Is it bad to hold terrible people responsible for their actions? I'm confused
It is a great thing to hold people accountable. But if all it takes to convict someone is accusing them: then I accuse you of harassing me. Onto the list you go!
When you accuse someone of something in real life, they must be convicted before punished -- i.e. have evidence provided that they committed the crime.

Why not? Is there some rule that says you can give whatever opinion you want without proof EXCEPT an opinion about sexism? The OP has free speech rights just like everyone else. Plenty of people express opinions about plenty of topics that I've read without clear "proof.
If the majority of people here do not feel they have seen sexist comments or seen women treated in a way unequal to men in the game, good for them. I do not have any problems with that. However I am disappointed that people feel the need to argue with an OP who is expressing an opinion based on the OP's own experience. I would of thought that everyone would want a fellow PnW person to be able to enjoy the same hobby the rest of us do and not jump on her and demand "proof" for bringing up a concern that makes being here less enjoyable for her. In fact, with the negative responses here I will be surprised if anyone who agrees with the OP will share anything - certainly not in public. I hope it actually does the opposite but I understand if people who have experienced sexism just give up talking about it here.
OP is not *just* expressing an opinion, OP is setting a call to action: (1) "Alliances and individuals signing this pledge to remove hateful and intolerant elements from their alliances, discord servers, and communities." (2) "we will however publish a list of individuals proven to have conducted themselves in a grotesque manner".
For the list of individuals to be "proven to have conducted themselves in a grotesque manner", proof must be provided. What we're asking for is what OP explicitly stated would be had. Us demanding proof are just following the old concept: "Innocent until proven guilty"
Setting up individuals in our community to be ostracized without proof is a terrible thing. You're establishing a kangaroo court.

I was only making explicitly clear what I, and others, have been requesting for a while now, since any evidence has yet to crop up. You would think that people suggesting such a serious claim and advertising that offenders could be put on public display and ostracized would be willing to provide evidence if their claim is so damning -- really, I'd say it's imperative they do considering the consequences to be faced if put on that "list" of individuals. Even onto that, it should not at all be on the community to hunt out the evidence from the few who are on about this, but rather the burden of proof is already on the people making this claim of rampant sexism in the community -- and likewise they should have already shown the evidence.
So if someone claimed a crime you wouldn't believe them? Or am I misunderstanding you?
Someone who claims a crime may or may not be believed, but no conviction can be made until proof is provided.

Those guys on here who keep saying there is no sexism and that they want proof:
1) Notice that virtually all females on here are not on your side, and surely not *every* woman is evil feminazi only interested in complaining2) Get your mothers to read through this entire thread, from beginning to end. Just try it. See how long it takes for them to ban you from online games forever. (and yes, I'm assuming/ hoping that the boys posting here are boys, even though I know I am kidding myself)
If you wish to start putting people on a list to be branded and ostracized without citing examples of their wrongdoing, you are setting a dangerous precedent.

Well me ow. Who shoved a lead pipe up your ass. How about asking a woman who made the claim. It's legit that easy. Don't be lazy then !@#$ to everyone else. !@#$

1 hour ago, Hope said:I mean, I would say that occasionally I have been treated differently by some of the extremely right wing players because I was gay. Did it bother me though? No. I’d still say we got along as people. But 99% of the players do not care about what kind of person you are OOC. Literally do not care. In fact, as a person who is LGBT I condemn this action, as it further ostracizes those who are “different” and doesn’t work to make it normal. You are only harming those who want real change.
If you want real change go do work in the Middle East. You’ll see real sexism and homophobia. Stop being the language police.
You do not represent all women, people of color, and LGBT people. It’s embarrassing.
Take heed from Hope's post ^
I am certainly among the people who fit the category of being put on an offensive list (definitely said some triggering things and have done so thousands of times), even further I might be among those "right-wing" players Hope referenced above, and you know what? Hope and I get along great. I really don't care that he is gay, and I like talking to Hope on Discord.
Putting what Hope said above and my post together, hopefully you see you may be jumping the gun on this -- as well as noting the likes/dislikes on the posts thus far.
Additionally, you're just causing more division among the community if anything.
On another note: the Federal Reserve does not care and will accept anyone of any creed. We're a safe space for both offensive humor and safe/corny humor. We wish to see everyone's dankest memes

cool! more complaining about the market!
lets disregard the fact that 3 tons of oil can be used to make 6 tons of gasoline. yes lets blame the people that post large trade offers that are currently the 5th best price.
if youre so confident in your 3 steps to fix the economy then go ahead and buy out all of these people that are lowering the market and sell it in blocks of 100 maintaining that margin. if you are correct that placentica ruined the market then it stands to reason if you grow a spine and buy it out you would be in line for a massive windfall since they are (in)advertently deflating their value.
why make a post about it when you could make some cash money. it seems pretty 'retarded' to me to let this golden goose slip by
I don't think you see what I'm saying. Firstly, I was complaining about the "fifth trade" because I was watching the steel market intently and started watching it way before that trade was made and saw what was happening. You will always be undercut no matter what. Let's take this to the extremes to illustrate what I'm saying: If a trade was made for 1,000,000,000,000 tons of steel at $900ppu, the market will forever be at, or below (emphasis on below), $900ppu until all 1 trillion tons are sold because who would offer anything higher? However, no one else will be making that money but you, so you're still going to be undercut. It doesnt matter what you sell at, someone will be more desperate for money or just not care and undercut you. The demand for steel will not go away, so there will always be buys. If selling at a lower volume, the buys will come in faster than the number of sell offers being created -- inherently making the price climb.
Let's create a scenario and apply high and low volumes to it: 10 trades @ 5,000 tons each on some resource are listed, one of which is a new undercut by $5. Over some period 20,000 tons get bought and 2 new undercuts come in. What will happen?
Low volume trading:
High volume trading:
The two new undercuts yet put on in our hypothetical will be undercutting two distinct prices. To reiterate: If selling at a lower volume, the buys will come in faster than the number of sell offers being created -- inherently making the price climb. If I bought, I'd be helping the other sellers because now the lowest trade is gone (which would have happened faster if it was a lower volume), and I wouldn't be doing myself any favors unless I traded in a very specific way:
tl;dr
Putting it all together: If at all I was to sell any large amount of resources or buy those up and sell them at low volumes like you said, I should only do so over the course of several days waiting for each trade to be bought completely before putting up the next bit. If you want to help sellers, sell small, if you want to help the buyers, sell large.

The badly done trading has been brought up before. Massive undercuts are annoying, but those aren't the only things that bring down the market. When you trade at large volumes you essentially create a price ceiling that will be perpetually undercut by any amount. Had Placentica here (not a jab at Placentica) traded at a smaller volume (the original trade was at 34,000 tons) the buys would have ate their way up the trades to a higher price before the new undercuts came and landed the price back to about where it was in the first place: $1,960.
(1) Trading at low volumes maintains higher prices.
(2) Not massively undercutting maintains higher prices.
(3) Trading at low volumes helps lessen the problem of massive undercuts.
Kind of had this joke a while, made this a few days ago:

The debt isn't a big deal and the reason for the debt is the GOP's tendency to cut taxes (revenue) and then increase spending.
I know it's not a big deal. Debts are problem as a ratio to GDP. We crossed 100% not that long ago and at the rate we're going it can, and likely will be, a problem within our lifetimes. Adding something like single-payer will only exacerbate the speed at which we reach the problem -- I didn't say it was a problem, it's an impending one. And the second part of your response only aids my point. I was saying to reduce spending.
Just did some math: 19 years from now we'll be at the same ratio Greece was for its collapse in 2008, but because the deficit is growing as well, it will actually be sooner. But, accounting for GDP growth too, maybe a little over 20 years?

We're about to pass $20,000,000,000,000 in debt. Instead of providing over 300,000,000 individuals with healthcare, we reduce the $668,000,000,000 deficit; otherwise, there might not be this government around in a century for you to want to provide single-payer anyway.

edit: debts are backed by my bank

I don't know why you would run a CDO when it ruined the economy
Correction: CDOs comprised of subprime lending and synthesized CDOs killed the economy. As well as banks selling off the securities.
-
Randlord Capital Group, one of several banks in Orbis, is selling collateralized debt obligations (CDOs). Everything you need to know:
(1) Each CDO is priced $5,000,000 at the beginning (check below for current). There will be 63 sold total, amounting to $315,000,000.
(2) Payouts will be variable depending on payments on the debts. Interest averages 6.33% on outstanding.
(3) Financial modelling projects yield is roughly $100,000,000 ROI totalled across all CDOs (roughly $1.6M per CDO).
(4) Financial modelling projects timeline of roughly 2.2 months.
(5) CDOs may be bought and sold among peers, like stocks; however, CDOs will be repriced at each payout to make all resales break even. In this way, anyone can buy in, resell to recoup the principal (all the while retaining interest profits), and now a new person can buy in and earn interest. Everyone breaks even on principal and earns interest so long as the new price is followed as updated here below. All sales must be directly informed to me via in-game message or Discord.
(6) Debts are backed by Randlord Capital Group.
What is essentially happening? Each CDO is a sliver of the debt. You're buying a piece of the loans. Interest is then rerouted to you in proportion to what you own.
Current price: $ 1,462,262 (per CDO)
Interest rate swaps in the future? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'd like to toss it out there I am a double major in accounting and finance.
Kelson is also doing a related, math intensive field.
Let's say I wanna throw you a small half billion investment. What's the interest I get?
I'd hate to put that to an exact number; there are some things to note:
Interest gained is variable. An investment will be used, thus gain interest, if demand permits. Currently, demand is low. Larger investments, however, will take precedence and be loaned more often. Because investments gain interest, and are continually loaned, investments compound.
If you are seriously considering an investment, please message me. Noting I did say "demand is low", I'm sure makes a potential investor reluctant. But I must keep it low in tune with the low capital currently in the bank's hands. With an investment, I will drum up more demand.
