I think the tribe is stagnating a bit. Sure, we do exceed 2,000 levels each week and collect our 20 diamonds. Having said that, we're not really seeing our cumulative levels increase from week to week. In my experience, a player with a full Ethereal island should easily be able to contribute 100 levels per week. Thirty such players would be able to hit a total of 3,000 for the week. In comparison, we've yet to exceed 2,200 and generally drop out of the Top Tribes list. In my mind, all our members should be progressively filling up their Ethereal islands (even if it's with single element monsters) and increasing the number of levels each is able to contribute each week. I'm unsure whether folks are losing focus on their Ethereal islands, on MSM in general, or just holding back for some other reason.

Who knows whether any of this really matters? Will BBB ever use Starpower for anything? Will there be any further MSM development where the all the diamonds we're earning can be put to use. Or has developer and player alike moved onto DOF making Tribal island a largely pointless exercise? All good questions without answers. But I do think our tribe could do better and I guess I'm frustrated on general principles that we are not.

I have 16 million shards, I could take us much much higher right now but the return on that investment is 0.

I personally see no reason for anyone to level up once the tribe hits 1500. Until now the only reason participate in Tribal Island is for the diamonds. Also. Consider that a vast majority of tribes have very few members and accumulate very little starpower. If it's to be used as a type of currency, the exchange rate should reflect that and we should be among the 1% if you will.
