Rebuilding the iConomy!
Quote from LavaQBall on 2011/04/20, 06:06As a dedicated member to our community and having remembered when we asked to have the iConomy (or similar) mod installed, I would like to start things off in an effort to repair the current 'uncs' iConomy before we get bought out by foreign traders and have to convert all of our 'uncs' to 'osfs' or 'binks'. ;-D
To do this, I'm setting up my shop (currently Shop 3) to buy and sell a load of items. This will use my current unc balance as a buffer to allow people to sell things to the shop before anything is purchased. I've added a number of things, and plan to add more in the future. This will require very little upkeep from me, and I don't have to be online for people to use it, so feel free to trade anytime! I will do my best to renew my shop rental as soon as possible after it retires.
I may update the prices if there is significant reason, but I think I've got things to a reasonable priceline. This should help people use the extra items they've gathered and help reduce the unnecessary wait for items you haven't run across yet.
Some examples:
[/shop list buy 3] Shows the shop's third page of items to buy.
[/shop list sell 2] Show's the shop's second page of items you can sell, up to a maximum.
[/shop sell Llama 10] This will sell 10 Llamas to the shop at the listed price.
[/shop buy Llama 1] This will buy 1 Llama from the shop at the listed price.** Items actual name was changed to protect the innocent.
*** Llamas are never innocent.
**** No Llamas were harmed in the making of this blog post.
***** But they should have been.

Quote from Albertpuding on 2011/04/20, 20:11Lol, very funny. I thought this was a good idea when you told me in-game, and I have been working on setting up my own shop, also to help repair the economy. It will be up and running soon, and I encourage others to try and get the economy back into shape!

Well Mr. Charity...So, he either wants a communism where every price is selected by the government, or an anarchy, where the free-market truly rules. Okay... so... I'll play the part of "The Man" and set the prices how I see fit... or people can challenge my authority and start their own shops or trade privately without any thought of taxes!
Anyhow... I have a ton of stuff for sale or listed to buy so that people can effectively trade through my shop. I offer Arrows and YellowWool and a bunch of things in between, including wood, charcoal, coal, redstone, lapis lazuli, and much more!

Anyhow, you can take the military, I'll lead the miners! ;-)
