Businesses and running costs. | Started by: Blagger on Feb 05, '10 11:03 |
Actually this is a bit of an idea I have almost suggested elsewhere (corporations thread) |

Honestly, I don't think it should cost money to run businesses. If anything, we should encourage business owners (perhaps by using the MRSE) by paying THEM and not the other way around. |

I agree with Kates. As it happens in real world, the business owners should get some profit through the stocks. |

But business owners in the real world don't automatically make money, and if you read what i posted, sucessful businesses would be rewarded. |

I think it should cost money to run a business... but should also generate cash when people other than family members post. And if you cant run it into making profits... than you bankrupt. That would be more realistic. |

Most of this community is built on forums - and it might very well turn some people off for the initial cost. |

There are a lot of people who never attend the business districts, I know of at least one GF for whom this is true. At the same time the business districts are rife with OOC posts, and historically inncurat posts. All I'm trying to do is suggest a way that rewards quality and encourages good businesses instead of some using it as an easy way to get their posts u with no efort. |

I've seen a few more suggestions lately similar to this. For instance Vicodin's suggestion of Godfather control over the business forum and Aftershock's suggestions on revamping the business districts. |

I think this idea would be addressed if the MRSE comes back. I miss it. :( |

This is a wonderful Idea. This would be a great addition for roleplaying. Also it adds a little more realism to this Thing Of Ours. |

I agree with sneaky rat in that if you have to pay money to set up a business then you should definately recieve money either from a certain amount each time a post is made or from stocks and shares ie. if its a god business you make money, if its a bad one you dont. otherwise your giving money for nothing - if there's going to be economic realism with the business forums then it should be everything or nothing otherwise its unfair and people lose out. |

although I have no idea what god businesses actually entail, organized religion after all is a complex issue. |

I'm a big big fan of using game monies for the business district. Its been shot down by the user base a time or two i believe. No one wants to give up monies that could be going to make more IWPers or credits for MIAs. |

Umm, I'm kind of caught half way cause I'm seriously thinking of a business idea and it really fits with the program. the thing is if the cost of setting it up were to unreasonable I wouldn't be doing it. Now I realize business should be for profit but, what if it was the desire of the business owner not to make money ( sounds really dumb eh) from the business. You might say what I have in mind couldn't fail. If you consider something like a business fee then on the opposite side you must allow for a source of revenue. Is this really a good idea. |

I feel this would almost entirely kill of the business district, I could be wrong but that is my current view. |
