Wondermail aka Endless Wonders
Wondermail, is a proven concept to distribute knowledgepoints between wonders within a guild.
The result for those participating is always either neutral or positive but participant will never
"lose" knowledge points.
Let me start with the reason why we do this.
Wonders have a concept that rewards players who assist with the "constuction" of a wonder.
note: sorry for the dutch picture for the lack of a better one
As you can see by the example above there are a lot of both knowledge points and runes to be
earned in this wonder.
When the blue bar is completly filled players will be awarded these rewards based on the position the finished at.
So what you need is a good way to distibute knowledgepoints to achieve this result, this is where
the wondermail concept comes in
How does it work?
I usually start the mail with a message like this:
Lets say our guild consists of only 4 players, Player A who started the mailing with the post above and players B, C and D.
Since this post is started by Player A, player B, C, and D are now able to respond to this mail.
Player D has a Golden Abyss and decide to respond.
Player D now reopens the mail again and sees he is still the first to respond to this mail, he will visit
Player A's Sanctuary and will put 5 knowledge point in this wonder.(no more nor less)
Since player D is now the last one to have posted players A, B and C (yes player A as well) are now able
to reply again to this mail, by having an unordered chain, there is always someone able to respond and therefore
this mail is never broken.
When either player A, B or C responds to this mail, player D will gain his 5 knowledge points back. creating a neutral
baseline where is has neither lost nor gained anything.
Except when a wonder has been completed, if he/she is one of the best contributors he/she will recieve a reward
In the end a mailing will look like this
Starting with the bottom post to the top
-Player A started the mail Choosing sanctuary as the wonder to recieve Knowledpoints at.
-Player B choose his Golden Abyss and donates 5 knowledgepoints at Player A's Sanctuary.
-Player A reply's again choosing his Sancuary once more and donates 5 Knowledpoints at Player B's Abyss.
-Player C joins in and chooses his Book of Secrets and donates 5 Knowledpoints at player A's Sanctuary.
-Player A Comes in once again with his Sanctary and donates 5 Knowledpoints at players C's Book of Secrets.
-Player D returns with his Golden Abyss and donates 5 Knowledpoints at player A's Sanctuary.
-Player B joins as well and chooses his Needles of the Tempest donating 5 KP at player D's Abyss.
-ect.
-ect.
-ect.
This can go on forever untill all players are out of wonders to level.
TIP: The mailing tends to become slow and sluggish after 250 reply's, reset the mail by creating a new one, starting where the old one ended.
TIP: If a player accedently deletes his mail, you need to reset the entire mail like after 250 reply's to add the player back.
enjoy.

Please use THIS order of appraoch, this way when 2 people reply at almost the same time it doesnt
get messed up, so reply first, check and then send 5 KP to the wonder of choice of the correct player..
