Challenge(5) - Solo

[Prepare2Lose]

Requirements = None

Level of Difficulty(1-10, 1 is easy and 10 is hard) = 8

Start = 4/19/08

End = Never

Description = Work! This is the first of a few challenges that will involve CIVILIZING yourself. Now that people have had a chance to get over the separation of the planet, it is time to start lives. All of the jobs and belongings of everyone living on the planet have been destroyed. You have all been eating the leftover food from the storage bins and living under little shacks that collapse every time something touches them. Now that the food storage bins are nearly depleted and other things have gone wrong, you need to figure out a way to survive. The first step in this survival process is to get some sort of a job so you can bring in enough income to purchase food and shelter and anything else you may need.
Jobs have there own unique qualities and the things that you have to do are different for each job.
Some suggested jobs are:
House Seller
Cook
Shepard
Inventor
Warrior
etc.
An example of what a job would be like is:
If you were a cook you may have to supply some form of a picture of food to your tent at least 3 times a week. *that is just an example and may not actually be the job of a cook*

Rules = To get a job reply in this thread stating the title of the desired job(it can be a suggested one or anything you think of).
Then post any ideas you might have relating to what you would do to perform the task that the job requires(not required)
And end the post with the things you should be given for having the job.
I, Basal, will act as if I'm your employer. I have the right to tell you that you can not have the job(this could be because too many other people have it or even if I don't think its enough work and can't think of anything more you can do for it). In my reply post to you I will tell you the title of your job, the things you have to do to keep the job and the things you get for doing a job.
No punishment will be given for not getting a job or for being fired from a job. However, if you are fired that means you can't get a new job for at least 1 week.

Reward(s) = Depends on the job. Typically the reward will include some form of [glow=blue,2,300]MP[/glow]


*Please remember that if you have any questions or comments on challenges then you should be posting them in the Neutral Tent, not in The Arena!*

newspaper.

The way i would prefer this to work is that i would get on how ever many times a week as Basal would want me to and post the latest news from Otar. No pictures though.

[Prepare2Lose]

Ok. Your job is now Newspaper Publisher/Writer.
In order to meet the minimum requirements of the job you need to write at least one thing related to the latest happenings of Otar every 2 weeks. You also must Publish(post) at least one thing related to the latest happenings of Otar once every week.
Your pay will be
10 [glow=blue,2,300]MP[/glow] every week. You will also receive 2 skill points every week. (this pay is assuming the news is good and on time.)


*The way the job works is that you are kind of like the head of the newspaper company and the only person currently working for the company. So for now you will have to go above the minimum requirement and write news each week instead of every 2 weeks. The reason for the every 2 weeks is if someone wants to be employed by you they would be a writer most likely. Then they may need to write something every week, which means you won't have to write every week.

**If you have a problem with the times or anything else related to this job please post them in the Neutral Tent.

I would like to be a house seller. I would enjoy designing houses and selling them to the people of Otar. Basal can determine the amount of blueprints i need to come up with and the number of houses i need to sell in a given amount of time.

[Prepare2Lose]

Ok. Your job is now House Maker/Seller.
In order to meet the minimum requirements of the job you need to create and post at least 2 blueprints for houses/buildings every 2 weeks. Include as much information as possible in these blueprints. You also must Sell these houses/buildings to the people of Otar, at least 1 every 2 weeks with 1 week break in between.*
Your pay will be all of the [glow=blue,2,300]MP[/glow]paid to you for the houses/buildings.**
You will also receive 5 skill points at the end of each 2 week selling period.* (this pay is assuming the blueprints are good and on time. And you meet the minimum of all the requirements.)


*So you need to sell a house between now(4/21) and 2 weeks from now(5/5). Then you don't need to sell a house for a week(5/5) to (5/12). Then you need to sell a house in the following 2 weeks. Your pay will be given at the end of the 2 weeks, before the week break.(on 5/12 in the above example).

**The price of a house/building will need to be approved by me before offered to the people of Otar.

I'd be an astronaut? (Hahaha... Laugh as much as you want)
Maybe I will get paid after I put 3 photos of any space things (photos can be copied) and being described on a post in 1 week.

3 Photo, Description= 1Week
I would maybe be paid on 1 week or 2.

[Prepare2Lose]

Ok. Your job is now Space Reporter (not to be confused with Newspaper Publisher/Writer)
In order to meet the minimum requirements of the job you need to write and publish at least 3 Photograph/Articles* every 2 weeks(remember, this is just the minimum requirement... you will get more 'pay' for doing more than the minimum requirement).
Your pay will be 18 [glow=blue,2,300]MP[/glow]every two weeks. You will also receive 4 skill points every two weeks.(this pay is assuming the reporting is good and on time.)

*You can do any combination of photographs or articles as you want, for example you can publish 3 photographs every other week, or 3 articles, or 2 photographs and 1 article, etc.

**A photograph is defined as: Some form of a picture(custom made or not) and a short description of the picture. The description can be as long as desired, but make sure it describes the picture well.

***If you have a problem with the times or anything else related to this job please post them in the Neutral Tent.

****If you are confused about something please post in the Neutral Tent.

I would like to be a Tavern owner.I could sell food that boosts people stats at prices that u pick. I would get what ever moneys paid to me -25% of it or what ever you want.AT the end of every week i will add up the cost and stats bonus of each person. So u don't have to. mp is money right?

[Prepare2Lose]

Ok. Your job is now Tavern Owner
In order to meet the minimum requirements of the job you need to create 1 new type of food every 2 weeks*. You also must sell at least 2 food items every 3 weeks**.
Your pay will be the [glow=blue,2,300]MP[/glow]you recieve from the food minus(-) 25% for supply costs.*** You will also receive 4 skill points every two weeks.(this pay is assuming that the minimum requirements are met.)

*Creating a food item consists of writing a small description and/or making a picture of the food item. Then setting up a price for the item. You can decide whether that type of food gives the customer skill points in a specific area or just in general and the amount of skill points. Also, you must post the information so that your customers can see it. (If I notice any prices or skill points that I do not agree with I will tell you, no punishment will be given).

**Selling two food items consists of someone purchasing an item from you by making some form of a post that says that they are buying the item. Right now it is set at 2 items every 3 weeks. That may be reduced depending on how difficult it is to sell the food. (I won't be strict on this for the first couple pay periods).

***Supply costs are currently set up at 25% in general. That amount may change depending on the food created. For example, lets say you have to make a 15 foot pizza with 20 gallons of sauce and 2 tons of cheese, and you set the price extremely low. Well, that 25% may increase to 40% for that meal because you still need to pay for the extra supplies. However, if you set the price fairly high for that meal then the supply costs may not need to increase.

****At least once a month you must add up the costs of all the food purchased from the last time you added it all up. Then report to me(in whatever way you would like) the list` of names with amounts owed. Soon after I recieve the list, I will go through and remove the MP from their profiles and add the correct amount to yours.

`The list would look something like this:
-BillyBob = 32 MP
-Danny = 51 MP
-Cinthia = 5 MP
-(Name) = (Amount)

*****You do not have to add up the skill points that they recieve because they are only purchasing the food. In order to gain advantages from it they must post in their profile that they want to eat it, just like if they want to equip clothes/armor.(If you had a different idea in mind feel free to tell me so I can change this around for it)

******MP = Money Points

*******If you have a problem with the times or anything else related to this job please post them in the Neutral Tent.

I have created an updated Pay Day* list for Magma, Thp101, and xsouldragonx(g00fyth3g00f's days are a little different so his list has not been made yet):

Date : Name of person(s) receiving pay

5/19 : Magma + Thp101
5/26 : Magma
6/2 : Magma + Thp101 + xsouldragonx
6/9 : Magma
6/16 : Magma + Thp101 + xsouldragonx
6/23 : Magma
6/30 : Magma + Thp101 + xsouldragonx

Thats all I need to say for now. If you notice an issue with anything please tell me so I can resolve it, that is the reason I am saying all of this!
(I know it looks like Magma is getting Paid more than anyone, but his pay is actually less than everyone elses)

*Pay Days are obviously on Mondays unless otherwise specified in your job information form.
