Annatar dear :-S ,
I would like to start by saying yes, our goal is still level 1500.
As far as I'm concerned, I assure you leveling up to level 80-something is far from being a burden for me. My ethereal island has been finished for quite a while, so I seriously have nothing to do with my shards except for feeding the tribal bogwart.
I do not have an answer for all your questions about why people don't level up more than they can afford, but I would like to remind you this is a GAME happy-pillow-fight-games-smiley-emoticon ! It's meant to be fun, it's not meant to cause anger or feel like a burden. Level up to what you can or want to, and please ENJOY the game!

Hi guys :)
I see several reactions revealing some frustration, when I felt myself some frustration too. Interesting to share :)
I fully understand that some players don't always have time to play, that some are in the low levels, and cannot contribute significantly yet. I have no problem with that so please no one should feel the target of the discussion.
Certainly not the tribe chief who does not have an easy job with players leaving the tribe, others applying without giving any information about their capabilities/level, periods with missing members, etc...
But still I think Annatar asks a very interesting question on which I would like to have the opinion of as many as possible: what is the goal of this tribe Koolmonsters? What is our strategy, what do we aim for?
Some suggestions:
- aim to be 30 members all the time
- aim to have 1 monster of each kind
- reach 1500 every week
- aim as high as possible every week
- avoid any player not levelling
- accept all requests, it is fun to get to play with new people
- that everybody contributes to what he/she can, whatever final score (meaning no real objective?)
What is YOUR objective? :)

I love all your suggestions, Norwayoflife! My personal goal is to give my bogwart everything I have on Mondays after work. I forgot to remind everyone that no matter what level the tribe reaches, we still earn starpower accordingly. For example: if the tribe reaches level 1400, we won't get more diamonds than if we reach level 1200, but we will earn more starpower two-thumbs-up-smiley-emoticon !

Dear michou3 , Thanks for reminding me it's only a game. I'm sorry I came across rather strongly, I tend to get a little carried away, and I had been collecting frustration for quite a while. Thanks for hearing me out. Yes, it's only a game, and I must try not to care so much. But I also appreciate norwayoflife , 's suggestion for goals for our tribe. It gets easier when we have clear goals and know what to do. I agree to all of his suggestions. I enjoy getting the Star Power, because I plan to buy many rares with it. I also appreciate the gems, since they help me upgrade my final castles, and can even help me by buying the 2nd lvl ethereals I'm unable to breed. So for me both of these Things are kinda important. But I will calm down now and not stir up more trouble. Thanks.  |

Hello dear friends! s7926
It has been brought to my attention that Equuswizard has shown no progress during the past MONTHS of being part of our tribe. He does not seem to be playing MSM anymore, just feeding his oaktopus to more or less the same level (20-25) every week. I was wondering what you all think about releasing him to make room for ACTIVE players who are still interested in this game. There are currently no players in the waiting list, but that can quickly change. I'll be waiting for your opinions, and I'll also be keeping an eye on our mammott who hasn't leveled up so far this week.

I would have a thought here before we make any more changes to tribal island. I was watching this thread, but I didn't want to share my opinion until I felt brave enough to speak my mind here.  First I would have a question for all of you: What is the purpose of the tribal island in the game? Is it to make more diamonds? Is it to make more starpowers? Is it to be in a community in the game? Is it to be between friends?  If it is to make more diamonds and starpowers, by all means, release all who don't contribute. If being member of a tribe means to use the otherwise useless shards made by the ethereal monsters, then it shouldn't matter who levels to where; the only goal is where I level with my monster, putting the shards in good use. If tribal island is to be between friends, then we should release everybody who we don't know, and make the most of ourselves, among our selves.  If the goal is to have a full tribe with all different monsters, then we already have exactly that... Or do we want to compete to a "TOP TRIBE" position? Then we should release all who don't give ALL they can.  As Annatar and NOL said: we should decide what we want, set a goal... and act accordingly. I'm a little bit bitter about tribal island, because MY goal was to be between friends, friends I know for a long time, the friends we have started to play this game together a long long time ago... In the mean time we have made  friends but we have lost friends, also because of tribal island. I would like to point it out, that most of us were friends BEFORE tribal island came to existence, and with tribal island this friendship gained a new meaning - I'm not sure I like this new meaning, though. Maybe so, tribal island helped us to stay together, but it helped us to turn on each other a few occasion, too... But this is only my own feelings about the matter.  As Mich pointed out, it is a GAME, we shouldn't be dead serious about it. I really would like to hear others' personal GOALS with being a member in a tribe. What do you gain from it? What does it mean to you being the member of THIS particular tribe? Should we really care what others do?  |

i thought our goal was to have 1 of each monster who leveled to 50 so that we reached 20 diamonds each week. that way it is fair for everyone. if there are some in tribe who want to do more that is up to them to increase star power. we were small but we grew not every one has grown. some are stagnant others are showing progress. i don't lvl past 50 because of those that don't show progress. i wouldn't mind going above 50 to help out the smaller players as long as their lvls increased on regular basis. but i won't cover those who could but won't lvl up. this is just the way i play it so that i don't get up set over a game. when i was starting out here i busted my a__ to increase my lvls as i felt bad having to have others carry me. on a different note i won 100 diamonds in scratch off on each of my other 2 msm games this last week. still no ethereals moved yet. only have 1 ethereal in 1 game none in other. play games same time same way but they are so different. 1 game is way ahead of the other 1 even tho it was started at same time.

The smiley is still there, it just not going to pop up at will when you write the word "busted"... There was a couple other ones like the "agree" and "help" smileys I had to change the code text otherwise whenever we would write those words they would be automatically replaced with the corresponding emoticons. Good catch, dear! happy-pillow-fight-games-smiley-emoticon |

:-/ in my own opinion I thought we were aiming for a thirty tribe going for 1500 as much as possible meeting new friends a fun for me since I found the game an u guys an trying to do as best as each tribe member could I usually can't go past level 18 yet cause I use all my shards by the time I've hit that level and I've only got one monsties on ethereal and three on the reg islands I need to quit goofing off and wasting my food on my smaller monsties while I could be getting those three monsties to ethereal I am busting my butt trying to be as helpful to the tribe as I can be but also at the same time saving my coins so I can get that last island then I can focus again on the rest of my islands so that's why I still have three ethereal on one game and just the one on the other game cause I keep using that ones food for my tribey monstie along with my coins x_x

I love being able to help others on the tribe achieve their goals with the tribal rewards that we’ve received each week, both forum members and new people who we don’t “know”. However, this applies only to those who are actually working on improving their islands, not to those who ignore their islands all week and only come in to grab their rewards while giving very little in return week after week. We’ve had some success with newbies recently whose islands we can’t see, yet see their progress by their steady progression in their leveling. I’m happy with this as I’m able to guess that they’re actively playing their games and are truly trying to improve their islands. This is how I’ve always envisioned tribal island to be and, I suppose, I always will. Look at how much Dani and Lemony Snicket have progressed in their leveling. Slowly but surely they care enough about their games to consistently improve them, which transfers to caring about the tribe as well.
I’ve been done with my ethereal island for awhile now, so I can continue to easily give 85 levels to the tribe each week using shards. The one week I had donated 100 levels, it was because we’d lost one member who had two monsters and I wanted to see how much I could give to replace those lost levels. I frequently ran out of shards and had to use both food and coins, which I don’t like to do because I’m still tweaking my other islands, so I’d like to hang onto them as much as I can until I’m done with those islands too. If we fall short of the 20 weekly diamonds, so be it. However, I must admit that I’m of the type that once we hit a certain goal, I’d prefer not to fall back so what I’m saying is that I’d like to continually persue the 20 diamond goal each week if possible. I realize that not everyone shares my viewpoint, but this is what my viewpoint is at this time. I may get the itch at some point to go tribe hopping and join one of those tribes that want contributions over a certain level but for right now anyway, I’m just glad to be able to help those members who make a GENUINE effort.

! I've been avoiding the forum lately because I too have noticed the daily spammers...
just popped in to see if I could work out how long I have been playing with these monsters for but of course there was the previous forum so I will have to take a guess
