Due to some circumstances that I won't bore you with I have been
unable to play on AOTK2 as much as I had planned. After an absence of
some 10 or so days I return and find that I have the same amount of prestige
as I did when I left.

Now I realize that some (well all) of you have to run missions and earn the prestige in one way or another.
However it must be noted, it's called "prestige"

Prestige:

1)The level of respect at which one is regarded by others; standing.
2)A person's high standing among others; honor or esteem.
3)Widely recognized prominence, distinction, or importance: a position of prestige in diplomatic circles.

By the very definition of the word I should have more than all of you combined.  However I am, if nothing else, modest to a
fault and would quite amicably settle for 100k or so to be deposited into my account.
(I mean have you seen the price of a STL?)

The situation that exists is intolerable, I can barely afford one BCH, I shudder to think what would happen if I was jumped by
three C10's .In such a case I might actually have to withdraw at the start of the mission rather than chancing that the last one might be able to kill me.

I am certain that you all can see the necessity of this measure, and I know all of you will support the server coming down so such
changes can be made.

That is all.

First off, The rules state no more than one capitol ship per side in mission...
So you won't get jumped by 3 C10Ks.  ::)
Second, the starting PP was raised considerably since server start.
Make a new account and you've got enough for a decent CA.

Quit yer whining anyway.... :P
