Proposal: Donations

Self-killed. Failed by card.

Adminned at 07 May 2017 16:09:19 UTC

Add to “Trading”:

At will, Managers may donate an amount of their cash of their choice to a Manager of their choice. The Donating Manager spends an amount of cash to cause the target Manager to gain that same amount of cash. Unlike regular trades or similar procedures, the recipient Manager’s consent isn’t required for this kind of transfer to occur. However, such a donor must also deduct an extra amount from their cash equal to 0.1 times X, where X is the amount of cash they’re donating, as Donation Fee.

Please make it specific that donating “spends $X” where X is the donated amount of the donating Manager’s cash.

Ok, good call. I added it, but with words instead of using “X” again to avoid cacophony with what X is.

You could have used a different variable if variables were absolutely necessary.

Also does ” - 0.1” mean negative 0.1? If you’re deducting a negative amount then you’d be essentially printing cash.

Woops. Used the wording of debts there. Fixed.

(lol, paying debt interest actually prints cash)

So, I could donate -1.000.000 dollars to anyone?

Wait, only positive amounts can be spent or deducted, unless otherwise specified, so I’m not sure.

Madrid:

Yep.

“Unless otherwise specified, only positive amounts can be spent, lost, gained, or transferred, and a rule that allows Managers to transfer a numeric value only allows them to transfer that value from themselves to another Manager (of their choice unless otherwise stated).”
