Re the other thread, do you think it a good idea for everyone (who can afford it) to donat 1 small merchant of mixed resources per day to the lowest scoring member.
Please vote and add any further suggestions etc.

My only concern is that newer players are further away, this means longer journeys and it might tie up more merchant ships, of which I have few spare.

I can't decide what to vote, I really like the idea in principal but i'm not sure how it would work out in practice. would the recipient end up with vast quantities of one resource they dont need ? or what would happen if the designated person was in ocean 42 ( only an example i'm not saying people in ocean 42 are noobs ;-) It'd be an enormous round trip to deliver 200 res that someone may or may not need by the time it gets there. I think that with an alliance as active and well integrated as ours we could rely on a system where anyone needing extra resources could post asking for help ( maybe have a section on the forums specifically for it ) and any of us in a position to help them could send any spare materials we had. i know a couple of us have asked for help in the past and i dont think anyone has been refused.
EDIT: ive just read shendemiar's post on the other thread for this and he says it much clearer than i did.

I wouldn't mind supplying resources for ppl who want to colonize my area. In fact I have offered large daily shipments to those who colonize near me(to no avail). I can expect to have 4 SM's in transit all the time to keep up with this rule. Right now I can't keep my colonies fed and do all my raiding because I lack SMS's. I think If I could send stoners(say 25-30?)once a week that would be easier for me since I often have more LW's that I'm not using. If we decide the resources are the better choice then, of course, I will happily send out my ships.

To clarify.
Ideally everyone would send 1 small merchant everyday with 66 gold, 66 stone and 66 lumber. It would be voluntary, so you only send what you can afford and only if you have enough ships spare. The recipient would be the lowest scoring play in the alliance and they would be expected to use the resources primarily build structures rather than military units so their score would grow reletively quickly thus passing the lowest score onto another alliance member. This way the prize would be distributed amongst a few players.
Newcomers to the alliance would have to go through a probationary period before they would be eligible for the bounty, say a month of good conduct or something.

I don't have a problem with that, but having just checked and I am the lowest scoring person at current, I am in ocean 6, who has the shortest travel time to me?
Also I will list my island as it stands,
Main House (Level 12) Gold Mine (Level 19) Stone Quarry (Level 17) Lumber Mill (Level 17) Laboratory (Level 11) Barracks (Level 13) Harbour (Level 11) Storehouse (Level 13) Stone Wall (Level 11) Watch-Tower (Level 7)
Stone Throwers (73) Spearfighters (286)
Ships Large Warships (5) Large Merchant Ships (4) Small Warships (7) Small Merchant Ships (8)
Spear (Level 3) Shield (Level 4) Bow (not researched) Sail (Level 8)
I have upgraded some of my island buildings to protect me as distance wise, reinforements are not that close.
Due to my inexperience, if you were to send these goods to me, I would need to be advised where to upgrade next, aside from gold/lumber mines
Note that the nearest memebr to me is danielB at 605

IMO I'd say gold and lumber should be pushed to lvl 20 now, then stonewall up to lvl 20 (if u wanted stone mine to lvl 20 too)
I'd probably lay of building anything for a while then till you had a big enough army/fleet to push for a colo ship

Keep building spears 24/7 and use the spare resources after that to max out gold mine and lumber mill.
Then get the wall up.
