Hello to everyone reading this suggestion. I started taking an interest in the MOC and noticed that they don’t have enough tasks. So I came up with my idea on how to refresh this part of the authority as well as slightly adjust the shop operation system. Of course, I invite you to discuss it.
As everyone knows, the main and practically only task of an MOC worker for most of their working time is overseeing shops to prevent illegal activities, which doesn’t really provide many new interesting interactions. That’s why I believe that this job, due to its role in the city, should oversee everything from setting up shops to managing tax costs. However, I also suggest creating a new position within the MOC hierarchy—“Office Worker”—who would report to the Section Manager. Now, let me explain everything from the very bottom, starting with what shops are, all the way to the top.
After purchasing a shop through an external terminal and selecting the necessary permits, the future owner, to legally operate the store, must contact an “Office Worker” to create a shop profile and a business owner profile. After an initial discussion with the Office Worker about applying for permission to start operations, documents containing the owner's and business details are passed on to the Section Manager (to whom the Office Worker is assigned). After approving the request, the Section Manager will meet with the owner to hand over a shop owner’s card containing their personal information, as well as a copy of the business registration documents. During this meeting, they will also be informed about legal regulations, including restrictions on hiring a certain number of employees depending on the owner's status and the shop's location. Moving forward, the Office Worker must record the owner and their shop details in the MOC office computer system. From this moment, the owner has the right to hire any person with a loyalty level of 1 or higher, up to the employment limit. At the same time, they must inform the new employee to contact the MOC to create an employee profile.
As part of their work, the MOC will continue to oversee product sales and store operations. The Section Manager, along with the Office Worker and at least one officer (or more), will visit one of the monitored shops to inspect its goods or operations. During the first phase, the Section Manager or their subordinate, the Office Worker, will ensure that the shop meets all requirements regarding product quantity, quality, and even store appearance. Additionally, an operational inspection may occur, during which, without the seller’s knowledge, the Section Manager or their assigned Office Worker will observe the shop’s regular function and the employee's behavior. They will then compile a report on the worker's performance and the shop itself. If the shop fails any of these inspections, a financial penalty will be issued, and the information will be recorded in the employee’s file.
Further MOC responsibilities will include monitoring taxes and even product costs in cases where there is a risk of shortages of specific goods or a declining city budget. This would create more opportunities for political RP (because who doesn’t want to manipulate society with food shortages?) as well as interactions for regular players. Section Managers and the head of the MOC would be forced to make serious decisions to calm crowds demanding lower product prices. Of course, we can’t forget about our beloved CWU, as they are the main producers of these goods. Any decisions regarding the quantity of food (or other items) supplied to the market must be coordinated with CWU to maintain a balance between costs and availability.
That’s all I have to present for now. Many things could be added, but at the same time, many could be removed. Given the current state of the MOC, this could work, but it would still need some fine-tuning, and I don’t feel like spending an entire day on it. I also know that if prices were to change, the beautiful shop menus would lose their value, but prices wouldn’t have to change constantly—once every two weeks or even less frequently would be enough.
