(Angus i promise im not trying to create more work for you lol ) Ok so I was thinking about having a black market. We need a place to sell our merchandise, whether it be a variety of slaves, experiments , weapons, etc. we would need a place to sell it. My initial thought was an auction house but then that just seemed to limiting in a way. Then I thought of the black market where everything is sold.
I initially thought that this would be something that would go in the sub thread "underground" It would be something that would be found in there. But would that have been enough space? The idea that I had was that those wishing to sell would have their own spots, area, whatever. Like a Bazaar. Each person would have their own thread or "shop" to sell there merchandise.
Take for instance, Pi. The cutie pie that Jack has for sale. He would post her information on the thread and then open the floor for an auction for those wishing to buy her (Take the hint *wink wink* jk). They would post their bids below. When the auction is closed just edit the first post. You can do this to change up your shop and restock. when ready just post stating new auction or something.
Another example we could use would be Drea. She needs another set of swords(still hadnt gotten them yet lol) She goes to the Bazaar and sees someone selling all kinds of blades. The storekeep would give a list of everything that they are selling along with their prices, basically set up the store with a complete description, in the starting posts. from then on the customer pick and choose what they want and simply buy it. please be knowledgeable about what youre selling though, you just might get someone who asks questions, though its your choice whether or not you want to even answer them. But yea those are just a couple of examples of some stores
Oh and before i forget, we need hunters. we need humans out there actively trying to fuck shit up in the shifter world. This came to mind when i thought about Dr. Rutherford selling his research. He thinks himself a human but come on, he lived for hundreds of years and injects himself with shifter DNA, he aint human. He would sell it to both humans and shfters alike. I thought about who would benefit from the information and hunters came to mind. We have no human antagonists on the site really, no active ones anyway. And the only time i saw mention of hunters was with Decoii. Come on guys we gotta step it up. Were on were drama is all well and good but we cant forget about one of their biggest enemies.
I had the idea of hunters alligning with Dr. R and helping him though, i couldnt get that started on my own lol So, i guess that is two ideas. 1.) Create a black market/Bazaar board and 2.) get some hunters out there hunting and fucking up shit. we cant let the shifters have all the fun
As always, your opinions matter and are surely welcomed.

I love the idea.I mean all well in good saying hey I got this cash and I have all this money an bling A gorgeous house. But were the hell did you get the cash for all this stuff. I can see those that actually have a business raking in that money. But for those of us that do not have a legal business in rp. Well we would need arms dealers,drug dealers, and sex trade. So all in all a black market would be the place were all this is sold. Or bought. Depending on who you are.
His funding is gonna lessen a little once the pack comes into effect because a good chunk of his money was funded by the doctor. And well she is has poofed. So he will need to sling more. SO most defiantly on the black market.

lol Eliora, I love the idea...one issue though. The Underground is exactly that, a black market. XD
An elaborate black market at least. lol I realize I haven't given much information on it, but I do have a lot with the underground in my head. I should probably make an overview for it, since it's not well explained at all. Fighting, sex, slaves, drugs, weapons, all of it's there. That's where Ryan sells his services even. I just need people to utilize is considering that I'm the only one that's posted on there. XD
I would be glad to put more work into it in order to make this thing a reality though. I don't want to be the only one making roleplays in that board after all. Of course, any pack member found there will probably have a bad ending if Azalea gets her hands on them. Her time in the pits isn't something she wants to become common knowledge after all. lol However, rogues and the like a free to go in there. I want what I say Azalea to be to be truth, not just hype after all. lol Getting people into the Underground will actually solidify her reputation. Then with more shops from a fully realized black market there, it will become a place of relevance, like it should be.
As for the Hunters? That is up to the site to create. I am not good at playing Hunters, so we need people to play them. XD

Oh sweet, that I didn't know. Though I should probably of.
Lol the problem with hunters is that the ratio of hunters to shifters is slightly out numbered. And them being human (well the one i have is) it will be much harder to fight shifters even if all buffed out and decked with weapons. A up close an personal fight would not be very realistic if they survive(more so if a group attack them). And who are they going to hunt. From what I have seen so far no one wants any of their char's to die. So we just randomly peg off no names? Well any one can do that and the majority of my hunts would be in excerpt. I mean that is ok for a while but, it would be less interesting going against your self all the time. not saying this is your problem to solve just putting it out in the air.

Ah well hell that makes it a lot easier lol XD I had initially thought that it was but wasnt sure if that was a place solely for your characters. That and I wasnt sure how the space thing would work out, at least in my head anyway. lol now that I know that its open for the rogue public i will most definitely be using it, no worries XD
I feel you on the tip about only one person utilizing a thread. That's kinda how I feel about SOBEA. Trying to get that jumping off, hopefully the ball will be rolling on that soon. Honestly I want to get away from the romance fad and get real with the life of shifters. Im no good at playing a hunter but i will try if it means a little diversity in the scheme of things. But yea getting people to actually create and rp them might be a problem for those who just dont want to kill off their characters. We cant move forward if people dont want to budge on that. I have characters of my own that i am willing to kill off but it wouldnt really be fair if no one else is willing to do the same.
lol i seriously feel like we've had this conversation before concerning people not wanting to kill their characters xD

We have had that conversation. Which is bull in the long run.
I will kill off any character at any given time if the situation is right. Troy? He's dead. Why? Victoria and his mother are dead, so he shoots himself in the head. I'm typing the excerpt now. Angus? He's going to be assumed to be dead at some point later. Why? He's, once again, a failure to his family. He kind of...broke and left. This is all because of all the deaths that were associated with Decoii leaving. Ryan? I'll be blunt- he's going to take risky ass jobs and do stupid shit for a while because of Asumi's death. Dunno if he'll live, no matter how skilled. He'll have to pull shit out of his ass.
I wish I could break everyone of this over-protective shield they've all put around their characters. It's silly and it leads to things dying out. It's been 10 years since Angus took over the pack in roleplay, and yet some characters are still doing the same exact things. Some characters are in the same exact position, same mindset- which isn't logical. 10 years is a long time and no one will be the same at that point. Doesn't matter if their families bigger or anything, some characters are just stuck in the same place because of people's stubbornness.
Anyway, that's going into rant territory so I'll leave that there. lol But I do agree. I suppose I'll try to make a Hunter.

The only character I do not want dead yet is voss. Shit i havent even got to play him as alpha yet XD
Every one else is up for grabs. I had orignally wanted to have Cinder die at some point. Never really knew when or by what. But if she does die and when I might as well sacrifice her to the oogy boogy hunters. Lol I mean really if the pack worked as a pack they could take out any hunter. They may lose a few along the way.But it would not be hard to take down a human. If a challenge was wanted to be had. A vampire would be considered harder to kill. Being evenly matched with strength and speed. That I would see as a great hunter. But they fall under the category of being supernatural so humans would have less want to deal with them as well.
Since you said the Underground was open I think I will post my little shop up for show of merchandise. Though Pi being the only 'shifter' trafficking so far. I am open for any who wants to add to the stock pile with any characters of their own.
And E I am all for Buying and selling TO SOBEA via Voss.

My hearts cries for Angus, Aza, and the girls. Its so sad. That makes sense. I am personally, just coming to the point where some of my characters are not needed or their story has come,or coming, to an end if you will. and i have so many ideas in my head for things but gotta clean out the old to bring in the new. lol idk it might be something in the air because idea upon idea has just been coming to me xD If you need to rant go right and let it out man XD lol I will very interested in seeing 'em, you make some awesome characters. lol

Lol yeah I had a few idea's concerning a living Carmine but i was like him being dead and a spirit for ever pushing Kia's buttons as filler for her story was way better then him running around being a torturing asshole. I had at one point going to have him seek revenge for Antonio taking her, and go on a hunting spree of his own. But I just really didn't see it playing out with his old age. And no really training as a hunter.
I thought of tessa only recently though the concept was there Just never really took form till now. I have lots and lots of idea's as well just a lot of them hang in the balance of weather they are right enough or realistic enough for the site. Gotta tame my imagination some times to keep it grounded. XD
Yeah Doesn't bother me Angus rant to your hearts content. And I have to agree with E the characters you have are pure awesome sauce. You play them perfectly too makes me a tad envious at the skill. I can do all right in playing mine. I rush to much though. with some of them wanting to get the story out.

lol I am the same way with my characters. I tried to edit my post but it got erased. you would be interested in doing business with Sia concerning sex slaves. She runs the cat house where Antonio goes to have "fun" She'd do business with you if the price is right. Though she is mentioned in a couple of my rps concerning him, she is more in the background. I would love to bring her to the forefront. Though i would probably need to write up a profile for her and set up shop....
Lol its hard to reign in your imagination when it wants to soar XD but yea i get what you mean though. It needs to be reasonable and not out in left field lol
Ok awesome on the Voss/SOBEA tip. The representative for that would be Emmanuel. He's the only one that Rutherford would trust enough with that.

Sounds great i would love you to bring her forward. It would add something to the dealings. Though I need to get a few good rps in for the pit to, (hopeing not with just you but others as well) So i feel it is actually something other then by my word.
Jewel's character Thea seems eager to get into to that spark of life. So I thought why the hell not open it up a little. Voss needs to loosen his grip and spread the word.
I am wondering how would Voss catch wind of this. You know I have been trying to wrap my head around the beginning of the Black Ash pack. Because i know Anthony and them have to escape/kill Benjamin. I was wondering if there was a way around that(not saying that benjimin shouldnt die, just anthony see what his brother is up to. I mean tha thas to be eating him alive as to whats really going on. )and have Voss and Anthony meet some how? >.< I think I am just way to eager for the pack to honest.
