UPDATE: it’s back for 2020!
UPDATE: and again for 2021
From 2019:
This is the most interesting offer mechanic I’ve seen since I started playing, and I bet others will have thoughts on it too:
When purchased, the whole alliance chat gets a notification:
And you got an inbox notification with their name and the gems:
Share your thoughts!
EDIT: @princess1 wrote a message you can copy/paste into alliance chat to thank purchasers without pressuring those who prefer not to spend money:
princess1:
As the leader I felt it was important to post this in our game chat:
PLEASE DON’T FEEL OBLIGATED TO BUY THIS FOR EVERYONE! Some of us have room in our budget, or aren’t free-to-play players. It’s fun for us, so just enjoy!
EDIT: @Ozy1 added a post in Ideas & Feature Requests where you can vote to support more offers like this!
I just came across it and purchased it only for 1 reason because it gave my allience a reward as well which I thought was a nice and appreciated gesture.
SG, you should offer more of these offer to allience leaders for them team members. It would allow leaders to show appreciation of loyalty and commitment.
Little cheap offerings like this is great.
Thanks.

For those who’ve been playing more than a year, was this offered before? I couldn’t find a thread mentioning it.
EDIT: thanks @Witch for confirming this is new this year.

I liked this offer quite a bit. I would have liked it even more, if the gift of gems for the alliance members had been a bit more… at least 100 gems.

Although, if SG is open to suggestions maybe allow the option of anonymous gifts from within the alliance. I noticed one member cautioning others not to feel obliged to reciprocate.

This offer is terrible. Our alliance chat is so full of love and thanks. I have to womit.
Ok, seriously. This offer is a brilliant idea. Ok value for the buyer and a nice gift for the people you play with.

I think the public disclosure piece is both the most brilliant marketing component, and most socially awkward/peer pressure inducing component.

Very cool idea. A couple of my alliance mates have gotten it so far, we’d be more than thrilled to have you!

Loved it. Good value and a nice little way to send appreciation to my team. Wouldn’t be playing if it weren’t for their support.

I love it.
Nothing like an egalitarian deal.
It would be even sweeter in the future if they donated a portion of deals to charity… that would be very nice.
