Jocelyn Lemru:
"base" is the 1 point level of guild membership?
'Base' is the buy-in to ownership of the 'Junior House'. If memory serves it's a 10 point advantage [1] split among the crew, all of y'all have already chipped in 1 point each (msg #28 for Jocelyn, Brodak, and Mel). Then there was an additional Advantage called Independent Income we could buy into which would make the House self-sustaining (sort of).
Jareth had to abstain last time, but he'll chip in one point this time. Maybe 2, not sure if I've really got anywhere else to put the extra points right now.
Sure, I could bank them... but points unspent are points unused.
1 - I'll go thread diving after work/tomorrow and find all relevant info. Some of it was in my PMs with Narrator.
