Introduction
Hello and welcome to the Wintreath Exchange! This is sort of localised, or regionalised, Global Economics and Trade page, found on the NS forum (link above). Here we can trade services or objects; a fairly roleplay, or RP, environment. However, one of the main reasons I wanted an exchange was that the NS forum was a bit too, how should I put it, formal? Yeah, formal. I think Wintreath's exchange could be casual yet 'good' at the same time. This means that die-hard RPers and casual one-timers could gather and play. I think that embodies Wintreath very well!
How It Works
Okay, this is the challenging bit, how would this actually work? In the NS version, they have something called storefronts, a place where you showoff your wares; a storefront. This is an excellent idea as it gives the customer a place to look at the object with its specifics, like real life. I think we might be able to have new topics as storefronts, each forum member would have one, just one. They would be able to show information about them, the services and products they offer, and the price. Then, hopefully, discussions would take place on the storefront itself. To add new products, simply edit your first storefront post. This makes sure that that is on the front page.
To buy an object, the customer could reply and say:
Kingdom of Exampleistan
We would like to buy 50 Example S-2-X guns for the use of our Navy. How much would it cost?
Martin Exampleoz
Minister of Examplez
The currency we use is the Universal Standard Dollar (US$) and NationStates Dollar (NS$). They both have the same value and are tied to the real US$.
Requirements and Requirements
To participate in this, you must meet the requirements (or you'll end up like Greece
).
They are the following:
- Must have at least one nation in Wintreath.
- Must be a member of this forum.
- Must have a GDP of 10 billion or above (like to calculator below)
- Must not be engaging in any sort of warfare.
- Must respect all sovereign nations, their people and their customs.
- Must respect the interests of Wintreath and her monarch, His Majesty Wintermoot I.
What Next
Now, being a perfectionist and a devout RPer, I would toil over my storefront, sometimes hours on end! I would make a logo for each company, an paragraph on why the product is, the price and the specific and maybe add pictures. You could do that our you could go the lazy way and write "Cows for sale." Not exciting is it? You could do that but you won't pull in the masses. Anyway, that is what I think. What about you?
