Cmdr Jeffery Eu Posted September 22, 2001 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2001 Welcome, and thank you for joining us, it will be a privilege to work with you. As I've stated in my post to Outlaw, you're welcomed to help out in organising, structuring and establishing this Corporation, and any and all efforts on anyone's part will be sincerely appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr Jeffery Eu Posted September 22, 2001 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2001 I feel that it is necessary to clarify some matters before we move any further.Intercorp Unlimited is the holding company where a Board of Directors will meet to discuss and brain storm new ways of expanding the group (call it a strategy meeting and partial brain storming group) These Directors will comprise of the Heads of each SubDivision.The Corporation will levy a 4% fees on each SubDivision quarterly or bi-annually (this is still not settled yet and the 4% seems a bit too little)Any holding, asset or infrastructure bought in the name of the Corporation can be used as a staging area by any member of the Corporation for a nominal service fee (To be decided later)Divisions are as listed in my earlier post.Subdivisions are basically the nuts and bolts of the Corporation. This where we generate income for the Corporation. Each subdivision would have it's own hierarchy of organisation. Only castes of a specific subdivision can stage and launch from any holdings, assets and infrastucture belonging to a specific subdivision. Of course any other member caste can choose to launch from another division's bases but they must pay a service fee. (To be decided later)Now there is a reason for charging service fee for launching from different subdivision or Corporation bases.For example Guns For Hire Inc. has a orbital base around Jupiter but a mercenary member needs to fulfill a contract on a planet in Epsilon Eridani, so he could1) take the time to fly through all the space between Jupiter and Epsilon Eridani running through a gauntlet of hostiles and risking death, damage and losses and thereby being unable to fulfill a contract especially if the contract is to meet a specific dateline, or2) he could decide to launch from a Commodities Inc. base which is just one jump away from Epsilon Eridani.However it is unfair to Commodities Inc. for him just to launch from their base without any fees as they have committed time and resources in setting up a base near Epsilon Eridani, while the mercenaries decide to set up on Jupiter, Sol.So anyone should be able to see where I'm heading with this.

Epsilon 5 Posted September 22, 2001 Report Share Posted September 22, 2001 I have 2 things to say1 - Jeffery, could you remove the pack of stars you have at the start of your sig?2 - A raider division doesn't sound right at all. You seem to forget that raiders are enemies to EVERYONE but other raiders. Raiders are the scum of the galaxy, attacking armed and unarmed castes for no reason but personal gain and destruction. Your raiders will have a good time shooting your trading vessels and decimating merc task-forces.[ 09-21-2001: Message edited by: Epsilon 5 ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to forget that raiders are enemies to EVERYONE but other raiders. Raiders are the scum of the galaxy, attacking armed and unarmed castes for no reason but personal gain and destruction. Your raiders will have a good time shooting your trading vessels and decimating merc task-forcesIt depends on your definition of raiders, initially I thought the same as you did but after thinking it over carefully, especially reflecting on the European history of forming privateering companies during the 1800's - 1900's, I saw that incorporating raiders into the Corporation will be beneficial to the Corporation in terms of profit, manpower and new services available.Anyway, it really depends on the player himself, he could of course play a solo game, or he could organise his own guild or he could join us with all the benefits and privileges available not to mention the connections and resources available.[ 09-21-2001: Message edited by: Cmdr Jeffery Eu ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aramike Posted September 22, 2001 Report Share Posted September 22, 2001 Guys, good work, keep it going!One exception though -- the ranks you currently are suggesting are no good. They indicate a military organization, which is precisely what we need to avoid.Rename them to something a little more, civilian, if you will.Other than that, a lot of good thoughts!!!

Cmdr Jeffery Eu Posted September 22, 2001 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2001 Alright, since there has been a call for the change in the names of the ranks to a more civilian one, I came up with thisAdmiral -----> Zeus Vice Admiral -----> Ares Commodore -----> Boreas Senior Commander ----> Zephir Commander -----> Notus Junior Commander -----> EurusThere should be no more complains from now on [ 09-22-2001: Message edited by: Cmdr Jeffery Eu ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had the intercorp charter returned with a note to resend it after it goes gold. Yours probably would end up with the same note My comments (if any) are to follow later.BTW: did you receive my email? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr Jeffery Eu Posted September 23, 2001 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2001 Yes, I got your email three times.

Often I get timeouts (about 8 out of 10 pages). Yesterday I tried to respond about 5 times, but only 2 actually were send to the forum, the others timed out. However, from the office the problem does not exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr Jeffery Eu Posted September 23, 2001 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2001 At home do you use the same ISP as what they use in your office?Anyway don't worry about it, we all understand that the Net is not all that it's touted to be, in fact I get the same problem as you do. Anyway what do you think about the new rank names I have proposed?Well as you can see from the posts Jigoku and Outlaw are willing to join up, hooray Here's to hoping that they can help us make this Corporation a reality.

Dunno about Malleus, but if he joins as well, then there are 5 of us, not bad for a month's work... I hope that they want to contribute in structuring the corporation, but if they just want to be members than that's ok with me as well.BTW: You're on icq?

peterkist Posted September 24, 2001 Report Share Posted September 24, 2001 Hi Jeffery, The problems with my modem only started a few days ago. Today it seems back to the normal level. About Ceasar; was just kidding Let's see what our newest members want first, but recruitment would be a nice job. They might also help out in the HR division. As far as the icq is concerned; it's easier to discuss things using icq, more interactive than mail or the forum. Don't let certain posts in another forum keep you out of your sleep Tac: You're not forgotten, its just that I'm a bit busy at the moment. You'll probably hear from me in about a week.
