Yeah, I understand all that although i'm quite surprised that there wasn't much appetite for it.

So what you're saying then, is that what I have proposed is already in place just that there have been very few takers?

This is really quite saddening.

I wonder where all the people who complain about the same old bloodlines etc are?  I'd imagine they'd be the first to get involved.

I'd still like to see if it would happen if there were a collective agreement of the leadership of all cities.

I think it's easier to complain than to actually make an effort.

alas this is true Cromwell but what have we got to lose by trying?

Totally take Grins point onboard about his initiative in the windy city, but again, i'd love to see this advertised as a collective agreement across all cities.

what have we to lose?

I hadn't realised that it was a collective idea, I was under the(apparently mistaken) impression it was in the windy city only.

totally agree with Wheeler, it's a fabulous initiative and a shame more aren't taking it up

It was originally in place in Chicago and then encompassed across the country!

appreciate the clarification.

We all embraced it Zebedee.

We have three such crews in Seattle already, after Wheeler set up today. I can't speak for Wheeler or Boozer as they are both ward of Ragnarok but certainly Vanya assures me he's very happy with the opportunity and is enthusiastic about his future here.

Then I shall retract and applaud the inventive and innovative work being done.

It's a credit to those who implemented it if you may indulge me in saying so.

I don't know how your seeing this. But what I'm seeing is "earn your 5(or however many) man crew " competition. Sounds like fun honestly.

Grin-08 do your 5 man crews eventually have the opportunity to acquire a larger HQ or is it end of the line at 5?

Mr_J- if you prove yourself you will be allowed to upgrade the size of your HQ. All it takes is hardwork and dedication

Well having very little knowledge of the 5 man crews thats not all bad. But does the 5 mil a week continue or will it stop once you go past 5 man hq? Duggee

I guess that comes down to the deal you struck with your District head.

Well Duggee. That makes sense. Thanks for clarifying.

ah so 5 mill per week to kick up to the head of district?

This is a brilliant business model without doubt, but not what I had in mind.

I would give them all a clean slate, for a week, and see who could hack it at the end.
