Come on, let's step it up everyone! Ideally we shoulf be at least getting throufh 3 IC days per IRL week. That's pretty much just a mere 3-4 posts a week from everyone I thonk which is not so much. Any more than that is even better.
Thank you Warork and Harrab, excellent post.

Bit disappointed by the lack of posts from some people. The posts that have been done have been rather excellent, so thank you those who did post.
I will be moving it to day 3 tonight most likely.
Advance notice, if your gang is inactive for entire IC week (6 IC days) then I'm just going to disband them, ie remove them from the game to make room for other players.
Oh yeah by the way guys, this game does potentially have an infinite (or at least long-lasting) life cycle. As gangs die off, new ones will inevitably spring up in their place (I'll have those of you who have your gangs destroyed have some 'time out' before I allow them to rejoin with another gang and they'll probably start off with less than the 1K thrones or something).
Obviously if you're away like Nepty without much ability to post, I'll be more understanding. But otherwise, I'll be cracking down on inactivity.

So it has become obvious to me that the current money system is far too unkind to the players. So i will be altering it in the morning to be much more user friendly, ie you guys get much more money.

They don't even need to, they could just do good old fashioned character development or something along those lines.
In any case I'll be seeing about improving the thrones system so you lot don't have most of your money wasted.

Okay, I've been sitting here all day absolutely frustrated by how to solve this income issue, as most solutions either unbalanced everything or were too complicated. Still, I've settled on this method that should be fairly simple, fair and not punish people for having increased income or make their additional income from brawling etc redundant.
Right new idea, upkeep is now worked via a flat % reduction.
Number of people in gang - percent reduction from income 1-3 - 5% 4-6 - 10% 7-9 - 15% 10-12 - 20% 13-15 - 25% 16-18 - 30% 19-21 - 35% 22-24 - 40% 25-27 - 45% 28-30 - 50%
E.g. a gang of 11 people make 100 thrones income, so it is reduced by 20% meaning their final income is 80 thrones. It seems like the fairest and simplest compromise, as removing upkeep costs entirely means there'd be 0 downside to just having an absolutely massive gang and would do my head in keeping track of everyone.
Anyway, this is how we're going to do it. I will go back and recalculate your incomes for day 3 and PM them to you. Let me know what you think of this new system, I hope everyone approves.
