That's a really good point, you'll only get 1 popup when you log in no matter how many of them were triggered between sessions.

Interesting -- I think you are right. I only play on mobile, but just logged into the PC version to confirm
.
Re the pop-up, I'm actually not sure if it comes up at all in PC. But it would be helpful to the mobile players.

Have you heard an old expression that goes, "Don't teach your grandmother to suck eggs"? Look it up. I know how to access my phone's calculator while keeping the app open. Apparently you don't.
I'm not saying your guild doesn't have good people, but you apparently have reason not to trust them or this Idea wouldn't have occurred to you. (And I've written so many more than 600 posts. You have no idea.) And I do surround myself with good people...in real life. And the people I have associated with in-game are pretty decent folk, too. Oh, and it isn't a "proposed" scam, I'm just pointing out the position you're potentially putting yourself in by not checking numbers yourself. You're too lazy to do the math yourself? Then suffer the consequences. Play smart or play stupid, your choice.
That's because you're new to the Forum and don't grasp how easily confused the majority of players are. Believe me, it doesn't take much.

Just my experience, but when an OP starts to defend his proposal as dilligent as you are, it is bound for doom. A really good idea stands on it's own.

This is not true. Don’t make assumptions about my motivations. As I said I think profit is a player construct but giving players the numbers to calculate their profit / ROI is useful. My fp stash goes up, so I have a positive ROI but to the extent I can get more information within the game, that is great.
Why do you think you are so much better than other people?
It’s almost like my idea personally offends you.

That is not entirely true. On mobile that only applies to non-friend non-guild mate non-neighbors. If the gb level is locked and they are a friend, guild mate, or neighbor, then you can click on their avatar from the player's list and sleect great building and you can access any players gbs if they are in the list. On PC you can access anyone and everyone's gbs at any time. this one situation happens to fall into PC vs mobile difference category.

Not sure that is true. I just got two pop-ups when returning to my city from working GBG.
I'm still on of the train of thought, that if you aren't following the gbs you are contributing to and/or don't know what your reward will be when you contribute (such as 1.9 thread).
If you are asking for something because the situation you find yourself in often enough to derive this request is:
then I will need to take a corallary page from Agent327 and suggest you need to adjust you style of play for the game. Why would you take the chance of getting bumped when you contribute? Why did you not do the simple subtraction to verify the requested 1.9 contribution is the correct amount before you contirbuted?
Nate-

It’s subtraction and division, right?
Sorry I can’t do that math in my head for all possible combinations that occur in the game.

Subtract the two numbers given in the bar (total to level - total contributed) then divide the result by 2.
You only need to do the math for one spot at a time, The one spot that is next to be claimed and staring at your from your scree. The one spot you are thinking of claiming and need to verify you will be locked in if you claim it. I would ask how many others would claim a spot without checking they would be locked in, but there will be so few it is not worth asking.

You must be in an OCD guild. I probably point out more cases than anyone else in my guild of 1.9 spots being posted that aren't safe. Its not a regular occurrence, probably 1-2x per month.
@Johnny B. Goode already said that most players get confused easily. If he is correct, then the two step math probably will be difficult for them to do in their head. While I personally hold players in higher regard, I do think math in your head can be difficult.

Don't know what this is, but any new notifications are bad. Notifications in general are bad, everything (not just foe, other sites) seems to notify your phone or whatnot for trivial things.

this wouldn’t be a new notification. It modifies the text in an existing in-game pop up to give some additional information

I like this idea. But not for 1.x or swap threads. I would find this most helpful on leveling threads were I simply contribute all the FPs I have in my Forge Point Bar without thinking about it for too long but I must delare that I don't usually mind whether I have a got a Forge Point return becuase I am in them mainly for BPs but it would be a nice way to save a few clicks and a little bit of time by having it on the pop-up.

I do expect x1.90 for any of my GB positions. But not more. Especially, not from my guildies. If a guildie wants to prematurely lock him/herself with more than x1.90, I happily reimburse extra fps. Because, any position filled without my announcement works in my favor. In exchange I am happy to reimburse. This doesn't happen often. But, every time I flip one of my GBs, I check if a guildie paid more than x1.90 (roughly and only big differences caused by external snipers, not a few fps)... Sometimes external snipers flip my GBs. Then, it gets harder for me to check reimbursement cases. For example I login for daily collection, I think the GB is giving the daily reward whereas it was actually flipped. Indeed, it is possible to check the GB history. But, I don't do it for all my GBs all the time (would take too much time). So, it is possible to miss reimbursement cases. Then, the proposed idea could enable my contributors to cross check if they were sniped on my GBs. If they can detect it easily, they can ask for reimbursement too. This idea would sligtly improve the gameplay for me and my guildies.

LOL. I've been asked for reimbursement occasionally by contributors to my GBs. I think it's hilarious. Obviously, they don't get anything from me. If they want a reward position badly enough to overdonate for it, that's their decision and has nothing to do with the GB owner.
