NEXUS MARKETPLACE

[skinstealer]

Welcome to the Nexus Marketplace! Here you can set up little businesses, services, and establishments for your critters to run. If you have something that could require bartering, trading, or using forum cash (referred to as “guild tickets” in-universe, and canonically earned as a sort of community reward for helping everybody else), here’s the place for you to set up shop. You can also just get freeform with it and do whatever you like, so have fun!

 

To set up a marketplace thread, make sure to add these to your opening post:
-a description of the establishment for IC context
-what services are available
-any applicable prices/trade offers at the moment
-anything else of note!

 

 
In-universe, most of the business done at the Nexus is through trade and bartering, whether that’s for goods and services. If your critter(s) offer custom services, they can ask for guild tickets (aka forum cash, OOC), but it’s generally discouraged unless you are providing something special that would require effort both on the player and critter’s side of things. For example: a farmer may trade for home-grown apples, but if a critter wanted a special apple pie for their birthday (especially if a nice description or graphic is added for the receiving player to collect and enjoy….), they could charge forum cash for it. Use this as a way to make forum cash via creativity!

When making a marketplace deal of any kind- you have to roleplay it out! This can be simple and quick or involve detailed conversations, it’s all up to you. Think of it as your critter getting visited by customers- perhaps they just want to talk, even. Just make sure to keep your main post updated with the actual things customers can prompt for, so that any new announcements don’t get lost!
