Question:
Who Thinks Eco's should be allowed Money from The "Goverment" So eco's are no longer poor.
Option 1: Yes
votes: 23
Option 2: No
votes: 5
Who Thinks we should?
Without a doubt, absolutely.
Well So far its obvious.
Would be nice from that person which voted NO to state actual reason.
Absolutely not. The ecologists still have the highest pay on the server, twice that of a Master STALKER or major faction member. What the ecologists do need is new infrastructure. Members, threads, the very way you operate. Get active. The ecologists had plenty of money a few months back, and it was thrown about on suits and weaponry and never recovered once the faction plunged into inactivity (this was before the server itself went inactive, mind you).
Yes, the Ecologists would receive government funding. The ecologists are also on a budget, canonically they have a hard time allocating any funds from the government. They don't just sit there and buy artifacts for no good reason. Hell, in Call of Pripyat they wont even buy artifacts since they already have an "experienced artifact hunter who can fill any of their orders."
I'm sure if you took the initiative, got active and started doing some actual research the 'government' would be a little more generous with your budget.
Do mind this is just my opinion, and a bit of a kickstarter wouldn't hurt. Nothing drastic like the silly proposition to increase the hourly paycheck to 2,000.

Solution for Stalkers: Kill said person who is an artifact hunter
Solution for Ecos: Hire more artifact hunters.
Solution to Yorty: You can still sell artifacts to Hermann (Or whichever eco in the bunker that sells stuff) besides the fact you made where he states they have artifact hunters.
That was an example to support the my claim that ecologists don't buy artifacts for no good reason, not a problem that needed fixing.
Of course Ecologists are still going to buy artifacts, but the faction doesn't exist for that sole purpose. My point is that if Darkzerxx and gang focuses on making the faction a proper faction once more, there wont be any money troubles. Bailing the faction out is just blanketing the problem, not fixing it.
Well we need to remember folks, Ecologist is not a main faction, its a minor faction. They don't need to focus on the things major factions like Duty and freedom would. I mean just fuck it and give them an assload of rubles to get off with so they can do some shit, but first of all guys just get on the server.
I mean to be honest only point of Ecologist really is for roleplay and to give out some jobs etc, once in awhile you get some technology bids here and there. Really is no problem in funding you guys for your research as that is what the goverment would do somewhat.
I think Yorty is right on the part you guys need to try and get active.
Also I don't mean changeing paycheck or anything stupied I mean just giveing them a large sum of rubles to get off with and create roleplay.
I personally think we could give them a few thousands or millions since well ECOs are the one who can also easily give stalkers jobs. Such a called mini job givers.
Back when I was leader of the Ecos, I tried to get some fundings for it aswell. Forget it, mate. ;P
Recently I have been getting on the server to help boost activity and Trying to get the forums more active by having people who like to use the network and other forums join the eco's and give it a try if they can do it or not. And as for the funding I say we just wait for the votes to come and go and get a final point at the end.
So it seems people agree we need the money (Also state the fact I gave my last bit out today) And I hope some admin or some one could help us.
You know you'd make more money if you didn't hire the merc groups that you are in to protect your own bunker.
We haven't hired any. They are staying and guarding of there own free will. Were out of money because we make jobs.
