How about starting a game newspaper which families can control. I know now people post newspapers on the streets but I reckon one game created would be better. I personally think families vying for control of a newspaper is an interesting idea. Having control of the newspaper would bring perks to those cities/districts and it would also allow the people in control of it to post propaganda etc that could strengthen their position by perhaps causing a war in other cities or weaken it by having someone attack due to propaganda. Also if it was game created it means the newspaper would come with some sort of template which removes 90% of the problem people have with creating a newspaper now. It's just a basic idea for now but I reckon it's something that could be massively developed by the community if ever accepted as an idea. |

There used to be a community newspaper long ago. It was usually just one person who ran it and they hired writers to help. You have an interesting idea. How would families gain control of the paper? And would they be allowed to keep control for a certain amount of time? I just don't see people putting in the effort to write for a paper if they could easily lose control of it. |

This could be a nice idea. I would suggest that a family can gain ownership of the newspaper by individuals buying shares. A limited number of shares would be given out and everyone can buy them. The family with the people in it that own the majority of the shares thus has control over the paper. Or something like that. I'm definitely interested in this suggestion. |

The problem with a newspaper isn't the formatting; it is generating the content. Who's going to write the paper in order to make it valuable and something families would want to control? |

I like sovereigns suggestion of buying shares in it. Like I said it's an idea I've had but didn't really know how the coders could code it into the game. Credits what I've noticed in my time around here is that every family has at least one person who loves RP. This gives those people the blank slate with which to create that RP |

| The problem with buying shares is if the family with the most share doesent sell their shares then that family can keep it till defeated unless they reset and family's have to rebuy the shares every so often and it would make since if there was a newspaper per city not just one for the whole game | |

If this is still up for grabs, I would nominate Credits to write said newspaper. Given content, the man is gold. |

I think newspapers are best served as Street posts. I fear most people here don't really understand how "shares" work. People buy into an enterprise to cover costs, then get a percentage of the enterprises's profits based on their shares. Newspapers simultaneously have no costs and no profits, thus making that model useless. That being said, I think it the capital model could work in a number of other features. But I'll post a new suggestion rather than steer this off-course. |
