I'm disappointed because almost no one posted "ideas for future contests"
So I'll separate the influence points reward into 2 sections: On topic, and Fun level

Walter Yorkshire
Prize: 1000 (on-topic) + 1000 (fun) - 500 (giving me too much work)
Entry: Come up with the deals TIH offer and what might happen if you are caught

Garry Hurst
Prize: 1000 (on-topic) + 200 (not-much-fun)
Entry: Need Items for Toy store

Dani Jonker
Prize: 0 (Offtopic) + 800 (fun)
Entry: We need to stop the invasion by having toy guns.

Zxektok Megatron
Prize: 0 (Offtopic) + 500 (fun) + 1000 (good idea outside of contest)
Entry: Suggestion: Restaurant as Store (MENU included)

Henrik Hedegaard
Prize: 0 (Offtopic) + 200 (not-much-fun) + 500 (ok idea outside of contest)
Entry: Suggestion: Product contest system

Maverick Khan
Prize: 0 (Offtopic) + 200 (not-much-fun) + 500 (ok idea outside of contest, but conflicts with item already on the list)
Entry: Suggestion: Advertisement

Final remarks: The toy industry is happy about today's announcement.

Contest Idea 1: Help poor Farmer Joe find a use for his chickens.
-(Currently chickens are useless, the only theoretical use for them is a supply quest)
Contest Idea 2: Nations abroad require ridiculous amounts of goods, brainstorm new quests which can be contributed to by all companies
-(Basically shared quests which everyone contributes to, completion results in a global reward with a bonus to those who contributed more)
Contest Idea 3: A foreign Fast Food (or other restaurant) from United General Corp. is trying to open in Econosia but there current name doesn't sit well with the people of Econosia (maybe because it means "Make you Sick" in their language) - brainstorm what the companies new name should be
-(My thoughts behind this is a chain which requires maybe different goods to thrive, similar to export but it requires a limited amount and you can see its progress as it expands in Econosia)

Idea 1: farmers seek help
Idea 2: Earth is being attacked.
Idea 3: A giant discovery

Idea 1 is what i mean like this: (farmer_name) needs (Product_name) you need 100-100000 of them (diffrent depending on speed)
Idea 2 is that earth gets attacked by aliens, we need to stop the invasion by having toy guns.
Idea 3 is the discovery of an legendary or ancient item like that 2012 things. (I believe that isn't true though)

Contest Idea 4: The Invisible Hand has approached you and offered you their shady and foul services, what could they possibly offer you? And what could happen if you accept their offer.
-You can pay money to obtain shady deals or other things that would benefit the company, the contest would be to come up with the deals they offer and what might happen if you are caught

Contest Idea 5: Rumors of new technologies are spreading like wild fire. What could the new R&D center possibly be and what goods can you research there.
-The contest would be for a new R&D

all these ideas seem to be quests, not contests......

I suggest a contest where everyone submits items for stores that are lacking, i.e. Toy stores, you would have to submit an item, and supporting materials that are already in game, if new material is suggested would need to be one that could be produced by a factory that is lacking in products to produce.

So you could have this:

Contest, Need Items for Toy store, Rules are: 1 item/post, must have supporting Items list, price suggestion, and description.

Reward: xxxinfluence/item that is going to be used.

Special reward: xxxinfluence, and Player Name on item.

On A side note I thought it was one entry/player.

lol scott seems like it :P I post alot mostly because i think alot though, and when i notice you like some part of my idea, i then like to elaborate on it :D and I spam your inbox because I think of things after i click send :P

Again though guys, this is for future Contest Idea's not to post new game concepts, but ideas for contest where we compete for influence not actual game bonuses or quests. so come up with new ideas for Scott to Hold a contest.

I'm glad there's so much activity here, and just to comment on the off-topic posts first:

To Henrik: Kapilands turned out to be one of my longest played online games ever - my normal "stay" in a new game is between 5 minutes to 3 days. I'm sure you are able to notice its influence on this game. :-P

To Megatron: Yup, off-topic but fun idea - indeed it is possible to treat the service sector as stores too.

To Garry: Thanks for posting the clarification, but if you keep reading my mind and posting before me instead of waiting for me to do it, we'll just get more and more people sending me messages with: "You and Garry are the same person, don't you deny it."

Title: Advertisement

Explanation:

what about we have an advertisement type of thing in the game to boost the store sales for a defined period.

for example, you have to pay 1 Million as advertisement expenditure to sell 20% more in the next click or the next 4 clicks.

something like that.

Scott: ROFL that was really good.....

Everyone else: the ideas are great ideas, but think contest and reward = influence and influence=instant construction! so think of a good way to get influence! don't give away your ideas but tell scott to setup a contest that your idea will win!

Maverick Kahn: AWESOME idea love it!
