I didn't attack him, i voiced an opinion i knew he wouldn't like because i hate "shmoozers" i think you americans call them that, correct me if i'm wrong. It's interesting to come back after a little break and see how certain individuals have managed to convince large portions of the community to support their own selfish agendas when there's little to no reason for it at all just yet. Someone had to say something and there's a good chance a lot of people who've been here while i've been away have failed to notice it as a large change in direction for many people simple because its been done gradually so as not to attract attention.

Anyway, moving on! People love EPEEN Mushroom stamps here, it's what i hate about the console community myself but i think that could just be an age things as you're average console gamer is younger than me now a days. They've attracted more users over the years and i've just got older. Yes i see the similarities you mentioned too, which is part of the reason i like you guys so much, you attract a lot of **** for the same reasons so i can relate because i know a lot of it is just jealous idiots.

I wouldn't say Goons don't let people be individuals, we actually encourage it but anyone who's just an outright idiot or does something that you couldn't get away with in the real world, like sexism, racism etc is instantly called out over it and typically hung drawn and quartered publicly. We do expect a certain level of maturity from our guys internally at least, we couldn't a give **** what do to non goons as many people know.

Project anything you like, i respect people with opinions and who are straight up a hell of a lot more than those manipulative types as i'm pretty sure you've worked out already, i'm always rubbing someone up the wrong way though, though voicing my opinion, being older or just being a part of a culture a lot of people don't get, i stopped letting it bother me years ago.




The CSM has actually released their agenda for the winter summit recently there's to be discussions by the CSM on the EVE/Dust link, i've formally requested that the CSM also bring the topic of conversation over here as it's important that part of the discussion takes place here with us not being limited by the NDA and not everyone here being EVE players either. I hope they listen because this is massively important stuff and shouldn't be left just to a single community to discuss.

As far as your post, the theory right now, as far as we know is that EVE corps will place contracts to pay Dust corps so obviously there's going to be a cross over and a link but it's the larger economic stuff that worries me, manufacturing, item costs etc.

There's nothing stopping Goonwaffe putting up a 100 billion isk contract up on the first day for a planet directly to our corp and paying us even if we loose i'm guessing and that's got to be addressed. There's also the fact that corp contracts don't pay individual corp members, it's deposits the funds into the corp wallet for the CEO/Directors to distribute which i also think is open to abuse for isk transfer reasons so i've actually emailed CmdrWang about it hoping to get some more details because i've got some ideas on it that can stop it being abused and everyone knows how good Goons are at thinking outside the box to abuse game mechanics.

It would make more sense to me for example to just allow the corp to set a flat tax rate that takes away what ever percentage that corp decides from the overall corp contract reward and to distribute the rest of the funds evenly between those who took part in the battle.

For me doing it in it's currently way i'd just get Mittens or someone to set up a contract for a few billion isk, once its in the corp wallet i can transfer it myself right away and that will be abused.
