The Neighborhood - Recruiting!

[Honeybadger 41]

Hello, I am Honeybadger - and I don't give a .... Well, you know it goes. I have been a part of the gaming community for over a decade across every genre of game there is. I tend to focus mainly on the competitive scene and team-oriented play so I know what it takes to participate in, and lead, a large group to a successful outcome. My current job allows me to play at work, so I will be able to play around 60+ hours a week or at the very least be available when needed. This provides me an excellent opportunity to not only take on a leadership role, but to also stay in the top % of players that you don't want to mess with.  I have about 7 friends (so far) confirmed that will be joining me in this game from previous ones, with more to come closer to launch I'm sure. We will go in with a solid foundation and are looking for other similarly minded and skilled players to hop on board now to help drive this massive engine!

With that being said - what I would like to attempt in this game is to form a sort of conglomerate that is advantageous to everyone involved. Our goals and mission will likely change on a monthly basis contingent on our biggest needs at that time, for example ; We have multiple store owners but not enough trucking companies to provide cheap and timely services so our mission for that month will be to absorb / buyout trucking companies that will operate within our conglomerate. Obviously I can not build and direct this massive engine on my own, so advisers will be appointed to help guide and discuss the appropriate paths for the "clan" to take that will be beneficial to everyone as a whole.

The current projected server capacity is 300 people. Our goal is to achieve at least 150 members of various occupations (mostly consisting of large businesses) thus allowing us to control the flow of the environment around us. Having server majority would enable us to appoint politicians of our choosing as well as secure a larger safety blanket for those operating somewhat outside of the law within our organization.

 

What we are looking for -

 

Advisers (Clan Officers) - Advisers will likely be players interested in the business owner and political career paths. People who are savvy at seeing the big picture and able to collectively discuss the appropriate paths and decisions the clan should make. This role will function as our own mini-government carving out the direction of our conglomerate as a group. Other jobs will include things such as organizing events, recruiting, keeping people in line etc, deciding which businesses to start / absorb. They will be respected members of our society. Please apply with me in private message if you think this is right up your alley. (Yes we will also need war adviser(s) this role will likely consist of Private Military or Police Captain, perhaps even a Godfather).

 

Players interested in Business - I expect this to be the bread and butter of our conglomerate. Business owners can expect to receive startup loans with little to no interest rates through our investment support system, the advantages provided from receiving discounted materials and services from other businesses within our conglomerate, and the security of our private military and gang affiliation if / when need be. Players who wish to be a business owner within our conglomerate will be thoroughly interviewed by myself and fellow advisers so that we may determine where and how to place the best leaders (We don't want corrupt business owners or people who can't keep their employees) This will help to ensure that The Neighborhood profits from it, the business thrives, and the jobs provided / salaries are of exceptional quality particularly for members of our organization.  I want to have 1 possibly no more than 2 large companies in one area of expertise at a time that we can focus our efforts and resources to so that our companies don't end up rivaling themselves in terms of profit. We want to build and manage the "Go To" companies as it were. This would apply to such things as Transport companies, banks, farms, casinos, clothing stores. So getting in line early to be the company we endorse would be beneficial to you. Other companies such as trucking companies or mining companies we could afford to have more of as those are general production and revenue streams that don't necessarily need to worry about rivals as the discounts and profits can be shared by all.

Equally important to us as business owners, are the employees. Perhaps you just want to lead a casual life with good pay minus the hassle of running a company yourself, even if undecided - our conglomerate will potentially be able to offer a large variety of jobs for you to work at exceptionally higher pay rates and advantages than you can expect almost anywhere else.

 

How will Politics work? - Do you want to be a Governor? Perhaps a judge, or a conglomerate Lawyer? Our massive engine will allow us the numbers to appoint the appropriate people into these positions. You can expect this position to earn an extra "clan salary" on top of its job pay. Job functions will include things such as forming and passing laws that benefit The Neighborhood (which will also benefit the majority), giving leniency to players in our organization as well as condemning rivals and keeping our players out of jail whenever possible. This may sound sort of, uhh.. Corrupt-ish, but outside of the advantages you receive from our business discounts, extra salary, and our numbers provided to appoint you - It's just kind of the way of the world.  We will definitely take care of our loyal Politicians. 

 

How will the Mafia work? - Frank is the leader of The Luprano Family -  The Neighborhood will act as a safe haven for his gang and allow them to operate cheaply and safely on our (very efficient / high traffic) store fronts. Gangs can expect to benefit from our business discounts as well as operate under our safety net of paid off politicians and policemen as well as aid in the riddance of rival gangs for total dominance. Together we will ensure that they are the largest mafia, and we are the largest business force that they themselves also have a vested interest in.

Private Military - What is a small town without it's own small Army? I'm not entirely sure how this role will function yet, but you can expect this position to be an extra salary on top of your current job and current clan role. Members of our private military will receive priority access to cheap weapons, and any combat gear / training provided in the game to form a stronger military. They will function as our protection blanket to protect our businesses if / when need be and fend off rival gangs etc. As the President of the conglomerate I will be in charge of running the military and it's funding. 

On the left we have the money makers and on the right we have the money costers, separated by a large X in the middle. Ideally the profit margin is so large on the makes money side, that the costs money side pays for itself through investments. The hierarchy for each segment is broken down above. Each member of our organization will represent at least one of these segments. Each segment will have it's own separate treasury operated by the Directors of that segment. They will be known as the advisers, who will gather once a week or so to discuss their treasuries and next lucrative business deals / investments.. If all 4 of these segments are investing in the same things, it will expedite the production of our businesses and accelerate their rate of earning income. All treasury invested money will return to the treasury for that segment to either invest in the next business deal - or invest in their particular segment as seen fit by the directors. Members will contribute to their segment through a (yet to be determined) tax % sort of thing. The taxes will come from investments, basically the opportunity to invest in a company that's guaranteed to succeed. For example - If you're a member of the Mafia and you contribute 5% towards the investment of our new startup building, you as a player will receive 4% of that income and the segment you work in (Mafia) will receive 1% of that into their treasury. If you're a business owner or employee and invest 5% into a new drug trade the Mafia wants to take on, you will receive 4% of the profits and the Business segment will receive 1% of what you invested as profit. If 3 members invest 5% from a segment, that segment will receive 1% 3 times. Over time players and segments will be accruing profit from not only their companies, but the success of many others. Segment treasuries can be used to fund things like the remaining % of investment required to start up our next company, the combined funding of wars if needed, the self improvement of their business, or even just sit on it for a rainy day. 

The functionality of the mafia and politicians will ideally work in a scenario where the cost of their services is replaced by the amount of advantages received through cooperating and investing with us. If the Mafia maintains 25% worth of investments in our companies, then our companies success will also hinder on their ability to protect it and drive out competition. In the same respect the Mafia will have the security of the largest corporate backers in the game, as well as the ability to open their own businesses under our brand and through our investment support system. The mass production and shipment of drugs early on may be one of the most profitable trades we end up having, and with our help they would surely be on top of it faster than anyone else. Politicians will simply be paid for what they can accomplish, most of this branch will consist of investors - Since our industry will be large, creating and passing laws that benefit us is by happen-stance also beneficial to the majority of players in our server since we will control the majority. Politicians will receive access to our campaign support, ability to invest in our profitable trade market, ability to start up their own companies within it etc..

The best explanation I can give is to think of it as the biggest HOA community in town, except on a larger scale. It's a conglomerate of multiple large companies working together and providing the advantages that each one has to offer such as discounts, efficient trade, large pool of combined resources while also providing the cooperation of politicians and security of private military and possibly even gang turf. At the start we will want 1 company of a different NECESSARY profitable trade (1 farm, 1 mine, 1 casino, 1 trucking company so on and so forth) so that we may build them up to be the biggest game in town as well as shut down opposing factions if / when need be, just through sheer numbers and a proper support system.  If you feel like The Neighborhood is a proper fit for you, please apply via a private message or in the thread below after filling out these few questions.

Nice work/ Ideas!

[Honeybadger 41]

Thanks! I'm pretty excited for this game, it reminds me of the browser game Torn City that I played for a few years, except with graphics and more content and the such. I'm bringing a few buddies from there as well as some competitive friends I've played with over the years. So we've already got a rough idea of what we want to do, this is just what I was able to type up at work today. Hopefully other players will like the idea and help us grow even more!

Sounds well-formulated.  Just need the numbers to hit the ground running.  I'm in.  I'll PM you the app.

I'm checking-in here as a new member of The Neighborhood.
I invite you to consider joining us!

[Frank 251]

My family and I are looking forward to our partnership with the conglomerate. We are gonna be looking after the neighborhood, and we will straighten out the troublemakers.

[JoelKeys 412]

I don't plan on joining anything like this. I want to be as law abiding as possible and earn my way to the top of the fashion industry. What I prefer to do with things like this is make friends with the leaders. This way, I am not officially affiliated with your group, but I can provide favours and receive them in return. So what do you say Honeybadger; you up for a drink sometime? It's on me.

I have a few questions about the things you have stated

On 1/4/2017 at 5:34 PM, Honeybadger said:

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.

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.

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.

Very great questions, most of this I explain with people on an individual basis with similar concerns about the organization. I do have a good understanding for how the organization will function but I'm trying to make pretty pictures and the such and it's taken a little bit of time - hopefully in the next day or two. Advisers will consist of the director for each division - Mining director, 1-2 other business owners, 1-2 political figures, Godfather, myself ; and whoever else we determine to be a respectable opinion. These people are likely already leaders in their own respects and will know how to manage and direct their own companies - as a group we will come together and determine what the best decisions for everyone would be at that time by looking at the big picture from every angle, business, politics, gang activity and so on in a manner that benefits everyone. 

"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."

Replace loan with the word investment, because that's essentially what it is. Lets say that we decide mining will be the most profitable investment to capitalize on as the very first business in the game. If we build up our mine first we will all substantially profit from it - if that's something we decide we can guarantee then we would not only have the mine and its employees willing to invest towards it - but also players from politics - players from the mafia etc. Because as a large entity we can guarantee the swift production of such business and capitalize on the market early, even 20 people's 5% investment to startup costs would earn them a lot of money. Then we do the same thing with our second business, 3rd business and so on. It won't all click together at first as you say, and that's why hand selecting our affiliations and leaders is of great importance - for those who can see the big picture and continue to work together when you have 5% invested into 6 companies that we've accelerated the growth and production of as a group then you will surely start to see a large flow of income. If The Neighborhood chooses to promote a business, it will be the best of its kind - not only guaranteeing it's success and profitability but also the encouragement of multiple investors so that we can get businesses up bigger and faster for expansion purposes. A bank would still be of great importance to our community, and it would be the only bank all of our businesses and mafia members etc will use - So it will be guaranteed to be the best bank because it has the best business - see what I mean? Not to mention the security of all the wealthiest and most powerful people. Ideally we wouldn't need a bank for loans, however this doesn't mean that outside organizations and players won't want to get a loan at the most reputable bank. 

"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."

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

As I explained above money will come from investments that we can guarantee. Most companies will get their startup money from what they collect early on doing odd-jobs, perhaps even a few of their employees will contribute to the startup costs. But how much do you think this will be exactly? 100k or more to start up a business? Let's say that takes the average player about 2-3 months to accomplish (I want to reiterate this is hard to explain to an accurate extent especially tax %'s and numbers because we don't have all of the information, but this is a rough idea) well, as a collective group we will have over 100 members, of which I'm sure we can find 20 of to invest in our first business getting it off the ground in maybe a couple weeks - capitalizing on the market much sooner than any other companies and accelerating the rate of return profits. Everyone will want to invest in everything we do, perhaps even at the cost of not getting their business up first because of how much profit they will make overtime investing in multiple different startups that we plan on controlling. Mafia will want to invest in business, business will want to invest in mafia drug trade - everyone will take a % of income from where they want to take a % of income and everyone's best interests will be the security of each other - hopefully eliminating any thoughts for backstabbers or people who want to defy the neighborhood from within. The mafia could try to overwhelm us and seize control, but would they really want to when they're profiting so much and surrounded by the advantages of all the biggest business? 

The Governor who creates laws beneficial to the businessmen is not necessarily betraying the people, since ideally WE would be the majority its perfectly reasonable to create laws for the mass. Having someone that we support, and who supports our ideals - will naturally make our environment flourish more. Yes it is a lot of power to control, but its necessary power - going against it is simply not a favorable idea, and working with it only includes advantages. 

I will try to touch some more on these details a little later. I'm working on revamping the entire post to better explain some of these things since we've acquired a lot of great affiliations recently.

 

[Frank 251]

Nice update to the post.

[uncannierlink 225]

Ah. This clarifies a lot. Essentially you want to create a massive equity sharing organization. I don't see a problem with this.
