Manalapan Dynasty Banking General Tso's Alliance	Posted - 2011.02.11 03:42:00 - [1] I am declaring my candidacy for CSM in 2011 under the campaign message: "There have been too many Content Expansions. It is time that CCP spend the time to tweak the current mechanics to balance the game and fix antiquated concepts. While the new content expansions are always fun and exciting when they are released, there are more important things that need to be done. It is time to fix the mechanics that ruin the reputation of EVE. We need to stand to insure the current systems in EVE get fixed and there repair is a priority. I will be the player that makes EVE stronger. Currently, my biggest concerns are to neutral remote reps, bounty hunting, and corp taxes. I will be available for conversation on my ideas as often as possible. I plan to make sure my ideas are completely developed and approved by my supporters in order to make sure that EVE becomes a better more functional game. Finally, even if I am an alternate I will not resign for any reason, especially to make a point." I plan on spending time on this forum but most of my content will be viewable with commentary on my campaign blog: dyco-eve.com ------ Support Manalapan for CSM!

Would you not consider resigning if you could use it as a medium that could ultimately benefit the community or the game, if there was someone qualified to take your seat or alternate position, even if you had to give up your free trips to Iceland? Goodluck, and great choice of design for your website, it looks great. Yours, Serious.

My thoughts on that action is that I would be ultimately disappointing the community by surrendering my position to someone they felt was less qualified (less votes). My goal is represent the community interest and I feel that could always be best achieved by maintaining any position within CSM even alternates. ------ Support Manalapan for CSM!

Granted, you did not force anyone to deposit isk with eve bank, but come on...you think we would not remember? hmm? Nope I take no attempt to hide my scam. I was very adamant in this on my campaign last year. Scamming is integral part of EVE that is one of the major elements that separates it from other MMOs. My history in this aspect means I understand that realm of the player base and know what parts of it need to be fixed for the benefit of scammers and non-scammer alike. ------ Support Manalapan for CSM!

It makes the HIC more useful in empire space when generally it is typically just heavily used in 0.0. I was asking for your opinion against the idea or for the idea I suppose I could have just been assuming based on your smiley. Actually the HIC is very useful in empire space (Hi and Low). In some cases it is too useful. For starters, with damps the way they are you are completely destroying the raison d'etre for training Gallente Recons outside of a few circumstances where having a Cov Ops cloak on them is good. Secondly you are adding functionality to a whole class of ship that is, essentially, the sole preserve of one race and improving upon it so unless the other chap wants to shell out on a faction scram and a gang booster he's going to be outclassed. Now, long range scrams on Gallente EWAR ships are pretty powerful tools. They are mitigated by the fact that these vessels are relatively weak in terms of EHP and Deeps and have terrible cap and fitting. HICS tank like a brute and can still be capable of putting out deeps equivilant to (or in some cases greater than) a Gallente Recon (and yes, they should probably be looked at at some point in time, sooner rather than later I hope).

Manalapan Dynasty Banking General Tso's Alliance	Posted - 2011.02.14 18:49:00 - [16] Thank you Larkonis, I didn't even think about how that would antiquate the use of the Gallente Recons (odd because my main ship is a Lachesis).

I replied to this earlier and my history with DBANK means I understand the needs of MD players and what does not work in the current system. I always have taken full responsibility for what happened with DBANK and while I have mixed feelings about it the experience gained from my involvement makes me a unique candidate that would be valuable to CSM.

What would you do to increase small gang warfare in 0.0, atm the sov holders just dock up, a minor annoyance at best. I actually removed this concept from my campaign after significant discussion here and in game. I am actually compiling a concept to push for small gang warfare that will be more a compilation of current concepts I have that will be steps towards more small gang warfare. I will be updating here when that is completed, hopefully, tomorrow night. ------ Support Manalapan for CSM! Fixing EVE The Player That Makes EVE Stronger Manalapan Campaign

People posted legitimate reasons why the change was a bad idea, and he admitted that he hadn't thought of those things at first, and that they had changed his mind. You would prefer someone who would continue backing a bad idea even after being given many good reasons why it should not be implemented? What purpose would that serve? How could that possibly be seen as a good quality to have for someone who is going to help shape the future of Eve? Quote: You wouldnt get my vote, cause you seem untrusthworthy, as you have proven in the past, being a scammer. (thats scum of the earth really) And when did you first realize that you don't actually like Eve? All of the dishonest methods of earning isk (scamming, pirating, stealing, etc.) are important parts of the game, and help separate Eve from the lesser MMOs. I would never support a CSM candidate who didn't endorse these aspects of Eve, as removing any or all of them could seriously hurt, if not kill, the game. ______

Dro Nee	Posted - 2011.03.02 04:09:00 - [34] What metrics and methodologies do you employ in determining when a mechanic/ship/module/whatever is somehow broken? For example, your bounty hunting thread begins with two statements: 1)Bounty huunting is not a viable career and 2)Bounties are a joke. How did you arrive at those conclusions? To be clear, I am not interested in the ideas you have to "fix" nuetral RR, bounty hunting, or taxes at the moment. I merely wish to understand how you as a CSM rep might process information/ideas presented. Cheers

To be clear, I am not interested in the ideas you have to "fix" nuetral RR, bounty hunting, or taxes at the moment. I merely wish to understand how you as a CSM rep might process information/ideas presented. Cheers My primary analysis of determining if something is broken is if it is not balanced. This means elements of the game I consider broken are those that interfere with the intended operation of itself or other mechanics. With your example: 1) Bounty Hunting is not a viable career as there is very limited in game mechanics that support the career and mechanics such as Concord and Security Status create large barriers to viability of this career. The conclusion in this example was that Bounty Hunting needed mechanics to support the viability of this career. 2) Bounties are a joke was determined by practice. This often where imbalance is found as I have accounts that play all elements of the game I run into most exploitable or imbalanced mechanics. This one in particular is that bounties placed on my -10 character get collected by another character of mine when they are higher than the value of the clone. I am always open to ideas and thoughts on current issues and my proposals. Many of my proposals are results of complaints from friends and sometimes enemies in EVE. You will find that I have dramatically changed my proposals after discussion and have even removed elements after presented with reasoning. My open view on all ideas related to EVE and my vast experience in many elements of EVE allow me to see problems from multiple views and determine most importantly a balanced solution, if one is necessary. I hope that answers the question if you feel I spent too much time on an example let me know and I will be more specific. My primary goal is balance in EVE. ------ Support Manalapan for CSM!

Lets imagine that CCP decides to implament some change in bounty hunting (the example is just for ease of conversation). 6 months later CCP asks CSM how things are going and if they need to adjust anything else.

Lets imagine that CCP decides to implament some change in bounty hunting (the example is just for ease of conversation). 6 months later CCP asks CSM how things are going and if they need to adjust anything else. How would you determine the sucess or failure of the initial changes? Cheers I would gauge the failure of changes based on how it fixed the problems it was originally faced and whether more problems were created as a result of these changes. In the example of bounty hunting I would gauge the failure on whether or not there is an increase in the number of pilots that act as bounty hunters in EVE and not a significant change in the number of pirates. If there is an increase in bounty hunters but most of the pirates stop being pirates then the system in not balanced and overpowered for the bounty hunters. While there would definitely be more elements I would go into this would be how I would gather my first impression. If it is a mechanic that does not effect my normal play I would look to the forums because when something is wrong there tends to be a lot of people complaining about it and that would give me sense to at least look at the problems. It is important to know that I never talked about it being a success. This is important because saying that it is a success implies to an extent that nothing is wrong. I think this about any change in EVE as some change may ruin another mechanic and not be seen for years. It is by no means a criticism of CCP it is definitely more an analysis of a game that will be perpetually getting new content and fixes that may cause substantial and possibly unforeseen conflicts for other mechanics. ------ Support Manalapan for CSM!

Prokofy Neva	Posted - 2011.03.03 23:17:00 - [38] Edited by: Prokofy Neva on 03/03/2011 23:19:13 I wholeheartedly support Manalapan! I have been saying for years that EVE is a virtual space suited to predatory play more than any other, and Manalapan and friends have shown via killboards and metagaming that they get it, and they are Pros! Back when Wired interviewed me http://www.wired.com/gaming/virtualworlds/magazine/16-02/mf_goons?currentPage=all , I was having a nasty goon problem in Second Life. They have since moved on, but the ones who stayed in EVE have found the appropriate niche for PVP at its best. In Second Life, the Goons tormented me in awful ways, abusing the TOS and EULA and taking advantage of rolling alts in a way that left me with no real recourse. In EVE, if someone attacks me or my way of doing business, I can attack back. EVE's Eula supports aggressive metagaming and lets the "buyer beware" when it comes to the economy. Manalapan has always understood this and has been a pro at making the game pay for itself, even before DBANK made him richer than most. He was a good sport about it, honestly stating the facts and even turning some of his profits into UTU's for us to hunt. I have spent time with Manalapan and his alliance and have seen first hand how they make the most out of EVE, and heard their great ideas for improvement. Why do we want to walk in stations with WASD when our ships can't fly that way yet?? Why do I want to join a huge blob of strangers and fight uber Sansha NPC's when my overview can't filter out who is who and what is what?? Manalapan and TSO's get it.... they recently won Hulkageddon, proving that when they have a goal they can easily produce results, but not taking this whole Internet Spaceship thing too seriously. In addition, I would not want to see them ragequit EVE and then come to Second Life to make my life there a living hell....

Hot Tubes Sardaukar Merc Guild General Tso's Alliance	Posted - 2011.03.04 21:20:00 - [40] At least we should all know where we stand with Manalapan now regarding scamming. It's people who claim they never would who I don't trust. I know that Manalapan has had a lot of experience with low sec combat, and its pitfalls. If you want someone to suggest yet more changes for 0.0 sovereignty rules and the related logistics of life there (I personally agree with DESTROY ALL JUMP BRIDGES) then that's someone else's forte. If you want someone who will do their best to propose BALANCED low sec ideas and methods for bringing different ships or weapons into line, then Manalapan is experienced in these matters.
Iphiclus Amarr Servants of Drawnon	Posted - 2011.03.04 22:54:00 - [41] I would like to say that it seems rather bizarre that neutrals are able to apply effects (Remote Reps etc) to anyone they like.. it's a little confusing and considerably unbalanced due to their having no affiliation to their targets. It would be more understandable if you could apply effects to pilots that are blue to them through diplomatic Alliance setups - but neutral involvement in warfare without retaliative intervention would be ridiculous and would jeopardise many fleet setups and tactical operations! I'm not even sure people that aren't in alliances are even aware of what they are capable of doing without Concord showing up without the 'learn by your faults' ethics - don't even get me started on Concord uberpower gank resolutions..

You do not, however, mention exactly how you can guarantee on such a promise. I, for one, would like to know more about how this is possible. Aside from that, I support your ideas and will do my part to contribute to your election to the CSM. I can't guarantee that I can make these a reality that would be very unrealistic of me, CCP generally does what they want. What I can guarantee is that I will make sure these ideas get voiced and that I will constantly push for the balance of all play styles in EVE. ------ Support Manalapan for CSM!

Repping someone does get you aggression, but since its not an act of combat, you still get right of passage to stations, gates and that lark. As for the logi just getting away, you've successfully forced it off grid? thus there is no logi, should the logi come in again it will be off gate and could easily be caught? and as for station if it does dock again there is no logi? should it undock chances are the short time it is able to stay out it won't be much good at all. You're concept of it being a game changer is true but if you where good at pvp then you'd be ready to counter this rather than crying you don't know how to and calling for it to be nerfed. As for the rest of your ideas seems like you really don't know what you are on about.

Repping someone does get you aggression, but since its not an act of combat, you still get right of passage to stations, gates and that lark. But how could actively participating in a fight NOT be considered an act of aggression? It makes no sense that it isn't. Quote: As for the logi just getting away, you've successfully forced it off grid? thus there is no logi, should the logi come in again it will be off gate and could easily be caught? and as for station if it does dock again there is no logi? should it undock chances are the short time it is able to stay out it won't be much good at all. And what happens when the target has multiple logistics? Say, 3 - 5? Sure, you can neut or damnp the logi, or shoot them until they leave, but unless the fight is greatly slanted in your favor in the beginning you will not have time to deal with more than a couple logi ships before you die. And really with 3 spider tanking logi ships you will have a lot of trouble dealing with even one of them if you are by yourself. And then you have the random bored logi pilots sitting outside station who feel the need to ruin every single fight they see by repping one side or the other. And CCP removed the only consequence to repping random people because a bunch of carebears whined about it. Quote: You're concept of it being a game changer is true but if you where good at pvp then you'd be ready to counter this rather than crying you don't know how to and calling for it to be nerfed. Basically, "If you were good at PVP you'd bring your own blob to kill the RR, or have your own fleet of RR alts to counter their RR alts". Way to miss the point. ______

Let's not turn this into a thread debating neutral RR. There are plenty of threads debating the point ad nauseum, go post in one. I'm sure the other super leet PVP'ers will all agree with you that playing docking games in Jita with neutrals is a good time.
Urian Kandor	Posted - 2011.03.08 04:43:00 - [60] I honestly think that neut remote reping has ruined and tarnished the "1v1". In places like Rens,Hek,Amarr and Dodixie, new and old players undock in a pvp ship hoping to get a fair 1v1 to test their ship or just have some fun. Then they see the very familiar aurora of the RR ships. Usually they are fairly off the station and they end up losing their ship. The only counter to RR, is of course more RR. Personally I think that neutral RR should caused Concord Intervention by jamming the RR ship for an indefinite amount of time. Usually around 10 minutes as an average depending on the regular 1v1. After some thinking, I have chosen to support you Manalapan. Best of luck to you and your ideas.
Manalapan Dynasty Banking General Tso's Alliance	Posted - 2011.03.08 04:47:00 - [61] Alright just did the drawing and the winner again.....Hot Tubes and he wins 50x Electron Blaster Cannon II. I am standing firm that Hot Tubes has some how compromised Chribba Dice. Link Please more people post so Hot Tubes doesn't win anymore. I am tired of him getting my stuff. Also, my concern about neutral RR is that it is: 1) Breaks War Decs This weakens war declarations in high sec substantially as any predictions about enemy power could be off substantially. The concern is not some alt RR their name it the random person that can come along and completely change a battle they have no stake or care. Random involvement of outsiders is my problem here. 2) 100% Risk Free A neutral RR ship can rep and rep and rep someone and get away through a gate or a station with absolutely no threat on itself. Now I did think about adding just an aggression countdown like guns have but then instead of using logistics they would still perpetuate the problem but use battleships that can tank the 30 seconds before docking. It is only worse now since RR cannot go GCC on accident any longer. ------ Support Manalapan for CSM! Fixing EVE The Player That Makes EVE Stronger Manalapan Campaign

I was very adamant in this on my campaign last year. Scamming is integral part of EVE that is one of the major elements that separates it from other MMOs. My history in this aspect means I understand that realm of the player base and know what parts of it need to be fixed for the benefit of scammers and non-scammer alike.

I wholeheartedly agree with your take on scamming (I hate scamming, but it is part of the game) and neutral RR. While I think your Interdictor idea is nice it seems to be of no use to me living in highsec. Or is it meant as a targeted effect and I missed it? Otherwise I'd propose to make it a targeted effect and I will train Destroyer 5 at once ;)

Scamming is part of EvE in a way that makes the game unique. There have been ample passive anti-scam mechanics that have been put in place, like the writing out of "100 THOUSAND" on the contracts, to the removal entirely of free-form contracts, or even painting the navy mega's camo green (catches the eye better for those that buy items linked in local on image alone). And while these changes can be seen as pros or cons depending on your take of scamming, it also blows me away the creativity of players to invent new scam forms. Now, if CCP were to make ALL scamming, griefing, etc, against the rules, they might as well paint all of space pink with rainbow stars and have us only be able to fit snowball launchers. The seedy, unforgiving side of EvE is what makes it so different and special.

Pointless Helper	Posted - 2011.03.09 19:47:00 - [71] Your plan for an overhauled bounty system has bounty hunters being assigned targets with a probability proportional to the bounty on a player's head (so a player with a 500m bounty would be 100 times more likely to be your target than a player with a 5m bounty). What's to stop your new bounty system from being rendered worthless by large bounties on players who aren't really vulnerable to solo player or small gangs (titan pilots, players who don't really log in anymore) resulting in many or even ost of the bounty targets assigned being players you can't realistically kill?

The low bounties probably will not be very frequent missions but still possible. It is unlikely that the system could be rendered worthless by large invulnerable bountied players because low security status or kill rights are required to receive a bounty (something you will find does not apply to titan pilots). Also, the system requires that the play be currently logged on for someone to be given the mission (as a TZ difference prevention mechanic). For discussion on your point though. Lets say a player in my alliance has a 9001 Billion ISK bounty and everyone else only has a 5M ISK bounty. It is still possible for me to draw him as a mission and collect on the bounty and split it with him (the abuse of the current system). While this is not the most desirable result the ability for this still to occur would prevent the instance where 99.99% of all bounty missions are for one character while not making the event common place.

If you know, or suspect that neutral rep is a possibility then don't risk it. I've lost kills and recieved some losses because of neutral RR and I'm not complaining. Losses are fine by me, the broken hisec wardec system isn't. A mechanic that is exploited to the point where it has become a common expectation for any hi-sec wars is most certainly something that needs a fix. I'm not sure why anyone is opposed to the thought of something being changed for the benefit of fun game play and balance. Except, of course, for one that is personally offended by the suggestion because it nullifies a tactic that person uses as a crutch and will be met with minor hardships while the rest of the game would benefit. Originally by: Halron Talukia It's part of Eve. Plus, I doubt CCP will change this since it would reduce the $$$ rolling in to their bank. (A change on Neutral RR is a change on active alts and the reduction of them from the game, think of all the alt's who are dedicated RR which would stop paying 14.99/month) I guess from the greed standpoint this would hold true. However, CCP REALLY wanted to have micro-transactions put into place (PLEX for remaps) and that would've been a pretty good financial boost, but a huge backlash from the forums/CSM had them change their game plan. Profit is important, but it isn't the entire driving force behind game mechanics. Besides, people said the same thing about nerfing Falcons back-in-the-day, but the nerf was necessary and the balance that emerged is more fun. On another note, logistics would still be a viable alt job, but having them sit invincibly on the back of a station until it is most convenient for the exploiter to use it would no longer be viable. They'd have to be part of the alliance at war to affect the war. I also feel Command Ships (in hisec) should only boost a fleet that is in war if it, too, is part of that war.

Well, it is always a risk that you won't be able to kill the target. If you run into that situation you could quit the contract and start a new one. If I remember correctly I think we also discussed being able to take out multiple contracts at once so if there is one target you can't get to, you can hunt another one for a while. In lowsec or nullsec it really won't matter much, as your friends can help you without any interference. In highsec where they can't help you, you aren't likely to encounter a ship that cannot be killed by one skilled person. As far as the inactive targets goes, you could always limit the bounties to people who have logged on in the last day or two, or even to people who are currently online. Anyone can see that the current bounty system is completely broken and pointless. If you are going to put a bounty on someone's head, you might as well just deposit the isk directly into their wallet instead, and save them the trouble of podding themselves with an alt. Because that's what a bounty really is in most cases: a donation to the person receiving the bounty. The bounty system is in serious need of a change, and if done right bounty hunting could be turned into a viable career for Eve players. Right now if you want a way to make isk that involves no grinding and is PVP based, the only real option is piracy (or maybe mercenary work, if you enjoy camping and docking games all day). Fixing the bounty system will add an "honest" way of making isk from PVP, and help promote anti-piracy, which is pretty much dead right now. ______

Shandir Minmatar EVE University Ivy League	Posted - 2011.03.10 16:17:00 - [85] Quote: Protection Racket Contracts This is an idea that I like from EVE Forums here The basic idea is that current paid æblueÆ or non-aggression agreements have a mechanic in the game to make managing them easier. Essentially you would make a contract with a Player/Corporation. This contract would have to be accepted by the Player/Corporation. Once accepted by the Player/Corporation you would start making regular payments automatically to the Player/Corporation in exchange they do not attack you. Terms of Contract * Time Frame * Payment Frequency * Payment Amount * Auto-Renew (Yes/No) Ways to Void Contract * Cancel * Attack Racketeers * Racketeers Attack You I really like this idea, it's a clever way to get more people into low-sec, but only if it is genuinely possible to prevent them screwing you after the contract completes. I would propose it is always tied to a corp if the pirate requesting protection is part of a player corp (requiring the role 'Ransom Negotiator'). I say this because I suspect that it would be used (almost exclusively) to con people into getting ganked by the corpmate who is also warp scamming you. If you made this mechanic mostly reliable - then it would be an excellent buff for lowsec. - Vote Trebor Daehdoow for CSM and Chairman of CSM. Trebor's Campaign Manifesto

Manalapan Dynasty Banking General Tso's Alliance	Posted - 2011.03.12 23:29:00 - [96] Originally by: Trinneth Edited by: Trinneth on 12/03/2011 21:09:21 Edited by: Trinneth on 12/03/2011 21:09:00 From your campaign blog: Players to be forced into war-decable NPC corps after their first month. Why do you feel players staying in NPC corps is a problem? The idea is to fix near riskless gameplay, Characters immune to wardecs. This just an idea to fix that issue it also has an added bonus of encouraging group play. The only risk they are vulnerable to is suicide ganking which is not substantial enough. I do not want to force PVP on players but there should not be a game mechanic that over protects them from it. Like all my ideas if I get a lot people that dislike the idea I will definitely drop it from my campaign or even change my opinion on the matter. Originally by: Stark Rayner You come out as one of my highest matches on vote match, but one of the areas where we disagree is that you feel the war dec system needs completely overhauled - what's wrong with it as it stands? I feel that there is too much advantage with the aggressor. I also think adding a mechanic where win conditions can be set (optionally) would be awesome as well. It is currently an imbalanced mechanic in favor of the the aggressor that is now just used primarily to grief. I am always open to thoughts. ------ Support Manalapan for CSM!

Targamarr	Posted - 2011.03.13 07:40:00 - [102] I have been following your posts. In the time that you have been running for CSM you have wrote about most of the topics that are important to me. I know you must feel as I do and it seems that the programers and staff at CCP may communicate with us and act as though they understand what is going on, they still seem to have no true understading of the effects that each issue has on the game play. We need someone who will be our voice to the people in CCP and have the persistant attitude to not give up but continually press the importance of the issue being actually fixed and not just masked as CCP seems to have the potential to do now. You are still my vote for CSM
EL Daniels	Posted - 2011.03.13 07:45:00 - [103] Hey Manalpan I like what you have to say man. You are right about the problems with eve. I vote for you man. Please get them to fix the problems.
Drakoneus Aivoras	Posted - 2011.03.13 07:50:00 - [104] It seems to me that you are the CSM Canidate that has his finger on my pulse of concerns and therefore I vote for you.
Harbinger031084 Sardaukar Merc Guild General Tso's Alliance	Posted - 2011.03.13 19:50:00 - [105] Manalapan, I was just curious as to what your actual ideas about fixing neut rr are. They are obviously bad, except to carebears and High-sec weekend warriors, but how do you propose that ccp fix them?

Harbinger031084 Sardaukar Merc Guild General Tso's Alliance	Posted - 2011.03.13 19:52:00 - [106] Oh, and also to what about corp taxes are you referring? Increasing the things that can be taxed, or eliminating the corp tax altogether? [url=http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/combat_record.php?type=player&name=Harbinger031084][img]http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/signature.php/string,Harbinger031084/tpl,amarr/signature.png[/i
Eihla Xancsia	Posted - 2011.03.13 23:10:00 - [107] If you get elected I would like to see the idea brought up to include a bit more diversity in what is offered on the LP Store. For mission runners you hit a point where there is nothing new and exciting to work towards on LP so it looses its appeal. Maybe rotating what is available every so often to keep it fresh?
Trinneth Knights of Nii The 20 Minuters	Posted - 2011.03.14 00:22:00 - [108] Thanks for the warp disruptor field generators! From your "very important issue" on corporation taxes: Quote: Tax Categories. What I mean by this is that taxes will be separated into groups that can have their tax rate set independently. For example: Mission Tax, Bounty Tax, Market Sale Tax, Contract Sale Tax. That way corporations have additional means of taxation and more way to pressure their members to Rat over Mission Running. The taxes on the market apply only to SELL orders and contracts that you receive ISK. Taxing sales orders would screw people who play the market, since they'd suddenly find themselves selling at a profit yet making a loss. More importanly, sales happen in the future, so a player wouldn't know what the rate of tax would be when the item actually sold. Secondly, why would you want to give corps a tool to pressure their members to rat instead of mission running? That seems to run contrary to the whole "sandbox" idea.
Syds Sinclair	Posted - 2011.03.14 01:45:00 - [109] ..I've read the thread and like your game philosophy as well as your philosophy as a representative of the players. You have my four votes.

You can listen to it here: http://www.newedenradio.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=309:csm-delegate-interview-recording&catid=44:nernews&Itemid=47 His interview starts at 2:06:30. Then towards the end they get a few of the candidates together, including Manalapan, The Mittani and some others, and allowed the people in the IRC channel to ask them questions. It was a pretty good listen for the most part, but it was 4 hours long. ______

Ya that is a risk and would probably be a concern with the corporation more than a problem with the ability to tax sales. This would actually go along completely with the sandbox idea because then a corporation can tax whatever they want and not just mission and rat bounties. The idea is to give them ability to tax these things. It is not required to have these new taxes set above 0 but the option should be there.
