Stop using staff blocks for everything.

Changed my mind with this. To make the job a little less like mail delivery, you should receive a bike for the period of time in which you're delivering newspapers and then return it. Once you've done a certain amount, the Era News place could give you it as a gift to use outside of the job.

I thought of an idea to make this idea possible while keeping it player run.
A player would be able to buy a month long subscription to era news. He pays, say, 1k for the month of delivery. This money is controlled by an NPC for the next month. The 1k is taken by npc and put in an npc bank account that neither customer or era news can access. For every paper that is delivered to the customers mailbox, 100g is automatically withdrawn from the npc account and given to the era news safe. At the end of the month the customer will receive the leftover money from the npc account. (if there is any)
Also something will have to be scripted to prevent the paper boys from delivering the same paper more than once.

This solves the problem of a customer paying for delivery, and getting ripped off by lazy paper boys. : )
