I also understand the frustrations of having to cycle through the options for diff. items & even tho` it`s a bit bothersome cycling, I`m grateful at least that they thought to let us be able to do it, as they could I suppose have not given us the choice & did them randomly of even fixed, as this would involve even more effort to get the items & many more would/could be lost or wasted.
A little tip (or small thing), is to simply check all (Waypoints), steps, of the path the FS intends to take at that point & count how many of each item required before they start & delegate accordingly. (despite in our case, only 4 diff. membs. participated & the vast majority was done by myself). This is a useful, basic & logical approach to planning & doing the Adv`s.
* Hoping the poor memb. does`nt use the forum.! It turns out that their contribution was, 1 Dwarven Badge.! Then they collected & pushed us up to the 2nd stage.!
A couple of members had their contributions wasted as a result; 1 memb. lost/wasted their 2k of 2 diff. res. & an item, another lost/wasted an item. To some, 2k of any res. is nothing, as was the 100 Marble I lost/wasted on the same path, but to some, it is a lot.!

Would you now not agree, that that is indeed, quite messed up.! Lol. Tho`, I do appreciate, as with some others, it could well have been a great deal worse.!!
I would like to restate, that overall, I think the FS Adv., is, `A GOOD IDEA IN PRINCIPLE`, tho in it`s current form, I`m afraid I think it`s going to be a little used area for a lot of FS`s & will only be of any great benefit to the bigger & much more organised FS`s on the game & thus, not a good thing to encourage, enthuse and may even put off, a good number of smaller and/or new players & potential new players from enjoying the game much or even at all, thereafter.!
Another observation is that it can also encourage, `leeching`. (Some membs. just contributing 1 badge & leaving the rest, if any, to others, thus doing very little, the bare minimum, but also being able to receive the rewards, if any are gained).
Not very good for FS unity, tho it will indeed happen. Frankly, although not proud of it, it seems like a good idea to me in the circumstances. I will not be going for any of the Adv`s. anymore, (as they stand at least), any of my FS are/will be welcome to do them and if they do, I`ll make it clear that I will only be donating 1 item, (unless some are needed to get the FS over the line for any reward, in which case I`ll be happy to do however many are necessary).
(I also appreciate that given that these posts were only made today, if there is to be any response from any Mods at all, it is perhaps a little soon to hope for one. I shall have to try and be patient and wait & check back in some days, in vain hope.!).

I believe that I have been nice to Mods, I have endeavoured to be fair & balanced with my posts and expressing frustrations in a decent way.
I have not sad anything bad or untoward to or about any Mods, I have stated the little that I have seen on this forum & referenced a LOT, that I have seen on other forums. I have asked for direction on where to ask relevant questions on the thread, if not here and asked in general, as previous experience leads me to suspect, if there is little hope of getting any response at all or if I can hope for one.
No malicious or unkind intent to anyone but natural inquiry into the status of the forum.
Perhaps also, you may not have read all of my initial post, (which I cant blame you for) , as I`m quite aware that Mods are usually players, as I did mention, I have done a little Moderating myself, on a diff. game. I also saw and briefly considered replying to the Mod post advertised on this game.

I also sympathise with with some of your points, and I agree that we all DO want more space.! Lol, tho`, I must politely disagree with them thinking of changing how it is now. They could open up all of the spaces, (extreme), or make them a lot easier & quicker to open but I think it would then be too easy and really take away from the strategy of juggling & balancing what buildings to make, events & provinces to do for more efficient city growth.
Planning and juggling the space, Culture, Population, buildings & resources, along with Trading are the major integral components of the game and changing these much could easily make the whole game too easy and even boring.! Lol.
When you think about it, a certain amount of the fun is trying to activate/open unactivated/unopen parts. Once they are activated/opened, often there is no further fun or enjoyment over it, it`s then achieved/passed/opened/benefit gained and then taken for granted and fun moves on to trying to activate/open next whatever`s next. (Expansion, building/lvl, research or w/e).
Hope this is taken right way, just discussing here and sharing opinions, not trying to tell anyone what to do or what`s right or wrong.

The Mods are volunteers and do have a life outside of the game so be nice to them they are players just like you and me and are here if and when they can be. They do us a good service although they can't be here online 24/7 in case you have a problem.. be nice to them and maybe one will answer your questions when they get online.
