What exactly will Mr. Spero do with this 227,500,000 ISK a week exactly. He will make sure that NF and Too... Flatlines will not take your PFC district. What a deal. If someone else should attack your PFC district with the intention of trying to take it. It will cost you extra for it's defense and/or recovery.
That's Kain! The man of the hour, a CCP employee, and the leader of Dust's latest extortion racket!
I get drug out of bed to type a form letter... i hate you all
From the desk of Cubs:
'first and foremost, the bashing of Kane Spero on this is pretty damn silly. Spero Escrow Services is a well established, trusted corp that is the closest thing we have to an insured exchange in Dust.
Where do you think the funding for NF operations comes from? Corps hire us for contracts, and they deposit payment into Escrow. Mercs are paid, and escrow distributes funds to the payor (typically me). This relieves all involved parties of ever getting hosed, and SES has a long track record of upstanding business.
Now I participated in a fireside chat this evening with several council members and concerned parties, directly addressing many questions they brought forth.
Everyone left the meeting satisfied, and yes I agree some specifics still need to be ironed out, but the PFC community as a whole needs to be involved.
Currently there is only partial representation and those missing are allowing those present to speak on their behalf.
Thats their own damn fault.
The SIMPLE facts are this:
NF has been hired to enforce the rules the PFC council shall convene, propose, and set.
PFC from before now, all previous engagements, actions etc hold no weight on NOW.
Corps proven to lock districts are gone. Your days are numbered and you are now on borrowed time.
Being a resident of PFC is a PRIVILEDGE, for once i will give Arirana a +1 cause he even gets it.
You dont follow the rules, you lose that priviledge.
the Insurance policy is what guarantees your priviledge to remain, and we even offer to place you elsewhere when your time has come to move on.
Meta your ass to Disneyland for all we care. Its simple, and to continue PFC requires capital. MOLDEN Heath revolves around ISK.
You dont have it, go back to pubs. The cost is minimal in the grand scheme of things, and honestly the QQ over such a trivial amount is laughable.
That said, NF looks forward to hopefully, for the first time ever, to have 23 autonomous groups participating in PFC as it was originally intended.
both Kane and I have been around PFC since its inception. Kane was a pioneer in pushing for it to even become a reality, and I have directly regulated it as well. Our experience with the backing of our glorious mercs provides the greatest chance for Oddeluf to finally be 100% a Planet Fight Club.
Im saddened to see Hellstorm not being on board with this, but life goes on.

As in, you'll remove them if they don't pay? That's extortion, homie. You didn't own the land and give it up, there's no reason to be charging rent. While I agree that 9 mil isn't much per corp, there's also no reason for NF to be getting that much. You should be compensated for your work, but 200m+ every week on top of ringer fees? That's just taking advantage of the PFC corps. Why aren't ringer fees enough? The contracts don't differ from your regular ones; it's still just PC battles, easy ones at that.
ok now that i got some beauty sleep and some coffee, Cubs had me come into the office on a weekend.. I just knew the day off was gonna bite me in the @ss
From the desk of Cubs:
Art im a little upset you didn't offer me any of what you're smokin when we squadded up last night. Seriously.
im not making the rules here, but my understanding is the insurance policy is all inclusive. The ENTIRE reason FOR the InsurancePolicy is TO PAY THE PLAYERS busting their ass to fulfill this extended contract.
Were you and others seriously under the impression that this payment was literally for 'rent' of their land? This is an all-inclusiveprice that covers hostile takeovers, removing riffraff, chasing Rampage away from your trash bins etc.this policy IS the payroll for services...
Kane doesnt 'pocket' any of this, and NF would cease to be if he didnt compensate mercs for our contracts. This isnt the Ringling Brothers halftime peanut sales operation.
This is a 'professional' mercenary servic that, to my knowledge, has a 100% satisfaction rate and last I checked was the answer to ummmm...ANY problem a corp may have with a another group.
PFC has evolved. It is no longer without law, and government is being established. The residents help subsidize the cost of having Oddeluf 'working as intended'. 23 Corps playing nice and displaying the true spirit of PFC is the goal.
Good luck to us all'
