Hey All,
This was on my mind for a while, but I couldn't foresee if people would like it or not. Well, I am going to give it a try.
Well headline tells it all, contracts. We always see posts from trade chat et cetera that people ask for loans or `investments` with return in interest or as items. What is on my mind is adding a contract feature that will actually enable loans and investments in between players with terms and conditions that are controlled by the game. There can even be specials for creating fake contracts and of course the special to understand if a contract is fake or not.
I have seen that updates are coming to make the game more realistic so I thought this would increase the realisticity of the game and increase the PvP interaction.
It is a bit long shot idea since I, personally, did not create any templates on it.
Cheers,
Koala
Edit:
These contracts depending on the developers can actually include every aspect in the game,
*Revives
*Loans
*Investments
*Periodical stock exchange between people
*Attack lose
*Faction leadership exchange (periodical or direct exchange in between)
This list can be made huge... so I am going to stop here :)

This game has so many business aspects to it that this seems like a natural fit into those concepts.
Just a quick note - you do realise that posts about "loans" or"investments" are basically scams don't you?
As for the contract idea - meh, there's not a whole lot you can do to make a contract "enforceable" in the end, especially when it comes to the exchanging of pixels.
Yeah I do, that is the point. To bring it as a possible feature.
As for the exchanging pixels, you do realize you spend your 5th dimension in this game whenever, wherever you are :) This is a small idea just to have a bit more from Torn. But, I do see your point too.
Thank you for your thoughts :)
I like your idea , rated +
but I suppose you should add more details, I feel what u have suggested is insufficient in terms of details
I will try to create a template :) Thx for the feedback :)
It's just too complicated to implement.
Sounds like a good idea, it gets my vote.
I would also add that if a loan contract negotiated between 2 players cannot be paid back by the borrower how about a clause allowing 'goods to the value of' being seized by the lender - say from the borrowers items list or display case? Maybe their properties would be at risk too. (Just like a real bank).
This is a good idea considering a lot of people play this game like a business simulation for some reason.
