I didn't say the whole thing, I said 2/3 of the draft. My whole program took me 4 years + 1 semester + 1 week + 1 day, and I actually set the departmental record for fastest completion. I did it by taking no vacations for three years. I'm not sure where you're getting this "take the shortest amount of time."

Historicist methodology means that I engage with historical sources as much as literary ones, and my argument situates a literary issue into a historical context. My dissertation did a close reading of how a common set of themes in English seventeenth-century literature was actually a propaganda debate. I was looking at the texts, commentaries on them, historical studies, and archival materials to make this case.

If it's Edwards saying "give me a year" then whatever, expect it in a year - I guess I got the various promised times confused. Where did "3 months" come from? I thought the "1 year from kickstarter to published" timetable had "3 months for Jeff Edwards to write the thing"

I just think this author sees an incredible opportunity for himself with this. It's never been done before, this "based on actual events In a non actual sci fi world". A fictional story based on real characters who influenced events in a fictional world. He'll be the first to attempt it, gotta set the bar high and I guess he just wants to do his diligence.

I'm not sure when CCP created the lore around crew sizes they really thought through the ramifications of a society that loses billions of people a year to space piracy. I guess it could be a drop in the bucket compared to the total population in the cluster, but still.

yep on all counts

So in theory as much as I put in I will get out I.E. If I am willing to reimburse people for dread losses out of my commission people would more likely be willing to use capitals in efforts to moderate the region I oversee? I imagine if I start FCing it would probably help the case as well. But basically if you want your region controlled then you got to be willing to open the wallet for reimbursement and incentives for people to help. (Forgot if that last sentence was a question or statement.)

well i think the enforcement angle would be mostly covered by alliance SRP, you wouldn't really need to cajole anyone to burn things for you with your fight money

the general idea is that the alliance does nothing but burn structures and moons, the viceroy's job is to squeeze vassals as hard as they can but not actually make them go "gently caress this" and quit

and if "gently caress this" happens it's not a big deal either

But if you are willing to throw your personal earned isk on top of SRP I'm sure people are willing to burn poo poo a little quicker. Offer bounties for POSs and pay Isk/hour to individuals using dreads and carriers to just knock poo poo over (higher than current ratting rates) with full capital reimbursement I'm sure people would be willing to help "take a bat to the knee caps".

Like we told scooter, "We love the gumption, but cool it until things are a little more defined."

As for spending a percentage of your cut, no real need to SRP coalition forces but we are looking at letting you pay off one of your vassals with isk or favor in order to form a colonial militia.

I would just want my region extorted in style - if you die your kill mail looks like it belonged in the yacht club.

Plus I would like to make "muscle work" more profitable than sitting in a haven and ask ratting.

Edit: SRP is more than enough but sometimes people just like seeing ~numbers in their wallet~ to feel accomplished and I would be willing to do that is what I'm trying to say I guess.

It's pretty much just 'grr mittani grr' and 'why don't you just disband to make us happy even though we hate you and yours', which are things I'm entirely comfortable with. I'm not sure why our foes think we owe them anything, or react with such thwarted entitlement when we don't hurt ourselves on their behalf. My theory is that it comes from the structure of subreddits - the idea of popularity from 300 upvotes gives rise to a false expectation of an impact on reality.

So its basically a good idea all around, is what I'm saying.

"Oh no I'm banned from reddit!" - no one ever

Edit: The worst that could happen is we sperg rush r/eve and over run it ultimately causing it to go into the shitter or become a forgotten subreddit which is win win.

Edit 2: Also I would like to go ahead and say that this is not at all a serious idea, please don't take strategic paps per reddit post literally. Unless you think it's halarious and would be a great idea then by all means it was my idea.
