Resseling is awesome. Thanks to Sevs' attempt to shut down the market I turn 30% profit on every penny that comes by way.

Looks like Sevs failed to shut down the market. Though he did raise my profits significantly.

You don't have to try to start an argument Shadow.  ::)

What is the market tax? I don't think I've seen that before this round.

[Shadow]

It's always been there, but I made it appear on the news feed this round. It gets higher for higher net. Basically you just don't get that percentage of the sale. Minimum 7%, max 50%, thought only a far-gone emperor would see anything above 30%.

[Sharptooh]

Seems a little steep to me, although I guess it kind of makes sense for such a tax to exist.

I'm guessing that cash taxed just dissapears into the void?

[Peace Alliance]

It's sent to Hidden Fox.

Indeed

[Night Wolf]

That will teach you to mess with sevah!

[Sevah]

I laughed that Shadow's bragging about rigging the game and getting rich at my expense. Keep posting fool. You just got put on my list.

[Shadow]

Which list would that be?

[Sevah]

I'm gonna waste you and hidden fox. Claiming to be passive but together your a good pair aye

[Shadow]

I buy from mercs and sell on the market ^_^ Or else make food and do that.

I guess I am showing favoritism to things that aren't skiffs, but there's good economic reasoning for that.

[Sevah]

But you are going down weasel.

The tax exists to offset the use of the market to aid people who are out of aid range. A locking emperor getting aid this way will be losing half of all resources sent around that way, whereas most players will not see it get out of the low teens for the most part. Steep is a relative term, though. Compared to merc prices, even at 50% tax, you are making a profit.

[Sevah]

thanks for feeding me all the defence I could ever need to get where I am.
