Suggestion to limit credit transfering

[FTP]

Well aslong as you keep naming broni, and adding him to every conspiracy theory you have I do see why he responds to those posts. And I aswell got abit bored reading the same thign over and over again.

[Seither]

So do I, I get bored having to repeat it, but in a different thread where the solution would work, i should be added, because A)someone who hasn't seen it might see it and agree or disagree, and B)it means solving two problems with one stone.

And I only attach bigbroni's name when it is at least plausable (means evidence shows it could happen, but does not mean it is likely, just that it could happen). I do not use names when they couldn't fit. If lightseeker and midnight were the only ones capable of doing such a thing such as the feeding, then I would be on them. But they aren't, and I know lightseeker better then I do bigbroni, and therefore, personally, I see it more likely that bigbroni would then lightseeker. This is on no accounts an accusation against bigbroni. It is my opinion of who is the culprit out of those who we know who could do it and were on at the time. I'm sure Sir Emi is looking into it and the situation will be resolved soon. Since only Sir Emi and the people involved can prove anything, everyone is only speculating, not accusing. You can't accuse a person without evidence pinning them to the crime.

So, for the LAST time, I am NOT accusing anyone of anything, merely stating what could or could not be possible, which I have every right to, and I will not take these attacks from bigbroni. I understand some of them I did deserve, but he has made many against ducas, and some against me that were unfounded, and flat out wrong, rude, and insulting.

Srry I didnt see the attacks against ducas.

But if I get 10 messages were 6 are a direct insult to me I would not react to the other 4 like I would do without the insults in other posts.

[Seither]

I'm not reacting to the others as an attack, but all of his were attacks on us. you attacked me once, and I responded differently to the others.

Anyway, I sent an apology to bigbroni via forum messaging, and I made sure to forward it to Sir Emi, so there is nothing left for him to go on about. From here on out, anything he says is unfounded, as I apologized for insulting him, and explained I was no trying to accuse him of anything.

[FTP]

Luffy, you have to se that some of youre comments could be read as an attack even though it might not have been ment like that.

[Seither]

Yes, that is why I apologized for anything that may have insulted him. I'm not trying to target anyone, but do to differences in language, customs, and countries, what isn't an insult to one person is to another.

Space Odyssey is a game in Development. It changes, sometimes for better other times not so.

If you remember last round galaxy missions sucked... now they are an important component of the game. Some Items are irritating/useless at the moment but we will incorporate them into the system
 :DTrust me, someone will find a use for "mining turns" that someone else is going to find abusive.

This game is about power, and knowledge IS power.
Maybe that's why the formulae are not available for all to see....


Modifying the market "stopgaps" a loophole but doesn't solve the problem.

There is an honest necessity for transfers, reasons being:

• succesful bounties
• ships designs
• services rendered (scouting the galaxy and others)
• setting up a commander who has hit a killer fleet/been zeroed?

(this although it sounds reasonable, may not be. A careless twit who insists on hitting fleets beyond his power should probably pay the price  )

• others?

Last round Skum put a bounty on me... I was hit, damaged and the hitman got payed: in the spirit of the game
I'm dragging the galaxy, a mate is running out of turns and I find a BH that will allow him to continue in game: in the spirit
I plan a cool stack design and ship ratio that will allow growth with minimized risk, share it: in the spirit
I offer to fortify a commander and set him up to damage someone artificially: sucks
...

So now I generate an advantageous position for someone  Why can't I profit from it?
I give you a 10 bill advantage (a legal one of course) and you want to pay me 1 bill. How do you do it?
Force donations?  That if anything makes the game even more skewed = my help has forwarded 2 commanders linearly instead of spreading the advantage out...


IMO The best way to keep things square is to
A. Define acceptable/unacceptable manouvers and price ranges.

Ideas:

• BH: worth upto 10%? of the reward a Gold transport the same size
• Royalties: the full 2% standard and mot more than 5%? in any case

B. Establish an escrow/banking system and impose penalties on offenders:

Ideas

• Fine them proportionaly to the transfer

eg I have a power of 1 bill and transfer 100 mill creds to an 10 mill commander -> I'm fined 10 bill cash

• Freeze turn allocation
• Make a "doomsday" like rule (won't neb for x hours, and no power restriction on attacks) for repeat offenders

[/i]

If you outlaw p2p interaction you would have to eliminate the whole game. By imposing restrictions and installing a warranty method you can avoid abuse.

A long "two pennies" worth. Cheers,
PDJ

That sounds AWESOME PDJ. I love the fine/penalties idea. Instead of resetting someone, or banning them for making illegal transfers, simply fine them.
