Buttons / Ribbons / Stamps / Coins
Posted: Wed Oct 13, 2021 1:37 pm
Currently the Cards market is for Trading Cards only - the idea I’m proposing would be to include buttons, ribbons, coins, and stamps — and expand the “market” into a general Trading Market.
Why?
Personally I think it helps to connect the Trading Market to NationStates as a political simulator. Politics generates a lot of campaign buttons, trinkets, & commemorative coins.
I would foresee buttons / ribbons / coins / stamps as being player-generated.
A player could issue buttons (perhaps as a token of appreciation to electoral supporters), ribbons (perhaps for GP missions), coins & stamps as regional commemorative items…
Players would submit an image, title, and description - and the more of those items they wanted to “produce” the higher the cost in terms of Card money.
0.01 - Stamp
0.10 - Coin
0.20 - Button
0.30 - Ribbon
You’d then be able to gift the collectibles to folks and the collectibles could be traded & sold on the market just like cards are…
Dates of production would be important to prevent fraud via re-releases or faux releases. The junk value would be equal to the original production value.
