, you will immediately access it; if it's locked, you will need to wait for the leader or the officers to accept you.

You can also look for a specific club with its name or ID. You can do it with the upper bar in the picture. If a club is full, you can still ask to join: maybe a place will become empty and you can fill it if the leaders or the officers accept you.
