Entropia Holdings - Official Thread

[Encicra]

Just some observations, not an attack, for people to think about:

You're very good with words. When I see something like this, while you claim to be professional and work with computers so language would need to be a good quality, I begin to question things.

I love language and breaking it down and learning what people like and don't like to hear. In the case of the original post and the answers that come after it, they're very comforting.

Things that set me off would be that you technically have the money to do this yourself (I'm aware you answered this in a previous post but it still sticks to some degree.) and the words "tick off" in the first post because, let's face it, that is a major understatement. We all know what happens to some people in other games when someone steals an item of rarity/value from another player.

The fact that you've won some people over from the first post also sits uneasy to me because that very much makes me believe that it was designed, not written.

Just saying...

good points

though I would expect a 'pitch' to be designed not written. After all he is pitching his idea and people practice, rehearse and refine their pitches when they are trying to persuade people to commit to their venture.

I have to admit I chuckled a bit when reading some of the recent responses.

I am not Obama. haha

I have spent a while pondering whether or not I should dive into something big in a game like this and know I have a lot to learn about the mechanics of the game in general which lead me to the idea of a community effort.

I'm not making anyone do anything they don't wish to do. Im simply stating an idea I feel would work out to everyones benefit and I trust myself to have the tenacity to pull it off.

I'm jealous of guys like Neverdie who were able to cash in off of the newness of this Universe and I know I have the tools to make a name for myself in it.

If I were seriously wanting to scam people, believe me, this would be much more well thought out prior to trying to gauge interest in the concept. On top of that, I would have put together a nice brochure and got the contact names of the top people in the game and presented them with a minimum buy in with a catch to ensure I make all the money etc etc Kind of like how some people are making millions off of brokering Iraqi Dinar curreny.

This is a simple concept I believe has merit and am interested in bringing in others to work together so we can all make some money.

Let's say I was broke, but bright and were able to make a handful of people a handsome return on their money, would my personal financial status matter? Ok, maybe it would actually to most people but I'm the kind of guy who likes to find talent in the rough and polish them into a diamond. I am a Freemason afterall and hey, thats what we do.

The best thing I can say is, if you aren't comfortable with this concept, then of course don't touch it. If the concept doesn't work out and never happens, I'll be just fine without it. But, if the idea sounds fun and a little exciting, then why not?

Thats how I feel about it anyway.

Hi There,

Subscribing to thread.

I shall follow your progress with the interest of possibly joining this opportunity upon your inception and demonstration of planned activites into this venture.

I am guessing we are speaking to MMA Big Show, President: Jason Appleton ?

Take Care and Good Luck,
It seems you have done your initial research,
Fire Sparkz Lavawalker.

[mmabigshow]

Yet, tis aye, Jason Appleton.

I was hoping I wouldn't have to mention my name in this thread because I didn't want my fighters finding this. lol

Oh well, haha.

you'll come to find that if things go tits up that there are individuals in Entropia that will find out where you live and the like and post it on another website, in the past where one guy scammed another for a rather nice set of armour, long story short scammer said that his brother sold it and he shot his brother in the knee... at the time a lot of well respected members in the community believed him, but when he didn't come through on promising to pay it back people tracked down where he lived, his license plate on his car...

Hi,

I know you wish to have this opportunity open to as many as possible, though some points to consider :

You may wish to consider your proposed minimum investment amount when it comes to investing within LAs.

Generally today and I would be sure with a certain level of competency that you will not find LAs valued under 250k ped, 25k USD of which can easily go above the 500k ped mark for those located next to or containing a teleporter and/or outpost shelter (with auctioneer/crafting terminal/storage facilities). The same will apply for newly released land areas upon current continents and upon newly released;

With this in mind, to keep your record keeping somewhat more maintainable with such large valued investments, you may wish to consider a minimum amount of 100 USD / 1000 ped.

Just something to keep in mind. It also keeps your investors within the serious scope and not the, 'well who cares its only 10 bucks' mindset.

This also would come in line with various countries tax rules (if ever they do become applicable down the track for virtual investments) regarding returns upon of assets valued 100 dollars or more.

RCE is still in it's youth and tax departments around the world / state departments I guess this would come under & congress within the US are still considering ways to tackle virtual finance, virtual item ownership and other income generating virtual assets.

Hope this input will help with the design of your planned inception.

Start to get on the dramatic side of things here Badger,

Yes there are some whacko's in this world, but generally you will find most people here on EF are nice enough people.

Jason has a concept to put forward to the community at large,
I think running fight events he knows the sort of whacko people that can be found out there and already having a a successfully operating fights event business, I highly doubt at this point he is one of your every day scammers

With that being said, please allow him to demonstrate what he has to offer rather than critics and other putting things are the completely whacko end of the scale the whole time
