4 years ago re: the "spoils of war". This hearkens back to an older conversation we had about calling ourselves “corporate overlords” — the gist of it being, are we critiquing the aggressive nature of capitalism? Or, by using these words, actually embracing it? I’m hoping we’re able to strike that balance on critiquing the absurdity of capitalism by calling out the metaphors that are used implicitly in everyday business settings.
This changes a whole lot of stuff. First, it sets up a structure for distribution of money that is inline with how we have functioned the past two years. By codifying it we are able to pay Corporate Overlords through targeted allocations (which has significantly better tax implications than guaranteed payments).
It also makes the Comptroller's role a bit more explicit, provides restrictions on a project's ability to create debt, creates a structure for projects to loan (or give) each other money, and makes the need for invoices more explicit.
This also creates the concept of the BIFFUD Operating Branch which is responsible for setting up operating processes.
This also adds a bit more clairty around the difference between a Project's "coffers" and corporate "coffers" while also changing the definition of Spoils of War to isolate project expense / income completely from corporate expenses.
