I noticed today that whenever I attack or defend in Clash of Clans, the number of trophies won or lost is the same number as the opponent loses or wins respectively. So, no new trophies are created, only exchanged. Do you know how there came to be trophies in the first place? I was wondering if trophies are perhaps created when a new player joins the game – perhaps they start off with some trophies, or are prevented from having a negative amount of trophies if they lose too many times (so the opponent would get trophies whilst the loser wouldn't lose as many).

My account had 0 trophies(We begin at 0) I was attacked and I lost the defense. As I had 0 trophies I didn't lose anything except resources but the attacker received trophies. Of course I was still at 0 trophies and received a shield.
So what I am trying to say is the number of trophies lost and won on both sides is not always the same. Also we don't start at a certain n number of trophies because we start at 0. So proves that trophies are not always just exchanged.
