Then join the Gaians.

I believe in industrailisation.

Then join Morgan.

I believe in government.

Then join the Spartans.

Still lots of choices if you look at it from the other side.

Ideally though, there should be someone who fulfills all of those qualities. I think Morgan does, but perhaps not.

That said, sign me up!

As a student of economics I can´t help joining this wonderful faction... Let´s see what we can turn into money. I heard the local fauna was a good source of bio-energy...

With Googlie, Tass and possibly Jam within our ranks, I cannot but think the other factions have already failed...

Strange, but this team looks quite similar to the Hive team...?

Shares ... Mmmm Sounds like fun.

So you join us?

[Skanky Burns]

Jam seems to be leading the Spartans, [roleplay]so I don't believe he will joing you capitalist pigdogs.

[Micha]

Yeah, I just figured it out... Just from what he said here, it seemed obvious that he wanted to join.

[roleplay]Maybe you should question his dedication to the Spartan Federation... He admitted the Spartans were the worst faction he ever played... [/roleplay]

I guess I also misunderstood HongHu´s words, seeing she´s an Angel...

[Rubin]

I opt to join. Where do I sign?

And until 'Poly creates the new forums we prolly need our own pre-planning one to get serious discussions going - I'll see what I can set up for this.

Well, here it is. e-mail me for the forums password (and note that you'll be committing to Morgan by so doing!!)

Some thoughts on Directors' Compensation

Morgan Industries is capitalized at, for want of a number, 1000 ec's (with liquidity of 100 to start the game)

Each director has 'anted-up" 50 ec's for their initial shareholding (the paid-up capital - the balance being Treasury stock) If there are 10 initial members then they each own 10% of MI.

Their shareholding fluctautes on a pro-rata basis dependent on the wealth they create for MI (as new bases get founded, each Director - in order of signing up, becomes that Base's Governor (Managing Director) and is responsible for managing that base's contribution to overall wealth which is through the 3 basics - energy, psych and minerals)

(This will be tracked on an XL spreadsheet)

Stock options can be granted (by Board approval) for, say, exceptional base growth or contribution to wealth creation, or notionally to new members so that they can, over time, have the opportunity to grow their stake equal to some founding members.

Out of the wealth generated by bases, a percentage is earmarked for Morgan Industries itself (so that, for example, it can build the Merchant Exchange, or support centralized services such as covert operations - an infantry provbe defender would be the responsibility of each base individually, while travelling probes, or foil/cruiser probes would be the responsibility of Central Services)

So Base Managing Directors have subsequent choices of, for example, building a former for base improvement, or renting one from another base to terraform around it while it concentrates on a Research Hospital, or whatever.

The Director can then create personal "wealth" through increasing the overall pie (of which he has a relatively fixed stake), increasing his base's contribution to that pie (thereby increasing incrementally his stake) or by maximising his own base(s) wealth creation so that the share left over after taxes (for centralized services) and base improvements grows.

Ah, what it is to be a capitalist

In the Spartan Federation it's much more simple. He who has the most arms has the most power.
