So now our beloved Kain Spero, CPM Superstar has now demanded 8.75 million ISK a week from each corp that owns a district on PFC. 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 can always make an alt corp and really give you a reason to want that protection
8 million is nothing, I'll pay it right now to have an alt corp generate clones...8m isn't even one day of clone generation |

Silly boy corps on PFC are really lucky if they get 1 day of clone generation profit a week, on PFC, especially with PFC being the only place to attack, right now. |

Cool, I'd like to see what genius "thrive" plan you have for PFC that doesn't include you making empty promises just as we did to keep newer corps with relatively no real combat threat in line. I assume you're going to be going at a pay to be here profit angle then? Considering PFC as is right now will be completely unprofitable for you, and I have no idea why you would otherwise be interested in wasting time and effort for the sake of players/corps that may or may not stay committed to becoming better. Just saying, if this is a ploy to get rich/dismantle the majority of what PFC stands for right now, AE will step in. You will talk to us about what you're doing or we will be skeptical and probably take action if you're not enforcing the rules agreed upon. More importantly, I'd like to see you do it without wiping out PFC inhabitants actually interested in the idea behind PFC and actively participating.

Newer PFC members have to dig through thread after thread and base their perception of what can and can't be done on Fight Club base on rumor and whisper. As one PFC member has put it, rather than enjoying their district they are forced to walk on eggshells fearful that they will break some unspoken rule of PFC and potentially loose their district That's a great point. You have connections, make a list of all the PFC rules and get them sticky'ed here in the war room or bump them for a LONG TIME so that everyone can see the exact rules rather than be afraid of unspoken one's. If you're willing to police PFC via contracting top of the line mercenary's to fight rule breaking noobs, then sure. But unless the community agree's with you milking them for their ISK from PFC to fund it, I don't see anything like that happening.
Saw it coming from a mile away.
Though never said it wasn't warranted for protecting PFC. Corps on PFC would otherwise not even have a chance in MH if rules and regulations weren't in place. They are in no way entitled to the isk that comes with it.
I have an ego?! O.O

If a full district is attacked you get two days of clone generation. That gives you ISK in your pocket and guaranteed protection of your district. Nice try but your meta is weak. |

Yeah 2 days of clone gen if no one attacked you. But really the bigger question is why on earth should Kain Spero get that money? Kain wants to be all noble and defend PFC yadda yadda BS. Then he should just charge to hire his mercs if the district is taken. Which he still does, the rest is just pure profit for him. |

So you will be offering refunds if the ISK isn't used? And who exactly do I make the checks out to? Hmmn. Could it be Mr. Spero's Escrow Service? |

Well, you've got to look at it from a former "officers' perspective of PFC. Officer being people who have policed PFC before. Our point of view being that the people on PFC are really whiny and tend to whenever they break the rules start screaming it was an accident or "I didn't do it" like a horny teen who got her girl pregnant. Ask yourself if you want to deal with people like these without some form of compensation. This is the compensation. Besides that you're acting as if the land on PFC is something you're entitled to. The upper class built it as a way to help train other corps to become strong. You act as if they can't simply go in to every turf on PFC and treat it like another part of New Eden, IE. a place to farm their isk. PFC is a privilege, this is not something you automatically get and should expect.
And before anyone starts raising cane about me saying this, just remember I was a cop of PFC for a bit, I would never police that without getting paid at least 10 mil a week. Don't believe it's that stressful? Police it yourself.

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.

So sorry to wake you, but more sad to see you, cubby my darling, backing this outrage up. Facts are facts Kain is demanding what works out to be 227,500,000 ISK a week from all the corps of PFC. TO DO NOTHING!! Except to promise that they and their friends will not to attack them!!
This is the biggest BS to hit Molden Heath since PRO 2.0 decided to charge 50% tax.
Kane may keep his word, but weather or not he keeps his promises is not in question. What is in question is his GREED! He promises to take 227.5 mill a week and I am 100% sure he will keep this promise!

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'

First of all, if your on PFC to make residual isk..your there for the wrong reason. So paying the 8mill a week is literally chump change. Your PFC is a practice grounds, your district should be in a constant state of attack and defend. A PFC district is not YOURS to keep, your being allowed to stay there until your corps trained up and moves out. Your renting it..and are so dam lucky that corps have been enforcing it, its a thankless job. If you and your corp don't like paying 8mill a week...try NOT paying the 8mill a week, and watch what happens. If you don't like the rules of PFC..live off of PFC..and realixe...there are no rules.

Officer being people who have policed PFC before. Our point of view being that the people on PFC are really whiny and tend to whenever they break the rules start screaming it was an accident or "I didn't do it" like a horny teen who got her girl pregnant. Ask yourself if you want to deal with people like these without some form of compensation. This is the compensation. Besides that you're acting as if the land on PFC is something you're entitled to. The upper class built it as a way to help train other corps to become strong. You act as if they can't simply go in to every turf on PFC and treat it like another part of New Eden, IE. a place to farm their isk. PFC is a privilege, this is not something you automatically get and should expect.
And before anyone starts raising cane about me saying this, just remember I was a cop of PFC for a bit, I would never police that without getting paid at least 10 mil a week. Don't believe it's that stressful? Police it yourself. Please sir do not include DF in the whiny category, we are proponents of a drama free no QQ atmosphere. We fully understand any and all challenges, rules and whatnot, welcoming the challenge. DF whining? Blasphemy. Right, forgot about DF. Got a lot of respect for you guys. Also Hellstorm, fought them a couple of times, but I still retain my stance on the majority of PFC. Thank you, and agreed.

Fat Bottom ***** wrote:So now our beloved Kain Spero, CPM Superstar has now demanded 8.75 million ISK a week from each corp that owns a district on PFC. 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.
I guess the first step would be to clarify if the 8.75m isk/week payment is in fact all inclusive as Cub's secretary mentioned, including paying for defenses or reacquisition services. Based on the original post he indicated that actual fighting would cost more money, which leaves a fairly large variable if any of the "big boy corps" decide to wreck the party it could become VERY costly for these corps to pay additional for Kain's thugs to fight off the potentially huge attack.
I'm not sure this can be defined as extortion, although at first glance it does look that way. The problem is that there are no laws or rules in New Eden, it is no holds barred. PFC is not owned by anyone.. it can, and in some peoples mind, should be up for grabs just like any other planet in the system. PFC is an idea made up by the community, for the community, and supposed to be policed by the community. The strongest members of the community have decided on this new structure, and while I cringe at the though of these guys gaining even more wealth, if they provide this service and continue to help new corps and new players stay with this game a little longer... it may just be worth it. The previous systems were pretty good, but flawed nonetheless.. maybe this will work out? Maybe it wont.. but either way, welcome to New Eden :) |

Yes, it's all inclusive. For instance, if you lose your district, that weekly tax is now paying for the clones to re-attack, 16 of the best players in the game for however long it takes, and the clone pack it costs for you to reacquire the district from us. Also we will step in before you even lose the district, ideally.

If it is all inclusive, not bad.
For nay-sayers think about this as an insurance policy, and not extortion. How many of us pay for auto insurance and never once file a claim? Do you feel that that money has been wasted, or that you have been robbed by the insurance company? NO you don't, and you don't ask for a refund either. Why? Because in this crazy world we live in you NEED auto insurance, and even if it wasn't required to register your car at the DMV, you would be stupid not to purchase it to protect yourself financially. Don't think about how much money the insurance company makes, because they make TONS. Just think about the peace of mind that perhaps now, again, PFC will be a secure place for you and your bros to train.
Nobody will blame you for being jealous of this setup. Nobody will force you to pay, but rest assured if you don't... then you will really feel what PC is like right now and the top 1% will come take your ****..guaranteed, if only to make a point.
Just remember as I always said, these guys are not your friends... you are literally paying them insurance to let you practice on PFC without fear of losing your playing field so that one day you can beat the snot out of them and take their ****.
Yeah, new eden lol.

That's it in a nutshell. It's really that simple.
BURN PFC TO THE GROUND....it's a sham and a welfare state.
If your noob corp needs practice, q sync and play FW or attack somebody in PC. PFC has been a failure and will continue to be so, except to the bill collectors.

Definition of "extort"
to wrest or wring (money, information, etc.) from a person by violence, intimidation, or abuse of authority; obtain by force, torture, threat, or the like.
If ERA, or any other corp with the ability to do so, attacked your district and took it by force, that too could be defined as "extortion".
In the end the current PFC landowners have 3 choices:
Pay for insurance and assume protection from the top players currently in the game, a virtually unbeatable team on any given Sunday. Continue PC practice and hope to one day rise to power.
Don't pay, and lock the district... waiting for CCP to fix the problem sometime soonTM.. or for someone to snipe your district timer and take your land.
Don't pay, keep the district unlocked and lose it. |

Maybe it's best if the PFC residents lock up. They'll get more money, plus in a month when there's a new governing body, they can just say 'we didn't trust Escrow, but we love you guys'. Also, this can be an exercise in "WatchinYoOwnShit-FU'. Now I'm against district-locking, bit I'm more against a corp assuming control over a 'community outreach program', then demanding money for it. Question authority kids. They do not have your best interests in mind. I say, lock em' up. Show the rest of MH what you learned. Or don't... Some people were made to be worker bees.

Making insurance payments mandatory is Extortion. With a capital E. If they were optional, and you offered PFC district reacquiring fee's that corps would have to pay when they needed it, that would be fair.
Because lets face it when the power shifts again as it always does, all that ISK paid is going to magically disappear, like a candy bar at a weight watchers convention. |

I must say I was impressed with Sperow Escrow Services for wanting to raise their swords for PFC but I must have been foolish in believing it to be for honour like all the tier-1 corporations before it, and not the ISK.
I will not support this system. I was approached understanding this project to be charity based and largely unregulated - governed loosely by those strong enough to hold a district without foreign intervention.
I'm sad to see defenders of PFC trying to turn knights into a hired police force. Soraya and Kain, you've lost your way on this one. Leave the planet in the hands of its people and their God.
It's been long understood that if Calamity struck Planet Fight Club the leaders of each corporation would unite and defeat the Invaders. Legend tells us that by risk or ISK the Champion would emerge victorious. And that war would reign eternal upon its lands forever.

on the outside it looks as if kain is turning PFC from a lawless clusterfuck into something similar to college irl.
in college you pay monthly to keep your tuition up and not be expelled from the university your going to.
now in PFC you pay weekly to keep your district from turning into the rest of MH allowing your corporation to graduate and get into the job profession (PURE PC MH).
its very obvious though that this is not whats going on in the inside.

We would have been open to battle anyone. Those battles are good for PFC. Unfortunately we will not get that option anymore besides tonight I suppose. We were the ones following the rules until the new ones came into effect. We have been attacked by the Escrow Removal Services.
I have heard the argument over and over again that this new rule was so that we did not get flipped by the "big boys". We didn't have that problem until now which is my point. |

Dude! You QQ way too much... Less QQ and more pew pew!
Corps wanting to fight other corps is a good thing! No... it really is a good thing! Thats the only way you get better.
If you idea of fun is lolpubs you dont deserve a taste of PC or any of its derivatives. From what I see CYRAX is done with lolpubs and wants to test his metal against the bigger or big boys. Its a good thing. You should want to fight these guys for that. Whenever I see CYRAX I pull out my proto stuff because my advance **** aint gonna hack it. Even if I loose millions of ISK;- I love it because they bring it.
Keep a simple policy in mind;- if you are good follow the ISK. Interwebz relationships are as good a virtual sex. You might think its real;- but it aint!

You guys realize there's a vast difference between being CPM, an out-of-game position, and being a player in a game where business is business, no matter how "moral". which is a distinctly in-game decision, yes? Welcome to the metagame, folks.
I mean, that being said, one would hope we have a CPM who supports all manners of playstyles in New Eden, and in actually, Spero's in-game business has a really good reputation, but you know, just saying...

I am certainly no kid. At the age of forty three and with a job that deals with billion dollar construction projects "IRL" I fully understand the smart business move this is by Kain. Absolutely brilliant. Also benefitting the corps that want to train in the spectrum of competition at a higher level, without losing that in the blink of an eye.
Business is business, I could give a flying fck on a rolling doughnut about gaining credibility with Kain because he is a CPM. His title can't give me AUR, SP, anything really of any physical asset, except security on my training grounds.
He is the one gaining credibility by providing a service such as a private military contractor would do "IRL". It is him that stands to gain the most by upping his credibility by living up to the contract and providing the best service possible.
If you view this from a Marxist point of view, it could be considered a small Genocidal exiling of those who won't pay. From a Democratic viewpoint, it's smart business. People don't like lawyers, I don't like mine, but when I really need legal representation he's my best friend.

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.

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.

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)?

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.

District lockers have been successfully removed from PFC and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. In fact, district lockers are higher on Spero's priority list.

The issue with the "mob" analogy, is it doesn't actually equate to the situation at all. Generally, in a protection racket, the only one you're being protected from is the person you're paying. Spero's service is actively protecting from threats that we do, realistically, face, as well as ensuring we have a better play environment, by removing corps who are squatting and not participating. That costs a lot of money, more than you realize, and there's got to be a halfway-reasonable way of funding that.

$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".

Leadfoot, 200 mil a week is an assembled total. That's to cover enforcement on all 24 districts for the week. 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.

Brief history of the Insurance Racket
Once upon a time, a long time ago, there was a fire. A nice family's house burned right to the ground while they were away, and the nice family suddenly had no place to live, no food to eat and only the clothes on their backs. This happened when ordinary people didn't have bank accounts and didn't have much to put into one anyway, so the nice family had to rely on friends and neighbors to help them. The friends and neighbors did indeed help, the family's community being kind and caring. But for quite a while it was a very tough time for everybody involved. During this difficult period considerable discussion about the golden rule, "Treat others as you would like to be treated," and the acknowledgement, "It could happen to anybody," began to blend into a new idea: If all the families in the community put just a little money into one pot, say every month, in a year or so there would be enough to help out any of them who suffered a calamity - well, so long as several calamities didn't happen at once, of course - and no one family would be devastated, separated or forced to rely on others. After many an argument and much working out of details the community agreed to give it a try. They voted the person known by everybody to be the most honest and honorable of all of them to keep the pot of money, and others to count the money every month to verify it was safe and intact, and used only for the right reasons. To everybody's surprise and delight, it worked. There were catastrophes now and again over the years, but even so the money in the pot grew to quite a sum, a lot of victims of bad fortune were relieved of financial strain, and everybody felt a little more secure. Once upon a time a long time ago, insurance was born! And while it looked at first as though everybody would live happily ever after, that didn't quite happen. Oddly enough whenever money accumulates people get anxious. The community began to fret about keeping it safe, if those who received it really deserved it, etc. Also, when money accumulates, other people are drawn to it, seeing opportunities. Before too long, professional money managers replaced the now-aging people everybody had previously trusted to take care of it, and after that, as the pot of money continued to grow, a corporation took over the job. Sadly, the first concern was no longer to take care of people in need. It became to make more money, every corporation's primary job. To accomplish this new goal the corporation began screening people out, making sure those most likely to need help would not get it because that would cost the corporation money. They put new restrictions on those who wanted to buy insurance, and new restrictions on how much they would pay for any specific condition or happening. They added many forms to be filled out, and many layers of people to design the forms to make them most advantageous to the corporation, and to analyze them for inaccuracies when they were filed, in order to delay or prevent payments out. Owners of the corporation and the people who ran it became very rich, doing nothing more than managing a community's money - for the exclusive benefit of the corporations' owners and executives. Insurance companies do not manufacture anything, do not design or engineer anything, and do not contribute anything to the agencies that heal people's lives after a disaster - not to hospitals, nursing homes, fire departments, police departments, foster care, social programs, or to any body designed actually to help people, except by paying the limited benefits promised under policies bought and paid for by victims. If those people did not "qualify" for insurance, could not afford it or failed to pay their premiums, they do not receive anything at all. Insurance companies only manage money. All the enormous profits they make come from premium payments, the money people put into a pot to share in an emergency. These days insurance benefits come from what's left in the pot after profit is taken out. How a system created to help those in need became a system to make some people rich is difficult to understand. It might be called a fairy tale. In any case today, at the end of the tale as at the beginning, kind and caring friends and neighbors are once again helping unfortunate victims of calamities - because so many people have no insurance, and not much money either. |

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.

Personally, I don't hire ringers, and I don't have exact numbers. But you have, what, twelve to fifteen ringers, a something-million ISK per ringer per match, two or three matches per district (depending on structures), plus a clone pack for the PFC corp to reclaim. (Assuming ERA's districts can supply enough clones that they don't need to clone pack their attacks as well.) Ballpark it, it's not a pretty number. It's a pricey service.

TLDR Meh, its not that big of a deal.
______
I see where you all are coming with the extortion bit.
Its a sticky situation, most of us who post here are setup in corps and good to go, we have isk, we have our teams, some good some bad, but we don't really have to worry. Everything is locked up anyway, the only fights are on PFC right now for the most part.
But you gotta put yourself in the new player, new corp, small corp shoes. What can they do right now... A lot of the playerbase probably couldn't care less about PC, many probably don't know about it, heck I meet new guys all the time who don't even know other players on the team cant hear them talk when they are in squad voice, lol.
If these newer/smaller guys care enough about PC, let them pay to play. Whats the worst that could happen? The richest players currently in the game get a little richer? Us outsiders will never know what the money goes towards, or where it ends up if it isn't used "policing" PFC. Apparently the people who ARE paying have a transparent contract with Kane/NF and I hope for their sakes that they do know all the fine details of how this whole scheme is working.
There is nothing we can do about it.... besides attack Kane, ERA, NF, and all of their beasts. and of course, gripe on the forums.
Its an interesting dynamic of this game... Cant blame anyone for being jelly they didn't think about it, and that's probably where most of these negative sentiments are coming. **** the new player and **** off letting my enemies get richer.. I get it. Right now, personally, if this helps bring new players in and keep players playing.. I'm all for it. Let them amass a little more wealth for now.. changes will come eventually, they always do.

Its a sticky situation, most of us who post here are setup in corps and good to go, we have isk, we have our teams, some good some bad, but we don't really have to worry. Everything is locked up anyway, the only fights are on PFC right now for the most part.
But you gotta put yourself in the new player, new corp, small corp shoes. What can they do right now... A lot of the playerbase probably couldn't care less about PC, many probably don't know about it, heck I meet new guys all the time who don't even know other players on the team cant hear them talk when they are in squad voice, lol.
If these newer/smaller guys care enough about PC, let them pay to play. Whats the worst that could happen? The richest players currently in the game get a little richer? Us outsiders will never know what the money goes towards, or where it ends up if it isn't used "policing" PFC. Apparently the people who ARE paying have a transparent contract with Kane/NF and I hope for their sakes that they do know all the fine details of how this whole scheme is working.
There is nothing we can do about it.... besides attack Kane, ERA, NF, and all of their beasts. and of course, gripe on the forums.
Its an interesting dynamic of this game... Cant blame anyone for being jelly they didn't come up with it first, and that's probably where most of these negative sentiments are coming. **** the new player and **** off letting my enemies get richer.. I get it. Right now, personally, if this helps bring new players in and keep players playing.. I'm all for it. Let them amass a little more wealth for now.. changes will come eventually, they always do.
Can all be summed up in one word man," Meta"!!

That gives you ISK in your pocket and guaranteed protection of your district. Nice try but your meta is weak. Yeah 2 days of clone gen if no one attacked you. But really the bigger question is why on earth should Kain Spero get that money? Kain wants to be all noble and defend PFC yadda yadda BS. Then he should just charge to hire his mercs if the district is taken. Which he still does, the rest is just pure profit for him. It sits in an escrow corp and doesn't get touched until it's used for PFC maintenance Kain isn't making any money on this, he can't touch it Lulz. |

People don't like lawyers, I don't like mine, but when I really need legal representation he's my best friend. and you're not the only one here with real life experience managing large contracts or even working as a military contractor. 20+ years in Iraq, Afghanistan, Djibouti and other places I wish I had never been. I worked for Halliburton on the construction/logistics side as a Project Manager. I understand business and I know extortion when I see it. There is no extortion here as there has been no crime commited, there is no DUST lawbook that I have seen.

I am actually disappointed to be quite honest. Let me ask you this; lets say you have a big construction project coming up, and right as you are set to begin, some guy comes up and says, "hey, if you want to build here you must pay me X amount each week, or will burn you down each night"....what do you do? Actually you should know as a PM that any construction project with any state or federal funding has almost a two to three year process that takes care of those problems IRL, securing of access and easements, paying for right of ways, even paying for legal insurance and license to be even considered to be allowed to bid on large scale projects. That is not extortion, that is the legal process involved in obtaining proper access and removal through buyout of parties not involved or in way of said projects, and insuring right to payment through retainage fee's which usually run around 10% of total contract value.

Fools. Take the fight to all of these PC big boys. They are not infallible. If you lose, so what you lose. I for one would have more dignity. If you cant hold your district by yourself then you don't deserve it in my humble opinion. PFC kind of defeats the object of its self. Train for pc? Ehh? You can train by attacking the ******* and taking a district for yourselves.
But then this is New Eden. Do what you like. |

You are saying all the right things; legal process, legal insurance, proper access. Shall I keep going? No one just shows up and says, "here, pay this is or this will happen"

Are you guys seriously still responding to Bigole? Don't worry about him - no one listens to him. He's just running his mouth because it makes him look good to his AE masters in hopes they'll field him again.

One thing more then I'm done here.
there is no established set of laws in this game. How can you label someone as an extortionist with no set law describing action for finding of guilt? Such is my comparison to real life Bigole, without law, there is no criminal intent or action, only business as usual in a game filled with mercenaries.

Sure, if you don't check your mail at home you would never know there were consequences for not paying bills ie; taxes (for schooling, road repairs, police etc), city orders, mortgages, insurance for houses, cars, and boats with liens, credit card bills, letters from the bank. Sure, if you don't check your door to see if there is a notice of eviction sign nailed up, that your garage is now empty, or you credit cards don't work. From the looks of it someone is so far over their head they are drowning. America. |

Field me? In what, PC? LOL...no worries there. Wish I could just be on to play in more than one a week. This week was an exception. I played against Sota and boys, went 4-20, getting owned at every corner and then went 1-0 against Valor holding a point down. No worries about me cracking the LU. Let me sum it up for you.
