I was just thinking, if it would be worth setting up some sort of bank or fund for Virtonomics. This could be used as a fund for beginners for things such as start up costs. I remember when I first started out, I spent quite a bit of real money for virtual money as I was running deficits because my business was expanding. Maybe more experienced players could contribute a small amount of any excess money that is just sitting around or not being reinvested to the fund in return for an award. The bigger the sum, the bigger the award etc. It doesn't have to be much e.g. millions. I don't know if admin would like this though as the real money used to buy virtual money in the game is used to maintain Virtonomics (keep the game running) and to make improvements. However, there are still plenty of things in the V-store that people can buy to create revenue for Virtonomics. Also, the fund should be non-partisan and decentralised i.e. not controlled by a single person.
Just a thought  |

Bonds aren't that bad. When I got $5bil from a bond, I started making $1b a day. So it paid for itself in one day... The system could be worked around the current state of bonds, however the concept of a bank is quite different. Part of the problem is that to get 5B from bonds you would be required to have assets worth 2.5B and be positieve you will have the 5B in full to return it after ~52 turns (partial payments is not an option). If you can't pay the bond back in time you can't issue new bonds either, because you have an unpaid bond or because you're over your limit. - I know issuing max bonds isn't a smart idea and you should make sure you can issue new ones to pay for the old ones before they expire, but that isn't the point. A bank system could be much more flexible and ease up the requirements and payments. Why could not the payments be in expensive products. Exactly, this method is commonly used for loans / payments right now. However this is isn't a very reliable way and is kind of 'bypassing the system'. It would be much easier to use if the game offered a similar but reliable method to lend and borrow money. |

The entire capital markets structure should be redone. Company valuations are broke, no stock market exists, bonds need collateral options due to insane risk level of loans, central bank or IMF could be interesting, the black hole that funds all the deficit governments should be rethought, etc. would be great fun.  |

Yeesss, the company valuations definitely need some work, this doesn't seem like too much trouble and I'm actually quite surprised they are 'broken' in a game 'this old'. Bonds are always 'risky' and without much collateral, thus more expensive for the company/country issuing them. - Part of the reason why loans and banks would be a great addition. What do you mean with the black hole that funds government deficits? Do government deficits just disappear? The way you describe it, it seems quite insane and yet another reason to launch a central bank. I thinks these changes would be appropriate and welcomed following on from the excellent changes made to the Financial Report, which made it interactive and has better enabled me to understand and analyse the performance of my company and each of its subdivisions Yeah the new financial report overview is quite an improvement, hope they continue that trend to improve many of the current reports. It would be nice to be able to filter intercompany transactions as well... Or see the inventory valuations in the same window as the inventories, etc.. |
