What if ... ?

It really bothers me that we come in last place every week! I'm not surprised, considering our charity is not as easily identifiable as the other factions' charities. But can we do anything about it?

I've been crunching some numbers, and I have an idea! But I can't do it alone!

Right now, the tree is at 169,015, the forge is at 126,560, and us Watch members are at 111,490. Simple subtraction tells us we're roughly 58,000 points behind the freaking trees. That's a lot of points, but if we stop and think a moment:

If one new player joined the Watch, and played only the web games for this week and weeks past (not event counting bonus points!) they could gain us (5 + 10 + 25 per game) * (5 games a week) * (3 weeks) = 600 points that we otherwise would not get.

Furthermore 400 of those points are points current members of the freaking trees can't get, because they've already gotten them during the weeks they first came out!

So with that math ... if we can convince just 100 new users to join, we'd be in first place! There must be more than 100 Watch members total, right? Just get one friend to join! They don't have to be local to Rochester, either. Anyone can play the web games! If you can get two friends, that means you cover for someone who doesn't read this or doesn't care! If you get three, that means there only need to be 33 more Watch members like you, and we'll be in first place!

We can do this! Who Watches the Watchmen?
