So, this will not be some fancy high grade thread. No, this thread is to flush out an idea, an idea so evil genius in mind it cannot be contained. That idea is.... Loan sharking. Basically it works like this: High roller player 'a' can loan money to player 'b' - with a small amount of interest tagged to the investment. Should player 'b' not pay back within a pre determined amount of time the system locks in player 'a' into loan shark mode with a bonus to hit player 'b' until the money is extracted. (The locking in feature is to prevent money transfers from happening) Thoughts? Feedback? (Don't bother with the not enough effort crap it's the idea that counts.) Happy Kaw'ing!! -elegantly_wasted
Money transfers will still happen if your 'locking in' simply causes extra plunder for attacks against the loan-taker; as the loaner will just not hit them and 'let it go'. Also abused to make more money. Loan money to an alt, lock into loan shark mode, hit them for big money.
Instead of player a going into loan shark just make it to where anything player b has out in liquid gold or in pots is sold and taken out until player a is paid back
Id like a system where two players are put up in a duel to the death! The loser is at the mercy of the victor, they can either live, or they reset. Would settle all forms of war in one bout
I wrote something similar recently. Loan vs collateral ie Gold vs Allies or Gold vs Pots. Example player A has 1trillion Ally, player B has trillions in gold offers 800bill gold to receive 900bill in 10 days if not paid player A loses 1 trillion Ally. Now think what you want it better then dropping, Of course player B could say something like need 20mm CS but probably has to be blind other then 20Mm CS or 25, 30 etc. Same with pots but Allies mkt probably needs it more, plus helps OSW frees up funds. Another way to make money.
I think the inflation comes at the top end where the big players makes LOTS of money per hit and then are able to sweep up new land and then make more money because of plunder mechanics - trying to figure a way to soak it up --- It's possible that dts/dtw mechanics could be changed and new expensive pots could be added for a significant cs so they play within the big boys league. (The reason I threw in the 'fight' scenario was to prevent random transfers - and add a degree of 'fun')
I like this as a rough idea but I feel like it would need some big tweaks and changes to fully function as a feature in kaw. The tears you could get from this would be exceptional.
Find LB to loan me enough to Abyssal Build Complete, then never earn a cent of gold again but hey I'm build complete right?
This game is for what 9 Plus? Therefore a terrible idea. It would promote an immoral and dangerous real life avenue to a game.
I thought of this but it also has the opportunity to teach what happens if you get sucked into the horrific world of payday loans
