Me again. I also wanted to describe a catch-22 problem that might be preventing us from getting to 1500. Personally, I could probably kick in another 5-10 levels from where I'm at. However, I'd be effectively paying for those levels with savings rather than weekly earnings. The problem with dipping into saving each week is that eventually those reserves will run out. Therefore, I only want to tap my reserves if it looks like it would put us over the top for the week. Otherwise, it seems more prudent to use those resources for next week.

The catch-22 is if everyone is holding back a bit based on the same rationale, we might be cumulatively shortchanging the tribe by 50-100 levels or more. Given we're less than 200 levels away from 1500, this pattern could prevent us from getting over the top. Tribe communication would be the ideal way to manage this issue, but unfortunately there's no in game means to accomplish this. I'm not really sure how many of our members are reading this forum either. My only other suggestion to tackle this problem is for everyone to stretch themselves a bit on blind faith.
