Trade Broker Company [ALPHA: OFFLINE]
Posted: Mon Aug 17, 2015 7:39 pmHowdy Salemites,
ALPHA READY
STATUS: OFFLINE
Click spoiler to acces the app. First test was done thanks to Vexus.
The Trade Broker Company
Idea
It would an player institution that will mediate trade between major traders (buy from one town and sell to the another) on the large scale. Obviously it will have its own silver to make it possible.
The point is to change one-to-many transactions to one-to-one transaction with trade broker who is always "online".
To City Mayors
Dear Mr Mayor! I could use a storage space in your city in exchange for a fast access to goods, selling & buying opportunities and silver.
Also if you have some citizen that wants to be with me in that business that would make a things much easier.
Implementation
The idea would be implemented using web application. The app will allow for placing sell & buy offers, simply by clicking good's type, amount & price.
When the offer would be realized the trade broker would change the trader stockpile.
We will use trading algorithm that matches the sell offers to the given buy offers till the buy offer is fullfilled.
Each trader using the system will have its own stockpile of goods, the info about it would be written into app database. The trader can request delivery of his goods from his stockpile to his claim, whenever he wants.
The system will allow for speculation (buying and selling of goods from one's stockpile without actual delivery).
Trade would be anonymous. Your will just place offers and issue the delivery action.
There would be forum link to app, you will be informed about realization of your offer (time of delivery etc) via forum PM (the app bot will send you PM).
For people who sell goods, in case they will want to sell more than they have in stockpile (i.e they never bought anything and they are just selling) we would take precautions in case they don't realize their part of deal (giving goods to trade broker).
This is system is meant handle the flow of goods that have balanced supply/demand ratio and are reasonably fluid - like glass panels, leather, iron etc. At least we would start with that goods.
For super extra rare items costing 10000s per item, you should still use forum.
Offers Matching
Simple as hell: whenever there is an offer that matches your maximal/minimal price, we buy/sell goods in your name and put them in your stockpile.
You have an access to real-time price data so you can set the reasonable price.
Advantages
Beyond the obvious advantages, like more secure, smooth and easier trade (and with one subject) the clients (and only them) will have an access to online supply demand charts and price charts generated using the information from realized offers.
How to join:
We will provide trade licenses (in-game items) that will have username & password to the web application.
The trade license would be totally free for towns that are eager to give us storage house (we can pay for rented space, we would like to make one of your citizens your representative and our partner).
It will cost some amount of silver (depends on player choice 100s-5000s) which would be added to the trader's stockpile at start.
To be clear you WONT LOSE this silver it wil be used to realize your trade offers. The trader can later resupply his account with silver in-game (just contact the trade broker) or just pay with each realized transaction.
Profit Generation
This could interest partners.
For each transaction some small percent of its value would be given to trade broker, + % of the traders paid-in capital will cover some administration costs.
RECRUITMENT: HOW TO HELP
I'm looking for following people:
Progress
In Overall (to beta): |+++++++---| 7/10
Features atm:
Then I can start bugfixing etc.
Comments responses (only relevant ones)
Take a look If you don't wan't to read whole thread.
Regards,
Pietrko
