      IRC Nickname: His Lordship Group: Founder Posts: 6029 Member No.: 1 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 129    | Here's how it would work. We'd have a clan bank that stocks all the fighting gear the clan will need. It would sell it to you at a higher-than-market price. (About 20k higher than what is normally paid, per armour, 1k more per potion etc.. I'd set up a price list.). 1. This will encourage you to have your own gear. You'd only buy if you had no choice. 2. If the clan bank profits off merching, it can spend its profits getting more armour, or giving away rewards for clans. We'd take a few small donations but if the bank sells for a profit, it would fund itself. Would you guys be interested in this idea? ______________________________ Also, does anyone have a spare account that is close to doing Kingdom of Miscellania/Royal Trouble, or has done it? And would you be 100% prepared to give it to me to use? If the account has this, it can generate money by doing nothing. If not I'm perfectly fine to give the clan bank to one of my level 3 accounts. Discuss. --------------------  | ||||

 IRC Nickname: Gorgemaster Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 9840 Member No.: 3 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 540 | Randy, as Gene said, the clan bank would never/rarely give out free gear, unless as part of a reward/prize system, as members would still have to pay for it. I thought the function was suppsoed to be that if someone, for example, forgot to go and buy gear or discovered they were running out of sets at the last minute, the Clan Bank would be able to help. Although as Lee said, last time when we had the Clan Bank it was rarely used. I do think, if we want to, we could make a lot of use out of a clan bank. I'm afraid i have no account that you can use though, all i have is my main!  --------------------    | ||||

But you won't be online at the times where people need it most. Gonna be a pain in the arse switching over all the time. With the Grand Exchange put in place now i really don't see the need. It acts as a clan bank itself. -------------------- Be sure to check out the Community Events Forum!   | ||||

 IRC Nickname: Dnovelta Group: Emeritus Posts: 2750 Member No.: 130 Joined: January 20, 2008 Total Events Attended: 137 | If this is put into place, I'd like for it to be well documented. All Council should have access to it, not just you. We should have a formal thread that keeps tabs on all the items in the bank at any one point, and possibly have a weekly inventory in the form of a Screenshot. This information would be public so that those that do donate know they're not getting scammed, but so other people know that the clan bank is actually functioning. Whenever something is sold/given away it's noted down in the Clan Bank thread. I think something like this would be useful for those that don't have the amount of time to play as much as others and as such find it hard to make the millions some of us are able to make. I'd just hate for people to donate and then have it not be used. --------------------   | ||||

I remember that, but that was AGES before I shut it down. Most of the wealth from it was gone by then. -------------------- | ||||

| IRC Nickname: Mobifon Group: Clan Friend Posts: 65 Member No.: 1385 Joined: October 17, 2008 Total Events Attended: 10 | I don't have an account, however I do have some cash lying around that im willing to donate. The main thing i'd like to use this bank would be rewards; if not for the skill of the week / combat skill of the week, then for the snowball fights. - as suggested in my application for event leader. People having to not bring their own cash for those kind of events would make more people attend - and hey, it's only 25k anyways - should the bank sell gear for overprice I don't see the problem in handing out some, as well as being well stocked. --------------------  | ||||

| IRC Nickname: Spicy63 Group: Emeritus Posts: 785 Member No.: 50 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 0 | I haven't used my account actively for a few years now, I log on every once and then for about 5 minutes every couple of months. I don't see any reason not to just donate it. I believe it's done with Kingdom of Miscellania but hasn't started on the next one. I could be wrong though, if it isn't, it's definitely capable of doing it. You/the clan could use it permanently, I don't have any intentions of returning to Runescape. If you're interested, just PM me and I can send you the information. --------------------  | ||||
