    Just a FYI guys fighting mechanics aren't going to be amazing for boxing I think I remember devs saying there will only be basic punch and block.

    Punches, blocks, and fast movement is all you really need for boxing.

    As of today, Supreme will have its own boxing team in the "Born To Bleed" boxing league.

    Our first boxer will be our security guard, @djdobish

    My man got gains + light hands, standing at 6'8, 275 pounds. 

    @OnePumpWonder will be his representative, and will handle press conferences and such. @Tat2xNova will be his personal trainer.

    Hello, everyone!

    I have a great idea for a business that I might possibly like to invest time in creating. However, I know very little about how to form a business and how a business works. I will not be publicly displaying my business idea (for fear of copiers), but I would be interested in telling you what I am looking for in education about my business. I have seen that there are many talented and educated people on these forums, and I am asking that just one of you will help me learn. Thank you very much. Message me if you are interested. 

    Sure!

    Go ahead and shoot me a PM about what you're interested in learning about. I'm not the most knowledgeable guy in the world, but I can at least help you get a basic understanding of the functions of modern business.

    I agree with the majority of that! I'll set a $5000 limit on items that are if bulk, but all limited edition, exclusive,  and auctioned items will have no limit!


    Even if a particular product is produced in bulk and is priced at $5000, if there's a consumer demand for that product and the consumer base is willing to purchase at that price (hypothetical), then what is the problem with this? 

    It's a consensual business transaction between two people. Are you advocating to essentially put a gun to a businessman's head and force him to price his products at a certain price range? There should be no need for this. The product will price itself through the market demand. 

    Also, FYI it's highly unlikely that anyone would be willing to pay $5000 for your typical Fruit of the Looms T-Shirt because of consumer market demand so I don't see a reason why you feel the need to have such a regulation in place for mass-bulk products. It seems so pointless. And on top of that, on a philosophical scale, it can be found as pretty disgusting to many people who believe in the most basic principles of individual liberty.

    On their own, meaning the price needs to be approved!  Anything over $5000 is ridiculous! 

    Is it really ridiculous? If it's a limited edition piece, that is a legendary clothing collaboration between two companies that have had major differences over the years and they release something of the sort and price it at $5000, with many people very much WILLING to pay $5000 for that piece, is it really ridiculous?

    I am very unsettled by the idea that the government can control what is accepted as "ridiculous" or not, even if the consumer base thinks entirely differently. What is a "ridiculous" price is decided by the person BUYING the item. The government should have absolutely ZERO business in a consensual transaction between two people.

    That's not ridiculous pricing...that pricing makes sense! 

    Then please explain further what you mean by the following:

    Raising the price to market demand IS in essence, responding to free market forces. Customer demand and willingness to buy at a certain price IS a free market force.

    Only because some businesses will try screwing over customers with high prices! If the clothing or product is copyrighted and customers can't get it anywhere else and they want it they have no choice but to pay whatever ridiculous price is presented! That's why it needs to be approved to be fair to the customer!  

    So essentially, you're putting an end to high-end clothing and fashion that's of limited quantity. You're conflating current government policy of industry monopoly with individual company. What you're planning to do is perfectly okay for industry monopoly, but NOT for an individual privately owned company. You can't regulate the price of my Supreme T-Shirt just because somebody can't buy the same T-shirt elsewhere. That's our property, and we can sell the product at the price that the market demands. Having the ownership to sell a particular T-Shirt does not equate to having monopoly over an industry by any means. Somebody can go by a T-Shirt somewhere else.. they don't have to buy MY T-Shirt.

    Let's say for instance, that my company only releases in limited supply, and we release 20 stock of a particular clothing of a particular size, at $1000 dollars a piece (not to say that this is what my company will do, but just as example). Is this ridiculous in the eyes of the government? If there's a market demand for this piece of clothing, then why can't the organization put the price to what the customer is willing to pay? Prices are due to change dependent upon the willingness of the customer base, NOT the government.

    If you're going to continue down the anti-free market position, I can't find myself supporting you unfortunately. It's the market that determines prices and wage, NOT the government. If you place fictitious price and wage regulations, it will saturate the market and destroy the economy.

    What will you do in terms of protecting the intellectual property of the companies on Identity? Will you introduce laws that allow companies to trademark their designs and logos to help keep the integrity of small and large businesses? These businesses will surely be an integral part of our economy, so it would be wise to help protect these businesses from destroying each other.

    Of course companies will manage their own prices and so forth, that's too much hassle for the state! However, I won't allow off brand items or reselling in another store! If it's Supreme Clothing it's only sold out of a Supreme Clothing store and garage sales, not another store! I want to keep the people's loyalty towards the businesses they attend! 

    However, you have stated something differently here:

    Businesses follow the plan's production and hiring targets. They can't respond on their own to free market forces. 

    Here, you state that the government regulates a businesses's production, and on top of that you state that businesses cannot respond to the free market.

    Ahh, see it's 10% tax on business profit! After all employees have been, products have been bought, etc! Depending on what a business reports as profit a business could almost no tax!

    I see. Thanks for clearing that up.

    However, I seem to have run into another concern.

    In your post, you clearly are against the free market. Will you allow businesses to control their stock, and prices for their products? As my clothing line is a high-end brand, your apparent position on this is worrying at the least.

    Yes, companies will be required to copyright all things associated with their business! The copy right process will cost *small cost*, but be worth since no one will be able to use your product, logo, etc!

    Good to hear! 

    So far, I can say you have my support.

    However, I do have one concern. Do you think it's deterring people from becoming business-owners when you put a 10% tax on income, but then ANOTHER 10% on business revenue? It seems like you are essentially placing a 20% tax on business-owners, and a 10% tax on everyone else.

    P.S. Why do you care and technically businessman and shop owner are different.

    Don't really care that much. Well, maybe enough to make a comment on it but yeah, not a big deal.


    Also, by the way a businessman can actually own multiple shop locations.


    For example, I am the CEO and Owner of Supreme Clothing, and we are opening shop locations in Roseport and Ash Hill.
