Ludo Ergo Sum was born out of the need to build structured and coordinated trade channels so that a group of people can work towards something concrete, and in exchange for an explicit benefit, almost fitting the definition of a company. However, the game has very strong limitations to be able to set up something in that way, since it is all thought in the individuality, even the game societies do not have a kind of community bank or something similar.
In response to this clear need, and assuming the limitations of the game, Ludo Ergo Sum proposes a system of requests/offers/activities governed by an organizational hierarchy based on ranks. This system of requests/offers/activities will be managed by the coordinators or high ranks of the society, at the request of any member, external person or themselves, through the tools that we make available to the members: website, forum, discord, in-game society.
The idea itself is to create an ecosystem as closed as possible, in which the needs of the members are mostly covered through the system of requests/offers/activities. Let’s give examples:
- Let’s imagine that a member wants to sell sweat, he would put an offer for sale on the forum in a «special for society» price range, and another member who needs sweat for crafting would preferentially buy from him.
- Let’s imagine that someone needs 10 peds of some mineral: he would put the request in the forum, and the mining coordinators would be in charge of giving work to the miners of the society to fulfill that request in a preferential way, and also under a «special price for the society».
- Now let’s say that someone requires a rare wave material: the request would be put on the forum, and the hunting coordinator would be in charge of fulfilling that objective under the same premise as the previous examples.
…
In parallel, the society will be in charge of organizing activities outside the requests or offers, especially considered for people who are just starting, or play without depositing or depositing very eventually. There will be SWUNT activities, hunting, and some other activities that we prefer to keep secret for now 🙂 We will also teach and guide all the people who wish to do so.
