A notice is seen on the large boards in Regalia, a request by the only bank in Aloria, Mechbank, for places to set up smaller branch banks...

So, as the title says Mechbank seeks to set up some branch banks, at least one in each world. We will only be setting up branches in cities with attractive buildings. While the factions involved can, I suppose, be at war it would be preferable if you were a peaceful city. Mechbank is fairly successful despite being a complete experiment when it was started and making a few mistakes but we would still prefer that moving into a city be free of charge or be a one time payment for the building.

There are pros to having a Mechbank Branch in your city or town of course - the biggest being that it shows that you are a peaceful faction (as Mechbank will NOT place a branch in a warmongering faction) and it also gives you a bit of prestige (you were good enough to get an officer bank after all) which could give you more allies and more members alike. Mechbank is also likely to hire a faction member to manage the inside of the bank (namely to repair damage if such happens and to forward people who want loans to me).

The downside is loss of a building plot for the bank to be located in.

If you want to apply for a Mechbank Branch you need to be faction leader and to follow this form:

Name:
Faction:
Faction Population: (number and how peaceful)
Price: Silver Value, Monthly/One Time
Screenshot: A screenshot or 5 of you town/city/village/castle/whatever that you want to allow Mechbank to open a branch in.

I, being a sticky fingered SOB will naturally try to argue the price down. Just bear with it haha, we'll agree on a price eventually if you're willing to negotiate and don't have an obnoxiously high price from the start).

Thanks for reading and I hope to get some applications!
 
Excuse me sir can you tell me what Mechbank is and how it works(seems cool)
 
Name: stuckinbermuda
Faction: Consortium (The City of Consortia)
World: Ithania, just down the road from Havenreach
Faction Population: 50+ members in core faction + associated factions. The city is meant to be a peaceful RP city setting, some factions do not respect RP and still persist in raiding but we do have a defensive force for such disruptions.
Price: The pleasure of your company at regular bi-weekly intervals to discuss current events and first option on new investment products in exchange for exclusive access to four chunks near the center of our commercial district.
Screenshot: Its growing every day, I'm sure your familiar with us ;)
 
how much silver do you even have? wait... are you Donald Trump? and is this how real banking works?

Currently Mechbank is a what I like to call a Loan Pit (that is, we've loaned out quite a bit in the past 2 weeks so we don't have returns from it yet) but at this time Mechbank has, at last count, about 4k silver in loans and about 2k silver in Savings Accounts. It is against this 6k silver or so that Mechbank can back it's loans and expenses.
 
but your a banker in real life?

Oh heavens no! I'm just good at basic math. I'm still in college for Business Administration so I had to take an account class last semester (again this upcoming semester) which made me think about if I could manage a bank in this game. So far so good :D

Good man, using academic skills in a game, your gonna go far kid, with a thousand lies and a good disguise....
 
Mecharic, your job should be a banker. Then you can help us fix the economy. If you cant, (which I doubt) no one can.
 
I'd open up Syracuse, but we're pretty isolated, the only RP friendly way of getting there is by boat.
 
I'm a kitten. I automatically win every argument i get all the ladies
 
Mecharic I'd love to cast the 9th Legion into this, but 1. We're in Ithania too and 2. I'm not a leader :( Can you hold off while I get a Legate to represent us here?
 
alex040401 - Mechbank can wait and I need AT LEAST one branch in each world. Having a few dozen wouldn't hurt much so long as they're free... :P

stuckinbermuda - In all honesty the city of Consortia doesn't seem to have much of a theme... I saw a lava house, a giant pool, some desert themed stuff, and what appeared to be an elven sanctuary all on the same street... I was hoping your city would be more of a "Here's the style, stick to it" city. I'll think about it but make no promises.

VennHearts & Tubbytundra & Shawzie - If you aren't going to be on topic please exit this thread by the door labeled "Off Topic Subforum". Thanks :P

Ozgho - I don't mind isolated from others, though that does lower the overall price I'm willing to pay for a bank there :)
 
How much to own a share?

You need to contact a current shareholder (besides myself, mine aren't for sale) in order to get shares. The price is what the two of you negotiate it to be (and is the primary reason one should get shares - to sell them when the value increases).

By the Way - I'm in Ellador
 
I'm posting this on Blood's behalf because she can't open webpages ATM, and I'm the person in Sentinels most interested in building/maintaining the store.

Name: BloodBaron


Faction: Sentinels


Faction Population: Mostly peaceful roleplay faction, 39 people plus allies and hobos who spend most of their time here xD.

Price: Free! We want more RP locations/attractions in our city, and a MechBank branch would be perfect.

Our castle (Not 100% complete yet):

The proposed location of the MechBank branch (Not set in stone):

So yeah, I'd be beyond happy to maintain/staff the Branch.

Also, once again, the only reason I'm posting this and not Blood is because her internet is pooped. Everything in the submission form was written by her, I only did the screenshots and edited it slightly to explain certain things.

pwnzownz - I like the building and I like Sentinels the faction and I like the base quite a bit and you have lots of allies. Oh, and it's free. I'll contact you IG tomorrow (it's 11pm here haha) to decide the name of the portal to the bank :) Once I have a secure and confirmed HQ I will make a reciprocal portal there for easy access if possible. If not then we can just have a temporary portal so I can set up the inside of the bank. I will invite you to a private conversation (private in that it will house all the people maintaining the banks) to keep tabs and such.

alex040401 - I got your PM, I will discuss this with you.

You do not have any say in this, nor do you have any rights to apply for the 9th Legion. I will also quote this;
There are pros to having a Mechbank Branch in your city or town of course - the biggest being that it shows that you are a peaceful faction (as Mechbank will NOT place a branch in a warmongering faction)
Besides, I forbid this from happening, Roma doesn't require any banks from foreign factions.

Both you and Alex are officers correct? If that is the case I rather think that you need Ulu to override an officer (unless your faction has well labeled ranks like mine). As for 9thLegion being a warmonger faction I have not seen this ever. You fight when you need to and when you are threatened, not simply for the joy of it like Alamut.
