Les Vampirs Pre-Faction Proposal for 4.86?

[RockCrystal]

Couldn't sleep last night, so had a brainstorming session about le tax du toll instead.
The current tax is on a sliding scale based on level, which seems to me to charge too much to traders.
This scale is also seemingly secret, as even I do not know much more than that.
I have here a different scale, based on a 'ladder' type system. If you agree with it, Diablo, I think it should be posted both in Grotte de les Vampirs and our diplomatic channel.

Level: Tax: Sightseers: Remove 1 zero from the total tax
90+ 5 mil
80-89 4 mil Diplomatic envoys to Council, Maquis, Brigands or Corse: Free
70-79 3 mil
60-69 2 mil
50-59 1 mil
40-49 one half mil
39- free

This scale is based on my experience as a trader. Traders absolutely hate having to pay more than 5 mil, and even this should be reserved only for the very richest.
On the other end of the scale, those below level 50 are probably still in a rhino or clydesdale, and need all the help they can get.
Council players, if there is some portion of this scale you don't like, or if you would like to apply for additional exemptions, now is the time to speak up. Keep in mind that Diablo (blackwidow here on the forum) gets the final say. Also keep in mind, this is primarily aimed at those that are running supplies to the lawfuls, funding the lawfuls, or both.
Diablo, if done correctly, and considering input from the Council, this should significantly ease relations between us and the council, AND not bankrupt/drive away our customers.
Very tired. Hope this helps
