Since you are not part of SSS anymore, kindly remove your assets from Sol.  :)

Well, honestly I feel that you can't claim all of Sol for yourself. You want a whole system for yourself, get anything but Sol. Sol should be a free place for all people. For your information, I have removed my assets from Jupiter, however I do not wish to place my satellites and harvesters in other systems, as it will cost a lot.

Its funny, though, how this thread has more views than the actual recruitment poster itself.  :21:

well, actually SSS has the power to claim whatever they want.  

Any one can claim anything, if they can defend it.

The recruitment poster is a closed, inactive topic, this one is open and active.

This was locked once more, and if you dare, why don't you post a 'You're mad, Madden' thread again.

If you have any comments or suggestions, send "Madden" an in-game message or pm.

I would but I don't think we are finished with this one. lol

I could not resist neither

Madden say: "The Scorpion Corporation of Renegade Pirates was formed during the late months of 2015."

Quite impressive, you are 10 to 12 months ahead of us.

Guess this is what I get for not checking out the forums when I first came back this morning, I really would have enjoyed pointing out that little mistake lol.

On the other hand... Madden, are you a time traveler? I have only one very important question if you are, has SirEmi fixed the combat system yet? xD


Title: Re: Your'e mad, Madden
Post by: Madden on January 03, 2015, 01:11:15 AM
:D Whoops.  :sweat

"SCORP would like to announce the completion of a protocol time travel machine, thanks to SCORP Laboratories." "We have travelled far into the future and created SCORP then. And then we returned, confident, as we were a very big corporation in the future." We're currently planning to travel back to the past. Donations will be very helpful :D So...if you want to see a time travel machine, why not send over some QP?   :19:

And in the future, combat was disabled and the whole game just became a non-combat space exploration game where everybody earned points by discovering new stars.

++ I never said when you could see the time travel machine. It could be like during the year 3000. ++

Yes you are indeed mad. Especially since a lot of people like to look down on Pirates.  Stay away from my people and you should be good though. Also you may eventually rethink the whole no tax thing.  Corp ship licenses get pretty expensive.


Title: Re: You're mad, Madden
Post by: Madden on February 17, 2015, 02:47:25 AM
Don't worry...we're pretty GOOD pirates. Most of the time we just pirate, or "recycle" as we like to call it, inactive captains' ships and stations, so don't worry :)

As for the taxes issue, I think I'll just make a vote and see if my members are willing to pay a little bit of tax.

Not like I'm planning to have another corp ship so soon anyway, the problem now is increasing the members because we're getting a bit full here. :P

Maybe it says something about the spirit of the corp when you impose a mandatory tax on your members because they do not support the corp enough to give voluntarily.

the Empire levees no tax and has no problem with licenses...

Maybe it says something about the members if they can't even handle such a small contribution to the corp on a regular basis. Personally I find it a lot more convenient to have it be automatic than to think about "Oh I have x amount of solars I can probably spare 10% of that, let me go through these various pages and then manually input some number to give. And yes I can be kinda lazy sometimes lol. As long as taxes aren't over like 5-7.5% then I don't see any problem with it.

It saves time from everyone having to donate to the corp fund manually.  It isn't a high tax and my people don't have an issue with it.  Even Sargas admitted to me once he can understand why now i had to set the tax like I did. BTW the increase of the tax to the current one actually only happened because we had the majority of our members at the time agree to it. Not to mention I do contribute a lot of my own solars to the corp.  Any of my people can tell you that. BTW our next license will cost us $432,283,676.   We aren't even there yet on corp funds but that's ok.  There is a lot of upgrades I am working on doing at the moment and when we are ready for another ship, we should have the funds for it.  No one is being asked to donate to it either. Don't need to.  It is why we got taxes.

sargas understood the need for a temporary 2% corporate tax during the first IMG war. But it was not rescinded after the war and creation of the AG. Then JJ wanted to increase it to 5%. I disagreed and formed the Empire (I did not like the direction JJL was leading PMI). After I left, Mata left and then Gronk and Sinn. PMI then changed to 'The Galactic Empire' and adopted a jingoistic persona. Only the tax remains.

I took things into a more naval direction.  As you recall we did vote on the tax raise and the raise passed by a slim margin.  But it did pass. We also voted on a new name and this was the one that had the majority votes.  In many ways those the corp is very much the same. Only most of us don't mine anymore and we encourage others to do COMs.  I won't tell them not to mine if they don't want to. But most see that is isn't the best way to grow.  Even Bob decided to begin doing COM missions.  We both know how much he loved mining.

The 5% tax, the name change, and the new direction happened after I left.
You, however (like Dadds), have always had a jingoistic nature.

If you wish to use me as an example, you need to be truthful about both deeds and time.


Title: Re: You're mad, Madden
Post by: JamJulLison on February 17, 2015, 10:22:28 PM
Your right I have always been a bit aggressive with stuff on here.  I also can be very reasonable as well. I even do things to avoid war.  I am no where near as far gone as Dadds was. While our corp has gone in a more military type directions. Thing within the corp are still very much the same. Only more of our people have ships capable of fighting if we need to then we used to.  Unfortunately things in the past have shown me that this is necessary. Plus it means we can do more COMs and keep up good incomes. The tax change was for the good of the corp.  It is still a rather low tax. Also it isn't like I can be like today's politicians and take the money for myself. Every bit that is collected goes towards corp ships for corp use.
