I think we should be able to name our products. Instead of sell wood q8, I could sell Canadian Pine. That sounds alot nicer and I think would add A friendly aspect to the game. It is more for the people who sell their products in stores, but I think it's a good all around idea.

I think this would very confusing!
because you would sell canadian pine, i would sell Greek oak the other guy something else...
and noone would know what product you are selling!

Well, maybe in brackets it can say what it really is. Here is a contract example:


Contract no. 123456
Sender: Canadian Energy Corp.

Dear Sir or Madam,
we appreciate your order and are sending you the attached contract for your signature.

Sale from company Canadian Energy Corp. to company Example Inc. (id:654321)

10 000 Canadian Pine (quality 8) Unit price: 43

OILRO makes a very good point. Annother thing is that the programes will probably look at this and say"what's in it for us" its more work and no payoff for them.

Well, if the programmers don't want to make the game more fun then they should get new ones. This would add a new aspect onto the game and would be very cool. Yes, people would try to do something like OILRO said, but next to the product they could write in brackets what the product is. For example: Canadian Pine (Wood q8) 43 caps. That would not be too hard for someone to understand.

yes but (or at least in my mined) the only reason the programes will change the gmae now is to 1 increas proffit potental, or 2 do it to increase popularity

but just to keep it clean,

you would buy "canadian pine" through a contract,
but all wood you will have is the wood you choose the name for !

So you receive canadian pine Q7, but you already have produced green oak yourself Q7, then all wood in your warehouse/showcase would be called green oak.


This naming should only be done for a personal showcase, contracts and shops, but not for the market, THAT would be confusion !

If the programmers can't spend time to please their customers, then there in the wrong business and should be fired anyways.

You could just buy the wood as "Canadian Pine" then when you accept it, the wood could go under a sperate warehouse spot from the other woods. I think it is a good idea only for stores.
