I like these ideas. I think implementing a random number generator is a good way to set up a stock exchange as well. For we need standardized pricing on things or most corps won't know if they are competitive or not. The lack of structure is probably what is keeping some folks from joining up in the fun...
I had a cool idea for an agency corporation, but I figured it wouldn't really be classed as a corporation, though it could be put under News Corporations. It depends.
Whoops. I didn't notice this earlier? Well, I try my best to try to try to interact with others in my cafe, but it always ends up just them buying a cup of joe, then saying their thanks and never being heard of again. The last time I attempted to put in a big even, it ironically ended up destroying my old corporation. So, yeah. It would be cool to make big events, have alliances with others, and set up production chains, but it seems like most people just don't try to make something creative, and it gets quite boring
Id love to find an RP server that is capable of retaining 100 players at a time and actually RP the corps that we have made with all the other people RPing their characters and Corps. Then use these pages to update any news or information for what has happened in game.
Once a group of players get a corporation with that kind of business going, they'll create a self-sustaining loop of awesomeness.
Don't worry, I've already posted an announcement on my cafes page to try to get this going. I'm going to try to get as much people as I can to do this, but I have finals to study for :S
maybe special category for my beer selling brewery and Dave's cafe and other (is there any) drink selling companies.Also you should extra support people that will decide to make groceries .
I . . .suggest . . . a starship race with racers sponsored by various companies. and with people companies role playing the pilots. anyone else have thoughts on this idea? I just thought that it would be fun because racing is a simple enough rp to do but still allows for a lot of different corps to get involved. Of coarse we would need a panel of judges to decide the winner. I propose the winner be decided by whoever rp's the best. IE makes the best reading material. IE contributes the most to the story. Furthermore some ideas for how corps can get involved is: We will need a space course to have the race in. Maybe we can get someone who owns a asteroid field to set it up while any tech manufacturers sponsor the race with each tech or manufacturing firm hiring a racer to pilot a space ship sporting there logo? We will need medical staff in case of injuries so then medical related corps can provide that services and in turn any sponsoring companies can provide those medical companies money for services rendered. Of coarse the race will need coverage and so news agencies and stuff can cover the race and they can make money off from advertisements exc aired during the race. The race will take place over 4 days (this can be discussed) and rp will be around the same time every day for anyone who want's to take part. Though I suggest we make an event signup post so we know what companies want to take part. Finally ground rules. 1. No God Moding (this should be obvious) Anyone doing so will self disqualify from the race. 2. Anyone signing up to take part in the race rp as a racer will forfeit a match if they fail to contribute to the rp during any of the days it was scheduled. NOW this is all just a suggestion and I am sure people out there have there own thoughts; I welcome them. I really want to make this happen and it is my hope that this idea would revitalize the rp sections here. ~ Inkwell Industries.
That sounds like an excellent idea. Maybe, finally, with the influx of members from beta, we can get some sustainable corporate environment started. Perhaps start contacting the members of leading corporations for cooperation? I would also be wiling to act as a pilot in the race and be sponsored by a corporation
Consider SivCorp a sponsor. We will have tryouts for our pilots once the league has enough pilots to compete. We will also look inward for a possible pilot... one of our Glitch has a very enhanced reflex system we have noticed....
Of course, I won't need a sponsor, being the retired CEO of the G.F.F anyways. And since I'm human, you can expect me to try and win. *dons triangular shades*
sounds like a solid idea. I'll get on it tomorrow. I have to go to bed now, wok starts at 7am and its 100 now
So, out of curiosity, are the corporations still being revitalized or is this all dead? I also saw another subforum for corporations within the clans subforum for this category, so it's kind of confusing...
