Is there a list of all the standard titles, and how many posts equals each title? They talk about it, but the admins are a bit hush-hush about specifics, since we're supposed to act as if it doesn't matter. Which it doesn't, of course. |

I paid real monies for that title, yo. 'Sides, I think they only started the title system to encourage Clockwork Lime to keep one profile.

When they call for donations, those donate are moved to the group Dumpshocked, and are then allowed to choose a title. Since they changed the board software, you can input a personalized title yourself, just select Edit Profile Information on your Control Pannel. |

Only those who has surpassed a certain number (a really big number, by the way) of posts can change their titles. Given the frequency of (flaming) hot topics here, if you do not get banned/booted off/swear never to come back ever by the time you hit that particularly high number, I suppose you have shown a certain level of maturity and you get that privilege to change your title. But most of us who can don't really care about it and I have only edited my title once just for the novelty value.

And we have heard nothing about it; it gives me hope, that kind of inheritance would have generated alot of shadowbiz, yet nobody says anything about it: maybe Nadja is alive. I assume there's a reason for this. However, I also assume that the reason has more to do with it not being a priority to cover rather than for any other reason. That said, by all standards I can consider enough time has passed that there is a total presumption that she is no longer missing, but dead. And in the end the UCAS government has the most to gain by going through this roundabout process of "killing" her and taking her stuff. |

Killing her can be done but how would the government take hers stuff? She was the VP but hers stuff was hers own property, killing her would mean just that hers stuff goes to hers heirs, whoever they night be. |

Inheratance tax, even though I can't spell to save my life. Something like 1/3 today, most likely even more harsh in 2070.

Considering how neutered and inept national governments are in 2070, I find the existence of the inheritance tax in the Sixth World to be... unlikely. Corporations call the plays and governments merely take out the garbage. A corporate controlled world doesn't feel like one that permits laws depleting the personal wealth of its upper echelons. And Daviar was definitely "upper echelon".

Estates don't just fall into limbo when there are no heirs and no will. They get taken by the state. |

Is she even confirmed dead instead of "just gone"?

Doesn't really matter, legally - in 2072, she's most likely declared dead.

It's possible that the government knows where she is and just keeps it quiet.
Edit: Goddamnit, Stahsteele: I had to read that four times to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. |
