New TCCP Informat
New TCCP Information
Mag Fan and I are excited to bring back and start a new TCCP Project! For those of you who do not know what TCCP is, it stands for The Cricket Currency Project. You can set up your own stores and restaurants by submitting business info using the form below, and other participants of the TCCP can check out your businesses. Both of us have never participated in the previous TCCP, but we are willing to give it a try and start a new one ourselves. If you would like to participate in the TCCP, please fill out the form below to start your business. It is important to read this entire post before registering!
All starting participants will start out with $200,000. It costs money to start your business, buy inventory, and buy things from other Chatterboxers' shops and restaurants. A small building costs $2,000, a medium building costs $4,000, and a large building costs $5,000. It is obvious, but note that you are not using real money for the TCCP!
We are in need of people who are willing to start a bank in order to keep track of everyone's money. We also are in need of a person to start an information desk, where TCCP participants may ask any questions about TCCP. If you are willing to do so, please let me or Mag Fan know.
TCCP will last for about one month, to the end of February. If the project continues to work, we can extend the length of time that the TCCP will last.
Please fill out the following form if you would like to start your own business and participate in this new TCCP project. You can start building your stores AFTER Mag Fan or I approve your business and give you permission.
Alright, let's get this started!

Just a reminder...
The Bank will be set up Monday by me. It will be owned by Madeline and Lionreader. Even though they will be adding up interest each day and keeping track of everyone's payments, each TCCP participant is responsible for deducting money from their account every time a payment to a store or restaurant is made.
The Information Desk will be set up me as well on Monday. It will be owned by me and Mag Fan, the starters of this new TCCP. It's the place to go if you have any questions about TCCP or businesses.
TCCP Businesses can be built on Monday. You can start your stores in a diffferent post in Chirp at Cricket, please.

Madeline (and I know this is giving away something on a different thread... but...) has a pet unigorse!! Don't know what that is? Surf the threads. You'll surely find it (not in this section, though). She even has a drawing of her unigorse at her house!!!

Before I approve your business, I have one question: Do you sell everything or just certain things? Captcha says crib. Maybe it's a girl and she's had a baby! ;P
(February 2, 2014 - 6:56 pm)
We sell EVERYTHING! :) It's really easy when you have a unigorse as a pet. Pity you don't--their location is classified. The mountain peoples are very strict with protecting their home animal.

T H E B A N K :
When you buy a building, that money goes to the bank, right (Like, we could just assume that the bank is in charge of the buildings)? If so, the bank currently has $16,000 available for loan. Interest rate 1¢ an hour.
