Gun businesses aren't as two-dimensional as the Food shops, you kinda have to login and do stuff, even though it doesn't translate to actual work.

Meh... plus your personal experience lies with you, Van, and Reece leading the business. Pretty optimal.

This is still pretty irrelevant (I'm overusing that word today) based on the topic of discussion, since gun shops are the non 'raw' production businesses. I was just outlining in detail why Reese should stop posting :3.

Yeah fair enough. I'd argue that with a good enough team of supervisors and managers, you'd never need to do much, but i suppose some crisis always causes enough chaos for the owner of a gun business to have to fix everything anyway

Charge rent that was my solution. I think all businesses should be charged rent for the space they are in and also pay bills, i.e. electricity.

If the owner fails to pay the rent every month or week then they are kicked out and the business shuts down.

I think for a reasonable price the player can actually purchase the property and then would only have to pay bills. And if that player quits playing the game then the new owner goes to renting out the space unless the player signs the property over to the player.

I think you are all looking at this the wrong way.

Wow, see this makes alot of sense. Just alot of the posts on it don't.

I also don't see it as a big deal Alfanso was going to give this bussiness to someone. Not many people even get grc buffs. Most people that play buy speed potions. The other buffs, I don't think they would've been a big deal or a 'hit'. Alot of people buy them for the first few weeks and then it declines. But I also can see why Tim made this decision, all these factors you guys layed out are honestly irrelevant because the fact remains he did do it and had his reasons. All you guys posting everything every manager does, and all having meticulously thought out; diferent angles on why it was wrong or right doesn't get anyone anywhere if anything it slows production down, because than they feel the need to defend themselves on something they really don't need to do, and it's almost never personal. But everyone seems to make it out to be that way.

Derp.

I think you should have kept them player-ran Tim. If the issue is with owner's making to much money, why not just have it ran by the GBA? Part of the fun of Era is having a job. You could just have the GBA hire a Manager, who keeps the place under control and gets paid a salary. This way no one is getting all the extra money, and there is still player jobs

jkldogg · #58 01-02-2012, 02:42 PM

GreenRoads Cafe shouldn't have ever been made player-ran, it was absolutely FINE the way it was. Era cafe shouldn't have ever been made, time wasted. All you guys had to do was add new drinks to GreenRoads Cafe, problem solved.

Sounds like a long winded and BS'ed way to go about it.
Just supporting Alfonso's follies though right?

Doing monotonous tasks for minimal pay while someone reaps the benefit of your work hardly sounds 'fun'.
Currently, you don't have to suck someone off to get hired and receive your rewards immediately for doing the same job. No one forces you to 'go stock' or benefactors from 'paying' you to do it.

Sounds pretty fine to me.
Plus, we don't have undesirables like Reese running the biz.
