Ok, this thread

http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/3/16439

Was really about the ability of Guilds to hold a bank account. I decided to make a new thread, so that all the desired Guild Bank account functionality we could want would be in one easy to find place.

So for starters, I would like to see the following abilities in a guild account.

Any guild member can transfer to the account.
Any council or lieutenant can transfer out of account.
The account can have a default Guild tax on all profits assigned by the guild leader.
A guild member accessible website page that displayed along with the player name and position, their total contributions and withdrawals from the Guild account.

I like the idea and it looks like sometime down the road that will be awesome. I see no real abuse potential unless guild leaders want to be whore mongers. But nonetheless excellent!

What is this guild tax for anyway?

Yes, a bank should be a guild-standard thing. Even non-guild members could deposit money in the bank, and the money gains interest jut like a normal bank, by the bank investing in nations/factions/products/players. The guild commander could be the fund manager or alternatively appoint someone.

I'd love to have a bank be part of every guild structure, we could pay to put ATM's in stations, offer attractive financing options for those n00bs who want a loan, etc.

This should be implemented as part of any new economy redeux.

and have the ability to put any debt that accumulates in the guild bank account into a separate account that is only visible to the commander of the guild.

Dear lord, that was stupid of me. Never even noticed a sticky for the guilds before. I have read all the toys, and I even did a search on guild, and bank, and a couple of other things.

Wow.

Just to answer the question on tax. The tax would be an automated way to charge fees for being a member of the guild. It would be optional, but allow the leadership to control how much players needed to contribute for group causes.

A marxist guild would set the tax to 100% and allow all members unlimited access to guild funds.

if that were so then there would need to be logs of all transactions viewable to guild members.
