Can you maintain Ponyville's market without letting everything go to ruins? Probably. Here's what you need to know to start: Everyone who posts makes a decision about what Ponyville should build in order to stay afloat. You can only build one thing though and you must have enough credits to do so. Ponyville starts with 10 credits. Ponyville also has a few resources at it's hooves. Namely Population, Commerce, Morale, and Defense. Population increases Commerce by 1, and Commerce is the number of Credits Ponyville gains every ten posts (I'll try to keep track). Morale needs to be high too (Above 0) or else the population will stop working, thus halting Credits. Defense is important too because every 10 turns, there is a 1/6 chance (Random.org) that Equestria will have a small battle. These battles take up 3 Defense and 1 Population each. Every post spends 1 Morale. If Population reaches 0 Ponyville's Commerce is halted (You gain no credits) Starting resources are 2 Commerce, 2 Population, 20 Morale and 6 Defense. (+4 Credits) You can build homes, which cost 1 Credit for a small sector. These provide homes for the residents. +1 Population You can build Barracks, for 2 Credits. These provide +1 Defense per 5 posts You can build a Circus, for 3 Credits. These provide +2 Morale per 5 posts Or you can build a Market, for 4 Credits. These provide +3 Credits per 5 posts Ponyville "loses" when either Defense reaches a negative number, or when Commerce and Morale are 0. You can only post once a round (5 turns, after I post the status report), or every day (which ever is sooner). I know this is complicated, so if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask. I've looked over this several times to check for errors, and I see none currently. The goal is essentially to post something like " Ponyville buys 1 Market " or something, and feel free to explain your reasoning. Remember you can not purchase two or more things in one turn. Have fun!
Complicated forum games tend to be quite unpopular. That said, I'll give it a go. -Ponyville builds one house, because you can't sustain a town if there's nowhere to live.
Alright! (And I quite know that they tend to be unpopular. If we really get very little posts then as I said you and I and whoever else will change the rules to suit that! =D ) Ponyville builds 1 Market
