After the completely failure of my company spy i will make now a proposal for a new style of contests...
it will be a new realm contest where every company will start with the same 500.000 caps and in the end period of the 14 days contest the winner will be the one with the most cash and the realm then will be reset.. prizes will be sent to the companies in realm 1 and 2.. the most important in this will be that all companies of all sizes can go for the win..
so what do you think about it??
NEW CONTEST STYLE

Right, well no.....
First up, what if I dont wanna play? I want r3 more!
Secondly how would this benefit smaller players? It would mean that highly experienced players will, as usual, dominate. Kinda destroying the value to small players if u ask me
Dose this mean that I can simply play this game for only the length of the contest and then we get some sort of bonus next time? Or is it permanently be going start-restart-start again? I play because its perpetual, if it wasn't I may as well go play an equally stimulating game of monopoly! Disney Edition!
Oh yer and this will never work....I cant only barely get a store working properly with only 500k, and if I could make a gas station then another player could fill 6 of em for the same size in factory space and thats with ads! Now throw into the bag the fact that I wont have a decent Q AT ALL and your sales volume rockets straight downhill meaning that for every factory players will have to have 10+ times the sales space.
Next is the fact that anything with an even remotely lengthy production line would be nutso. Trying to collaborate with other players in such a short time span (you would have to get rolling within a day for that to be worth the headache) would be all but impossible. For TVs for example you would need one player with:
Silicon, e-comps, oil, minerals, quartz, chems, glass, plastic, Tvs and sales
Thats 10 separate industries trying to snap together in hours, and if you did get it done it could only be by setting it up with players preceding the game and thats just cheating! Not great for industry variation eh?
Also how would the game make money? I buy coins because I want more builds....in 14 days I will only be grazing the 60 mark with 20m builds and im not too keen on spending money each week just to sell to the system for pittance since thats all that coins will be good for.
Well hope I dident pop your balloon too badly, no chance bud. By the time you've finished coming up with convoluted strategies to get around these problems ill have another dozen to really &%#$ up your day (Thats "mess" btw
)
Wow on second reading I sound like a real rear-end there, sorry m8 I must be tired!

sorry for any mistakes in my english
-first if you dont want to play you can do it.. like the way the system works today you can also not take part in competition...
- secondly you and sergiu that started the game a lot after than older players you don't luck of experience like lots of other people but you can't handle player with fixxed assets of 30 bilion just because that if they want they can win the contest.. but if all start with the same base is more fair for everyone from my point of view..
- third.. this is a contest part not the game.. you are still in realm 2 and your company is running smoothly but an extra realm contest open for 14 days and then reseted.. your company stays as it is..
- all the rest you mention is the difficulty of this contest and is the same for all.. so is fair for me..
-money to game.. by buying some coins in the begining and selling them to system will be great boost.... like dammed did when his fixed assets where 4 bil with the second one to 400 mil!!!
also 500.000 that said as the starting amount of money can change to bigger one if necesery..
this should not be a regular contest but a special one 2-3 times a year..
i suggest that contests are the best thing in this game so a wide variance of them will be great..
and don't be so hursh to people that suggest something new liking it or not.. try always to the see the bright view of the life..

As far as I understand your idea you would like to see a server/realm, that will be reset after a certain period of time (you suggested 14 days). The player who got most e. g. FA/cash/points in that time is the winner and gets a prize to his account in R1/R2.
Having this in mind I have to say the following.
A server that will be reset is nothing that will come for Kapilands. Kapilands is created as a "long time game", a game that you can play year by year and nothing really bad will happen to your account. Resetting the server from time to time would be absolutely against this idea of letting players create their own business structure.
And beside this, even if the first "contra" would not be that important, the idea of sending prizes to accounts in R1/R2 is not very clever. What about players that only have got an account in the new "reset server"? They could not get any prizes if they won in the new realm. This would lead to some kind of duty to have got an account in R1/R2. And you would also need to play your account there because otherwise you would not have got any "advantages" by getting your prize from the "reset server".
In order to sum up this is a nice idea to bring some new elements into Kapilands but in the end this does not fit into Kapilands.

i understand that this is something a little or a lot away from kapilands.. but when i have an idea i share it..
let me explain it a little bit better..
on sunday it will be on an R1 CONTEST and R2CONETST server.
every company in r1 and r2 will have a new company in these contest relms with the same name as in r1 and r2.. the 100 in cash at 254 hours after the start will get the same prices as happening now in their companies in r1 or r2.. and then the contest will be over and the server is going down..
this will not happen on regular basics.. 1-2-3 times a year..
so new companies that will be in r1 and r2 only as there is the one place we can register will have an equal opportunity to win the contest as all companies will start from zero point...

I am going to be rather pessimistic here. Beware!
What's the point of setting up this server if the contest only runs for 14 days (two weeks) and only 1-3 times a year, as you suggest?
Even if you increased the time for the contest I'm fairly sure contestants would become bored very easily if they work their hardest in getting a good ranking, only to miss out and get nothing and see their company vanish due to a reset.
This contest of yours is just a very short version of Kapilands, really.

Though this does seem to be a very interesting idea, there is one major problem that I would like to point out.
Since every company would be starting with the same amount of caps, and there would be a set time frame for the contest to end.. It would not take long for people to figure out the most profitable items to make and sell to max out their profits during the given time.
Example:
If gas turns out to be the most profitable at Q0..
Build Well, Factory, Gas station.
Expand for 2-3 days.
Sell in Station.
Contest over...
It really is an interesting idea, but unfortunately anyone with decent math skills can figure out the exact timing to max profits and soon everyone would be tied at the end of the contest.
Just my thoughts..
