Pay and Sprays - The predicament

[Ivan_MC]

Make the release when there are no players around the server.

Cool idea. Also the auction idea is kinda cool.

[Kostas]

I'd rather see them in the hands of people who will RolePlay with them... other than just get an easy income... Maybe hand them out like that to groups/peoples?

Yes. A wise man told me roleplayers gets nothing while non rp truckers and firemen get everything.

So what do you suggest? "Oh Teddy i am very good RPer please man i deserve the Idlewood one please man" ?
You guys nuts. Also dislike the lotto and the other idea that gives you the PnS. That is an ownable business, you have the cash you go and buy it. Why would someone that doesn't have the cash or maybe some random guy that joined Argo yesterday suddenly gets himselfe ig and says a random number and wins the lotto and gets the pns, and after 2-3days decides not to play anymore and that pns get stuck in his hands.... If that's the case i would like admins to give me the 4D for free. That is so pointless.

[Kostas]

There could be applications ... and after lots of thought, the HQ would decide who is worth one, and which one...

[jovanca]

i agree with the idea of hosting events and making PNS a prize for the winner. competitions such as destruction derby, nascar events, races etc.

[AK47]

love it

[Bundy]

One week auction, highest bidder gets the place?

[Marcel]

An auction is the fairest and most orderly of the proposed solutions. I'd go with that.

[Antonio.]

I think it's only fair that the people who actually have the money for it should be able to get it; these can prove to be better than Ammu-Nations, yet Ammu-Nations weren't awarded through events, instead whoever collected enough money for it first got it. This is the only good solution if they aren't just released as unowned properties like the other.

[Pandalink]

That's good.

People racing to buy them on release, camping at them/logging out next to them, taking fucking days off school or work (come on, you know people would do that, especially if it was a weekday) is not a good idea.

Auctions sound like a good idea, or long term event schemes (that still require the player to purchase the thing for full price). Quick events like a DD or something are a bad idea, especially since DDs are frankly won by the best cheater who doesn't get caught nascaring or intentionally lagging (and there are many examples of how other single events could be manipulated). People would literally risk a ban to hack in some way (like a carhp hack) because the reward would actually be worth it.

Keep in mind that financially I'm not even close to being able to afford one, so I have no vested interest.

[Comrade]

It is with this in mind that I announce we will be taking full ownership of all PNS...

That's grea--

...and will begin handing them out.

Well shit.

I suppose it is a better idea than just releasing them for the community to fight over. Although I have to say, an actually role-played state-auction does sound pretty neat on paper, and it would be great economically speaking (by both removing potentially large sums of money from the game and also giving the rich people something good to spend it at), it also makes these rare assets unobtainable for people that spend most of their money on events for the community or are just poor in general. Handing them out as extraordinary lottery or event rewards would be the best choice in my opinion, as it would give everybody in the community a fair chance. Not everything should be about who has the largest pixel-bucks stockpile.

I must say you have a fair point to be honest. I'm curious what Teddy will decide as his approach to this release.

[Johan_S]

For my opinion: Some of PNS's should be given to roleplay factions such as "Verdant Motors" "AncelottiGarage" or new factions/organizations which would like to roleplay and dedicate their time in those assets. How to give to those companies? Let's do some roleplay campaigns. HQ can vote who will deserve. We can put one limit of inactivity for those factions so to give the chance to other concurrents in case the winning company do not show interest on their PNS. Yes will take time but will worth it.

As we see around, the money to purchase those properties isn't a problem. And in case that we will do "race" i know users/community members who have the possibility to buy all the PNS's of San Andreas at once, Yes it's possible. So for the first time lets do this kind of challenge between groups or individuals which are interested to.

You know their value? And if you can please share those "users" who have that possibility?
