The Barter Game Idea (includes screenshots)

5thJan 14, 2013 by Dalagninja

I have posted this back in October(?), but it was probably not the best time to post it since randomize just announced The Hunger Games the same week. But once again talk has started up again with wanting a way to sell or trade designs. So here's my idea to solve that situation. LONG POST AHEAD!

The Barter Game, is a place where you can trade your old designs for T$'s and/or a new design from another player!

How it will look in the shops tab: http://i47.tinypic.com/rvkns3.jpg
The Barter Game page: http://i48.tinypic.com/30bfu5d.png

How it Works:
-12 hour bartering period
-Cost's 5T$'s to Start a Barter
-Only allowed 2 Barters a week
-Maximum Offer: 500T$'s and/or 2 designs
-When you place an offer, the T$'s and designs will be removed from your account until your offer is declined, withdrawn, or timed out. If your offer is accepted you get the T$'s or designs won from the post.

Example:
Cray, needs some T$'s and maybe a new design. And he has a design that he doesn't use anymore, so he goes to The Barter Game and makes a post with that design he doesn't use anymore for people to place offers on: http://i47.tinypic.com/2v9c6ed.png .

Then, Dalagninja (me) see's the post that #Cray put up, and I have a few T$'s and a design I don't use anymore either, so I offer 100 T$'s and a design, then submit a offer: http://i49.tinypic.com/11179m9.jpg .

#Cray looks back at his post a few minutes later, and looks to find I placed an offer, and has the choice to Accept the offer (which would close the post, and the designs and T$'s will be transferred between the two) ,or Decline the offer (which would delete my offer) ,or do nothing and wait to see all the offers: http://i49.tinypic.com/rhtq9x.png

Moment's later, randomize see's #Cray's post and decides he wants the design and offers 200T$'s and a design, then submits an offer: http://i45.tinypic.com/5uphja.jpg .

I looks back and see that #randomize's offer is to good so I can either decide to Edit my offer (to try and beat out #randomize) or withdraw my offer (and use the T$'s and/or designs on a different post): http://i48.tinypic.com/219c21x.jpg .

At the end of the 12 hours if the person that post's does not accept and offer is canceled and gets nothing.

This will devalue all designs by making them easier to get and afford. This will reverse the steady inflation Randomize put in place by raising the rewards and cause economic disaster to the site.
