IF YOU ARE NOT INTO COMPLEX RP'S PLEASE FIND ANOTHER RPG, THANK YOU ^_^ Also, I know its a long introduction, but please just read it all, thank you.

Mmmkay, so, this is my first RPG, but its more of a Text sim, which I haven't seen yet on Armorgames forums yet! So... heres my first shot.

All right, so first you choose your businesses.1 person each business,except for the factories and farms, factories can have a max of 4, farms can have up to 3 people, sorry! These will all start out as a basic business, not a high up, nice, luxury powerhouse. I will explain this later. You can also buy another business of any category that could help your other businesses in any way, or just another way to keep up with expenses of businesses, with another business in need.


Expenses

you have to pay expenses (employee wages, Business bills, random acts I will post for your businesses, Promotions, Etc.) In order for your Business to suceed, or to become a major flop.

Employee Management

You also will have to train your employees by what your business's standards are. I mean, you want good quality products for the citizens right? I will also be giving a small resume for when 'eople' Apply for your business. If you like what I give you, then accept. If not, then you will be one person shorter, and will have to put up with more work. Another thing about employees: If you do have employees that seem to have a bad rep, they may react in how I describe their personalites, and it may not help your business out well. It also could skyrocket income, publicity, or productivity of your business too. So choose wisely! Also, the resume will include their schooling (Ex. High School Diploma, College Diploma: 1 year, 2 year, 3 etc.) So whatever your business needs for handling, its all up to you.

Attitude towards NPC's/Interaction

Your actions with people that you socialize with in-game (Mainly NPC customers, contractors, or suppliers) will have an effect by what happens also.

Your equipment in your business will also differ. Low cost appliances and objects will mean it will always need maitenance, or may not even function properly. High costing equipment will run smoothly and raise productivity highly.

Expanding of your business

Your business starts out as a small 'Hole in the wall' As many people call it. Its up to you to clean it up at the start to be able to even run it and have it functioning. Later on, you can purchase a construction crew, or if you have enough employees, to help you renovate the area to where the Amount of equipment you can have in your work space can increase, give you a working quarters (because you need some private space to manage your ever so great business... right?). But don't expect to gain income while you are renovating, because people are surely not going to come to sit down and eat, or work at your business with the pretty much dangerous setting, So you may want to have quite a bit saved up for that too.


Businesses
------------------------------------------------------------
1. Bakeries $50,000 for purchase, start off with bread as basic recipe, and one baker, (you) $30,000 loan to pay off in 1 game year, and a basic oven. No decorations or foliage.

2. Restauraunt $100,000 to purchase, Price varies on building one. (Choose either: Asian: Starts off with Chicken with fried rice as main course, Broth soup and salad as appetizer, hot tea and soft drinks for drinks, 1 employee (you), $30,000 Loan to pay off in 1 Game year, Seating for 25 people, and a basic Hibachi Grill. No decorations or foliage.

Steakhouse $100,000 to purchase: Steak as main course, Yeast rolls or salad for appetizer, soft drinks for beverages, 1 Employee (you), $30,000 loan to pay off in one game year, Seating for 30 people, and a basic grill. No decorations or foliage.

Seafood only$100,000 to purchase: Choose any type of large fish, too many to post in one post, as your main course, A skewer of 5 grilled shrimp and bread as your appetizer, soft drinks for beverages, 1 employee (you), a basic grill, and a $30,000 loan to pay off in 1 game year, No decorations or foliage.

3. Pizza Parlor $75,000 to purchase Basic cheese pizza as main course, no dessert, Soft drinks as beverage, Basic grill, A basic pizza heater (to preserve the pizza until the customer gets there), No decor or foliage, 1 Employee (you), and a $30,000 Loan to pay off in 1 game year.

4. Factory/Plant $450,000 to purchase

A. Food Processing Plant:

This is where the farmers send their slaughtered livestock, vegetables, fruit, and other edible products. Their job is to sterilize the food to make it edible and up to standards, package the food, and ship it off to the restauraunts, bakeries, and the prison, to make great meals that the citizens can enjoy.

Begins with 8 Employees (including you), 1 slow conveyor belt, 1 packaging machine, 1 truck, and 1 sterilizer, and one storage room, capable to hold 1000 units of packaging. There is a $350,000 Loan that is due in 2 1/2 game years.


B. Metal construction factory, $450,000 to purchase

This Factory is the most dangerous, but can be the most important at times in construction, supplying everyone with metal beams, nails, screws, and other shiny objects! This business creates its own products, unlike the food processing plant, but you will need to purchase some type of minerals from someone... won't you?

You start off with 9 employees (including you), 5 sets of welding equipment, 1 slow conveyor belt, 10,000 units of steel, and two storerooms (one for finished products, the other for raw minerals) Product Storage: 1000 units, Raw material storage: 50,000 units.

5. Farms $10,000 to purchase

These are well... the base of civilization. They create food: Vegetables, Fruit, Animals, and Wheat can all become grown here, and sold off to the other business for profit.

You start off with 1 Employee (you), 200 acres of land, 3 small stables to keep your animals in securely, a hoe (the tool), a shovel, a rake,50 seed packets of tomatoes, 25 packets of corn, 20 packets of corn,10 packets of squash, and your house. You have a $3,00 loan for animals that needs to be paid off in 1 game year.

6. a Prison Only 1 prison in game

It may not seem like a business, but being the warden of a prison is a massive job to take responsibilty of. You must control the whole prison with an iron fist, or the government will put you in one of your own jail cells themselves. So... no worries?

You start off with 50 employees (you, 29 guards, 10 accountants, 5 cafeteria workers, 5 rehabilitation profesionalls),70 Basic single bed jail cells, 10 low-security prisoners (the higher risk, the more paid on release.), No recreation centers, 5 rehabilitation facilities, 1 small visitation room seating 10 prisoners, 29 sets of riot equipment, 49 staff quarters with only a bed.

DAMMIT!!!! -_-' Sorry, I didnt place the loan -_-

You open up the doors to your crummy, but functional factory, your employees shuffle through behind you, heading to their work stations. 5 of the employees place their welding helmets on, following their fireproof apron and gloves, and head over to the storage room full of steel, piled up in one heap, "wow... what a great start for a business like this!" They look over towards you, the leader of this starting off business, "Uhm.. sir... what do you want us to build..?"

Nails= 12 units of steel for 20 of product

Steel beams= 200 units of steel per 1 product

Steel plating= 900 units of steel per 2 of product

These are your basic things you can construct, or weld, with your equipment at hand. Your other 3 employees man the conveyor belt, patiently waiting for your welders to finish construction and load them onto the shipping truck.

You run into your new factory on its first day, soaked from the outside rain, and also your employees, "Ugh.. I hope the weather isn't always like this," you exclaim. And patiently send your employees to do what they are getting paid for, but then realize you have no food to package!! Suddenly, Your phone starts buzzing with a small violin as the ringtone. What do you do?

You proudly exclaim, "Nails, they should be a great start in supplying hardware stores!" They then cheer, but it then starts to die down,"Ok sir, but how many would you like us to make?"

Food items: 10 units of chicken, 1 bundle (unit) of broccoli, 1 bundle of corn, and a sack of flour.

You quickly slide your phone out of your pocket and click the answer putton, "Hello?" you say plainly as you put the phone up to your mouth. "Hello? Yes, I heard that you owned a local food processing plant?" He says in a small country accent. "Why, yes I do, how may I help you today sir?" "Yeah, I tried selling this here stuffs down at the grocery store, but they said I needed it prawcessed, whatever dat meant." You then smile, seizing this as a great oppurtunity, and tell him to come on over at your plant's location. He then hands you the sacks of his food he was going to sell, and then gives you $450 dollars also, "thank you man, i'll be over here later in the afternoon to pick it up." You then head back into your plant. what do you do?

(you'll see why I haven't given you any cash )

You sit in your nice leather chair inside your office, being the new warden of the state prison, and quietly stare at the great wall of security monitors. They each access to the cafeteria, a small and uncomfortable hellhole. The prisoner's cells, the guard's quarters and towers, the rehab centers, and the entrance/exits. Your laptop flashes a email symbol, and your stroll your chair over to find out about it. you click on the new email and it is from the government.

To whom it may concern,

The government is issued orders to new prisons, such as yours, to become a place for prisoners to cool down, and also forget about the drugs and alchohol and gangs in the outside world of your prison walls. in the attachment linked, it contains your years budget. These need to be set forward to looking at improvements of all facilites in your prison. There also needs to have some sort of recreation, so your prisoners can have at least one type of 'reward' for maintaining rules.

Sincerely,

The US Government.



You then realize that if you don't complete this task, you could be in some serious trouble. you now have a small guideline of what you should do this year. So, what will you do?

Hmm...here are some basic blueprints for my plans here.

Step 1: Build a recreation center. It'll only be available to prisoners who have not misbehaved in the last week.
Step 2: Hire more cafeteria workers, so that they can have better food. However, this improved food will again, only be available to well behaved prisoners.
Step 3: Beef up security. With these new things, it's inevitable that prisoners will try to abuse them to escape, this way it can be prevented.

You now call in one of the government employed Construction workers, "You, to build this place a recreation center... how much would that be around?" He then slides out a calculator, and begins punching in buttons. He then returns back to your conversation, "Hmm.... I shouldn't be much.. around $350,000". You then think quietly to yourself, then burst out, "Fine! I shall do it!"

The contractor then calls in his company of around 50 workers, and start momentarily.

You then head over to the cafeteria when the prisoners are in their cells, and speak with its manager... How do you wanna have this talk?

A) Calm and nice
B) Angrily, and with brusque behavior
