I can't even remember the last time we hit 1000 with the old tribe but then I stopped paying attention long ago when it became clear that we weren't going anywhere.

Seeing as there's no way to vet applicants I can only imagine it really boils down to luck when it comes to getting good team players.

I suppose if you recruited players, set hard and fast rules for minimum contributions, maintained a line of communication, monitored progress and booted and replaced the weak links you could really put up some numbers. But that sounds like a lot of work

50 is a great contribution. The maths of 1500 (max reward) are such that 50 apiece gets us there. With 4 members leveling to 100 that means the other 26 just need to average about 42. I'd like to think that's doable for anyone who has been playing a while, but I could be wrong. I've probably got 3 billion food, 3 billion coins, and 25 million shards now so it's hard to remember what it was like when resources were scarcer. I assist my son's game but I did so with hindsight and a plan to get his ethereal island as full as possible as fast as possible.
