Forum:CPSW Inflation

Well, guys, we have a SERIOUS problem here. Please try to follow my logic.

We know that every member of the bank recieves 25 WB$ every week, and every new member recieves 500 WB$ as a bonus. That menas the quantity of money in circulation will always increase, causing the users to be always richer, and, with that, the items will be more expensive. That is a problem, because new users will be poor and won't be able to buy the items. Because of that problem, I suggest that weekly salaries should be temporarily cancelled. That will give us more time to think of a solution.

Now, I ask you, users, to help us on finding a soluition for the problem. I must remember that increasing the amount of money of the starting bonus is NOT a solution, it would only complicate even more, as there will be more and more money on circulation.

Please post your suggestions :)

Penblooe's Ideas
As the problem is similar to the one that happens on real life, the solution will also be on real life. I was thinking if the bank should be something like the government, with taxes and all. The most pages you have, the most expensive are the taxes. Another thing we should need is a treasurer, someone to control the money in and out.

Now, one thing that will be good for sure: reduce the starting bonus. Maybe 200 WB$ is a good quantity. It will solve the problem before mentioned, and will induce new users to make their shops.

You may not like taxes, but they WILL be needed. They will help to not have much money in circulation. The most money in circulation, the most expensive are the taxes. Money in circulation will increase as the community expands. Inactive accounts will be cancelled, as inactive money is not good. Maybe a certain quantity should be taken off by every week of inactivity. --  PenblooeR    © 2011  03:19, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

LordMaster96's Proposals
Penblooe's right, but although it happens in real life, we don't need to go to far. Maybe until the CPSW reaches a certain number of active users, there will be a specific amount of WB$ in circulation (maybe 10K WB$ for now). In this case, the bank would also have an account, and when the bank reaches 0 WB$, or when there isn't sufficient WB$, the weekly salaries would stop.

Speaking of "taxes", we could have a certain day of a month or year where users would have to owe the bank a certain percentage of their bank money, or income. And Penblooe, ridding of inactive accounts is a good idea, but a week of inactivity might sometimes not be controllable, such as vacation. Maybe for such purposes we'll have an exception, but for most inactivity, the bank will take a small fraction of WB$ from the inactive users' accounts.

PS, for those of you who are kids, the world doesn't have unlimited money. -- LordMaster 96  03:32, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Brookelas' Idea
First of all, I think stop wiki-wide sales. That makes stuff cheaper. If a mall wanted to have a sale, that would be their desicion.

Taxes: Maybe GST, but PLEASE no HST =(, and maybe start taxes later. Also, maybe reduce weekly bonus to 15 WB$

More ideas me be posted...


 * LOL the HST -- LordMaster 96  04:15, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Chill's Idea
OK, so, no taxes. Plus it would have to get by me anyway but herbleburmble...

Anyways, I'm thinking we should stop giving users a salary once they reach 1000 WB$. However, I'm not sure whether they should never get salary again, or obtain salary again once they drop under 1000 WB$. But we should never stop salaries - it wouldn't be fair as people who didn't have malls wouldn't be able to get WB$ at all, which wouldn't be fair. I say that we leave things the way we are.

Also, LordMaster96, I KNOW that the world doesn't have unlimited money, but this is the internet. You can let your imagination go wild! Why does the CPSW have to be like real life? Answer my question and I might reconsider. -- Chill57181   Talk   Contributions  14:01, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Because of the problems I mentioned before. Have you really read it? --  PenblooeR    © 2011  14:15, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I have an idea - raise the starting bonus to 1000 WB$. Also, I think we don't need to make prices higher just because people are getting more money. Prices in Penguin Style don't raise if you have 7000 coins, right? So why raise the prices? -- Chill57181   Talk   Contributions  18:40, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Raising the starting bonus doesn't solve the problem. What PenblooeR mentioned in the first place, the richer users will raise the prices of their items higher so they can get richer, in which the poorer newer users won't be able to afford to buy. -- LordMaster 96  21:24, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Brookelas Idea 2
Chill57181 IS right, we don't need taxes, as we do not have a CPSW Prime Minister/President =P! Yes, we do not have unlimited money (But we have money makers in the bank). Also, to answer your question PenblooeR, what if we increased people who didn't have mall's weekly salaries to 40 WB$ or 50 WB$?


 * Actually Brookelas, your raising the salary idea is ok, but it would only be temporary, or else they won't even NEED to make a mall. So we could tell them that their salaries would only be that high until such and such time, so they'll make a mall before then.   Cp kid    Talk to meh!    Look at meh pages!   17:11, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
