Now this is just me. I have no power to control this so do what ever the fuck you guys want! I just think it might be good to set out some basic rules or ideas to streem line this process!
1. So.... we have a shortage of tech sellers. We need to start sending messages in game to smaller members to encourage them to start dealing.
2. The set price for 50 tech should be approximately $1.25M - $1.5M. Hopefully closer to the $1.4-$1.5 marker. This is the best price because it gives almost 50% profit to the smaller nation and allows the larger nation to enter for 100 tech per slot.
3. The middle man price should be approximatly 200K-250K. Although I do see why nations do not like this position as much because for the slots used the money gained is less... So that is why I would like to add 20 tech to this amount to sweeten the deal and allow the MM to do his own deals after a few MM jobs and earn $1.5M profit. It is good for training smaller nations though and does carry much less risk for the smaller nations when doing the tech deals, if it is a small nation just learning the the apprenticship wage should be 200K per slot.
4. I would like to start up a tech deal apprenticeship program, where a small nation can learn the ropes of tech dealing and of the game in general through a mentor. The mentor gives aid and tells the apprentice how the game works, in return the apprentice does MM work and tech deals for the mentor.
Lets see if we cant reform this program to streghten up our alliance again!!!
