Stasis Hey Claudius... You killed my father. Big mistake. Dominion Master 8/1/2007 2:57:14 PM Level: 25 Experience: 65000 Total Posts: 691	Community input: Expenses? I've been thinking about how everyone just gets tons and tons of tape with everything they do. Everybody gets rich, and fast. Let's take a look at Amonost Doriath. He has twelve posts (not all of which are even RP posts!) and his inventory is as follows: Perrenor TechSystems Satyr Beretta Cx4 Storm Lern 42 Bushmaster Carbon 15 Type 21S Spyderco Calypso Jr. Orion Holocommunicator Three plasma grenades Jammer grenade Frag grenade And he still has 730 tape to spare. Where is all this money coming from? The regulation is "no more than 1000 tape per mission." Except a mission sometimes lasts a whole three posts, in which nothing happens, and they become rich instantly. They can buy anything they want, go anywhere they want, and do anything they want, and it's all chump change. My thoughts so far are the admins will charge characters for various expenses, including ammo, ship upkeep, hospital bills, ship docking fees, etc. based on their actions. Additionally, the maximum reward (seen here) from a mission should be reduced. Any suggestions?

Perhaps, an easier way to do it is, at the end of an RP an admin posts a results post stating all the gains/losses of each character as well as things such as injuries obtained and whatnot. (basically some kind of form)

I'm sorry, that would create more work for the admins... but then they'd have to go through you to get what they actually earned. fourth: if you want to get that detailed, expenses are very realistic, fifth: when a guy posts three posts and gives himself money.... how much expenses CAN he incur? I wouldn't think it'd be enough of a drain without making it bad for people who want to be more realistic.... sixth: If I sound like a jerk in any of these (aside from commenting on possible lack of integrity) it wasn't necessarily intended, and I apologize, I happen to not be informed on a lot of details, so I could be going off half cocked on this one again....

You can't send yourself money. 2. Someone who gives themselves 1000 tape after three posts won't be getting 1000 tape after three posts... 3. I don't know what you mean. Admins DO have to handle tape. I've already laid out some flat rates on expenses here. So... this thread is kind of obsolete. If you want to suggest other flat rates, that's fine.
