NOTE: Not requesting script support here, this is in the forum ideas because it is a idea and i am hoping that the community will help me do this.
Okay so i had a very simple idea, but ofcourse i alone cant do this so i will need a few volunteers(No ranks in this system, no payment either)
My idea is very simple, and i am confident that MANY people would like this.
PS:I have no idea how the real life stock system works and i do not at all want it complicated like that, i came up with a simple and easy system for this.
I will demonstrate it with an example.
Say Player 1 owns a potential good company, he already started off with the company, but now he needs more money to fund him, so he decides to sell off his company shares.
When he decides to sell off shares, he comes to the share exchange(A.K.A those who help me out with this project)
He gets 500 shares that he cannot sell, and is bound by a legal contract now(To be signed on the forum).
Now currently theres only 500 shares in the company, so he has 100 percent ownership of it.
Now others can buy the shares for his company, and if a 50 percent majority is there(by legal contract) then the decision must be taken into account(A.K.A now over 100 people can own one company, but the boss will still be the C.E.O). Making it more realistic but we keep it simple.
The owner decides a base-price at which the shares start rolling(Can be 1$ or can be 1billion, but if its too high who will buy a share in the company?).In the same way a jump rate(The amount increased after each share purchase) can also be set by the company owner so if the jump rate is set to 50 then its 5000,5050, 5100,5150 e.t.c and if the jump rate is 500 then its 5500 6000 6500 7000 and so on.The minimum jump rate will be 50.
So say the base price is 5000, then if Player B wants to buy a share in the company he must pay 5000 dollars, the price increases by 50$ each time a share is bought, so player c wants to buy a share after B, he has to pay 5050, and then 50100 for the next and so on.
The money goes to the company owner(If he tries things like scamming, then you can use stuff like court but if it fails, it is YOUR responsibility to know everything about the person you want to invest into).
similiar to buying the shares, you can also sell them off, that is where the real monopoly and money-earning comes in.
So say player A1 buys a share in 1's company at 5000
player A2 buys another for 5050
Player A3 buys for 5100
Player A1 sells the share for 5100
Player A4 buys a share for 5100(Since it fell to 5050 when player 1 sold his)
The money will be in a direct contract with the person you invest in, the player-made community will help but wont be legally responsible.
In simple words, you buy and sell shares, and the player who you invest in gets to increase his company's power and reputation.
This way, new companies with low funding but his capacities can have people invest in them, and the rich who invest will be able to make a monopoly out of this, while helping the player in question at all times.
Note: I repeat again that this is NOT a request for any kinds of scripts, i am asking for volunteer players to help me out with this idea
Note:For this a requirement of a C.E.O will be present, who can be changed by a 50 percent majority of shareholders.The C.E.O can give back anyone's shares(but the price will be the same as normal, and his company will suffer a loss naturally when he does it) he can also ban someone from buying a share into his company.
