Gem Trading Circles

Gem Trading Circle - a group of members willing to participate in spending their gems at the other particpating members' markets

Point of this initial post - to see if anybody would be willing to participate in such a circle. Reason: Honestly, tired of always spending gems at markets posted on the stream and not receiving return visits. This circle would ensure that your gems are spent on people who not only have a use for them, but will visit you in return.

Operation of the Circle - at each collection, participating member would spend their collected gems at the market of the next member on their list's rotation

Example 1: (Explained)
Say there are 5 people wanting to participate in a trading circle, persons A B C D and E. On first collection, Person A spends at B's market. On second collection, A spends at C's market. Third collection -> A at D, fourt collection -> A at E. For the fifth collection, circle restarts and Person A returns to Person B's market to spend gems.

It doesn't have to be strict everybody on same market same day, any collection times can be missed.

Example 1: (Diagram illustrating above)

	Collect 1	Collect 2	Collect 3	Collect 4	Collect 5	Collect 6	Collect 7	Collect 8
Person A	B	C	D	E	B	C	D	E
Person B	A	C	D	E	A	C	D	E
Person C	A		B		D		E	A
Person D	A	B	C		E	A	B
Person E	A	B		C		D		A

I'd be willing to upkeep this thread if there was interest in this idea.

How it'd work more explicitly: I'd manage a list at the bottom of this post. The list would contain members of the GTC (Gem Trading Circle), and their respect market links. Everytime you, as a GTC member, collect your gems on CA, you can check the list on this post and click the link for the market of the next person to spend your gems at. Example, as above, if you spent your gems at Person B's market last time, you'll click on Person C's market this time to spend gems. Once you reach the end of the list, you start over at beginning.

No strict rules since everybody has their own life and time schedules. If you miss a collection, or even a few, it's ok, just try to pick up where you left off.

The group will be organized with good faith in its members - meaning that we'll have the faith that you are still active and spending at markets. There'll be no way to enforce or keep track of what members of this group are doing, so it'll be very loose. But I believe it will but exponentially more effective than spending at people's markets on their stream, commenting on it, and rarely receiving return visits.

Note: [VK]†D☢Man†Warlord does have a thread on Market Squares, but hasn't been updated with other markets on the list since there are 12 on the table but 34 in replies.

If you are interested in this and reply, I also suggest making sure your market link is on that thread too.

Just message me by myspace mail if you want a visit. Does anyone know how to check who visits you?

There is no way to check. It is the honor system.

It would make it easy to know who you should return the favour too if you knew rather than a random search for a blue, red, black etc friend buying from you.
