Chaos and PPT

I would like to request that PPT's are not allowed either:
1) at all on at least the first wave of Chaos server or
2) not for the first couple of weeks (or even months).
This will prevent people from winning because they are willing to pay more money to win. Let everyone start on equal footing. I would go for 24-48 hours when you first start, but then everyone has to actually play the game after that. I would also like to see limits on PPTs like I've suggested for the next Quantum wave.
As for making money Admin, please feel free to still offer SS, more UU, naq, etc. Just don't associate it with a PPT. Or at least hold off collecting money for the first couple of weeks.
Thank you for your time.

Agreed. But how do you know that this wasn't already planned that way? So far I've only seen one thing definate about Chaos and that is that Forum is working on getting it out early.

How do YOU know that this was even considered by forum before I brought it up? The only way to know for sure is to speak up and to get a response.

This is a self-professed *bump*
With a possible release date coming up shortly, I would like to see what others opinions of PPT are for Chaos Wars. You know mine, I'm against it entirely, but understand that Forum likes money. So I'm just asking that they are severly limited, and not available for the first few weeks or even months.
I want a fair, fun, and competitive game from the start! (please

)

I say we can have PPTs but Everyone lasts 1-8 hours and you are allowed 2 with 0 penalty and everyone after that could have .5-2% of the race bonus removed from your account so after a few PPTs you begin to hurt your account

But if u were hurting your account then why would u want to send them 10$ for ppt when it is hurting your account?Also they would not get that much money to help out the game that way.

Due to Forum needing money (don't blame the guy really), PPT will not be done away with, it is just what I would like to see personally. It is quite reasonable to ask for the first 2 weeks to 2 months to be "no PPT" timeframes though.
SS could just give more benefits without the PPT. People would still pay to win, but it could be at great cost as there will be no protection. This has been suggested in other forums, but a 30 minute PPT (until the end of the turn of your purchase) would be reasonable to keep your resources 'safe' right after purchase.
or as Sokar suggested, PPT only once a month.
This game is only going to last one year per wave. If given the opportunity, there will be people who spend at least 2 days on PPT a week. These people end up on top for much of the game.

A 30min ppt would still allow people to be sent enough naq to get the big spy levels without needing to worry, they just wouldn't be able to sit with an account designed for naq gaining. I support this idea fully.

no reason at all for Admin to stick to the 2 days on PPT part of the donation reward. He can just make different rewards that make it worth paying for, just not 2 days of immunity, 2 times per week, over and over, lol.
