None at all. It does not reach the level of a 1099 and if you call it a donation and give a gift for the donation it has no tax ramifications at all other than income.Michael Conleyhttp://www.northcoastnero.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781060643507162251.post-40899326710767070102011-11-24T14:24:05.157-05:002011-11-24T14:24:05.157-05:00There is also a huge issue with applying money to ...There is also a huge issue with applying money to in-game items for three other reasons.<br /><br />1. Tax issues: I'd have to talk to Ennis, but there was a bit tax thing regarding goblin stamps. They can't have a monetary value, otherwise they are taxable in all situations or something like that. I can't quite remember, but it was a massive pain to deal with.<br /><br />2. Also, has anyone considered that people both in chapter and oog will roll players to get items to then sell to players in other chapters? HELL'S YA. Sure, here we go. I'm gonna roll a bunch of people, take their items, sell them for 10-15.00 apiece. <br /><br />3. If you purchase them OOG, and you are purchasing it for OOG money, and someone steals it, is it technically that? Stealing? I can see people sayin' that. Then we would have to deal with the issue of "items that can't be stolen."<br /><br />This is fail all the way around. Seriously. It is utterly depressing that the person that owns our game has a tremendous lack of vision (i.e. potential problems stemming from this) or understanding of his own rules (or the intent of his rules.). It amazes me why people don't trust.<br /><br />JenniferJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09523358969650093632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781060643507162251.post-60730001219130765502011-11-22T12:58:13.352-05:002011-11-22T12:58:13.352-05:00I agree players selling items is in bad taste.
Ka...I agree players selling items is in bad taste.<br /><br />Karin mentioned goblin stamps, and there are also large and small plot submissions for your character between events that can net you xp. If you spent the money you could end up with an extra 6.0 blanket (gobs + plot submission) vs the average players 2.0 blanket per month.Mark Henry ~Mariusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781060643507162251.post-36824852180137098262011-11-22T11:07:20.037-05:002011-11-22T11:07:20.037-05:00I definitely agree.

I think all your points and restrictions are really good. I might suggest something else - maybe a limit or cap to how much you can buy? The cost-benefit ratio probably already discourages taking advantage of the system, but it might not be a bad idea to put in place just in case. Anyway, yea, /agreeKarinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11756082985569096593noreply@blogger.com
