I thought we were discussing ideas presented in the poll, not what was already planned. I don't like B. C is not a compromise at all. So A is what I would choose from the options provided. However since we're throwing ideas around, I'd rather they be safe until a person actually decides to spend them - willingly. And I'm sure a fair amount of folks will do just that. I am confident that there will be plenty of loot available for everyone to steal. Unless of course, it's the real money some people really want? See, I don't think this thread is about the game economy at all. I think it's about talking people into thinking it's OK to steal people's real money. And I don't care how anyone wants to spin it, I am against it. And I really don't care what your nefarious future goals to doom the economy are either. If you want to sit around and horde DACs to cash them in all at one time and crash the economy, then that's your prerogative, I suppose. But I doubt you will be able to destroy the game faster than the negative media the game gets from people getting their money stolen will though. Now I'll let you guys continue to sort out what is theft, how a DAC really works and all that. My peace has been said. But while you're doing that, some evil MF is hoping that you do talk the devs into them being all lootable all the time so that he can get his black market plans set up and ready to go by the time Alpha launches.

Pardon me sir, but I believe I stated that's exactly how I wanted it to be. Maybe I should have said, "put in play" instead of "cash it in"?

I voted A. I'd rather there was no poll at all. This issue isn't as simple as that.

Today I have the pleasure of welcoming TWO new members into the Outfit; Olson808 and RedCap! Welcome aboard guys!!

I'm against lootable DACs. I DO believe the main reason they are in game is to give folks who can't afford to subscribe, a way to still be able to earn their game time. There really isn't a better reason to implement them. Now don't get me wrong. I"m not some "make it all safe candy land player". I'm all for looting. I'll take your resources, your ship, your house...whatever. But I don't want to take real money from folks who can't afford to play in the first place. How awful would that be if it happened to you? Not only did you get ganked, now you cant even login to try to salvage some of what you lost in the first place! IMO, as long as a DAC is still a DAC it should not lootable. As soon as it's cashed in and used to purchase something in the game, then THAT is what you loot; whatever they bought with it. Otherwise, you WILL be stealing someone's game time. And I just don't want people to be able to do that. I know a lot of folks take games so seriously that they want to only take game-play into account "for the success of the game" and all that. But in the end, to me, it's just a game. And I want everyone who wants to play it to be able to. Makes it more fun for the rest of us. If we allow some folks to steal other people's real money - no matter what kind of label you want to put on it - it's only going to run folks off who would otherwise be playing the game. It makes makes no sense and goes against the spirit of the type of gamers I like to play with. So, my vote is to just wait until someone cashes one in and then steal what they bought, if you must. Otherwise, let players keep their RL money...sheesh!

Check out our new structure! Top positions are filling up fast!

We have another member! Everyone welcome Dilectos to the Outfit!

The quality of an org can't be judged by numbers. It has to be judged by the players and their involvement. I have only 11 members in my group, but over 700 forum posts on our site. Our members are active and are making plans, chatting, playing games learning how to work together, working on art together and generally having a blast. The game has already started for us. We're going to be the most organized, goal driven and tight group we can be by the time the game launches. We just might surprise you all! And then there was the recent demise of the largest org in the game that only lasted a month. Nope, can't judge by mere numbers alone. There's more than meets the eye.

Yep, I've had it too. Sometimes they show up in the sent box and sometimes they don't. I also would LOVE it if I could get notifications from the community area AND from the forums. I have checked yes to send me everything and have never gotten a single notification.

Hehe, well, for the record, I talk about Dual on the LM forums too. A good chunk of my Org are from LM, tbh. And the Devs here don't seem to mind the occasional LM mention. I assume I was invited to be on the Alpha team because of my work in that game. And there are a LOT of us here from LM so you're going to hear about it from time to time no matter what you do. But you shouldn't worry. LM is not a threat to this game in any way, shape or form. Anyhow, I didn't mean to offend and I'm sorry. I was only posting my LM builds since the OP asked us to show you all what we've got. And well...that's what I've got to show.

Yes, that IS one thing they are finally starting to get a handle on.

I have yet to build anything of worth in the sci-fi genre, but here is my best one that comes close, and then another one that is one of my favs. Hopefully we will get tools that will allow us to build similar things in this game. I am DYING to get started!! Takish Outpost: Ogre Guild Hall:

Shattari is the best voxelmancer I've ever seen. Skill AND imagination. I look forward to seeing what he creates in this game.

After our little spam discussion about posts in the featured community area last week, I have noticed a fantastic improvement over there. I posted a recruiting ad and it actually got to stay on that page for almost two days!!! I love it that we can all be competitors, yet work together in matters like this. Thank you all so very much! I think I'm really going to like it here

Love your new signature Gallo! Looks great :-)

Got another recruiting ad done! Thanks Gallo!!

Hi everyone! It's been a great week so far. We have another new member, Cartagena! Welcome to the Outfit!!

Thanks Hollow! We have a lot of fun working on them :-) We'll be updating the main org page image soon too.

Waiting? I'm talking about earning what you have. If I don't have to actually earn it then there is no real challenge. Then no matter how big and bad you are, it's all worthless. I'm tired of playing worthless games.

Yes, it is! I simply can't wait for all this stuff to be playing out in the game itself. Just dying to get started.

And plus one for Gallo. If folks want to join a giant organization like BOO where they won't really get to know most of their members, then they probably wouldn't be happy in our little org anyway. You have to "get" what we're doing and be into it. THOSE few people who get it are the ones who belong in the Outfit. It's not a numbers game for me. It's about making real friends. So, yeah. I pretty much don't care what anyone else is doing with their orgs. Either you get us and want to be our friend, or you don't.

Regardless if the information is true or mere speculation, I think if you want to call someone out and do it "to their face" then it might hold a lot more weight if you wore your own face while doing it.

This is coming from a guy who joined yesterday with only two forum posts. LOL. Looks to me like it's probably someone from another org who might be a bit jelly. Who cares anyway?

Hi Everyone! We have a new member! Logicbomb just joined the Outfit!! Welcome
