So it's a combination of a player's army AND base development that is important. Leaderboards only expose a guild's ability to reach tier 10 and beyond for BS events. It's my guess that as BN evolves, guilds that focus only on BS event success will fall apart. The guilds that focus on community building and base development first will last longer and be more successful in the long run. These primary and secondary goals create a syngery that improves all members and encourages more active play. (read: BS success is actually a tertiary goal that is met because of our primary and secondary goals.)

Apple's image/culture = Your guild's social dynamics

iPhones, iPads, etc. = Boss Strike success

I'll finish with some anecdotes, because I always see people advertising their guilds without any context to the community they've allegedly created. At the last 3x SP weekend, we had multiple players falling over each other competing to spam wimps on other member's bases. Other players spammed wimp and light chem tank formations that yielded something like 8,000 SP per fight with boosts. How many guilds players dump 100+ tanks for the good of the guild. I don't exepect to see that in a guild that isn't looking at all aspects of the players account.
