Business Expectations

[Jerome]

Player owned dealerships, 2-3 clothing stores owned by an actual player where said player will actually be there roleplaying with people entering these stores.

[Monocle]

I'd love to see fast food companies as well as different types of factories/plants.

-Paintball/Airsoft Scripts(Allows business owners to map arenas then players to play various types of paintball and airsoft games.)

-Gun range scripts(Allows the business owner to operate a gun-range.)

-Food truck script/job (Create food items inside the food van. Maybe get paid hourly?)

-Food Cart script/job (Create food items at a Food cart. Maybe get paid hourly? )

-Graffiti Remover job (I guess this could be a job within the city government faction. However, this job would allow you to remove graffiti on private and government owned property)

Regularly opened businesses on GTA V are beneficial to provide roleplay to an area and is a great avenue of bringing players together so I'd like to see them more readily available in comparison to LSRP on GTA SA.  Players should be allowed to apply for a business however with that said, should have the necessary experience in the field they're applying for and also have a solid business plan in place. Factions should also be able to apply for them with the same requirements however I personally believe that factions/groups/companies should be prioritised over individuals - though if the individual's app makes complete sense and trumps the faction's then the individual should receive it.

Examples of how this can be done are: Property Management pick out a bunch of businesses which have in game signs/advertising on the property - they then have it scripted in and add an application to it on the UCP. Players may also pick out a spot which is unused and request a custom business in said location. Factions send a letter of interest into the Faction Team who then take the LOI into discussion before forwarding it onto Property Management.

As for what?
Player owned vehicle dealerships, bars, restaurants, night clubs, mechanic garages, fast food businesses, movie theatre, breweries, rentable offices (similar to how the business requests would go). There should be no restrictions on the types of businesses as long as the story and business plan make sense - obviously within script limitations.

Scripts?
Vehicle dealerships - ability to add a vehicle to the businesses' inventory and add a visible price on it.
Bars, restaurants, night clubs, fast food businesses - ability to create custom items (food/physical objects - drinks can be handled by breweries) - once the item is created or obtained, it can be added to the business inventory and an employee either buys it (money goes to business bank) or has a command to sell X Inventory Slot to PLAYER which then also goes to the business bank.
Mechanic garages - mechanic script which requires someone with the job to either be next to a towtruck which has components or be within X distance of a mechanic garage which has components. Players will pull up to the garage in their vehicle, pick the modifications they want out from a menu, ICly a catalogue or tablet and from there the mechanic will roleplay it all out.

Movie theatre - script where employees can play youtube videos on the big screen. Possibly incorporate this to TV's if possible too?
Breweries - employees require X ingredients to brew X alcohol and it takes X amount of time. They may also choose to import alcohol in however this would take longer to encourage in depth roleplay around the concept. Imported alcohol could come in the form of craft liquor or custom liquor which is then renamable to whatever alcohol they deem fit.
Rentable offices - self explanatory really, application on the UCP, works similar to business applications. Once accepted, a member of Property Management or X Level Admin gives the player keys to said office, they don't physically own it. Once they have keys, they have to deposit/wire X amount per week/month to pay the rent.

Could there be like an animal business like a shelter where the dogs are kept and being able to own a dog? If that is possible. Same as doing VETS for example? Let me know if possible. 

 

Could add camping spots, where you'd have to buy to camp in the one area, depends if you could put out caravans or create an interior for it. Like a place to rent caravans, not through the main places. Would have to drive to the country side. 

 

Also could add  live casino with commands that are available same as with live poker. 

 

Broadcasting businesses - where you can fly helicopters, get the latest news from the Police Department and all the factions that are legal that need news put out instead of having /ads, unless there's no people online to do so.

Make food intake necessary for characters to make it realistic and would also grow opportunities for Restaurants to roleplay.

CBD / Coffee Shops. 

 

I left the server before I saw any improvement on the role play within Casino's, but it would be nice to see a roulette and blackjack script properly implemented. Mmartin did well with creating /rnumber but there's only so much you can do of it, also the bets got so confusing when doing so manually. But a Casino and Betting Shops would make a great addition if role played correctly.

[catsmoon]

Hotel/Motel Script/Job: 

Make it so that Motels and Hotels are rentable, but if someone wants to work at the Motel/Hotel as a receptionist then the person wishing to rent a room will have to go into the office and RP with them to get the keys, sign contract, and such. Not sure specifically on how a script could be implemented for this but surely it is possible. 

[KnownAlmighty]

Insurance business might be perfect for roleplay opportunity. TV related media roleplay too might be nice as well.

We already had that on SAMP and that was removed further down the line for a reason, we're here to create a realistic roleplay server that is both fun to play and isn't a whole MMO/RPG at the same time.
If people roleplay their characters having lives they would obviously also go out for dinner RP wise, let that be a restaurant or a simple snack from a 24/7.

Casinos / Gambling Parlours

 

I think to begin with there should be a small number of server owned casinos and gambling parlours. This would require scripts for poker, blackjack, slots, roulette. I don't think you'd need any more games than that but you could have others. Further down the line players would be able to acquire casinos and gambling parlours as you would for other businesses. Kind of an IC issue but they should probably require a gaming license, which should be limited in number to prevent 10s of casinos popping up. A license limitation would also open up the opportunity for underground games and establishments.

 

A chips system could be added to add some more realism. At a casino you'd have to exchange your money for chips in order to play, each time you'd be given a receipt and have to pay tax on your winnings.

IRS Business / Faction

 

This might be better suited for the economy thread or elsewhere but an IRS organisation would be good. The main function of this would be to investigate any large transactions between players, as well as any large cash deposits. Some script support would need to be added of course.

 

This could tie in with the gambling scripts quite well. Playing at legit casinos would require you to pay taxes on your winnings (not sure how best implemented to be honest) and the chips system would enforce this otherwise your winnings would be useless. Tax evasion would also incentivise underground games / gambling establishments which would create more RP for legal and illegal players alike. It'd also be one of those things which could blur the lines of illegal and legal RP for some players/characters which is usually a good thing.

What about High Schools? Like 2013 Samp LSRP.  It will attract a lot of people.

Just wanna add: I hope there isn’t “entry fees” for businesses or clubs, unless there’s actually somebody roleplaying there and taking the fee. I never liked the idea of just a blanket fee to enter a building.

I remember being let into the high-school and shown around before it ever even opened. I forget which administrator created it but credits to them of course. But it was really neat and the aspect of it seemed fun for people to experience but over-all it didn't last very long. I'm sure a high-school could be done way better in GTA V with what it has to offer to the development team and that this should be attempted once again for players to experience. I'm very fond of all sorts of role-play and it's what makes role-play fun!

That'd be a legal faction, not a business.
