contest between production industries

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 12.03.2009, 22:34

Hello!

I know this idea will hardly be implemented, but it's fun

I enjoy contests, and I think they bring more energy in the game, so we should find more opportunities to compete with each other. What do you thnk about contest between the whole industries, not between single players?

F.i. Gas vs Wood
All Gas and Wood producers sell their product to the system, and the highest total sum wins. The victorious industry gets 10-15% boost to its production during next 2 weeks.
Next contest will be between Computers and Leather gloves and so on.
This contest doesn't differ between small and big players, all of them work together for the common aim.

Well imagine cars vs power whos gonna win that...

wuld be stupid seeing as popular industrise like gas+awardrobes would win but why would we waste 1-2weeks of products to get a 15% gain in productivity... you might as well keep those products and have a 100%gain by not sellign them to the system for 2 weeks!

The price can be different for different industries
F.i. for realm1 100000c for a car and 0.16c for power
The price should not be much lower than the market price.

The prize can be changed too: 50% increase of production, 40% decrease of production cost and so on

The general idea is to make "team competitions"

nice idea but you would need to make contests between industries that can are many as others
you cant make a contest between steel and wood
or wood and power

in power all you need to do is that powertrix sends his 2 bil power a day in 1 contract and the contest is won

Again, we don't count only amount of products here, but also their cost.
So, one industry sends 2 bil power for 0.16 and gets 320mil points
Other industry send 3200 cars for 100000c and gets the same 320 mil points

If you have other ideas of team competitions - you are welcome

I think, it will be realy great to participate in the contest as a part of a big team!

Heres another idea that i thing would be cool that i posted in anotehr thread:

Myth wrote:I think there should be a contest where if you want in you send in 50 caps, and you are put into the draw, and if you win then you get all the money that was sent from other players, And they could even have high stake ones like 50 or 100million caps.

Only problem with this is how do you send the money in, and if you win how do you get the money.

P.S. Just had another idea, they could do it with coins, you send in 1-5 coins or whatever, and if you win you get all the coins. Kapi makes more money, and it would add a new aspect to the game.

stupid idea imho

for example, take competition between butcher owners and people with factories. there are so few people with butchers and so many people with factories that if all the butchers send their weekly production which would be evaluated at 1000 caps per unit and if 10% of factory owners sent their products which would be evaluated at 20 caps, i think the factory owners would win.

furthermore, an even bigger objection: there are many people that dont only follow one line of production and those would just benefit in any case

Thank you for your kind words! It's always nice to hear an ultimatum about my intellectual faculties.

About your objections:
I agree, contest products should be selected very carefully, and I have selected wood and gas because they are very popular.
About players with multiple production lines - no problem, let them benefit from the contest

But many others will be interested in the competition.

And once again: do you have better ideas of team contests?
If yes, please, share them, because the game needs them very much!

Thank you for showing your mental capacities to the world. Because you know, i said that the idea was stupid and not you. However, with your statement, i think everyone gets quite a clear picture of your intellectual faculties.

As for the team contests, i dont have any bright ideas atm. Maybe if there were such things like alliances (syndicates) implemented ingame that would lead to more team fun.

i have one objection too. i liked the idea of contests but the object of the contest and the price is a random choice of the machine in a way that someone don't help others.. but you say you choose wood nak gas and it would not benefit me. theopposite will happen because someone else will be boosted his production. Now the way contests are i can buy some products take a certificate sale and meke money or buy cheap and sell high... Or you meant that every week all industries will have competitions in groups opf 2 or 3??

p.s. come one people don't argue.. don't use this strong words (stupid) and many people don't speak so fluently english to undersatnd what you mean greed

Hmmm group syndicates sounds good

then it would be like normal contest except instead of medals they get trophies and instead of contest certificates they can get plaques

Each "syndicate" can have a like homepage/profile
with all their info they want to say
their trophies cabinetetc etc
ok not much physical gain but would make kapi more social and teamwork based

It would probably be the best idea ever
