When I first read this idea I have to say I was opposed to it. However the more I think about it the more I think why not? The reason I was initially opposed to it is because it would instantly become a case of the players that are addicted getting more race points and farming the newbies worse than they already do. The answer to this would be in changing the way that racepoints affected your targets.

My thought is this. Imagine for example you had 100 race points to start off with. Then imagine that after whatever achievement you had 150 next round, 200 the round after, and so on. Now, normally the player with 200 race points would pwn the player with 100 race points so badly that their children would still be suffering. But what if it was made so that, similar to the current attacking rules with retaliation being possible, that the 200 rp player could only attack someone with at least 70% of their rp's. In this scenario the 100 rp player is protected from the die hard player, the diehard player can attack someone with 140 rp's or more. Means that the longer you play the more limited your character would become, so you'd have to decide whether to keep building your race or start from scratch again to open more targets. It could create some interesting strategy for sure.

Would be interesting to see if this could be done, I'm not sure about the feasibility of any of it really, just creates some possibilities.

Not only do you have no science behind your claim ...

Seems like we are pulling figures out of thin air, given that according to UN stats there are currently a little over 7 billion people in the world. Clearly you don't know what science is, let alone understand its basic principles.

As for me supporting the legislation or the premise, I haven't indicated anywhere that I support the tax. I simply stated that Flint's article does not support his standpoint. Your assumptions on what I do or do not support are ridiculous.

I thought I would rate a special goodbye sad

Good luck with the wedding mate, take care and I hope to see you soon.

Flint, your article indicates that the tax will continue, however that it was due to rise in how much the electricity providers were paying. What they are freezing is the rises in how much the electricity providers will be paying, they will still be paying the current amount of tax on it. That is far from an end, it is simply a lack of further increase.

Rich people use electricty (and therefore pay more) too. In fact, if you have your mansion you are probably using more electricity than the common man and therefore paying more of the tax. It isn't taking money from the poor to the rich, it is taking money from everyone to the government coffers to then be squandered in one way or another.

Flint, did you actually read your own article?

They are not repealing their carbon tax, they are putting a freeze on rises on the tax. Further, from your aticle:

The tax is on fossil fuels used to produce electricity and it is aimed at reducing pollution from greenhouse gases. It is unique to Britain, and energy firms must pay it on top of European Union carbon reduction levies.

It is an industry specific tax, and they are getting taxed twice. Once by the UK government and once by the EU. Further, it is an election year in the UK. Simply put, this is a campaigning tactic to say, "We are going to save you money on your electricity bills!"

So in short, they are not backpedaling in any way on global warming, they are in fact buying votes at the expense of the environment, and not increasing further a tax on a specific industry where that same specific industry is already being taxed by another authority.
