What do you think would make businesses on the server better?

By having goods be created and delivered by CWU it would let the workers come up with better events, let citizens actually do something instead of ./me does as instruction says and let em develop skills in one of the RPG categories.
It would also let more rebellious citizens try to sneak out certain materials or objects where CPs searches would actually mean something beacuse so far? They only work when somebody forgets to put away their contraband in a locker.
 
In an ideal world CWU would supply stock upon order and your demand would meet your stock requirements. However, we are in HL2RP where CWU activity is dogshit. Therefor, a similar system that's in place now is ideal, but with the freedom to do what you'd like and negotiate licenses is important. That's what matters, I mean every store under DOB can sell everything. Whereas, shop areas would create a lot of smaller profit in quick succession, hardware stores would make a lot of profit over long term due to the expense of stock. Freedom is a big part of it.

The city needs an economy, the constant 'asspulling' of goods is a detriment to whatever economy remains and doesn't provide much in the means of roleplay either.

Imports, stock, stores have stock, buy more stock

Sadly it does not, i'll put it simply. The moment the people supplying you get bored of the server and stop playing those characters. you're not gonna have supply anymore. Which is entirely why the barter menu exists. And its not actual shipments.

I was thinking of something similar. Representative display shelves that you can go up to, mouse over the product and see what price they cost. And either you take one, it charges you, or you just use it to view the price and go buy it at the front counter
 
The Probable (low brain):
*Remove vending machines to get more business,
*Hire more people once more funds are obtained


The Improbable (but high-IQ):
!Have CWU absorb DOB because DOB as a concept is bad and CWU is more active in its duty. Use the absorbed members to call more workcycles so civies get more money. So stores can get more money. (not really destroy the DOB but just make them more viable/useful)

!Hold workshifts to manufacture products that businesses need. Keep a listed record of CWU-DOB business shipments so that foremen know what needs made (this can be done VIA a google sheet or something; fuck even a google doc)
Through this proposed DOB-CWU chimera we know what needs manufacturing priority - popular items first, least popular items last. We don't need scripts for this - it makes more workshift opportunities so staff isn't giving PET flags just so CWU can have a shitty furniture unpacking shift. Instead making them useful ICly and OOCly beyond a forced method of making sure players don't starve.

!With more product manufactured, lower prices on these popular items. The best way to help business is to boost consumerism - only argument against this principle is "bruh my malnourished-RP bruh the Combine would never allow anybody off rations bruh" (which brings me to my next point)

!!!*Give CPs the ability to suspend all business whenever they want. Raid any business they want; and if one business is busted, all of them can be busted and put on suspension (like a wiseman said: "first the building, then the whole block")

The Impossible (enlightened)
*(a stretch cuz c24 sucks doggy doodoo and Atle can suck my coo(c)k) Have enough space on your map to allow for heavy freight shipments between stores and DOB. As well as space businesses so /me's aren't bleeding over each other. Give businesses hidden compartments or rooms like old hl2rp had because fuck you, those things were great and added suspense.

A shitty hidden chamber leading to a sewer exit for actual rp than have a metric fuck ton of file cabinets hidden around the slums. Then BusinessRP can begin becoming shady and fun.

More DoB employees should be able to approve/sort out stall businesses. Right now if I want to finally go ahead and get my stall with Roy, I have to camp in the plaza and wait for either O'Hair or Grodno to show up and make a beeline for them before they get busy with something else, but no body wants to be a bother.
If I could get my permits from the directors, and then arrange the placement of the stall with any other manager whenever I want it would be ideal, imo.

As a former storeowner during the CWU Business era. You’re going to be the same one complaining when you can’t get ahold of a CWU Manager, because they’re “Busy IC” for one reason or another.

Yeah this is back when I saw more CWU active than DOB
Nowadays I'm advocating for free market capitalism instead of CWU
 
We need new and interesting things to buy. New scripts, new products. Once you're all decked out in clothing and you got your tools you want (shaving kits, storages, etc), there isn't anything really desirable to buy besides food. Give us some more luxurious things:

-Tobacco pipes
-Fragrance Bottles
-Hair Gel
-Shoe Shine Kits
-Wallets and Different Storages
-Tooth Brushes
-Soap

Get creative, scripts are easy to make.

Adding onto this, we need more necessities. Things we need for our character. O’Hairs did so well because people can actually have their beard trimmed and need their beard styled/trimmed to suit their char. It’d force more people to buy necessities, therefore bringing more of an active environment in stores, causing them to open more from less boredom.

Who will ensure the owner stays active? Quality checks? Set them up with permits as well as their employees over time? You could say CWU but they have enough going on with them. I need more info on how if the DOB was disbanded then how stores would operate.

ok so basically
you could rp those things

I remember back in the day there when items only existed for like weapons, locks, papers, and things like that, where you'd go to a store and they'd sell rp items
Those were good days

I never recall this happening in CW at all.
