Toarobot18 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) No, what information you know about foreign countries is provided through my foreign status updates and through contact with national leaders using communication devices. The functionality of the military only consists of those abilities listed in the Full Rules: attacking and defending targets and assisting (with permission) in foreign nations' attacks and defense.

JiMing Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) Wow, I'm the first person to start a business? I'm honored.Anyways, I think I'll invest 16 widgets to make 4 loafs of bread. Come on in, and buy, buy, buy! (That is, if the game has started yet. If not, I will move this to when it does as my first action) Edited February 21, 2012 by JiMing Quote Haven't seen one of these in a long time...

Brightpaw Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I'd like to buy a weapons business please. I will need a few guns to protect myself, and then also guns to sell. Once I research more advanced weapons I'll need to have a variety on hand. Therefore, I ask the senators to make an amendment to their weapons restrictions law so that weapons business owners are exempt. Also, that last update makes it sound like that country may attack us. Therefore I would appreciate a donation from the government; I need to research more advanced weapons so that our army will be completely prepared for an attack. However, I don't have much spare money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toarobot18 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) Processed. EDIT: It will cost 20 widgets, as you don't have a communication device. Still want to do it?Note that when buying from another citizen, as a two-way transaction, first the purchasing citizen must state what he wants to buy and what he's paying for it, then the seller must confirm the purchase on his side. (Businessmatoran, If you wish to automate purchases so you don't have to approve each transaction, you can simply state that intention and name the price of your goods.)

JiMing Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) Hm.... I'll think about it.And for now, I guess I will set my price at 10 widgets for a loaf of bread. The number will most likely change a lot to fit needs. Edited February 21, 2012 by JiMing Quote Haven't seen one of these in a long time...

Toarobot18 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 You can make only foods with a food business, but with product research you may develop better quality foods, which may spoil slower and/or increase happiness in addition to preventing starvation.

Let's Henshin! Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Dude, JiMing I would lower your price, currently Baclo Berries are on sale for only 7 widgets.However in an effort to support home business I'll pay 10 widgets for a loaf of bread.

JiMing Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) Alright, after this transaction, bread is only 8 widgets. If it needs to go any lower, inform me.

Burnmad Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) Ona, you're gonna go bankrupt. He hasn't actually made the bread yet, by the way.JiMing, I'd recommend buying a comms device first, you can afford it and it'll save you what you spent quickly.I would also set my price at 6 widgets, a 2 widget profit per loaf once you get a comms device.Also, TR, do produced items belong to the business or the owner*? And do you need to own a business to sell items? Lastly, can you trade items?*For example, can someone eat bread they produced? - Edited February 21, 2012 by Burnmad: Toa of Emoticons Quote Avatar by Brickeens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiMing Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) How much does a comms device cost?And let's hold off on any transaction until I buy it.

- JL - Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) yay! 3 business matoran! Now, somebody needs to make a weapon business. Also, will there at some point in the game be a 'Apartment' or 'House' business, and then people will be forced to buy from it?Also, can Senators invest in business' so as to gain money from it? (e.g. A contract of 'I will pay 100 widgets for use on this business, so for the next month, I will gain 10% of the weekly income of this business.)I would also like to purchase 2 bread, meaning that JiMing has no more bread to be sold and I have good food to be eaten.Hopefully good. Dunno what it would be like to have 4 widgets invested in 1 bread.136-12=124 widgets left.I will also buy a Quality Couch M.2124-11=113 widgets left.

Toarobot18 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 The businesses you see are those you get; I have no plans for making additional ones. However, a very advanced "home gadget" might be called a house. No one is forced to buy anything, unless the senate makes you or someone holds you at gunpoint. Investment? That sounds like something you'd have to work out with the business owner.

Toarobot18 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) Creating a home business costs 150 widgets. Misread your post, sorry. Processing.200 - 150 = 5050 - 22 = 2828 - 2 x 8 = 12 widgets remainingFor the record, unless citizens specify that they wish transactions to be pre-approved, I will assume otherwise. (Think of each sale as a trade of an item for a certain amount of widgets, just as any citizen, businessmatoran or not, can do. Both citizens have to agree on the trade, unless one has pre-approved all trades with those terms. Businessmatoran do not posses any special abilities besides being able to create the item known as a business, which in turn allows them to research and produce other goods.)

Burnmad Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Soso Nui requires assistance in their defense against Westarhk. However, we cannot provide troops, or we would hurt relations with the latter.So Soso Nui wants 75 more widgets to arm the other half of their military. If a senator would please make a bill to do so, that would be wonderful. I'm assuming Westarhk won't be aware if we do so?Also, who wants to take Tosha96's place as policematoran?- Quote Avatar by Brickeens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
