2cwldys Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 You know how the Merchant role is very hard to get or obtain? What if the community could allow people to still get the Merchant job, but you can apply on a whitelist to submit your company, either a merchants guild or some sort of minor corporation working to fund the economy under NanoTrasen, the possibilities are up to the player and the rules of the server. This would be neat to me and my friend as we wish to be merchants, the structure of the whitelist is totally up to you guys if you accept it.. I would think that it can go something like this.. (THIS IS NOT A APPLICATION FOR MYSELF IM JUST PUTTING AN EXAMPLE!) Previous Character Names: Sally, Sue, and Jim bob (other account placeholders, these are not my characters!) Character Name for one to lead the Company: John Doe Company Name: John Doe Enterprises Type of Company: Personal Enterprise Company Background: Has been known to run off and insult bald characters in gray jumpsuits What would you sell ?: All types of goods across Tau Ceti, etc.. Do you support NanoTrasen, (other corporations etc..) : Yes, (can say neutral) This is a draft but it'd be nice to have so people does not really have to wait to obtain a Merchant role and you can just apply for it to be on for that character, especially mid round. You guys can do whatever you wish to with this but It's just a suggestion and could be neat for that kinda role. You could also incorporate a feature to if you are going to apply for this whitelist, perhaps you need a few other players interested in working for the company so the application be accepted, up to you guys though.
UnknownMurder Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 My opinion is... Merchants do not come in every round. I've never been a merchant (and never wanted to be one) and it appears to be hard enough as it is. It's a moderate rarity for people to be able to obtain the sacred merchant position. We do not need to create more work for administrations, moderators, or anyone else on determining applications. They can choose to make a history background for merchants, but it's unlikely that anyone would read over it.
Ron Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 In my opinion the role of whitelists is not to make it easier to become that role for whitelisted people, but to increase the roleplay quality/competency coming from people who play the role. I don't see a major problem with merchant on the RP side of things currently, so I disagree with the suggestion.
2cwldys Posted January 25, 2018 Author Posted January 25, 2018 Okay thank you for your feedback on my suggestion!
