[IC] TRAIN SHOP: VOTING POOL

When people slide in their ticket to boot up the shop terminal, there is a button in the corner of the screen that reads 'VOTING'. Selecting this will switch the page over from the main shop to 'VOTING POOL', where a new list emerges. Characters' shop points can be seen, along with how many Votes they have.

Clicking on an option will give characters a chance to vote. If they like, there is also a textbox (with a voice-to-text function) so they can give their own recommendations (certain materials in an art carriage, a preference for a meat in food).

They can buy votes by choosing Buy A Vote or make a request of their own with the 'Submit a Request' option on the bottom of the page.

Characters receive 5 votes every 1 IC month (2 OOC months). They can exchange shop points for votes. 1 vote = 5 shop points. A new character may buy a vote for their first 3 points if they wish but only in their very first ooc month.

Any requests that get their required votes will be fulfilled at the next platform stop.

HOW IT WORKS. There are 3 levels of voting pools, sorted by consumables, upgrades, and carriages. This is how they're defined:
CONSUMABLES. A selection of items to become a permanent part of stock. This could be types of foods (meat) or specific foods (pork), certain medical supplies not already regularly stocked, and materials not too rare or complex.

UPGRADES. Changes to either a specific carriage or to multiple carriages. Such as: More VR games in the games car; an assortment of books added to the library; air conditioning in every carriage, music available in every carriage, etc.

CARRIAGES. New carriages with a particular purpose; can choose from simple fixings to more elaborate furnishings.
Characters can submit a request for certain stock or accommodations, and they will be added to one of the lists. At the start of every IC month (every 2 OOC months), characters are given 5 votes to submit to whatever they like. They can also exchange points into more votes. 1 vote is worth 5 points.

NOTE. They will not be able to change their votes once they're submitted. They cannot revert votes back into points.

VOTE COST. The votes needed to implement anything will vary depending on what's being asked for: how much, how complex it is, what we think is fair. While we'll be calculating to come to a fair ask, below is a general idea.
CONSUMABLES. Small bundle (a mix of herbs, 1-2 staple foods, a couple of medicines): 20 votes
Large bundle (larger variety of foods, medicines; a few of either with 'magical' qualities): 40 votes
Materials (smithing materials, alchemy, fabrics): 60 votes

UPGRADES. Single-carriage upgrade: 25-50 votes
Multiple carriage upgrade: 50-100 votes

CARRIAGES. Simple carriages, repeat of pre-existing carriages: 150-350 votes
Elaborate, energy-taxing carriage: 400+ votes
While the required amount may seem steep in places, this is because the shop still exists! A multiple of characters should really want these permanent additions and changes, or a few to work hard towards them. It will be cheaper and quicker to buy from the shop, but this method will be more rewarding for everyone.

Make sure the kits have stuff in them good for the people who get them. So ghost medicine for ghosts, human medicine for humans.

[ This has become very relevant, recently. ]

Even if it's just a starting kit and only good for one mission. If they know what's good for them, they can buy more of it, or the medics can. ...but refilling a little stock's good, too. Let's not be cheap with our lives.
