Alliance Officer Seeking Advice

Greetings, all! I have come here in search of words of wisdom! I recently became an officer in my alliance after playing for about 6 months, but my alliance has been aroundjust over a year and a half. Our alliance is pretty laid back doing every AW with 1-2 bgs, AQ daily, and bi-weekly SA to ensure we meet the minimum 265k. Three weeks ago, we had around 10 very active, 100k+ TBHR players which supplemented for the remainder of our alliance who were just casual players. Then two weeks ago, we lost 4 of those power players to other alliances, two of which came back. This week is an open/level everything up week for our SA, but we're only at 140k and more than likely not going to make the 265k cutoff. Myself and two others have put up 25k+, but most have barely reached 5-8k. Biggest issue is even when we kick members for inactivity, we get new players who contribute even less.
My question to you all: what sort of alliance rules and/or requirements have you seen in your time playing? Any minimums for SA, communication requirements, etc?
I'm trying to help my alliance work towards having fun while still progressing our champions, but with some players dragging us down, it dips morale into the tank.
Thanks!

Our core group of 10-15 members have been playing together for well over a year and they all support each other. They care about loyalty more than ranking so we all stuck and kept on working hard. Slowly we were able to attract a few good recruits, which followed up by a few more. Before we could even realize we were back to 30 members again. At the moment around 25 of the members are solid players and the rest are catching up.
My advice would be to decide for yourself what you want to do. If you care about the alliance and your team members just swallow the bitter pill and accept that those are hard times. If you think there is no future in this and you are wasting your time look for another group of people that are more serious and active.
There is no right choice though, you just have to go for it and stick to what your decide.
Good luck!
When it came to SA, I refused to join an alliance that held for SA. I knew I just didnt want that, even if it was beneficial. Every upgrade I did directly affected my champs I used, and I wanted them immediately to clear content. Not to mention crystals burn a hole in my pocket. That being said, I know reward wise, its beneficial.
if you want to start getting more serious and progressing faster, you'll have to explain to your members that not upgrading their champs and not participating in events means hindering the progress of everyone else. start with some basic requirements like participation in AQ (not just sitting at the beginning) and SA. we were having some trouble meeting SA when we first got bumped up to 265k, but after some cleaning house and explanation of the whys and hows of SA, we've been hitting it every week. if you have some hoarders in your alliance, make sure to tell them to open their crystals if you're not on pace to hit 265k.
use a chat app to communicate. make a main chat, officer chat, and separate chats for each bg. it's easier to remind people about events when the messages don't disappear. you can also use it to notify someone if you need them to move in AQ/AW.
although if your leader and other members aren't keen on moving past "casual", it might be a good idea to just find a more active alliance.
I would make your alliance a closed alliance (if not already) and spend some time recruiting. Recruiting sucks, but being more selective should make sure that you get the type of players that you want.
