Sharing Beta Juice

Unread post by Cowboy » Fri Jun 03, 2011 4:16 am

Is it possible to send someone a Beta Juice, they drink it, and send it back?

Is this allowed?

I would say if a player paid moolah to borrow and drink it (via trade system, with agreeable collateral) that could be considered kosher. Just giving it to another player (via pmail and the honor system) is borderline multi abuse. Also, in a roundabout kind of way, two players sharing one Beta Juice, albiet philanthropic and generous, has an underlying feeling of undermining Gobb, given that a Token is surrendered to get a BJ (heh.) And Tokens, as you know, are a gift for donating to the game. So whether you donate, buy a Token and trade, buy the Juice, or even just win one or are given one out of generosity, at one point somebody donated so that Juice could enter the Economy/market. Sharing a Juice effectively robs Gobb of that donation.

We considered that when we made it, and yes it's both possible and allowed, unless the "other player" is your multi, in which case you're probably just being a git. Regardless, remember that anything you do that prevents someone donating is probably a bad thing in the long run. We're hardly overrun with donations as it is, and the server ain't gonna pay for itself.
