Official Mean Machine / Angry Sprockets Guild Chat (All Friends Welcome)

Hmm I like the idea a lot :slight_smile:

That is interestingā€¦ @MakoSipperā€¦ if you and @DonBoba are willing to do the leg work, I think that it could be a game changer in the way Guild Reqs are determined. It would definitely make MM a unique draw in that regard for the time being.

Numbers definitely need to be tweakedā€¦

Here is a revision:

1 trophy= 4 gp
5 seals= 2 gp
1.5k gold= 2 gp

Setup Results:

100 trophies, 1000 seals, 950k gold (1,000 GP)
300 trophies (800 GP), 1500 seals (200 GP), 200k gold - the player wants to save gold
200 trophies (400 GP), 1000 seals, 650k gold (600 GP)
150 trophies (200 GP), 1500 seals (200 GP), 650k gold (600 GP)

I am fairly confident in my mathā€¦ :wink:

I love those numbersame EFH!

The hard part is to explain to everyone how the system would work :confused:
And of course tracking static every week which I would need help with, but if @MakoSipper and I do it together then itā€™s not a problem.

But Iā€™m 100% down for this! What others think?

It looks better, indeed! Whereā€™s @Widgetmaker to double-check?

Some more examples:

200 trophies (400 GP), 1500 seals (200 GP), 500k gold (400 GP) <<< WAIT, isnā€™t that the end goal you mentioned? =)
150 trophies (200 GP), 1500 seals (200 GP), 650k gold (600 GP) <<< thatā€™s the ideal me =D

That is brilliant!! Serendipity at work!
I am completely down for this.
It continues to give each member of MM the ability to play THEIR wayā€¦

100% on board

Me, too! And itā€™s so easy to make excel calculate everything for us. All I have to do is update it like once a day or so.

Ok i think this by far the best solution that we can come up with. Grats on it Mako. And grats on your numbers @efh313 :slight_smile:
Mako can you describe this system in dicord? Like I said I wonā€™t have access there for next 30 hours?

So minimal requirements will be:
ā€¢ 100 trophies
ā€¢ 1000 seals
ā€¢ 200k gold
ā€¢ 1000 guild points.
Guild points distribution:
*1 extra trophy = 4GP
*5 extra seals = 2 GP
*1.5k extra donation = 2GP
Extra means GP are earned by passing the mentioned minimum requirements. Example getting 110 trophies means you earned 40 GPS from trophies.

@efh313 can you place the above in this topic first post? :slight_smile:

I will try to get on discord and assist Mako with the breakdown.

Iā€™ve posted it on discord, along with the examples weā€™ve mentioned.

Butā€¦ is this decided yet? You sounded like itā€™s decided, Don.

Another thing: what about Legendary Task weeks, and the week before them, in which we should save gold?

That thought came across my mind. We can just set for that saving week to finish red, purple and blue to 12/12 and rest to 9/12 like 2 previous times, without any gold or GP requirements for that week. And leave 100 trophies and 1000 seals active. Then the legendary week would be donate all gold same seals and trophies, and still no GP. Of course we shall see how the system goes and organize according to that.

As for deciding part, as seen is guild chat, everyone is down for increasing requirements. This fits that perfectly while also allowing members to focus on what they like :slight_smile:
@efh313 has another great suggestion for guild point system so go ahead efh, explain it :slight_smile:

OP has been edited to include our brand spanking new Guild Point System, or GPS! :wink:

Awesome description EFH! And as soon as you post the other part of our awesome plan, you can add it to the top too :slight_smile:

I also edited our announcement on guild chat in game. Iā€™ve put as much details as I could fit in xD

Thank you for the kind words! :wink:

Alright, so what I think is arguably the best part of this whole GPS is that it also creates a means by which you can quantify your worth and justify those weeks when you just need a breather. If you earn 300 trophies, collect 1500 seals, you would only HAVE to donate 200k gold, but your gold hoard will be overflowing. So, you go ahead and donate 650k, this will earn you an additional 600 GP (1600 GP total for week). Those 600 extra GP are not wasted, they will get banked. At any time, you may withdraw 20% of your reserved GP to satisfy your weekly req of 1000 GP.

For easy math, lets look at an example. You have been playing solidly for weeks exceeding weekly GP requirements and have banked 5,000 GP. This next week you are going on vacation and are worried about meeting reqs, no worries, you contact @DonBoba and make your withdrawal of 20%, 1000 GP and you need only meet the min reqs of 100 trophies, 1000 seals, and 200k gold!

Also another thing to consider. If you do have stored 5000 GP (which wonā€™t take long for anyone judging by everyones current weekly performances) if you do use the banked amounts they will be used completely but you can replace 20% of what you spent.
Example:
Say player A has 10000 GP stored. He/she had a busy week and only earned 500GP. He/she wonā€™t be kicked or warned for not reaching requirements. 500GP remaining will be withdrawn from their stored amount at a rate 1:5 (or 20%). So 500*5 = 2500GP stored will replace 500GP not earned. Player will still have 7500GP left in the bank :slight_smile:

This rate is to prevent the abuse of this system :slight_smile:

Iā€™d say we put a limit on the bank. Not higher than 10k, maybe lower.
