A post was split to a new topic: Taking down themed gyms
Gym etiquette for me means if somebodyās taking down a gym and I join the take-down late, I wonāt try to race the other to get one of my defenders in before theirs. I try to gauge which team did the majority of the take-down and have that team be the new defenders.

If these are the same people that wonāt raid with you, tell them to stick it where the sun doesnāt shine. Itās all part of the game.

Since I read this post and have known that it takes at least 8hours to gain 50coins, I never take down gyms held by Blue and Yellow even if only one player is there if I see they had been there lower than 8hours, UNLESS they put in a low level mons with CP lower than 1000 because that only means they are not serious in depending the gym, so that is a big invite to flush them out immediately.

I donāt follow that. I have a specific route I follow to and home from work. If you are the wrong color in one of those gyms on my route, sucks to be you. I only have deal worked out with my neighbors on 2 gyms next to my house. If I encounter them on other gyms along my route? Well, they will just get thier coins early.

Iāll just being kind to those players, specially lower level in their 20s cause I also been like that and just returning the favor.
Sort of my own unwritten code.
But if it happens that they flushed me out early, then I am more than willing to return the favor even if it is already a full packed gym with high levels mons. I have a lots of revives and berries to spare since I donāt usually do raids and now PVPsā¦
Anyway, as I have learned late in this games, no one is bound to play any rules, they can do anything they want, and just need to accept when things goes around.

No, if I donāt have agreement with you already on our local Discord, you lose your gym. Even if I do have agreement with you, you lose it first thing next morning. My neighbors know Iām ruthless, so they have no choice but deal with me.

How many personal gyms do you have, meaning the ones you always get and like to take?
I have about 5-7 depending on day and week. But i regularly get coins from the same gyms.

I have 9 local gyms I take on my way to work. Then I have 3 I take between home and work. Then to hit my 20, I have 18 to choose from when I get to the town I work. What sucks is Iām already gold at all of them, so I can only work on the ones here at home when Iām off.
