Against my better judgme- Uh, I mean, after careful considerat- Alright, I'll square it with you. Very little deliberation went into my decision to make a go of building up an active fellowship again, although the idea had been in the back of my mind for a few months. What prompted me to finally do so was the unexpected joining of three active and delightful players, and not having to start completely from scratch is great.
With our current roster of five, we will be averaging four chests in every tournament, but since I believe the most important aspect of playing a game is to enjoy playing it, my demands for participation in the tournies is fairly low. I've set the baseline contribution at fifty points from every player each week to get a feel for what is reasonable.
The level of activity of a player is worth more than their score, in my not so humble opinion, and there is no minimum requirement on rank. Cities of all sizes are welcome, as are any boosts. Given how wildly the production of goods and amount expended varies from player to player, it is an effort in relative futility to strive for a perfect balance that makes outside trading obsolete. Would I prefer a balanced group? Sure, but that is far from my main focus.
Respect for the views of your fellows is necessary, no matter how significantly they might differ from your own. Arguments are fine, but I won't tolerate insults or personal attacks being cast, nor belittling or patronizing mannerisms.
Neighborly aid must be bestowed upon all members at least three times a week, to help cultivate nonverbal camaraderie and let me know you're alive and kicking. Speaking of nonverbal, chatting is not mandatory. Chat if you'd like to, but you certainly don't have to.
Anybody that takes part in the game discussion section of the forums already knows just how much I loathe cross-tier trades, and those along with unfair trades will not be allowed except in a limited and rare, absolutely need the goods in a extremely tight spot kind of way, not regularly to support a lack of adequate production of all three tiers of your boosted goods.
If this sounds like a good fit for you (and you think you could put up with my blunt nature), feel free to jump aboard. I have the membership acquisition open, as I firmly believe in giving everybody a chance.
I wish you all well and thank you for your time, regardless of whether you join us. *tips hat and bows low*
