Resources - revisited

Wanted to revisit the issue, since it started to come up with Rain vs. several characters and issues, and even Hill spend a few hard-earned Artha on it...
The basic rules are here so just a few extra points:

1. Resources are used to "achieve things" - not just buy things. You want to acquire equipment, get upgrades, kill or hire people, get information... Everything and anything can be done with Resources.
2. You can do all those things without Resources - for example, Helpful NPCs can do it for you. Or you can substitute Resources with other rolls and with much time and roleplay. Instead of rolling Resources to try and find out who wounded Sativus, you can talk to witnesses, scan for information, walk around the station, and roll a bunch of dice, to get slightly better results. But this consumes much time.
3. You can get Bonus Dice. These are usually very exceptional bonuses from someone for doing something. They work like regular dice - but they are gone after one roll.
4. If you're taxed, you can get dice back by working. Instead of worrying how much you're getting paid, the dice you lost are simply returned to you.
5. Paying someone involved a Resources roll; the ob is determined by the level of service, and has no relation to other party's Resources or tax. For example, is Rain is taxed by one die, and works for someone to get it back, his service is probably ob 4-6, depending on the job required. If the other party successfully pays him (meaning succeeds in a Resources roll), then Rain gets his die back.
6. Characters can give other characters some or all of their Resources dice. They can do it for one roll, or for a period of time.
7. Resources rolls are always voluntary and always known to the player rolling. No one can roll with your Resources without your knowledge or consent.
