CEOs should be able to buy, sell, and trade members on contract

There comes a time in everyone's life when they need to sit down and determine their monetary value as a person. This attitude has been missing from EVE thus far.

I think that players should be bought and sold on contracts by their CEOs. When put on contract they are bound to serve the buyer for the length of the contract period.

To keep this from being used to grief newer players (for example, recruit some noobs and sell them for trillions. They'll never escape.) the CEO cannot sell you for more money than you have in your wallet. This means players can buy back their freedom if put on contract unwantedly by simply accepting it themselves.

I think this would be a big boost to the Amarr, who would get a racial bonus to employee trading.

Things are only impossible until they are not.

Only if Minmatar pilots acquired through this system can never leave.

Well I've been trying to slip it in the drinks of any Minmatar pilots I come across.

Thing is, they seem to be immune nowadays....

Actually, that is an awesome idea.

This is actually not the stupidest thing the OP has posted.

Hilmar and I think it's an interesting idea.

I shudder to think of what he has posted before if this is not the stupidest the OP has posted.

Obviously we should use aurum for all of these pilot transactions.

I couldn't in good conscience inflict WIDOT upon a fellow human being for such a low price.

Heh.

Blowing up Mining Ships is now practically a fetish.
