If resources are to be added to the market in ascension then i think the only form of payment for them should be Life Force.

After all you are now a god who stands alone. if you wanna buy something (read: make with your godly powers) it should leave you in a vulnerable state (ie use LF) then you have to think is it worth it

Well I think the biggest argument to this is. There are several people in ascension that solely exist there for bonuses in main (until descension comes and I start descending all the free loaders) What is there to restrict these unactive accounts from (much like they do now just on a larger scale) trade their High Number of turns to the market for DMU or something then have that already sold for resources in main. I think this is the reason there is no market. So your goods you get on your account have to be strategically used to make the most out of it and your ascensions.

I hate to spam here... but I think that deascending any people who are obviously not playing is utterly brilliant...

and not that hard :)

No player to player trades, that's one thing. And if there's lifeforce to physical resource conversion, it should be on the same scale as the current life/dmu trades, 10:1. Just so someone can't convert life to stuff, have it stolen and the other convert it back to just the same amount of life. With 2 conversions at 10:1 that leaves you with only 1% of the original lifeforce, so it's pretty useless to use it for transferring stuff to other players.

As soon as you build an idiot proof system, somebody else builds a better idiot.

If it moves, kill it. If it doesn't move, kick it until it does move, and then kill it.

Well this is fine to a certain point. But think about the last 6 pages of accounts. Mostly all dead ones excet for one account there or close to there because of a bug that still has not been fixed with this account (The Oneill - Shows 0 total Influence which is utterly impossible on that account). Some of those are older accounts and while they may only have 2000 AT, think about the amount of Potential Life Force they have now. (and most of these "dead" accounts may be harder to descend than some accounts that are being played just because of their sheer massive amount of Life Force).

I currently have one of the largest armies in main as well in ascension. The opens up opportunity for me to get more stuff as I have the resources to do so. However I am more and always have been the type to see a more equalized system to prevent the rich get richer scenario.
