This is tough. The problem to me is where do you draw the line? I know I have given a lot of money to people in my gang and sub gangs to help them get houses and/or better weapons. I just figured this is what you do to help make your members stronger. I never really thought there was anything wrong with it. I know in this case the amount we are talking about is huge, but when should the admins say it's too much? That I am not sure about.

Tobith Wrote:Are you just upset about it because it wasn't you that received the cash? Would you feel differently if it was?

Haha, hell ya! I want my money!! In all seriousness, I am not upset about it. I am happy for the people who got the money. I am trying to leave my emotions out of this and look at it as unbiased as I can. But to be honest, if I recieved the cash I sure as hell wouldn't want it taken away, lol.

Tobith Wrote:Should there be some sort of tax on this just like the Government taxes these things?

This is an idea I really, really like. I think there should be a tax on all cash transfers regardless of the size. I think this will make people think twice about giving away cash. Not sure what a good percentage would be though, maybe 35?

Because this is going to affect the game. If you don't care about the game then you shouldn't care. But if you enjoy the game and want to keep the game from turning into CC or Metro Wars or any of the other games were things our out of control, then you should care. This game has done a great job of keeping the economy in check and I hope that continues.

So I guess overall I think they should be able to keep the money, but there should be a tax on all future cash transfers (and maybe even apply it to the big one). Maybe even a limit on how much cash you can transfer per day or something so if a person quits, they can't just give away all their cash at once.
