I second that.

That would be cool.

But let's not forget, no one would ever survive going through a black hole. ;D

Sounds good to me, so long as there is a cap on the loan limit.

However, what if someone takes out a huge loan, hands the money off to an alt/friend/alliance member, then never returns to pay it?  A whole lot of problems could arise with people making alts, taking loans, then handing off the credits to their main accounts, thereby effectively gaining free credits.

All-in-all, it sounds like a good idea, but we'd need to refine it and iron out the loopholes before we do anything.

Found another spam-head in the chat window today.  These are some of the comments he made while I was online (they are cut and pasted, gathered from different times):

bigjoke3(#6949): fuuuck me ruunin
bigjoke3(#6949): aaasss aaaasssss ass
bigjoke3(#6949): bam is a *** who sucks trevor lewis dirty body
bigjoke3(#6949): somebody lets have sex


6. bigjoke3(#6949) Reason: inappropriate language, sexual impropriety, attempting the use the chat as a dating service.

I've got gold and I've never been able to capture a fleet (mission or otherwise) that any systems attached to it.

Yeah really, I'd know... *scowls at Lamma and Slimy*

Oooooh excellent choice!  I like it.

Oh alright, I thought maybe it was just for laughing at n00bs.  Which is a lot more fun than you may think. ;D

Very true... perhaps we could call them by a different name every round... I suggest that we use the name Round of the Massive Attacks for last round.  ;D lol

Yeah... can't forget ars' crazy ships either.  ;D

Hells yeah!  It feels good to put n00bs/spammers in their places.

Also, I would like to officially request a (permanent or temporary ban) on the above-mentioned 4 players I nominated for blatantly violating the Space Odyssey TOS.

Any time, Luffy.  Just glad to be of help. In future I will draw up a formal version for other n00bs/shameful people.

Now you see that they are truly worthy of being shamed. I will draw up the formal version:

2. ChaChi2(#6799) Reason: n00bish behaviour, chat spamming, inappropriate language, general disrespect for other players, sexual impropriety.
3. platttte(#7073) Reason: n00bish behaviour, chat spamming, inappropriate language, general disrepect for other players.
4. Lacey10(#7082) Reason: n00bish behaviour, chat spamming, disrespectful behaviour, encouraging other to chat spam.
5. little_tim(#6979) Reason: n00bish behaviour, chat spamming, inappropriate language, disrespectful behaviour, sexual impropriety.

I officially nominate platttte, Lacey10, ChaChi2 and little_tim for the hall of shame for this rather... shameful conversation which defiled the chat window (I have removed bits of the chat that were actually relevant to the game, and unincriminating posts as well).  Remember it goes from bottom to top.
