[Octavian X]

With donsig, I am starting The Fanatikan Lottery Co.

Startup costs:
Owner: donsig and Octavian X
Business name: The Fanatikan Lottery Co.
Type: Service
Size factor: Private business (x2)
Expense factor: x1 (avg price <100g)
Partnership: x2
Estimated startup price: 2000
Description: Your chance to win BIG!

Price List:
1 ticket - 10g

Here's how it'll work:
Every participant purchases any number of tickets they want. A random number will be chosen, and if anyone has the number, they win the money.

Every time someone wins, the jackpot is set at 500g. However, if no one wins, the prize will go up, until someone does.

To encourage participation, a super jackpot may be set up, with a much larger beginnning sum of money.

Two people may pick the same number: however, if that number wins, the prize will be split.

For each ticket purchased, money will be divided as follows:
10g/ticket
-2g bank
-5g Prize fund
-2g to donsig's account
-1g to Octavian's account

Please note that all startup fees are to be withdrawn from donsig's account

Also, donsig holds 2/3 thirds of the company, and I hold the other third

 

[VHS]

can you get him to agree to this

"Please note that all startup fees are to be withdrawn from donsig's account"

 

[Octavian X]

I have been discussing this with donsig via pm.

So, tickets are 10g. 2g goes to taxes, 5g goes to the prize fund, 1.5g for you and 1.5 gold for me. If no one wins the prize it rolls over to the next drawing. Multiple winners split the prize fund evenly. Drawings at the rate of one per chat (preferably between chats). you and I can't buy tickets. Random # generator picks the winning # between 0 and 999 inclusive. It is permissible for more than one person to have the same #. I will pay the start- up costs, you run the business and we split profits 50/50. I think that covers our agreement, right?

donsig

He has given me full permission to do so.

I do agree to this. The Former Chief Justice (and poorest citizen) and the most investigated citizen in demo game history (and the richest citizen) are now partners in Fanatika's first gambling operation.

[donsig]

VHS has resigned as price manager. Guess that leaves only me. Please give me some time to catch up on my duties here. I've spent most of my day at my campaign headquarters watching the election returns.

 

[donsig]

Hmmmm... I'm not even sure what official businesses we have. I know there's the official house building business and the official animal business - are there others?

Anyway, the following businesses are approved:

The Fanatikan Lottery Co. (a partnership between Octavian X and donsig)

Bäckerei des Plexus (first private comany of Plexus)

Futuristic Weapons Shop (first private company by Grandmaster)

The purchase of Animals R Us by Shaitan for 2000g is approved.

Notes: The first is a service company. The last 3 could conceivably be either manufacturers or resellers. Under our current set-up it is important to know since the start-up cost is different and the tax rate is also different.

 

[Plexus]

Alright!

 

[donsig]

I have bought the BSE (Bavarian Stock Exchange) from the Bank/SAaM for 1g.

This is incorrect. A partnership / services company startup has startup costs of 1000g for legal fees plus (500g base x 2 for partnership =) 1000g for material startup costs. Total will be 2000g. Both Octavian and donsig have already used their first business startup credits.

Official businesses are on the way out. Do you mean registered businesses? These are listed in a post by Shaitan in the RPG index.
