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.

Congrats, you now have your first potential employee to fill up that big hospital! All he has to do is just show up and agree with you (Which i'm assuming he should) And there you have it, hes all yours.


Well, it's offical. You now have no prison gangs inside your facility. Way to rule your compound with an iron fist, and keeping everything under control. Now perhaps you could review some of your prisoner's behavior.. and possibly make some money off of parole?

Very well, I shall review their behavior. Anyone who was once in a gang will not get a chance for parole this time around, however.

A few of your guards transport 3 puny-looking prisoners into your office. They then stand beside you for increased security measures. How are you going to do this?

One of the guards nudge the prisoner, and he steps forward, "O-Oh.. I'm here because.. I had supposedly ran over two children while under the influence of meth." The guy then steps back, and the guard starts to speak, "I have his rehabilitation records if you would like to see them."
