Medical Vending Machine
#16
I think I'll set up a vending machine with really expensive basic medicines and some hokey sketchy shit. Gimme an evening or two to set that up, we'll see how it works out, if the doctors hate it I'll just scrap it and try something else.

WOAH mozi is an admin now?

A public medical vendor is a good idea. Vending machines that sell a variety of useful but not deadly stuff at high prices would probably make people care about money more.

A vendor that sold PDAs and PDA cartridges and modules might be nice.
#19
Maybe turn the Public market into an actual market with vending machines carrying various types of items at varying prices?

thank goodness for low standards :ugeek:

There's definitely potential for a lot of different vending machine types or kiosks or whatnot now that folks mention it. To maintain some semblance of balance you'd want to make the cost a lot more than what a similar item could be acquired for at the QM (or else they'd feel even more useless than they currently do!)

Maybe whichever rad coder puts this in could make it log activity so the finance nerd in me could use that data to think of ways to balance costs & the rest of the money supply.

One potentially cool application I see for this is in gang mode. Folks have suggested in the past that it would be rad if gangs would "shake down" random civilians for money, but then again, what would the gang currently use that money for? If this (these?) were implemented they would pool their money together to build up a little stockpile of meds and equipment in their club house in case the QM and Doctors don't feel like cooperating with a gang-- or have been taken over by rivals!

Here's a stupid but funny idea, perhaps the HOP should be able to control vending machine prices through their office, they can cut prices to extra high or low, (or even free) during times of crises, or just to be a jerk and refund the money into research or something, and play station economy dictator, alternatively they can highjack the prices to extra high to keep people from getting medical supplies or something as traitor.
#23
Maybe Gangs should have a thing like a traitor PDA that they have to funnel money into to get items.

That might be a terrible idea though since the gang that managed to get the HoP would probably win.

About the kiosks idea,
This would be really really great thing for QM's (and less the HoP) if QM's were in charge of stockpiling these kiosks, it would give QM's something to do.
So like when QM's swipe their ID card off it, it means that they insert items (or stuff it in if it was coded like crate) then swipe it to lock it.

And of course somebody is going to forget to log out and that round everyone will mysteriously have addictions to medical drugs.

This sounds amazing, please make sure bath salts are available when hacked.

on the idea of gangs shaking people for money, Someone could set up a protection racket, where gang members don't assault people or mess with departments that give them money, or offer protection from other gangs.

God no, bath salts are a terrible drug that is confined to only a few known chemists, and it should stay the way of experimenting with DD alot. It pays homage to the original bath salts, which are harmful and give you bad trips.

But it would be interesting a traitor QM swiping the card, then replacing all the bicardine syringes with toxin syringes, replacing all the oxygen tanks with tanks full of knockout gas, replacing insulated gloves with.. monkeys. Fuck, just replace everything with monkeys.
