Clan Stores

No, not the vendors inside the base.

I’m talking about having the clan as a whole, own a store. Anyone in the clan (or with the empowerment) can put items into the store and anyone (with the empowerment) can collect on the funds.

That’d be cool if you wanted a shop without risking any of the players who have to be labeled by the vendor.

I’d suggest a few changes, all of which revolve around the fact that anyone who can put items up for sale can also take the profits. The problem is that, well… someone could ask for the empowerment, put an item or two up for sale, and then take all of the profits. The "best" solution–and also the most difficult to code, I’d believe–would be for the vendor to keep track of who’s "donated" what and pay them accordingly. Alternatively, it could have a logs that players can access, ala induct. You could also split the functionality up into two commands (post_sale and withdraw_profits, or sume such), or leave it out of the players’ hands entirely by having all profits be donated directly to clan coffers.

Or bear with me on this, have a new vendor command, vendorbank. This would assign a bank account for a vendor then you can simply enter the bank account number and be done with it. Instead of donating profits or collecting the vendor directly deposits into a bank. Since clans already have bank accounts listed this would be simple for them.

The obvious solution is to just have it automatically donate the credits to the clan.
