Just for the record this is not an attack or even a complaint even if it seems like one. What they have done is absolutely brilliant and there is nothing wrong with it. If those whom have positions on the planet and council are happy with the arraignment than itGÇÖs a win-win for all sides
I was just commenting because I was so impressed by the strategy and maneuvering that brought us to this point.

Regarding money, we know how much everyone pays in, and we should know whenever an enforcement action has to take place. Therefore, we should know about how much money is going in and out of the operation, and hence, we should know how good of a deal we are or are not getting. These are all topics that the Council should discuss in the appropriate area.

Yeah sure sounds good.
I had an idea that once a month a top notch team can attack each district to see if people still really need to be on pfc or are just farming isk.
This would be at the 'discretion' of said top notch team and would have to be assembled by someone who isn't going to fk about.

Mr. nuts I'm going to have to ask you to submit a sample for testing. This is part of our random testing program to ensure all players are clean and free of performance enhancing...substances.
You can expect the results back in less than 24 hours. If cleared, you may continue and good luck in the upcoming season.
If you fail the test, you will be subject to sanctions that could lead up to a 50 game suspension and usurping Rampage on the daily 'get trolled' list for 1st time offenders.
good luck to you sir and please wash your hands, lots of germs floating around currently

Planning, planning, planning, you have to plan your moves in advance so it doesn't hit you and your players as a surprise when you get ready to take that next step.
Do the math on what it would cost to fund ONE district under attack outside PFC. One that was under attack four days a week, buying clones to replenish, paying ringers if needed.
This is a cheap way into PC and training at the top level at the same time.

Your right we didn't plan for this because we didn't think of this... but think about it you have 60 members and a 25% tax rate, we have 40 members and a 10% tax rate. So even if you had a 10% tax you'd make more than us but you have 25% tax, more than double of ours because we don't believe in robbing our members blind. And fyi we have been attacked by several outside corps trying to take our district from us even though we are in pfc so we know what it is like |

Just a quick referee moment: 25% tax isn't "robbing members blind". Different corps work in different ways. It's a bar of measure between capitalism and socialism, how much is skimmed off the top to create the services that benefit members. Everyone should be fully aware up front what the tax rate is of the corp they're joining, and what it's used for.

And fyi we have been attacked by several outside corps trying to take our district from us even though we are in pfc so we know what it is like I'm just trying to help you learn from our past mistakes, not arguing. Our tax rate is what it is not to rob our players, but because we know it is VERY expensive to run a successful military campaign. We tried PC once before, we were not ready as a corp, and especially in the wallet dept. We have the tax where it is to do what we planned on months ago. All players understand why it is what it is.
I can give you some ideas on fund raising sometime, some that have worked very well for us in the past. Hit me with a mail if you want.

TCR runs at 8.5% I might send x amount of funds your way as these districts are an asset to the alliance as a whole. and I don't have anything to spend ISK on say having 5 Mill sent to you every week? TCR would still profit easily.

u guys gotta revise your prices a bit. 150mil to get into pfc? i understand that much for a regular district, but pfc?

eh. they prefer to field their own team as far as i know. cant blame them.
overall, the exp for us is lacking. we are smaller, none of us are rich, and our tax is at 10% which quite frankly doesnt earn u much, and we are looking to fight. but as u know, its hard for smaller, not-as-good-or-as-rich corps out here in the frigid cold of MH >_>

no, i was aware of the alliance they are in when i launched the attack.
im not bitching about the use of ringers. i chalk it up to them assuming we were coming hard for them and their district. which, if they did, then their ceo is stupid or incompetent or both, as i sent a message to him telling him we werent gonna re-attack if we won.
well, we didnt win. *shrugs*
but if thats how GMD regularly runs their pc's, then disregard everything ive said. (i say that bc there were very few gmd in that match. but thats how it goes sometimes ;) )

Chaotic-Intent: Alliance members have always been allowed to fight on PFC districts. And Top Men always fights mixed teams. Exemplars is our largest force US-side, so they generally make up a decent portion of our matches. They're practicing same as the rest of us.
Once the new PFC thing is under control, there may be districts available. I am not sure if there will be an initial placement cost. There might not be, provided the weekly contribution to the enforcement fund is provided. (I am not a money person, I don't deal in money.)
Right now, we're trying to get the existing folks settled into the community to chat about how PFC will operate. Once we have that, we'll put out a method for you to get on a waitlist, and then we'll fill any open spots down that list. Ideally.
I'd like to be your CPM1 candidate

once again, i dont care. i only brought it up bc i assumed that they were under the impression that we were coming for their district. which we werent.
i also said to disregard my statements if thats the way they usually do things. not a big deal. lol. i dont get mad about alliance ringers.

When we asked our Corp if they wanted to get into pfc almost everyone replied yes but only 3-5 players of our Corp actually log on for the battle... if everyone that said yes got on we would be able to field a full 16 but our luck just didn't work that way... that's why most of our team are alliance members... fyi I'm on more often than my CEO so if you want to warn us about that type of stuff you can send me a mail instead. |
