At long last, and by request of several people in the club, here’s a Brawl Stars blog post !

So why is this article called Blue Penny Gang ? Hopefully the following picture should give a fairly big clue…

Did you spot it ? Yes, the entire club has Penny as their logo and their name in dark blue. From what we know very few clubs have even attempted this unified look never mind actually achieved it.

So the question is how did we manage to get our entire club to convert, given many members don’t speak English nor read chat ? Well it wasn’t easy and it took a while.

Once we decided to try to do the unified look the first thing we needed to decide on was which icon and which colour. There was a healthy debate within the club about this. Take the next bit not entirely seriously…  So we decided to have a vote. As club president I make the rules and I decided that only the club president has a vote. So by unanimous verdict blue Penny was decided. It’s democracy…. but not as you know it. So why blue Penny ? Well, my name was already in blue and my icon was already Penny, read in to that what you will. However Penny was my first power 10 brawler, and I also thought the crazy grin was suitable for the crazy idea we were pursuing.

Now the big challenge; how do we get everyone else to change ? The first 25-30 or so were easy, they were all our very active and/or senior players so they just changed. Over the next week or so about 70% of the club also converted. Then the grind started. A few of us just endlessly nagged the ones who hadn’t changed and slowly it was turning in to Penny party. Helpfully we had some bilingual speakers who could relay what we were doing to some of the non-English speakers too. By the time we got up to about 90 our goal was finally in sight so it was time to change tack…

We already had a rule that anyone inactive for 7 days would be kicked so we knew everyone was active so the non-Penny’s were either ignoring us or just being stubborn. We took a simple tactic to get this sorted; we just kicked everyone who hadn’t changed ! 🙂

So the Blue Penny Gang was finally live ! We’ve had this look now for a few weeks and still need to work to maintain it, but it’s pretty easy now. When someone joins if they haven’t changed already then don’t tend to last long… sometimes minutes before they are removed.

I have no idea what everyone will think if I suddenly decide I would like to be in the Red Spike Gang….

So if you are in another club and want to go for a unified look, then all you need is a very active club, a few friendly people who would like to achieve the same goal who are also ruthless enough to kick on anyone who gets in the way of it making it happen…

Finally, the update is almost here with the new brawler, and given I recently went to max it’s time to stack up the boxes…

Fingers crossed I’ll get it after a mammoth box opening session. Good luck to the rest of the club too !
