    See you in the streets Frank

    *On the streets, I cannot be inside a street. It will be hard to see me, you have to see my men first, then make your way through the crowd. So unless you got a good reason to see me, you wont be able to. Make an appointment when the game comes out.

    I have a few question about the city of Ash Hill. I am aware it will be the second largest city in the game, where the town square module takes place, and that it is based on Ashville NC. I am also aware that the old concept map will be quite different from the final product. My question is, how much larger do you guys plan to make Ash Hill compared to the concept map. Will it have a small industrial area, a decent amount of suburbs around it, and a good amount of streets? @Paratus @Motown

    Ok. It's good to know you have everything worked out. It's just that imo page is very general and doesn't really give a lot specific details. 

    It seems as if you are interested. If so, I guess you should PM honeybadger, and what role you might qualify for.

    What does "Help each other out mean?" It's a very general term and doesn't specify any requirements for membership. Who or what system decides who gets "help" and who has to "help"? It's better to work out stuff like this before your conglomerate exists.

    Investments, discounts, political favours are just some examples. It's all in the page. Most things are already worked out and are known amongst the members of the conglomerate, everything is mutual. If you have more questions, then honeybadger might answer you, he came up with the idea.

    I have a few questions about the things you have stated

    So you say here you want to set up a government, but you didn't say what the structure of this government will be. You have these advisers, but how will they come together to make decisions? Basically what I'm asking is: Do you have a specific system in mind for how the management of your company will make and approve decisions?

     

    As someone who plans to run a bank, I have a huge problem with this. Business loans inherently need high interest rates to offset the risk involved with investing in businesses. Basically, the best case scenario is that you lose money due to a majority of businesses failing or the worst case, you will crash the economy because you give out free money without appropriately compensating for risk.

    Where are you going to get the money to run these services? Yes you have businesses as "members" but what does that actually mean? Do they pay you a % of their profits as a membership fee? Do you act as a parent company and oversee the profits of the company and it's distribution? I'm not really sure how you plan to run this, aside from, "we'll decide what we want to do later."

     

    This is a massive conflict of interests. While not illegal, anyone who votes John Rockafeller to be president is an Idiot. The entire point of a company is to make profit. That is it's sole mission. If someone with loyalty to a company then controls the government, it is their obligation to pass laws to make a company more profitable. Meaning they either betray their company, by being a good politician, or they betray the people by being a good businessman. It's putting too much power in one organization. 

    Oh what do you know I was right....

     

     

     

    Overall my main problem with this is that when your goal is to do everything, you'll end up doing only most things, REALLY bad. I shake my head  when I read about companies saying they want to do everything to make money. You're forming an organization that's planning on literally doing everything there is to do in the game, which while possible, isn't something you can do right from the getgo. While possible, if you're not already the best, you'll just get out competed by other more specialized companies. Start small and dream big. The Roman empire wasn't made in a day.

    I believe you are partially misinterpreting the goal of this. The neighborhood isn't a big company, it's a conglomerate of business partners amongst other things, that just help each other out. There will be "specialists" of every field such as politicians, potential business tycoons, officers of the law, and the mafia. The people in this conglomerate know what they are getting into, so politicians and entrepreneurs who don't wish to help each other out, should stay away.

    The prices will go up in the future, the low price is the incentive and reward for buying now, taking a small risk on a game that isnt out yet. You can pay another 15 to upgrade your package and get beta access.
