That little message "You donated your pay of $X to your team leader" (or however it goes) is misleading in the fact that it leads new players to believe that money is an individual luxury, and not an important team resource.

Can't it be changed to something like....

"Your team received $X from [headquarters,a cashbox,a miner]"



Just thought it would clear up that misconception that money is your personal property

the BUY button should probably instead be read as "Request"

I like this.

I agree here, although the paydays do bring back memories of the days where I could withhold funds (and get kicked) from the commander.

Interesting concept. I definately agree with the "Buy" button change. If the change for the donation is simple, I would be for that as well. Could we do a random generator for fun ways someone gets cash?

"Bob took a pay cut- Alpha team was given $100"
"Enemy commander error in your favor, collect $200"
"The miner pilot won the lotto, Delta team collects $400"

Just an entertaining idea.

LOL nice idea derf, that would make things a bit more interesting.

This seems to be an easy change, in regards to the cash received message, just a matter of changing the string, yes?

Change boot message to read "You have been sent directly to jail! Do not pass GO, do not collect $200"

Might add a little bit of logic to keep the old message if the commander has toggled you to stop donating.

snatched the monopoly reference before i could

I got the reference


Anyways, perhaps the "stop donating" could be changed to "Make investor"?
Same goes for the message you get when a commander stops your "donations" (Again, it's sooo misleading, as though you actually have a choice NOT to donate LOL)

Could we just remove the option? Why is it there in the first place?
