Termination is fairly rare, only in the case of extreme... Badness.

Yet, it is always considered thoroughly, for it's more merciful purposes. (Killing rogue alpha forks, eliminating compromised (by virii) agents before they compromise others, killing psis who develop beyond human limits, ect.)

Hmmm, if Ellen's father died (forever) during the Fall, and she inherited his hypercorp, does that give her a steady (outrageous) income?

Because that would be awesome. And it would cut down the timeframe for her plan to control a Pandora Gate by half.

Most hypercorps are decentralized, non-asset-based legal entities.

... fucking hypercorps. Well, it should get her a share, anyway, right? That should still be an outrageous amount of creds.

Did you even read the part on Hypercorps?

H-hang on, hang on, you're killing me here. I gotta stream this convo with my autonomist friends. Stand by...

Dracorion · 05-24-2010, 11:59 PM

I skimmed over it, actually. And I can't for the life of me find whatever it is you're talking about.

even by modern standards you cant own (entirely) a corperation. Its is a seperate entity. It would be like owning america. You can have alot of influence on what it does or complete control on one area, but you can never own it.

long as there is someone to hire new people, which can be a AI now, everyone in the entire corp can die without affecting the business in any significant way

Dracorion · 05-25-2010, 12:15 AM

Yeah yeah. But there's always controlling interest.

For hypercorps in this game, yeah, any stake that Ellen could would probably be insignificant. But hey, money. She needs some. A lot of it, actually. I'm just trying to come up with a way for her to get it.

I'm actually highly dissappointed there's no sex hypercorp in Eclipse Phase. I mean, in a post-singularity universe where everyone can be straight, lesbian and bisexual at the same time and everyone lives forever so marriage is a joke, you'd think there'd be a lot of demand for some strange. Y'know, rich bastards looking for a hot escort to take to someone's resleeving party, or want to indulge their latest fetish (do you want to play with a Neotenic, or let a Fury redefine "wild" for you?). Some nerd who wants to try out the latest hentai VR game, or a crazy stalker that wasn't to spend the night with their favorite metacelebrity.

I mean, I dunno if all those things can be monopolized, but damn it'd be fun if they could.

Oh well now, let's think about this, shall we? Who can come up with an idea for a sexually arousing female to make large amounts of money with very little effort?
Yes, billy? Prostitution? Very good, billy! Have some Petal!

Dracorion · 05-25-2010, 12:37 AM

Large isn't good enough. She needs obscene!

Ah, screw it. Maybe I'll just have her fuck her way into a hypercorp over the course of the RP, discover the Earth Gate, fuck her way into getting put in charge of Earth, live happily ever after.
