We literally get together every Tuesday to kill ten bosses, then fairly distribute all of their possessions. Then spend the rest of the week killing smaller bosses and doing the same.

    Pretty much every major alliance worth a damn in EVE has copied that model from goons to great success. You get people dropping two-thirds of their entire liquid capital to buy a single ship to go blow up another alliance's station, even when they know they'll get blapped in about three seconds if they get picked as the focus fire target at any point during an hour-plus-long battle, because they'll get all the money back in a couple days at no cost to them other than their time and participation.

    About half of my net worth in EVE is sitting in ships in my hangar that are prone to exploding with essentially no warning during a fleet battle, and the SRP (Ship Replacement Program) is the only reason I'm willing to spend all that money.
