I think that this should be instituted for the guild leader, and perhaps the next level down, for a couple of reasons.
1. when the wherehouse gets filled with on type of resource, it'd be nice to be able to pull a bunch out, so the guild could keep contributing, and you can then either sell or give that flesh to someone making flesh golems for the guild.
2. giving it to the clan golem makers to help beef up the clan golems.
3. if someone is in dire need of some reasource, they can ask the guild leader to pull some out for them.
If this was only given to clan leader, then the ability to abuse it really isn't that great, so it would only be a benefit. |

| I had a gut reaction against this, but when it comes down to it there isn't much by way of abuse that could come from being able to pull resources. I can't much object. |

i could see the obvious abuse in this.
Maybe putting the extra resources up for sale and any money you get will be paid directly to the clan's piggy bank |

Would this require a Clan level trading system? Or enable the Clan to be the selling/purchasing agent in the market?
If the Clan is the purchaser in the market, then whatever is exchanged would go into the Clan warehouse, like it does now to the individual Magi's storage bin.
If Kep decides to set up a Clan only Resource Exchange, the mechanics would purobably be the same,since I think the same coding used for the market would work. Although I think that a brokers fee of some sort should be added, maybe the stereotypical 10%. The RPer in me speaking up. :) |

I trust my Sovereign Magistrate to use resources properly-- that's why I donate them, and that's why I belong to the clan in the first place. Whether it's for building upgrades, making items, giving some bone to a needy clanmate, or selling excess materials on the market, I have faith that the guy will do what's right for the clan.
Not every resource is used for items currently, or in large numbers. Say, we have a surplus of donated gems but are very short on exotic metals. We have no way to pull the gems for conversion. They're effectively wasted. Same with anyone who donated adamantine.
The guy running the show should have the keys to the warehouse. |

| I agree with Caduceaus. There should be some sort of system to get unused/unusable resources out of the warehouse. Even if it is to just return them to the magus who donated them. |

I'd say that this sounds like something that could be easily done with the transfer office. Have an area reserved for the clan head that doesn't show up for others. It would allow a transfer from the warehouse to that particular member.
And of course, the abuse would be visible as it would show up in the activity report. Sort of hard to embezzle when the books are public. |

Oh yeah, have the higher ranking members of the clan (either just SM, or SM and Arch, or something) be able to give clan resources to a particular member. Say we've got someone making armor to outfit our clan's golems, we should be able to send some of our clan's stockpile of iron to them if we don't need it for the clan just yet. |

I like this idea.
If someone needs to upgrade something. (workshop for example) They may need 3500 wood, why should they buy it when it is in the clan wherehouse?
They join a clan to help and be helped. Its a good idea that makes sense.
Also, there are things (flesh as an example) that get used less than others, so why not use what you don't need effectively by giving it to a player who wants to make flesh golems, or leather straps.
Things that were used as examples were just examples. Carlsberg don't do adverts after all. |
