Well, I imagine that you're correct, but I'd still like to hear it from a red name. Actually, it's the specific word "member" that's tripping me up - I think of the "members" of an SG as being the people who belong to it, whether they have 1 toon apiece or 12.
If the grant is 20,000 prestige per toon, this is a pretty dumb reward. Not because the prestige isn't welcome, but because it's essentially a flat 3,000,000-per-SG gift wrapped inside a catalog of pointless busy work (creating lots of extra toons to stuff the SG roster). Why not just give each existing supergroup 3 million prestige?

I'm not sure they could code it to be tied to the accounts that the characters are on; they've always mentioned having problems with that in terms of increasing the size of the SG membership (i.e., some people have suggested raising the cap by making it limited to 75 accounts instead of characters, and they mentioned having difficulties doing that -- and even now that they've raised the cap, it's not account based).

This is a bit different in that it's a one-time data mining operation. All they need to do is produce a list of supergroups and bonuses at one point in time. It doesn't have to be done on an ongoing basis and it can take as long as it needs to. If they have problems mapping toons to accounts at this level, I'd be very surprised.
