In an attempt to amplify the sense of community amidst one another and to raise the overall experience, especially for those of new players, to gain a greater sense of appreciation for the art of role playing, i propose that we add in certain bonuses for both those who partake in business districts and the city with which has activity present in its business district. 

Visitator "A" from another mafia has come to purchase some things in another city. City "B" Welcomes the fine mobster who is so polite and encourages him to shop around. Later in the day we see Visitor "B" also shop around in City "B" and spend sometime in the business district.

Lets break this down:

1. Visitor A makes a post. In that post, they make a certain word count, that word count multiplied by X number is a cash reward for them.

2. The city in which this business resides, would get some sort of bonus for being involved and having an attractive quality from outside guests.

3. In the event of a mobster in the same city visiting his own business district, a random city member, active within the last X amount of time, would gain a hustle point. 

Well what might this seek to accomplish is a boost in involvement in our business districts. Additionally, we tackle some of the stressors that various crew leaders have come to experience in leadership with managing funds and growing activity become less problematic while certain people can utilize their skills more effectively. We create a sense of competitive zeal when new members come to the shores as one can argue "Behold bitches, our city is greater than yours, look at our business district, its alive!" 

This would resurrect the business districts which, in turn, will bring a new fire to crews and cities which have a tendency to grow stale. 

I like it.  Gets people talking, gets people thinking and working together.  +1

I do. I saw this morning and had to wait until this evening to give my two cents. This should not be in the name of tackling a stressor for a CL In any way shape or form. Perhaps the CL should get into role playing before they take on being a CL. There have been CL's successful in getting their crew to RP. Even first timers. It's the approach you take and it is about having fun. No long drawn-out crap. Jen is willing to help first timers as well.  

I agree something different should be done. I cannot tell you how many times I looked at the business districts and the one who started a thread did not get tipped but people post on it. That is sad. How can you not tip them but write on their walls? It's nothing but pure selfishness. jmo

Then we have some "no names" who feel the need to post on them and get credit. That needs to be looked into especially since it is gibberish they are posting most times. 

Many times, I want to RP but need to be in the mood. But when I was a CL my crew (majority) was active on the streets and business district in a fun way. Raven had a knack for that too as well as a few others.
