Well I have put some thought into it on how the torching of a rival business could be added. I know this has been mentioned before and the response of role play it out has been said. If this could be added like the OC crimes. Somethings will have to be different like take more time for flights or increase the time for the felony timer. How it will affect the bar districts could disrupt the flow of cash the controlling family gets and the buisness will be shut down for X amount of days in till the owner puts money in to it. So it will kind of have the same attributes as a DFP but instead your not bribing the agent every couple days but paying for the repair every 24 hours, if the bill is not paid you lose the business. Then you could stick a lock on the thread for it to be permanently closed since most businesses that go under never do come back, or the lock could be added if the damages are to extreme for repairs.

Now when the business is torched it can be torched one or two ways by using a small bomb or a large bomb. The small bombs of course don't cause as much damage but it does serve the purpose of costing a buisness owner money and the cost of repairs could be two or three days. Well the large bomb could completely put you under if not take a large chunk of money if your going to repair it with have to pay for seven or eight days for repairs. Now I'm not sure of the cost of something like this would be of course because some would say to much or not enough, so if it does go into the works it can be discussed or if someone else has a fair input for the cost.

Now for the torching, it will not be easy of course and it will have to require seven or eight people from the same city to attempt it. Now just because you have the people ready for it don't get your hopes up for your city because it could cost the crew some money for the trip to try and sabotage the business. Now if you are successful you should get a small reward that I had thought about and could not come up with anything good other than the leader of the crime having to submit a anonymous post (so no one knows who did it) before the crime that way it has to be a certain length depending on what type of bomb sized used for it to be a success. Now I'm not sure of what everyones thought is on it but some kind of wack back if I may say which yes cause death because it's explosives here people or it can be fifty fifty on the survival rate.

Well thats all I have for now........... some input would be nice.

Businesses aren't meant to bring in money, so I really can't see the aspect of making the owner pay to repair it. If you really feel the need to burn down a bar why not get some friends together and RP it in your local business district instead?

Well I don't know about everyone else but if I go into a local business in the district I always pay for what I get, that way there is some kind of cash flow to the operator.

Personally I have never known a person running a business to expect money from the people that post there. I have always seen the Business District as strictly RP and something to do for fun.

Yes your right, but when the stock exchange was going people was trying to make money by trying to keep the threads going by posting. Yet if the business owner opens a buisness usually your not going in to eat and drink for free. I guess my way of playing is just different from yours.
