You miss the point, they didn't try to flip the district, they came to let us fight a top shelf opponent for one match and we lost, learned, and gave a good fight in return. You aren't gonna get any better if you don't play up a couple levels. Outside Corps are welcome to attack as long as they don't intend to flip the district, there is no need to call in the reinforcing troops. It's up to you to communicate and find out the attacking corps intent. Welcome those battles against the bigger and better teams of PC vets, it's the ONLY way we will get better and be able to compete. Thank you Molon Labe for a good fair game. We all enjoyed it and observed how you ran that particular map and will apply some of those tactics in the future. Respectful in an honourable defeat, Cy...
Good game last night.
As you were aware, we had no intent on taking the district, we were just in it for the experience (for us both!). It takes some time to be able to execute as a team, and there's no better way to achieve that except through first-hand experience of a pressure-packed PC.
Hit us up anytime...Leadfoot |

p.s. I think the insurance/extortion idea outlined in this thread is BS, personally. From what i know of Spero, he's a straight up guy, but I find myself scratching my head on this one. $200+M per week to act as the police in an area that doesn't really need much of it (and certainly not $200M+ per week)? Curious.... |

I would check your assumptions on how much it costs to enforce actively. And given the sad state PFC has been in for months, this is chump change to be getting active corps placed on PFC around us, so we have better opportunities to practice.
$200M+ per week isn't "chump change" from where I sit....
PFC doesn't appear to me to require much, if any enforcement. With a few exceptions, PFC seems to be running fairly smoothly -- we had another PFC battle last night against Eternal Beings (and their Pradox friends).
Let me turn this around a bit -- if I'm off in my "assumptions", please correct me and justify $200M+ per week in "taxes".
Thanks...Leadfoot |

If you know how much the top tier ringers cost, you know it'll cover only a certain number of matches. Some weeks may require less enforcement, some may require more. ISK from weeks where enforcement is light can be used on weeks where enforcement is heavy.
Additionally, it's important to note that the maintenance charge a single corp pays, 8.75 million, is not only small enough to fit in a single clone regen, something you'll often get while waiting for an attack to commence anyhow, it serves a dual benefit for the corp participating. Not only are they protected from outside parties, but they're also paying for a better PFC experience. While many corps have done an excellent job remaining active participants of PFC, many have not. This has led to reduced numbers of opponents/available targets, leading to a less rich PFC experience. So by funding the enforcement system, you help ensure that everyone else's PFC districts remain open for business and available for play.
Yeah, I get all that.
Justify the number. Do the math.
How much per ringer?
How many matches?
How many clone packs?
$200M is a bunch of cash...weekly...for a system (PFC) that's pretty much working.
I just can't get there from here. Help me....not with the logic (I get it, really, I do)....but the numbers....Leadfoot |
