I don’t know the exact number, but it’ll be pretty close. Obviously you want to get as many of the rewards as possible excluding maps and souls if you so choose. Everything else is very useful. 16 million is how much it costs to complete all of the tasks weekly. So you can take some of that amount off for souls and maps if you don’t want them, then divide by 30. So yeah I’d say at least that much. I did the math and for 16 million gold, all players would have to donate 535k weekly. So I doubt that’s happening. That’s where the importance of reqs is though, it’s going to be tough for most people to hit those numbers every single week if you want them. ---

Not much point stating a gold value until the new tasks are briefed in full. Its likely the requirement will be multiples of what it is now though ---

Are the last couple of gems/glory key tasks economical? I havent a grasp of the system yet to know what the benefits are of completing all tasks for a given resource. ---

That’s all I meant when I said it worried me, because I know Birch Team is a damn good guild. It’s just you’re looking at anywhere from 200-250 reqs a week at the very least when you include gold count. So the reqs will have to be raised at some point. If there is push back to that then I don’t know. ---

Yeah just watched the video again and every time you complete a task you get increased rewards. If you fully complete a task, everyone in the guild gets a skill point added to their troops for the week for every task fully completed. ---

If thats the only benefit I wouldnt be too worried about going all in on gems and keys. I mean, if the last couple tasks are around 100k gold it may be hard for our guild to justify. Know more when full numbers per task are released I guess ---

Obviously, at my level souls and traits are both issues. Fighting most of my matches with valk to get some souls. only have 23k souls saved and only 3 kingdoms at 5 star. ---

Hello fellow guild members! I’m probably a lot lower level than a lot of you guys… I have 11 kingdoms at level 10. I’m hoping to get the rest finished soon. I will definitely be able to donate more when they are done. ---

> [@HKdirewolf](#): > > Which is why people need to get as close to all kingdoms maxed or not care about it to have the expendable gold. Console players have another month to do so, so at least we have that going for us. This is a great goal! I wonder how possible is it? Where does everyone stand (close or far off)? I would think out of the 30 members in Team B only 5-15 have them all maxed, and BIS perhaps 1-2. ---

From the looks of it on facebook not many at all. ---

> [@Strat](#): > > PS: at least 3 players are in the 200-300 range already, I omitted them because I don’t know if that is real or the usual reset bug. I suppose it could be possible they are doing 380-580 battles for the week… I’ll send you a link to the spreadsheet i’ve made this week. There are about 4 people making 100+ trophies a week\* (including yourself) and 2 making 200-300 legit, they’re actually the new guys (Salander and Nero) . these are the same people that are also donating massive amounts now that they have their kingdoms leveled. I’ve also put those numbers that i _know_ are leveled into it. Edit \*this is off the top of my head… just woke up. ---

This is my position. Copied from facebook in case it is missed: I think there should be a 150 combined minimum put in place immediately to start. Move as many people up from Birch Bis as deserve each week and increase that value again if required. Everyone should level all kingdoms before the guild update. At that time a new gold and seal target can be introduced but probably around 250k and 1500 is achievable. ---

@Robert Its 120 combined now, so 150 is no big deal. I vote yes. @evilbatwitch you’ll need more than 2 opinions. PS I’m not on FB, and have no plans to join. PPS: Having two guilds with different requirements is great. It allows for a lot of flexibility, and if we have players in BIS that are performing great! ---

What happens if you double it to 240 and nobody makes it? 150, promote people, re-assess, increase again seems somewhat logical and fair. We need to start ramping it up each week ---

here’s the poll with my original options: Should we raise guild reqs, or not? When, and by how much? please click the boxes, _then_ explain your answer. Leave the same - 9 people, so far, (that understand how to click boxes) have voted this: Doug, Feegert, Ponyboy, Circe (by proxy), Queen Juliette, Griever, Bluh (1/2), Emyrk, and Morpheus. Raise to 150 in the next week - 4 people (5 including you, \*@Strat,) Pinoking, Flawless Nero, Athrillskr and Robert. Athrillskr is our newest FNG, and Nero both from BIS. Raise, but wait for the guild update - Bluh (2/2) \*deleted opinionated, not knowing all the facts, blanket statements) Raise but wait for everyone to have their kingdoms leveled. me, Demo, \*Athrillskr. TO BE FAIR: the reqs aren’t truly at min 120 any way you can, it’s 100 because Demo left the tier 4 spot (just about “private”) available for people to do 100 and they do just enough to stay in where i can’t even begin to justify booting people for “not making reqs”. If I stay the permanent GM, that’s gonna change regardless. ETA: of the 23 people that have seen the poll, only 15 have voted (and 2 of them aren’t in B-team, but in BIS. 9 people have FB accounts that are in the group and haven’t seen it. ETAA: people with \* are non fb-ers:) ---

I liked his comment to indicate i saw it, and added his voice to the fb poll. not that i particularly agree, in fact, your position along with @HKdirewolf and Strat, has changed my mind. My new problem is that i made the guild a democracy with this poll, and now i feel as if there will be mutany if i go with what’s right as opposed with popular opinion of inertia. No one likes change.
