Why do we want to increase the donation requirement: We like crazy activity in the clan chat. We figured the more you donate, the more likely you chat. Also, we like to play “Wh ack-a-green-button”.
What we can’t do (Part 1): Force our members to play more. The amount of time you play should be dictated by your love of the game and by the time you have available, not by your clan.
What we can do: Recruit players who are more active and can achieve higher donation requirement.
What we can’t do (Part 2): Ask our current members to move to ICEBEARS. We are who we are because of them. While we reach for higher standards, we can’t kick who brought us here.
I have heard folks say it will be unfair to create two standards – one for current players and one for new recruits. I agree. But, what will be more unfair is changing the rules in the middle of the game. I think the new recruits will be happy as long as they get their donations filled in quickly.
Proposal:
The new donation requirement for current (as of the week of 15th April) members will be 100. The donation requirement for new recruits will be 200. The increase to 100 is proposed because only 2 out of the 38 active members didn’t achieve 100. 100 donations a week is really 3 requests a day. If you can’t make it, it almost means you have stopped playing and your purpose will be better served in ICEBEARS.
Vote closes this Sunday (21 April 2013) or when we get 22 agreements. For this to fail, there should be at least 22 disagreements.
