I’ve been playing clash Royale for over 4 years now, and I’ve been somewhat of a casual player reaching around 6k trophies. When the new clan war system was announced I was incredibly excited and hoped that it would up my interest in the game, and it did, for exactly ONE WEEK. The first day of that second week, I realized that I had to do every single attack daily for the next 4 weeks otherwise I would be ACTIVELY hurting my clan. There is no opt out, there is no break at all in between wars. The rewards are decent, but this is ridiculous. I’ve never posted on this subreddit but this insane attempt to boost daily player numbers has done it for me. I guarantee every single casual or semi casual player will either quit completely, leave their clan and log in once a month, or use their war attacks every once in a while and hurt everyone involved.
Please change this new system! I still love clash Royale as a game and I don’t want to see myself stop playing altogether. Add an opt out system for either individual players or clans, or maybe let clans choose when to battle other clans.

September 27 Azeri pilot's widow writes a scorching letter to Aliyev / Exposes campaign to turn off catapults and cover-up Turkish presence / Meat grinder
Azeri pilot Sabir Valiyev was killed during the battles. His widow wrote a letter on Facebook exposing the "horrible conditions in the front, thousands of dead, and the lawlessness of the Syrian jihadists."
The letter says: I, the wife of the deceased pilot Valiyev
Sabin Sabir Chingiz kizi
(update: translation may contain error in names and language-specific terminologies), write this letter to all the citizens of our country and the heads of other nations. My husband was killed on October 3rd, yet his body has not been recovered yet. We have two children.
His fellow soldier called me to tell the news. I asked him why Sabir didn't catapult, and he told me it's configured so that they can't catapult so that Armenians won't capture them alive, because Turkish pilots fly with them, and "if they capture us, Azerbaijan will be in big trouble. We have a one-way ticket. Two have died already". I don't care what problems Azerbaijan will have!
He also told me that things are even worse for ground soldiers. They throw them forward like a meat to attack without an armored backup. Thousands of bodies are laying and decaying; this is against our Islamic values
(the dead must be buried quickly). The army doesn't even stop the fights to collect them.
Another soldier told me that they throw them forward next to the trash from the Middle East
(referring to jihadists) who are real criminals. They don't spare soldiers. They die in hundreds. The commanders are afraid of telling that to the president to avoid being punished. They just throw hundreds and hundreds more.
The soldiers tell me that if the population learns about our losses, the government will be simply destroyed. I saw photos of hundreds of our dead martyrs, but they are just meat for our higher-ups.
I appeal to my people, the administration, people of the world, the government of other states, to stop this war and punish our government for the inhumane treatment of our martyrs and the nation.
Stop, Mr. Aliyev. Don't ruin our children. Your generals lie to you. They hide our losses and the inhumane treatment of soldiers. Remove from our country the terrorists from the Middle East. Let Erdogan shed the blood of his soldiers at home for his own interests.
I know that as soon as they learn about my letter, they'll follow me around and pressure to have me to retract my words, but I'll try to be persistent.
I beg you all to raise your voice.

http://youtu.be/kR_B4pgZw9s http://armeniatoday.news/ru/artsakh/180714/ http://t.me/infoteka24/8307 Azerbaijan's Talysh minorities continue to complain about the govt's discriminatory draft
Talyshistan Times article by Rashad Likidj: Talysh began dying from the first day of the Azeri-Armenian war. I decided to visit the front to see the tragedy of our nation myself, and if possible, help the fellow men to save them from Aliyev's meatgrinder.
Armenians have done nothing bad to my people. We have no reason to war against them.
I had left Azerbaijan with my family earlier due to threats. Being a Talysh in Azerbaijan, you have two choices: either forget you're a Talysh and "assimilate" or find the courage to live in an environment of constant pressure and humiliation.
Obviously, the only way I could visit the front was through Armenian territory. I landed there and traveled to Karabakh as a journalist.
I saw around me only inspired people, ready to repulse the opponent and defend their land. I felt ashamed that my fellow Talysh are forced to be accomplices of Azerbaijan's criminals against these people. I have no doubt that Azerbaijan is an aggressor.
The ease of obtaining journalist accreditation shows that Armenians have nothing to hide. It's sharply different from the Azeri approach of closing it for "unfriendly" journalists.
I went near the line of contact. What I saw there will haunt me for the rest of my life. Hard to write, but I can't be silent. Will we ever learn the true number of casualties? There are too many.
Azeris sit behind the back of minorities while pushing them forward. The losses are huge yet Aliyev doesn't intend to stop. Or maybe he does, but Erdogan makes the decisions. As it turns out, the Talysh are sacrificing their lives for that "Turkish dog" (Erdogan).
I saw documents of deceased Talysh soldiers (under Armenian possession). The scary thing is their parents are yet to learn about their sons' deaths.
The slopes of mountains are filled with corpses, which the Azeri side does not even try to collect for burial despite Armenia's offer.
This is what Aliyev's and his band's achievement has been. I know that my fellow Talysh don't want to take part in this war or live as part of the Azerbaijani Republic. We don't want to die in the hands of two schizophrenic criminals from Baku and Ankara.
I call upon the Talysh in front lines to not only not to fight, but to join the Armenian side. It sounds scary, but I can assure you that Armenians don't view you as their enemies. The same is true about Avars, Lezgins, and other minorities.
I'm sure you've already read the Karabakh govt's letter to the ethnic minorities of Azerbaijan. They will respect your life and help you move to a third country.
I know instances of minorities holding the white flag and turning themselves in front trenches, but they were shot by the Azeri soldiers from behind. It is still safer than fighting in the Azeri army, though. You'll have a better chance to live if you walk the other side.
Armenians and Talysh have a chance to establish peace in the South Caucasus and destroy one of the most brutal and idiotic dictatorships of modern times, and to gain independence.
Our time has come. This is the moment of truth. Long live Talyshistan and Armenia.

http://www.talyshistantimes.com/content/likijrashad your daily jihadist report
Pro-Turkish jihadist in Afrin is seen in the video saying "Our battle in Azerbaijan is the same as in Syria. It is intended that the battles in Azerbaijan are jihad."
Translated video:
http://twitter.com/ArmenianUnified/status/1314144132777021441?s=20 http://twitter.com/ASBMilitary/status/1313943765367873536?s=20 Syrian Jisr Press reports that the next batch of 250 Syrian mercenaries will include jihadists from the Feilak al-Sham terror cell besides the usual Sultan Murad and Al Hams groups.
http://t.me/reartsakh/4476 "History repeats itself". An old article about how Azerbaijan deployed Afghan jihadists during the first Karabakh war in the 1990s.
(there is a report that Turkey is collecting jihadists from Afghanistan and Pakistan besides Syria) Screenshot of old article:
http://twitter.com/ArtyomTonoyan/status/551214207228997632 Al-Monitor outlet spoke via phone with Syrian mercenaries recruited by Azerbaijan & Turkey.
Khaled Saleh (25) from the northern countryside of Aleppo: I work with the First Corps in the Free Syrian Army (FSA). The living situation in northern Syria and unemployment forced me to go to Libya before, and now I have decided to go to Azerbaijan for $1,500.
By joining the fight against Armenia through Turkey, I will achieve two goals: The first is getting a financial income in light of the poverty we live in, and the second is to stand by Turkey, which stood by our side in the Syrian regime’s war against us.
Jasim Himmish, 35, an FSA leader from the city of Baza’a: we are fighting alongside Turkey in Libya and Azerbaijan. We owe it to Turkey, which has championed the Syrian people's revolution against the Syrian regime. Turkey is now protecting us from the oppression of the Syrian regime and Russia, and the fight against Armenia is in the end a fight with Turkey against Russia, the main enemy of the Syrian people.
Bilal Hamdan, 24, from northern Idlib: My cousin is a soldier in the Sultan Murad, and he told me to meet him in Afrin in order to register. So I did and met the commander in charge, who told us that the salary will be between $150 and $2,000, and we would work as guards in Azerbaijani oil facilities only. However, we were transported by air from Turkey to Azerbaijan, to an area where I could hear bombing sounds. It then became clear to me that we were in a war zone instead of an oil facility. I agreed to fight because of the tempting salary. //
A Syrian journalist has learned about a few hundred mercenaries. Some faction leaders misled them and claimed that they were going through official contracts, but it was not the case. They rather went through Turkish security companies that have projects in Azerbaijan with gas, oil, and contracting companies.
When they first registered, no military operations were taking place in Artsakh. "Those who are officially sent by Turkey are Syrians who hold Turkish citizenship."
Those who were sent unofficially are members of groups that seek the return to the Turkish state, and most are Turkmen; they have no official cover and they are not given any travel documents

http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2020/10/syria-fighters-turkey-deploy-azerbaijan-armenia-russia.html A WhatsApp audio message in Arabic was allegedly send by one of the jihadists "begging to get out". He is heard mentioning Mataghis (northern village at a center of battles), Azerbaijan, and Turkey.
Translated text in English via Google Translate: May the Lord help us, carry us out of here, out of this swamp, we are stuck in a swamp here. We are in Matagis now. There is no food or water. We are being fired upon, rockets are falling on our heads. We have been here for 4-5 days. The bodies of our comrades have been torn apart before our very eyes. If there is a higher-ranking official, please talk to him too. Let them take us out of this swamp, talk to the Azerbaijani military, let them bring us food and water.
We also talk with Azerbaijanis, they say - you do your job, otherwise, we will kill you. Do what you came here for. How long should we stay here? Half of our Syrian friends have already died. If they take us out of here, I'll come to you in Turkey. Our friends have already started to fight each other for food, water, money. We were told that there is food and water and money, but where? No money, no water, no food.
Translated text in Russian: Да поможет нам Господь, вынеси нас отсюда, из этого болота, мы тут увязли в болоте. Мы сейчас в Матагисе. Нет ни еды, ни воды. Нас обстреливают, на наши головы падают ракеты. Мы здесь уже 4-5 дней. Тела наших товарищей на наших глазах разорваны на части. Если есть более высокопоставленный чиновник, прошу, поговори и с ним. Пусть нас вывезет из этого болота, поговори с азербайджанскими военными, пусть принесут нам еду и воду. Мы тоже говорим с азербайджанцами, они говорят - вы делайте свое дело, в противном случае мы вас убьем. Делайте то, для чего вы приехали сюда. До каких пор мы должны еще оставаться здесь? Половина наших сирийских друзей уже погибла. Если нас отсюда не вывезут, я к тебе в Турцию приду. Наши друзья уже начали друг с другом драться за еду, воду, деньги. Нам говорили, что есть и еда, и вода, и деньги, но где? Ни денег, ни воды, ни еды

Hello! Hi.
How are you? Good.
How is the situation? Good.
Is this the 5th unit? … (silence) I can't reveal that info.
Hahaha very good. http://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=342752020115028 Yesterday there were reports of Azeris retreating in some parts of the south after ending up being encircled. A source from the front claims that the Armenian tanks penetrated the enemy's flanks and winded up behind their lines.
Armenians in the front began pressuring the Azeris, who chose to retreat. The retreating Azeris went straight towards the Armenian tanks, which were coming to meet them. The Azeris thought the tanks were theirs, but when they got closer, they realized it was Armenians, panic, and opened fire. The tanks fired back. 150 Azeris died in this battle.

The Azeri MFA Bayramov is set to arrive in Geneva for Minks Group discussions soon.
First president Levon Ter-Petrosyan says Geneva's resolution is important because it contains something unprecedented, which is the part that officially acknowledges that "Artsakh can only be physically safe if it's granted the right for self-determination".
"The essence of that doctrine is the following. When a state systematically violates the civil rights of its ethno-territorial minority on the grounds of race, nationality, religion, and xenophobia at the level of authorities, resorting to violence, threatening extermination or deportation, the international community, considering the coexistence of such peoples impossible, in order to preserve the existence of the minority, should separate its occupied territory from the given state."

http://t.me/infoteka24/8356 15:59 Israeli blogger Alexander Lapshin: a doctor from Azerbaijan, one of my readers, wrote me about the conditions in hospitals. The number of wounded it very high.
Soldiers who are transported to a hospital say that there are hundreds more who are wounded but the administration won't let them leave the battlefield to receive care; they are left to suffer for days.
Over 2,000 dead bodies aren't being collected from the battlefield because Baku won't cooperate with the Red Cross. A few more days and the decaying bodies will become un-identifiable.
When a soldier gets wounded in his position from artillery fire, he is lucky, because they'll evacuate him. But if he's an advanced unit away from the main position, no one will save him. The soldiers leave their wounded comrades on the field while the latter scream for help. Armenians aren't eager to take captives in order not to risk their own lives, so hundreds are left dying after receiving a wound.

The church was bombed twice, proving it intentional. Drones were heard above the journalists' heads.
Ombudsman: Before the second attack, Azerbaijan monitored the journalists' movement with a drone to target them. 3 journalists were wounded.
Armenian MFA: the bombing of a church is the latest crime of the military-political leadership of Azerbaijan, which reveals its anti-human essence. It fully fits into the Armenophobic policies of the past decades. Azerbaijan, which completely destroyed the Armenian cultural heritage in Nakhijevan, is attempting the same in Artsakh. This is a challenge to the whole civilized humanity.
Artsakh president: we will rebuild it.
Ombudsman: Azerbaijan tried to target the women and children who were taking shelter in the church's basement.
Hours later: doctors removed the shrapnel from the Russian journalists' body. "His life is not in danger."

We won't attack cultural buildings and churches in Azerbaijan.
I won't comment on what percentage of Azeri army weaponry has been used so far, our information is a military secret, but their losses in the first 5 days were massive. Most of their weapons are Soviet-made Azeri weapons but the high-tech comes from Turkey and Israel.
(a journalist earlier asked if it's true that Azeris consumed 43% of weapons) 30% of our wounded/injured soldiers receive care and are able to return to the battlefield the next day. It's a good number considering the fact that artillery attacks are dense.
The video that Azeris have just uploaded about capturing Jebrayil is 3-4 days old. It looks laughable today.

http://www.foxnews.com/world/century-old-genocide-looms-large-for-armenians-as-turkey-weighs-in-on-nagorno-karabakh Boston Globe: Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict is spiraling out of control.
"Azerbaijan launched military operations against Nagorno-Karabakh on Sept. 27. Backed by Turkish air power, drones, and jihadist fighters from Syria, Azerbaijan attacked Stepanakert, the capital of Nagorno-Karabakh. The targeting of civilian areas has been confirmed by BBC and other journalists on-the-ground.
The conflict risks spiraling out of control, resulting in a regional conflagration involving Russia, an ally of Armenia, and Turkey, which supports Azerbaijan, as well as Iran, which is attempting to broker a peace deal while warning both countries not to cross the border into the Islamic republic."
