Distribution of taxes to top10 towns?

by **summertime** » Wed Oct 08, 2014 11:36 am

"A % of revenue from the stalls will go to the Bank Account of the Mayors of the top 10 Towns on the Server." from patch notes.

i assume that the it is not an uniform distribution which would mean that each get 10% of the revenue, so what kind of distribution is it?

Approx.

38.53%
23.81%
14.72%
9.09%
5.63%
3.46%
2.16%
1.30%
0.87%
0.43%

Of all Tax Rebates.

If you pay attention to the NPC near the Stalls who is keeping track of Tax Revenue, you'll see the total taxes taken from His Majesty (35%) of stall sales. 20% of this revenue is being refunded back.

Those who do the math will see this is a pretty big deal.

Is it 20% of the 35% or 20/35?

how about we set the tax to 10% and cut this ***** 35%?

Someone is mad they aren't in the top 10 anymore.

For what it's worth, I think it can be a pretty interesting system. Right now it does promote spamming of flags more than it does challenging authority per reasons already discussed in the other thread.

You're wrong, spamming of flags was effective only a first days, I gained several thousands of silver from taxes. But raising authority further using this method is quite uneffective since there is rivals. Town bell becomes very hungry for silver, and taxes simply make no profit. Much more effective is spamming of border stones. But minimally profitable only first 3-4 of the top (with current volume of stalls sales), so being in top, but not in first places, is just a waste of silver for town bell. So the most effective method to be the first one - wipe out rival towns, or at least challenge their authority.
