Definitely some good ideas.
TBH, the biggest thing you have going for you is your swift reply here. You're showing that you're willing to communicate and consider options.
Though your reactions are less than dazzling, I suppose it's understandable. I'm most concerned with the fact that you treated our money as though it was worth less to you than yours. Every precaution should have been taken, and you used the #1 most dangerous way to transport billions of isk in goods.
It was just plain stupid.

Big big thank you to Kara, I like the thinking, and those ideas have definately been taken on board and probably combined with other plans to make all round more effective.

As said, I was wanting to wait a day or two to reply at all, but that would simply be the wrong attitude to the shareholders, and only protecting myself whilst others get more and more concerned. I'm getting nothing short of what I deserve so far, because it was completely stupid, I have not denied this, however noone is more angry about this than me, I can guarantee you.
To your statement about the ISK. I value time greater than ISK, and although I do have a considerable investment in ISK in this venture myself, I have put a lot more time into it. Fact is, I made a mistake, this does not however mean I do not value other's input into this venture any more or less than mine, as my planned solutions will show.
As to my reactions (so far) being less than dazzling, I have given the numbers and calculations to the standard 3 solutions. However, I would not be me if I chose a standard solution, because noone wants to accept a 70% loss, which is why I am brooding on more ideas. I promise this will not take too much longer.

Anyone interested in selling their shares as a result of this can sell them to me for 800k per share. This is of course a personal offer and not in any way related to EBANK/C-R-A/TCCS/C-P-H/etc

How exactly is this enforceable unless you were to pay dividends manually in the future? He seemed to be giving you a fairly graceful way out of some of this mess...

Share limits are out the window once those shares leave the corp wallet. It's unenforceable and there's really no reason to enforce it either. It's perfectly understand to limit the amount of shares purchased during the IPO but shares are part of the free market, you can't control them.

Yeh the idea at this point is to try and limit the Wylker affect. I have a fair bit of spare personal isk available so can take a risk with that buyback. Obviously it's all hinged on your success or failure

I would think you would welcome Ricdic attemp at bailing you out by giving us investors an opportunity to only lose 20% of our investment rather than 70% as has been projected.
Instead you quote rules that you created to foster investment by multiple people including new investors (i bet they are excited about the investing side of EVE now) that have no bearing on what happens after the initial shares are sold.
If I was ricdic (and I know he won't do this) I would withdraw the offer and watch you sway in the wind.
Fortunately I only invested 100mil so I am not contemplating character suicide or anything but I am interested what great idea you have to salvage this situation.

Quote: Instead you quote rules that you created to foster investment by multiple people including new investors (i bet they are excited about the investing side of EVE now) that have no bearing on what happens after the initial shares are sold.
As someone who imposed limits of how much someone could purchase during my launch, I think it's a bit silly to enforce people never *owning* more than 1000 shares after initial launch.
In order to distribute the shares initially amongst many peeps its good, but from there on it's anybodies fair game, and I think it's crazy (and impossible) to enforce people *never* owning more than 1000 shares, and more importantly it has no effect on your business operation.
Ironically, (and I'm not suggesting anything, i just think it'd be damn funny) if Bakimi was an alt of ricdics, and he's now collecting back shares at a fraction of the initial price in order to "wash things over cleanly" and earn 20% of the total investment

- would be kind of a waste to throw away 5 freighter BPOs just to set up such a..umm, scheme, wouldnt it? (yes, the kill was real, and the killer was very happy indeed that he managed to loot two of the prints)

Would the 1000 shares per person limit not be an issue if ricdics just kept 1k shares on each of several different alts? If so - doesn't that make a mockery of the whole idea? If not, how was this 1k shares limit planned to be enforced anyway?
I can understand limiting share purchase at IPO time - i did the same myself. But thereafter, attempting to restrict share ownership is unenforcable and pointless.
Note: I hold no shares in this venture so have no axe to grind either way. Just seems very wierd to try to use an unenforcable restriction to prevent something which would be of benefit to some shareholders.

Yeh I offered the buyback because I am fairly confident in Feyloan's skills to resolve the situation. Obviously other's aren't and I don't really want this thread to end up like Wylker's one. As I said when I first bought into it I do see the potential for Feyloan in this industry. He made a fatal mistake but the true testament will be seeing if he can recover from it.
Just coming back here and looking for resolutions shows that he doesn't want a tarnished reputation and my chats with him on msn and in-game lead me to believe he is going above and beyond the call of duty to try and fix the problem.
As was seen by Riethe, I could be wrong again which is why I am only buying back at 80%. Unfortunately the Riethe scam made me step back and look at those around me in a whole new light, people I have known and trusted with billions for years with me having to double question the trust etc. It's a good and bad thing but I hate having to do it.
Anyway yeh I could just buyback on all different toons it wouldn't matter and isn't enforcable. If anything I would see the Feyloan restriction of 1000 on me as a way to try and limit any fallout I recieve if he cannot resolve the situation.
Either way, I didn't get into the financial position I am in now by not taking risks. CCP made this game with Risk Vs Reward in mind, and even though they have had near zero hand in the MD portion of Eve over the years, Risk Vs Reward is still very much an important factor.
My reward if my belief in Feyloan is correct, is that those 5% minimum repayments go up to 6.25% minimum if Feyloan recovers and continues to meet repayments. If not and he liquidates then I get a higher amount back.
Liquidation at a loss or complete failure/scam is the adverse end of the scale. Time will tell but I can afford the loss if it occurs.

I will explain why I mentioned the cap.
Two Reasons:
1) Ricdic has slightly more knowledge because I sought his advice on not-standard solutions
2) It negates the main idea behind Kara Rhane's Idea I wanted to implement with buyback & Resale
Ecpect an announcement within 24 Hours now btw. pending one issue being solved. I think the tone of some people will change drastically when that announcement is made. ------

Insider trading 4tw. Sell me your shares under priced.
Nah, I just know what he is trying to accomplish. If all that fails then I lose a lot more than the 20% discount for doing this buyback

I ran this past corp mates and we decided to pull out - taking up Ricdic's offer of 80%.
Best of luck - will be keeping a close eye on developments - good luck.

Edited by: Bakimi Ghevorchal on 27/11/2007 17:27:14 From the Praetoria Holdings Mailing List, posted by me:
OK, I will be posting the saving plan tonight on the forums, at some point, so don't complain if it's midnight and it is not there.
I will accept this plan as being 100% accepted, due to the alternative being a 30% payout of original investment. This is very important for you, the investors, so please read the posting.
Thank you ------

Edited by: Shadarle on 27/11/2007 18:16:49 I wonder if this involves a petition asking for BPO's back from CCP due to the death being caused by a crash. Thus refunding the 3 BPO's that were destroyed.
This would of course be the best way to recover easily and would have taken a few days perhaps.
Of course somehow getting the 2 back that were taken by some means is of course another avenue that might have worked.

Depends who it was that killed you of course. Probably too late at this point anyhow. I honestly can't tell you as I have 0 clue what actually happened as you've never explained it. It's all about who got you and how much you can find out about them.

OK, well considering who it was I felt that route would not be worth it anyhow. As to what happened, I have my reasons for not posting it so far, as i do for asking not to speculate, the only known fact is I was in a shuttle, nothing more. ------
