[Declined] MoD Taxing to Gal Fund

[Ginga]

Perhaps it would be good if the MoD could set a tax rate at which a percentage of everyone in the galaxys res per tick would be placed into the fund. Say a percentage of up to 50%.

This would be quite good as it would mean everyone plays a fair roll in contributing.

[The_Mad_Keg]

i like the idea but 50% is way to much

[Nadar]

Or he could be a real d**khead and put tax-rate sky-high? It'd also be unfair for those who didn't agree to it..

This idea has been suggested and rejected. I cannot see why it would be different this time.

[furball]

Perhaps an opt-in gal tax?

Do we now ignore what PA Team members say? (openly)

[Kal]

as a stand alone system there is little point in it right now, as the galaxyy fund is largly pointless - a tax system would encourage people to donate - the whole galaxy and alliance funding system needs overhauling, and taxation could posisbly be part of that overhaul

with people opting out of the tax system also opting out of the advantages , such as trading with the gal fund, forcing them to pay the higher rate on the open market and preventing them from receiving donations from the gal fund. this would mean that those who want to contributte and make the gal work well can do those who don't can opt out and rue that decision when they are crushed.

should only be able to change opt in/out once every hundred ticks or so to prevent any abuse of the system. Tax rate should be set at the same time so peeps are sure what they are opting into and out of.

but yes the maximum % should be a lot lower maybe a max of 10% per tick, altho if this idea was adopted others are much better than numbers that I

the most most utterly retarded idea yet submitted.

Kal, no offense, but you really dont understand how much the gal fund is used. People NEVER have even roid amounts, and massive tradign back and forth is the only way to avoid the 25% penalty of trading with the universe.

To FORCE players to give up part of their income to whichever buddypack got the most votes is just rediculous.

[NitinA]

Kal, forced or opt-in taxation from a user's resouces is bad in multiple ways. Unless the overhaul of the "funds" system are *drastic*, I can't see this helping more than hurting/pissing people off.

[Kal]

did i ever mention forcing anyone to do anything? I just set the whoel galaxy funding and alliance funding system needs an overhaul and some form of taxation could well be part of that

PAteam and logic don't go to well together.

[Kal]

this suggestion will be declined, but something may appear one day just not in this form

I think this is a really good idea, it would give the fund more resources for people to trade with, and it would give resources for the MoD to distribute to the worse off players....
the MoD can set the tax rate at whatever he wants (upto 100%)
and if everyone thinks that the MoD sucks, the nhe can get changed by the GC..... i don't ANY disadvantages.....

now THIS is the stupidist idea i have ever read, if you come at it from a mature perspective, optingin and out of costs and benefits this is a workable idea, but this just made me laugh

[noah02]

I dont see the problem with the way the MoD works at the moment.
Maybe every single MoD fund should have 100k of each resource in after shuffle and always have a minimum of 300k in the fund that can never be handed out.

Just an idea.

Read my lips, no more taxes!

That would work, it's worth trying (if not too much coding involved)... atm i hate when some people use the fund for trading but refuse to donate.

by trading you are donating 5%
