Hi @fellonious, good to read from you. I can see how it seems chatty and childish what I write. Our guild is not about "free", it's about "fhree", and that's a pun for a reason, and anything but childish. It's just that everyone in the guild can see what will happen if certain conditions occur.
The amount needed is totally dependent on what other guild members do or don't do. And as much as I want you to join us, I would have to kick someone else out to accommodate you. And I don't do that whimsically, but as best I can based on the procedures that have been developed. Those who have been with us longer will be favored in a pre-determined way so that everyone can see how we handle the scarce guild spots. Activity is trumps.
At the risk of repeating myself: 8190 DEC is already not enough, IF the account with the next more points actively contributes something to our buildings again before the end of our current auction. If that doesn't happen, the amount doesn't matter as long as you have already contributed only a single DEC. And even if it's hard to believe, the many accounts that wanted to stay in the guild before you didn't even do that.
And now I hope you can stand up to our weakest contributor. That will be decided at the end of this brawl based on numbers, regardless of what I personally think. In math we trust. Please ask if there is still something that might be unclear.
Here is some slice of !PIZZA and I hope you like it.
PS: And we might even ask @m-mirage-e to intentionally free up their guild spot to lower the tension that this auction currently presents. See past notes for more on that.
I understand completely and I apologize for appearing to take any statements or actions personally. The system in place forces members to participate or be history. Its a great mechanism and you run it systematically, I thank you for your effort and am thankful for the opportunity to be a part of it all.
You are welcome, no need for apologies for me. All chats and social media tend to make us read things that are not meant. I have learned to recognize needs, even if I do not always know how to meet them all. I am glad you are here. I wish you that the auction succeeds for you, because there has been no one joining for a long time who is as determined as you are, and once you are in third last place, until now it is easy to stay. Activity counts.
Here is some more !PIZZA, and I wished !invest_vote would work for this account already. Looks like I need some more patience.
