And they -do- seem as bad as I made them out to be, they seem like a Corporation that's trying to be a 'legal' black market or some doom fortress mofo's.
Also if they hired criminals to do criminal work, and those criminals got caught, wouldn't it easily be discovered that Terra was behind it? People squeal quite often if it'll save their own skin.
1. Please stop commenting on this thread.
2. You're making something that's already hard to do, MUCH harder then it already is by trying to over complicate the faction.
3. This isn't entirely based on real life and many companies, including japanese ones get away with things much worse then assassinations all the time.
4. There are too many companies and corporations around America to keep a track of, as well as keep track of fables, humans, crimes, civic issues and the rest of the bullshit in the world. It's not like there's an empty piece of paper and Terra Corp sitting on the other end waving all their secrets around on their dicks.
5. This works absolutely and completely in theory, for OOC purposes and making the server better. Why do you want it to just fail so badly? Like really? Do you want this to not benefit anyone? Can't you just actually see what happens on server since it's already authorized? Do you want to be a juxtaposition of a lore supremest? I dealt with a lot of that when I did game mastering for servers, when I constructed things, they made everything really difficult to do on really tiny technicalities of something not working absolutely to how things happen in real life or exactly to the lore that we followed. What's trying to be achieved here should be the focus, not if it is realistic to the dot on real life standards, because no one is going to actually do something like that.
I really don't know many people who'd enjoy it that much, the realistic version of a corporation or a large company that only did really basic research that was like real life and never involved itself in criminal matters. I mean, what about criminal characters? I'm just meant to ignore the fact that there are a bunch of people who joined the server and wanted to roleplay as mercenaries and hitmen, but NEVER GET ANY JOBS. Like oh sorry guys, but your needs for your characters don't outweigh the fact of everything making absolute sense, even though we roleplay in a modern fantasy setting. I can't give you jobs, I can't let you do purposeful paid criminal work and I can't do any research that doesn't involve making something boring like a car battery that has double the capacity.
This isn't based on what I want, I have what I want and I enjoy my characters. This is about what people need on the server and what can be done to make the roleplay better. Believe it or not, I do self sacrifice to try and push this forward because I have to put myself out there and shove it forward, not just as a simple group but as an attempt to make the server better or different. I've been doing it long enough that I know that this will work and that the universe bends around the roleplay, because the roleplay and the genuine feeling of entertainment is what really matters in everything.
I want other people to control it, not me, I want to create foundations and leave the rest to everyone else. People have said that we need companies, I've argued on the suggestions about us needing this and people have agreed before, we need it. It's been applied for, it's succeeded and it's going to have LIGHT to it, a chance for Terra to at the very least inspire more roleplay.
Like just as a last paragraph. Are we all really satisfied with walking around, acting edgy, talking, fighting bad guys and repeating the cycle? Why not add more to what you can do? We can't just do that forever, no matter what, things get boring and change is the determination of survival for anything.
Nothing's set in stone and nothing has happened IC as of yet, there is no paid land, the way the currency will work is just an idea as of now and does not properly exist. I've had barely enough time to proof read it because I've spent the past hour arguing with people, when I could just be improving on the thread. Instead it's sitting there still, without appropriate modifications because I'm here defending the point.
So stop commenting, PM me about it if it's really important and you are concerned with it. Terra Dollars can be figured out, but personally it's still a better idea then actual money. We have no idea how many millionaires are running around on the server who have done jack shit for their cash, that could run into a store and buy whatever they want.
There is no economy in the server, using real money doesn't work and you might think Terra doesn't get anything in return and just hands things out by compared to people who were handed money for nothing or gave themselves money, they do get something, someone worked for TD and it has real representation as income. It's better then the current system, because anyone who has money has gained it from admins who gave themselves money through a command - unless they made a character application for it, which would be surprising if I ever met that person. But honestly... just do not comment, delete all this damn gibberish and let me refine the bloody faction so that it works. I don't want to waste time commenting and commenting and commenting repeatedly, when I could just be making the thread itself BETTER. ENOUGH.
