I agree with you that Deathifier wants to say he's not an owner, but I also think that since he did put money in and is expecting something in return as it's not a 'gift' that he'll get no return on, he is indeed an investor, which makes him at least a partial owner in some way. I'd assume there is some contract between the Planet Parnter and Deathi that clarifies that that no one will ever be privy to other then the parties involved --- even a verbal contract is still a contract...
As mentioned in other threads, it IS a big deal about how MA deals with Deathifier, the investor, since DA Manager on RT is in a very similar type of situation as Deathi right now... (we still await that press release DA said he was going to put out, along with the finalization of that website he still has not got done yet)
mastermesh : deatifier dos not own arkadia or its planet.
deathifier is only the investor.
like if you want to start something big in real life and you dont have enhough money to do it, you can search for a investor.
when you found one and he invests a X amount of money in you plan and compagny this will not automaticly say he own's your compagny.
If deathi gets any return on investment back, he's in a contract with the planet partner company. That makes him become either a planet partner, an employee of that planet partner, or a third party investor of sorts. So far, what the planet partner agreement says about third party investors has not been clarified by anyone... Even what it says about employees and pps themselves has not been clarified. ND is the only one that has mentioned anything about it, and he might just just been doing that for hype since he's still actively doing quests and looting stuff he kills.... It might well be possible that the entire 'planet partners cannot play nor can their employees' stuff just was something ND made up as a part of the backstory of RT?!?
and i can't imagine that deatifier really likes former ND much , there have been many auction wars between those 2 and those wars have costed them both a lot.
Always best to keep your enemies closer then your friends.
the egg however is sold because former neverdie had to die ,, jis avatar had to go john jacobs is owner director from NDS.
The bank still is not sold yet as far as I know... and apparently ND has other assets on him too if he's killing zombies?
deathifier is only a investor in a compagny ,for that he can either lose his investment if all shit breaks lose or make a nice yearly income made of profit.
What defines 'ownership'? What deathi and most investors do is bascially buy in with shares or partnership. Right now, it looks like Deathi is a 'partner' of the Planet partner behind Arkadia, just like Ozi is... Partnerships have different rules and regulations then stockmarkets.
Right now, as mentioned in some other threads, there's quite a few folks that used to work for NDS as interns it appears... Does the PP contract that says employees can't participate actually include them now, even though they have not worked for NDS over a year? Does it apply to employees of the company? What about third party investors like Deathi? The rules are about as clear as the muddy river... the rules have never really been told by anyone other then ND, and the info he put out there is not extremely clear either, especially since ND himself is still 'participating' with the quests and things he's doing, auctions he's participating in, etc. There's a lot of clarification needed because right now it's all completely unclear about what the heck is going on, who can and cannot participate, and what trust the community does have is really up in the air since so much of all of this is being left as a bunch of grey areas that the planet partners and MA itself does not seem to want to address at the moment because they have not made up the rules yet... This sort of stuff should not be as dynamic as the game itself, but at the moment it is.
Why do I give a damn about any of this... because I, just like all you folks, care about the safety and security of this game and platform, and eventually might want to someday change up my own position in the universe and invest in a planet partner, become a planet partner, or maybe sell assets that might eventually end up in a planet... it's highly possible that some 3d asset or texture I sell someday on a third party's website might end being bought by NDS, etc., that I might want to actually try for a job at NDS or another planet partner, etc., just like others in the community might want to do someday...
and I want it all clarified in black and white what the heck all the rules are and how they affect everyone since it's not clear right now...
I honestly think becoming a pp blew up in ND's face since he wanted to keep participating, and still is participating... and I think unless things get clearer soon and well defined soon it'll blow up on any potential planet partner in a similar manner, if not worse way... MA wants this platform to survive as we all do, but unless they get clear about stuff, and clarify the questions and grey areas things won't get any better any time soon...
