I Vote YES to the card as is. No Changes.

[Donald Trump]

Obviously YES

I like this one as posted. Common card: target player loses 1,000 gc/Hour, Avenge 2.

[Haron]

It is a decent card. Most effective against inactives, but since it is common, it will probably become quite cheap, and thus see a lot of use against others as well. I think this card may be a good idea.

But I also think we should get together the legendary cards first.

The point of this card is to add a way to directly hurt low lifes (ie voodoo casters with few ships).

I will say I like the concept of this card, however as designed the only good use for this card is draining
GC off in actives before raiding for ships and captains.

if you wish this to have the original suggested effect it would need a higher gc per hour and a higher avenge

10,000 per hour avenge 5 and 3 stack - if cast just before the hour
would only probably yeild the caster 150,000 gc - the target would then clear it,
as if left up for duration, it would cost far more than a purify or serenity.

1 cast - normally - will yeild - 240,000 gc in 24 hours - if not cleared
1 cast as an avenge - will yeild 50,000 per card per hour until cleared
and would yeild 1,200,000 - if for some odd reason it was not cleared.

what is this going to be worth on the market - not much in my opinion.

I would love to have this when trying to zero out the gc on an inactive - however I see it as a card
that will just collect in my inventory and probably get burned up by a gris gris because they don't sell for enough on the market.
or Is my math just off today?

[Haron]

I think you're right, Will.

However: This will probably become a rather cheap card. Also, it is a threat if not removed. Thus, I see this card as something that may be used to force targets (or their protectors) to spend clearing voodoo. Which is expensive.

Also, the existence of this card will make it even more important to be part of an active guild. If that is a good thing or a bad thing is up for discussion, of course.

3 common cards that can provide 3.6M gold over 24 hours?? Of course that would NOT get cleared because it would just get replaced buy 3 more common cards.

The proposed version of 1,000gc, average 2, stack 3= 144,000 gold in 24 hours (3 cards). Oddly that's exactly the current price of a credit on the credit market so I'd expect this card will sell for just less than 1/3 of a credit which seems about right. To a new player 144,000 is significant and to a guild the possibility of draining an inactive's fleets is significant. I believe the original proposal is just right.
