10
Weapons consortium
I was thinking of a business idea, not sure if its been done or not yet. Since we can now see the exact productivity of a worker each day this idea can now work.
A group of 10 people (or smaller to start then build it up) own a Q1 weapons company. You pay 2.5 gold to buy-in as a worker. The .5 gold is an administrative cost for the org.
You will work and be paid in weapons. You will be paid in weapons exactly what you produce. If there is a fraction of a weapon it carries over to the next day.
The costs will be 2 MYR per day to pay your minimum wage salary (basically paying yourself) and the cost of the raw materials that you used to produce your weapons.
This is geared towards people who have gold to support themselves with food and gifts but use weapons everyday basically for war games and would like to get them at cost as opposed to retail.
Think about it. You make a wage, then buy weapons that are marked up or you work for the company and are getting weapons at cost. You can even resell them for a profit.
All for a 2.5 gold start-up cost as well as a daily maintenance cost (RM and your 2 MYR min wage)
Anyone interested please comment below. I am just testing the waters with this right now. I am open to comments, questions and suggestions.

Well, it can be done, it's just quite tiresome with all the donating. Also it makes more sense to finance the daily maintenance costs from selling weapons and just donate out the rest among workers.
Btw the only advantage compared to 10 people starting a weapon company together the normal way where they work for normal wage and buy their products from the market is avoiding the income tax. The disadvantage is that your salary is not in MYR but something that is a lot less convertible.
However versions of this method are quite popular among official and private military units alike.
i newbie here...so hard play this game.
i don't know wat u all say...
gold?
war?
work?
that strees my head!
A few good points and things to consider. As for the disadvantage, the whole reason to be a member is if you will use the daily weapons.
Maybe a good modification would be to pay out the workers's production - costs (RM) up to a certain weapon amount and the remainder in MYR or gold from sold weapons. They are technically shareholders so they should not pay income tax but dividend tax and there is not one of those in eRep yet
Is there an accountant in the house?
First of all, Welcome Budin89!
If you have any questions please message the Minister of Social Affairs and Education: Nouveauk or feel free to message me as well. I'd be happy to help you get going.
There are many good people here in eMalaysia. You will find it very welcoming.

I'm sure some people would want to get nothing but weapons in return for their labors, but I'd want at least half for other things. Overall the idea is excellent though.
i want to join but i still new here so i dont have any gold. Maybe later if i have gold. Btw, its a good idea
Reminds me of the good old days of Asylum World o' Weapons!
This could be interesting, and with some perfection this idea might actually be worth trying. I believe we need 10 citizens to join as stakeholders.
Oh - and I am no accountant by the way.
Good idea.
What about the level of factory ? to me Q1 only.
I join Badlands17, I'd want at least half for other things.
Yes, it will be Q1. There could be an option of selling your guns on the market. If multiple people want to do it the guns will sell in a queue where people wait in line as weapons sell for their to be sold. The price has to be a mutually agreed upon price like Minimum market price +2% or +3% or +10% or lowest market price, whatever is agreed upon from the shareholders.
