Hello, this is your friendly neighborhood merc Lugmos here. I wanted to strike a proposition with all of you forum goers. I want to see how much support I could gain here.
My idea was to create a bank, funded by me and possibly others, for you mercs. Now you are probably saying SCAM! at this moment, but in all honesty, what would I want with all of your ISK? I have allthe Sever BPOs and a Quafe, and about 45 million ISK currently in my account. I don't even run proto, and the only ISK sink I have is FW where I still don't use proto. So now that you have hopefully gotten past the scam mentality, here is my proposition:
-Mercs have the opportunity to make a 5% gain in ISK per week, in the form of interest, when placing an amount of 5,000,000 or less ISK as a donation to my corp, TBD, which will be the "bank"
-This ISK will essentially be 'frozen', so it is advisable to put it in the bank only if your ISK is just sitting there
-Mercs will also be able to take a loan from the bank, with a pre determined amount. For larger amounts, there will be a marginally larger amount of interest, with the expectation that you will do something worthwhile, in the form of profit or fun, with the ISK. The baseline for any amount 5,000,000 and under is 5%.
There will be certain guidelines for making this work:
-No loans more than 5,000,000 will be established until the bank wallet is more than 100,000,000
-Due to the nature of my real life, transactions may only be made on the weekends (Saturday to Sunday, with Friday a maybe)
-That being said, a thread, most likely in another section of the forums, will be made regarding transactions, where you can establish transactions for me to complete during the weekend.
Things that would make this a big hit:
-Donations as kick starter would be much appreciated
-An employee would be much appreciated, with high forum status/respect so as to prevent a scandalous situation from happening
Other things:
