For Kirby (and any future members of the LHR team), I welcome you to the LHR alliance!

(Note: If anyone else joins the LHR in the future, I will not repost this message, but merely quote it. If I need to do any editing of this message in the future, I will do so here)

Welcome to the Lava Hound Research team (known colloquially as LHR by me and most members). This team's main goal is to optimise the Clash universe in some of the best ways possible, by conducting cutting-edge research.

The LHR is split into several divisions:
 * The Army research team (Team A), responsible for creating new troops and spells as well as improving existing ones in any way possible.
 * The Defense research team (Team D), responsible for creating wacky defenses capable of repelling attacks in the best manner conceivable, as well as engineering ways to add new upgrades to existing defenses.
 * The Economy research team (Team E), responsible for devising devices to improve extraction and storage of resources.
 * The Shop team (Team S), responsible for running the LHR's shop that sells blueprints for buildings and also other items, such as pre-trained troops and spells.

The LHR is also affiliated with several groups that we do not nickname:
 * A group of Giant Builders, which help us build our projects that we researched.
 * Ostensibly, a network of Lava Hounds all around the world.

There are several terms that members must abide whilst in the LHR. Here are three of them:
 * Members must not betray the LHR in any way (blackmail, hostile attack, etc.)
 * Individuals, whether member of the LHR or not, are not allowed to reproduce the blueprints for our buildings (or troop and spell formulae) without explicit permission from the LHR.
 * Individuals, whether member of the LHR or not, are not allowed to resell any products that our shop sells.

Anyone found breaching these terms will find themselves surrounded by a large aerial squad of Minions and Inferno Dragons.

By joining the LHR, you gain some benefits: TL;DR: You get some benefits, the LHR gets benefits in more research power, it's a win-win
 * A gem bonus for funding research within LHR. However, if you leave the LHR without completing several research projects, we will kindly ask you to return part, or all of these gems as we see fit. Generally, you are no longer subject to this returning of gems upon completing at least 5 projects with the LHR.
 * 50% discount on shop products if they are said to be for personal use. These products are made free under the condition that it remains within the control of the LHR or the greater Lava Hound colony (for example, if you buy a spell for the Lava Hound colony to use).
 * Non-aggression from me or other Lava Hounds
