New idea for New contracts

Post by Guest » 28.01.2007, 00:33

Ok , i just got this idea .. of some kind of new 'automatic' contract !!!
i think its a great idea ,
we keep the current contract system , but we add something new ..
where two companies make a deal , for example
one supplies (quantity of product) 1000 oil for example with a certain agreed quality , for a certain price .. the contract is due daily / weekly / monthly as agreed upon , if weekly for example , the two companies agree on a certain day on that day 1000 oil will be sold from the supplier , to the buyer for the price agreed upon , automatically and will keep renewing itself and doing the same every week till its canceled and there should be a penalty for not being able to meet the terms of the contract (like the buyer doesn't have enough money , or the supplier doesn't have enough stock ) of a certain agreed upon sum (100k for example ) and if the company can't afford to pay that sum , they should get like 10 days chance to get the money , or the other company takes a building(s) instead of the money .


There could be contracts where companies exchange goods , like plastic for oil or anything ....

i think its a great idea ! what does evreyone else think ? :D

I think this is a good idea, and one that would actually work aswell!!

Im not sure how you would enforce the penalties, I think it would be simpler to not have penalaites.

But to have a contract that is on going would be usefull and ties in to real life and what companies do!

Nice idea :D

It is intended by the owner of the game, that it should not include too much automatism.
And furthermore everybody should be able to stop the game as long as he wants to. When coming back he should find the same company as before. So making automatic contracts would not allow players to have this "break" inbetween.

Btw: this possibility is one of the reasons why I like this game so much! I also know other games with regular costs (e.g. rents or something like that). And I hate it coming back after being ill or having to work a lot and the company went bankrupt...
