I'm Sexy and I Know It
It's occurred to me this past month or two that there is the possibility of a company that has expanded beyond its tier while still maintaining the label of the tier it was in. For example, Tenloss is a Tier III company per its listing, but spans about 19 worlds and 2 sectors along with supplying... questionable holographic recreational materials to the entire mid rim per canon sources. Along with this, Tenloss has around 60+ listed items for sale, a small number of contracts, and has been highly active in a multitude of ways. For all intents and purposes, Tenloss operates on a Tier IV or V level and, occasionally (depends on which Tier VI company you compare it to) bumps into the Tier VI levels on the rare occasion. The thing is, it's still a Tier III company and has yet to complete a major project for advancement. Now, for clarification purposes:
I'm using Tenloss as an example. I legitimately have no desire to move up in Tier at all at this time and have stated as much repeatedly in multiple Skype chats. I simply realized that Tenloss' situation is an avenue of Tier expansion not covered under the Tier Advancement system currently.
Now, with that said, for companies in that sort of situation, what do we do? Before, it was stated that corporate expansion, no matter how much, was not grounds for a major project. However, if done through threads and over time, along with definitive effort, how does that work with the company advancement? At the point where a smaller company grows larger and more prominent than a higher tier company, do we allow tier advancement? Do we not?
