I was thinking about when some of the new items came into Res. The really exspensive ones...some people work alot for enough to buy a dye kit. That's alot of Tu out of user circulation. Sure, people can buy them from other users who have bought them, and sell them for more. Still, someone puts alot of Tu into NCP user shops to begin with, and only makes so much profit. This makes it hard for ranchers to sell pets at a good price, instead of undermining their value.
So, that got me into thinking...what if it were possible to own an NPC Shop Deed? I mean, the owners need a vacation too right?
It would be as if you actually owned the shop, and recieved, let say, 50% of all the Tu made for that shop for example. Wouldn't that put more Tu into circulation besides the raffle, getting lucky with sales and stocks? Waiting for stocks takes awhile sometimes.
Of course, to make it fair, the deeds would cost some Tu, and you wouldn't own it forever, only for about a week or two. Naturally, the more popular shops would be more, such as the Black Market for instance, and may not recieve 50% of its Tu, maybe only 25%. After the time you owned that particular deed, it'd be returned to the site for someone else to have a shot at buying it. You'd be able to try for that shop again. Different shops could have varying times and percentages. (I don't think Cain will let you run own the Black Market for too long.)
So, it's a slightly refined idea I had. C&CC please.
