Contract to One's Self:

While this is not really a 'feature request' it would be turned down by the bug hunters as not being 'a bug'.

The game allows one to create a personal contract to a given character. But if that character is one's self it does not allow them to ACCEPT said contract. This is also true (according to the error message) is the contractor and contracted entity are the same corporation.

Quote:
This is your contract
You cannot accept contracts issued by yourself and your corporation cannot accept contracts issued by your corporation.

I will not quibble about the isk lost in this experiment of mine. I WILL state that the fact that one can initiate things in the game that cannot be completed due to game mechanics preventing them is idiotic. ie, One can set the password of a secure container to ' ' but then not open the container because the game doesn't accept ' ' as a valid password (it doesn't acknowledge leading blank spaces as BEING there).Evil

* NOTE: One can also not accept a contract they made to their corporation.


In the end, what is wrong with one being able to accept a contract made to themself?
Ugh

Strange. A friend of mine is doing this as we speak. She seems to have no problems.

Fake edit: I just made a courier contract to myself from the corp.
