New TCCP Information
Mag Fan and I are excited to bring back and start a new TCCP Project! For those of you who do not know what TCCP is, it stands for The Cricket Currency Project. You can set up your own stores and restaurants by submitting business info using the form below, and other participants of the TCCP can check out your businesses. Both of us have never participated in the previous TCCP, but we are willing to give it a try and start a new one ourselves. If you would like to participate in the TCCP, please fill out the form below to start your business. It is important to read this entire post before registering!
All starting participants will start out with $200,000. It costs money to start your business, buy inventory, and buy things from other Chatterboxers' shops and restaurants. A small building costs $2,000, a medium building costs $4,000, and a large building costs $5,000. It is obvious, but note that you are not using real money for the TCCP!
We are in need of people who are willing to start a bank in order to keep track of everyone's money. We also are in need of a person to start an information desk, where TCCP participants may ask any questions about TCCP. If you are willing to do so, please let me or Mag Fan know.
TCCP will last for about one month, to the end of February. If the project continues to work, we can extend the length of time that the TCCP will last.
Please fill out the following form if you would like to start your own business and participate in this new TCCP project. You can start building your stores AFTER Mag Fan or I approve your business and give you permission.
Alright, let's get this started!

Would it be possible for me to work at the bank? I'm pretty good at Math, but I don't want to run the bank.

You'll have to wait and see who wants to run the bank and ask that person if you could work there.

TOP! Awsome idea!

OK, I 've decided to start my own shop. Here is my application form:
Name: Lionreader
Name of Business: Lion's Fashion

Please let me know if my application is accepted!

I'd comment on this, but I think you should make the first comment on new applications, Nina, since this whole sign-up thing was your idea. After you either accept or reject a new application, I'll then post my input.

Lionreader, you may start the business. You must tell us the building size though, since it costs money to start a business. Please tell us whether you would like a small building, a medium building, or a large building, so I can deduct money from your starting amount. Thank you! After you tell us your building size and Mag Fan or I approve, you may start building your store.

I have another question: How do I build my store? Where do I get my invantory?
(January 31, 2014 - 10:12 am)
To build your store, you have to pay the bank a certain amount of money for the building, which Madeline has already taken out of your account. Then you need to buy inventory from the other CBers' stores with money that you have in the bank. Every time you spend or make money, you let Madeline know, and she'll and/subtract that amount from your account. For more info on the bank, please consult Madeline.

If I were to buy all of my inventory from other CB stores, I'd go bankrupt, so is it OK if I don't buy my inventory from the other CB stores?
(February 1, 2014 - 9:02 pm)
Oops, I forgot to tell you what size I want. I want a medium sized building.
(January 31, 2014 - 7:18 am)
It would be easier if we had a section for this, so we don't have to dig through all of the posts...
Name: Legion I, also known as Skyler (WHY does everyone think that name is a boy's) and Legiono. Or leion
Name of business: Name of Business
Description of business: I sell food. ummm burgers, fries, donuts < is that doughnuts or donuts?

free to 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000. So it doesn't matter. If that can't be, free to 200 dollars.

I'm confused. Are you looking to open a restaurant? Or is it like a grocery store? What do you think, Nina? To me, this application is confusing.
(January 31, 2014 - 11:21 am)

(January 31, 2014 - 6:08 pm)
Cool! ;P Yes, you may start your groceraunt! ;P
