Time to sweeten the pot, if we really want subsidation to drive victory.

Add the following text after the second sentence of the rule called “Buyout:”

This is called “Buying Out” the Bankrupt Corporation, and the Corporation doing the Buyout is called the Subsidiary’s Parent Corporation.

Change the sentence in the same rule that currently reads “Corporations may use Production Rights belonging to their Subsidiaries” to read “Corporations may use Production Rights or Naming Rights belonging to their Subsidiaries.”

Add the following text to the end of the last paragraph of that rule:

A Subsidiary Corporation may not attempt to Buy Out any other Corporation except its own Parent Corporation.  No Corporation may attempt to Buy Out another Corporation’s Subsidiary.

Add the following to the end of the rule:

While a Corporation is a Subsidiary, its may allocate no more than 90% of its maximum Production (rounded to the nearest whole number).  A Parent Corporation’s maximum Production is increased by 10% (rounded to the nearest whole number) of the sum total maximum Productions of its Subsidiaries.

A Parent Corporation may release its Subsidiary at any time by editing the Inventory page, and making a post to the blog, to indicate the former Subsidiary’s new status.

for .  Note that the 10% rule usually decreases the total output.
