Re: [s-d] [s-b] black corp what?


None of the above. VFS(C) gets debited macks as VFS(B) gets those 
credited during the transfer, and VFS(B) gets a corresponding credit 
while VFS(C) gets a corresponding debit through B/C enslavement. That 
is, *if* VSS(C) has any macks to start with.

Any change of gamestate in C happens in B, but my belief is C was never 
populated. C Nomic contains:

- The Rules
- ais536 and any other players that registered after C's instantiation
- The sock corporations

... and a bunch of invalid, failed Game Actions that worked in B but 
can't in C because the target Game Objects don't exist.
