* disclaimer: profit =/= profitman u dummies my ego isnt that bigProfitopia is a CityRPG that gives you a more immersive experience. Instead of waiting five minutes for your paycheck to arrive which you only waited for, you must work a few minutes in your local fast food restaurant's kitchen. Then you can take a break on the weekend!
This is being developed primarily by me. If you want to help with anything please PM me
WeaponsThanks to Conan, we have a unique weaponset that were designed after the models that Monty created for Iban's CityRPG v3.
(assume that the shotgun wood color is the same as the rest)
CrimeDemerits have been removed. You can no longer pay to have your wanted status reduced, and don't even think about getting pardoned by your friends. If there are no police officers online, then the max amount of murders you can commit are 5 per 5 minutes, and you cannot rob the bank without police officers online as well.
Being in prison in other CityRPGs is usually just mining until you've served your sentence. In this, you'll have the option to escape prison. If you get caught, you are wanted automatically but you have everything back except for your outfit which is a prison uniform. Snipers will try and shoot you (don't worry, you'll be returned automatically to prison upon death ... in a confined cell), and you have a huge marker over your head indicating your position when a sniper sees you. If you choose to go out with a quiet escape you can dig a hole into the sewers and escape (you'll have your job back). Prisons will have schedules as well to help you time your escapes so you can sneak out of the cafeteria.
MayorEvery week in real life, a new mayoral election will be held. It costs $100 to run for mayor, and you must have a clean record along with a certain level of education (i haven't decided yet). At first, everyone will vote for the people they would like to run, and the person with the most amount of votes is the new mayor. If he/she is killed by someone then that person is no longer mayor. Mayors can set budgets for services such as law enforcement which in this case grants them extra access to certain types of weaponry. They can collect local taxes to help pay for anything they need (mayors can also buy land as well). The mayor is the only person allowed to pardon prisoners but not more than one person per 5 days.
JobsPeople can apply for jobs by going onto the job infobrick in the corresponding building. It doesn't cost money to work for most basic jobs but it does require knowledge for some of them. Job paychecks will happen every 2 weeks (1 day = 5 minutes) and you will get fired if you reach 3 warnings from your job. Warnings will work like this: You have a quota and you must fulfill it per day to maintain your job. If you don't reach it you get one warning. Warnings are reset every month.
Businesses will be implemented but I'll need some thinking about how it should work.
EducationMore info is to be added, but let's say that it isn't your typical numerical education
MoneyMoney is totally different, so it'll have to be explained in multiple paragraphs. For one, you don't have to pay in cash. Some vendors can choose to only accept cash, but other than that, you could use your debit card, which is given to you automatically, or your credit card, which can be maxed out at 10k (if it's maxed out and it isn't paid two months after its due, you get arrested for a few days).
Selling is very simple, if it's food you set the portion size, price, and name of the food you want to sell. As a trade off for no minimum price you must stock the items by right clicking on a sell brick.
People can make their own factories where store owners can buy food from to stock their stores. Additionally, you can sell items and materials and for the former, factories can make guns and on the latter, you can buy those from mining companies or the city.
TimeThe server will run off of a Day/Night cycle. Each day is 5 minutes, so you get your paycheck every 110 minutes (holy stuff that's long).
Black MarketCriminals are able to buy weapons and items from the black market by other players. Be careful though, you never know if a cop is trying to trick you! Using the black market requires a computer which is priced at around $500. Also, there will be bots that will be on the black market that will buy your drugs.
StorageYou can *safely* store your items in these amazing safes made by Conan. They require a password, and once opened anyone can loot it or close it assuming that it's opened.. If you have a key ring then you can open it without inputting the password. Otherwise you can reset the password by right clicking on the safe with your keys while opened.
The smallest safe can only contain $1000 and can fit 2 items. The medium-sized safe can fit $100k and 5 items. The largest one does not have a password and can hold $500k and 10 items. For the large safe, if the money is under $50k you can fit 20 items. Don't ask how that fits in there.
Pricing:
Small Safe: $250
Medium Safe: $500
Large Safe: $1500
These can all be blown up by a few charges of C4 but that's really hard to obtain so don't be worried /too/ much.
Now, safes aren't the only way to store your items. You can use shelves, glass display cases, and crates, which require a crowbar to open and store 1 type of item up to 1000 of those. Obviously, safes are more ideal.
Law EnforcementPolice ranks aren't much different from each other except for their paycheck, name, and weapons. However, they require some sort of training. Basic training is free but you can fail it (it's really easy though). Advanced training costs $100 and is a lot harder. Both of these take one day.
The Baton does 5 dmg only to wanted players if you're not wanted. It prevents people from resisting arrest for 1 second. If the suspect's health is below halfway, they will have a tumble effect.
The Taser, however, can miss and hurt another player. The taser takes three seconds to reload and the ammo is in small portions. This tumbles your target for 5 seconds and deals 5-10 damage.
Police officers get guns, but are ONLY to be used if a suspect is firing at you.
If you get arrested, your record has gone down the drain, so be careful. If you committed a misdemeanor, then you can possibly be a police officer.
Real EstateApartments: These can be rented for about $500 per IRL day. If you do not pay before the deadline after 1 IRL week, your apartment will be cleared but your items will be converted to money, which you will receive when you join again.
Actual homes will be default-styled and multiple bricks. To place nice with the brickcount, your build must be under 10k bricks including the house itself (unless the house is over 2k bricks). You can modify the house to your liking but it will be removed if it is inappropriate. The house can be sold that way but the owner has the choice to revert the house back to its original state.
Hotels are going to be pretty basic, you can't build in them and you can only sleep in them, use them as a hiding place, or store your drugs in their safes. They will be priced around $100/night and players can't make them.
DrugsDrugs will not be sold to a brick but instead sold on the black market, where they can be sold there with a TINY chance of them being an undercover cop. As for selling, you can set your price but if drug X's average buy price is $50.00, the chances of you selling it for let's say $100 is very slim.
