I know its a bit late. But if all of this is for the Good of the island and of the people, why not use the poe you make off it for something good. edit: also if it where for "healthy competition" it wouldnt b at 100% edit2: Therefore not giving a shit for people, just for yourselves. ---------------------------------------- Viridian ----------- Iwnabeu ---------------------------------------- [Edit 2 times, last edit by fransalle at Jan 25, 2012 6:05:10 PM] |

Flooding the island with shoppes only makes it harder to get into the market because you have to undercut the overstocked market already.
http://yppedia.puzzlepirates.com/Bazaar Cheaper for new players. What is that? A way to enter the market? Can this be true? Just about every player who makes a habit in running shoppes started with stalls. The majority of the "upcoming" players that you want to help do not have 2mil to buy a shoppe on Kirin. Or even 350k on Fintan, Laby, or Napi. Stalls are cheaper to buy and can be profitable. When you make them compete with mass amounts of shoppes, it isn't profitable for stall owners, therefore these upcoming players cannot make money. ---------------------------------------- Captainrich |

I was merely proposing a theory and then defending it. If you find it imperial enough to argue so passionately about it, I would rather allow you to have your way. As an exponential of this, you can see, Legacy is already passing. ---------------------------------------- Nag, Illi |

Furthermore, if you add or subtract enough exponentials in the complex plane, you get precisely what Legacy is, a simple harmonic oscillator that is not complex at all. And to the-numbers-do-not-lie-Legacy: In the complex plane all numbers are multiplied by the square root of -1. This plane is closed to you, because where you are, this number is multiplied by zero. You are stuck in a one-dimensional world while the rest of us are not. EDIT: Nagflar knows well and perhaps can explain to the denser parts of Legacy, that complex exponentials, complex planes, and harmonic oscillators are fancy words to say simple things. Without the ideas expressed so elegantly in these concepts our cell phones, cars, computers, civilization, etc. would not work. ---------------------------------------- Sverdrup, CPTN of Schroedinger's Cat, Heisenberg's Uncertainty, Meridian ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by Sverdrup at Jan 26, 2012 6:46:57 AM] |

The complex plane has nothing to do with geometry though. It's simply a function system to explain the situations around the number (or is it a letter?) i. For instance if Z=6+6i then you could place this in the first quadrant of the complex plane to further explain the math around it. Oh, and Sverdrup's little joke about the harmonic oscillator. Basically the plane is made up from two axises, one to measure to real part of the number (that's the 6) which is the X-axis, and then you've got the Y-axis that measures the complex part of the number (that's the 6i). If you add or subtract exponentials in this plane, the location of the spot would due to fairly simple mathematics move up or down (the absolute value of the function or whatever you call it gets multiplied with the exponent thus moves twice, thrice etc as far away from origo (and vice versa)) just like a harmonic oscillator (for instance a normal spring) would. Yay math+physics. ---------------------------------------- Dahl "I have higher moral standards" gren |

Following quotes are by Cremate/Motou/Setsusa.
One pirate can make that, yes. But nothing stops a pirate in the flag that has the island from doing the same. No matter how you spin it, the flag that holds the island (and builds on it and/or keeps high taxes, but building is the big thing) has the upper hand because for the same amount of work, they do get a little more poe. This gets even more obvious in SMA situations. When one alliance holds the majority of the islands (like AoD with RM/Boob in it after Vanguard died), the combined island incomes serves to make them even stronger by comparison, and lets them pay for a jobber lead in defenses, that serve to discourage attacks more than anything. At the same time, the flags that are outside of the SMA are almost powerless. If they manage to get an island, the SMA can easily beat back on them to "punish them for bad governing", but the minority flags can never successfully do the same. They can try but they will be outjobbed, they will lose, and they fill fight an uphill battle due to the island incomes that help fund the defenses. On top of this, if anyone on the minority side needs a shoppe, the only one that can provide them with it is the SMA side. The firmer their grip of the islands, the higher the shoppe prices because there is no competition. This means that even more poe moves from minority to SMA. An example of how discouraging this situation can be, especially for new flags, was when a flag actually tried to attack the SMA at Carmine (yes, Carmine) after it was sold within the alliance, and ended up spending 20 millions and losing. Both back then and now, I can only see that as a SMA wall that is kept high and fortified, making sure that noone breaks through, and that few even dare to try. With an excess of shoppes on the market, it will be harder for any alliance to pull that off again, because they will not be able to monopolise the market in the same way. I'm not saying that it was wrong of them to do it (except for the trashing of others for doing the same) but noone in their right minds can say that the shoppes RM built and and sold on Kirin, Terra (only on rubble, ofc, since its Terra), Jubilee, Labyrinth Moors and Tigerleaf Mountain while in SMA did not matter for their defense funds or for people's willingness to attack them.
Thank you!
Are you sure? From my experience, it doesn't take a lot. Maybe he has a different accent, maybe he's fat, maybe he's too smart and knows all the answers in class, maybe he's black, maybe he has an odd taste in clothes, maybe he has ADHD and can't sit still... Any of these things can be enough for all the others to pick on him, and it rarely does much good. We can leave that though. I didn't mean to get personal the way you chose to take it, and I will not keep up the discussion. I just wanted to state that negative communication only is a very destructive way to go about things.
Yeah, got you. VP style.
This thread has passed 250 posts, many of them quite long. I'm pretty sure that the people who actually read it all are very, very few. Are you seriously complaining that not every novel is answered with another novel? If we all answered in detail to everything that we didn't quite agree with, or wanted to comment on, and still read all the posts, we wouldn't be doing anything else with our time. And lastly, for Fifa:

I think it's adorable that you mention RM and BOOB in the AoD but not one word about how they broke out of it. This is actually quite common and is a natural stage of the cycle we appear to go through here on Viridian. Players that I look up to, skilled players has throughout history upsetted the stagnancy that tends to settle every now and then (Notorious Fandango, Coerced Coexistence, RiddleMakers+BooB, and plenty other flags I'm forgetting to mention), most usually because they enjoy the art of blockading and whatnot. There are ways to beat your opponents that doesn't involve outfunding them, and as history repeatedly shows us people are able to overthrow regimes of great power. The island income does come into play slightly, but it hasn't stopped us before and I doubt it will in the future.
This is bullshit. There are other ways to getting a shoppe than dropping one. Take a peak at the bazaar, the place is usually littered with shoppe's for sale.
To see this coming from a self-declared vegan is quite interesting. This is a game, we can all see that, but that doesn't mean we should trash it for personal gain just because we can. An island holder has a responsibility towards not only those who helped them get the island, but the coming generations of Y!PP players that will play the game. If we continue at this rate every island will look like Terra and Napi and at some point, someone will have to clean up the mess we make. As always, if people fail to honour these responsibilities the community will turn against them (as they've done here). ---------------------------------------- Dahl "I have higher moral standards" gren |

I agree with Dahl , Think about the next waves of players. Im sure they will be thankful to those people who Builded so much on the islands on the past , that they might not even get to see how the island looks/looked like.
Thanks for clariffying to me that Legacy is basically about the Build build build pave the islands kind of people. And also i did not say only me would/enjoys this "As clean as posible" aspect of the islands , I know of many people who enjoy Having the chance to experience the islands layout. Just to show how Hypocrite you are thinking more on were/what/how to build on The islands and not giving shit about the rest of the people who enjoy and the newcomers that will come to the game and would enjoy looking at an island, Not a "So Full with buildings i cant really see if it is an island" kind of Island. Good job Avienda. I hope i dont ever see another post of any of you , specially you avienda , How Anyone Else Builds/builded this or that at this or that rate like you did previously on this Thread , Or pointing your finger at Paving flags. Oh and PS:i forgot to mention earlier on the Posts, You dont need to drop a shoppe for everyone to make it better on the market, (And i believe it was said by someone earlier in the thread too but cant remember if, so anyways ) You could of always gave the stall owners something back a % of the rent payments back or a reward of 2/3k (since you guys dont do it for the money but for "helping the ocean stall owners who want to upgrade" Giving them some kind of metary exchange weekly would help em enough to open a second/3rd stall or enough to buy more materials to keep those stall running smoothly and still keeping a high profit from all they do on the stall/s on their pocket. Edit : Fixing words adding some stuff As you were asking before of some issues that were valid on why building so much was bad, I gave ya one, But i see its better to Have a lol at someone when they give you a good point rather than taking it into consideration. But hey. Its legacy. ---------------------------------------- What A R.......R....Real bad joke.

Double post, I know. Just wanted to say. Its pretty Awesome to see KO Dusting shoppes to fix some of the island looks (or thats how i see it) and others who dont G.A.F and Take those kind of efforts and whippe their Booty's with it.

Toot toot. tooooot. tooot toot tooooot. toot toot. and oh yeah toot. Um. RM/BooB outside of the AoD wasnt really an SMA and therefor would not have been relevant to the subject of SMAs controlling the majority of islands. ---------------------------------------- LoLune I'm still just the guard dog.

Out of interest, what kind of state are these shoppes in? Are you buying shoppes that have been run at a profit and contributed to the island's economy or shoppes that have barely been used/were sitting dark? Are you having to pry these out of the owner's hands or are they pretty willing to offload these deeds? It would provide interesting insight into the state of shoppekeeping on paved islands. ---------------------------------------- [removed by SOPA] |

Shipyards: 1. Fleet of Agamemnon - This was dropped recently in January 2012. Looks like it was going to be used for buillding flag fleet of the owner. However, they only made 2 brigs during the 8 days they owned it. The owner asked me if I was interesed in buying it. 2. Leviathan's lathe - It seems that this shoppe was storing paints/cloths and selling some ships/bludgeons. In the last week of ownership, it got orders of 2 sloops and 1 bludgeon. The owner then sold all the hold dockside and advertised the shoppe for sale @ Lima inn. Weaveries: 1. Tactically Weaving - Unused and taxes were unpaid for 2 weeks. The owner was going to event away the shoppe but ended up selling to us for a cheap price to dust it instead. This shoppe will be the first one to dust (18 days) even though we bought it this weekend. 2. Arachne's Web - Shoppe placed in January 2012. Untouched for the week it paid rent. The owner asked me to buy it for a cheap price to dust. Iron Monger: *Weapons for the Myrmidon's - Another shoppe placed in January 2012 used for flag production. Produced 1000 mcbs (but it wasn't priced to sell) and had some minerals. The owner sold all the stocks dockside (cbs included) and asked me if I wanted to buy. Other than this, 2-3 shoppes have been dark for almost 2 weeks with dormant owners/managers. So we should be able to dust atleast 8 by the time blockades are enabled again. ---------------------------------------- Cairna Monarch of Knockout on Meridian & Emerald Loiosch says, "when do we ci" Karthika says, "cai might spank me if i do" |
