Re: [Audyssey] Park boss report.
Hi all Thomas is spot on here. The park report is not inaccurate, it just doesn't look at the human side of running a business. Also, you can pay the staff the suggested wages, they won't be happy but they won't strike unless you get more visitors. In terms of negotiation, all you have to do is adjust their pay. They'll go back to work and will let you know if the change is good enough. I've tried to make the staff expectations realistic. Entertainers are normally quite high paid, think actors and musicians. Maintenance staff are genera pretty well skilled and includes people like safety assesses as well as the engineers that keep your rides running. Ride operators are generally unskilled and quite often temps or students. Hope this clarifies things. Nick. > On 6 Oct 2014, at 03:04, Thomas Ward wrote: > > Hi Lori, > > Perhaps.

Re: [Audyssey] Park boss report.
Hi Lori, One way to help with keeping yourself out of the red is by slightly raising meal and snack prices. Meal and snack prices will be your main source of income so finding out how much your customers will pay will help as far as currency goes. Another way to help increase profit is find ways to get more customers such as paper and radio adds if you can afford them. Sometimes they will get you nothing and sometimes you may pull in an extra couple hundred customers per week. P.S. As for Steve Jobs he was the former CEO of Apple. However, he died a few months back.

Re: [Audyssey] Park boss report.
Hi Hayden, Depends on how popular your park is. Firing your entertainers may cause a drop in customer satisfaction and you may experience a few less customers, but I haven't noticed anything so bad I absolutely had to hire them back. If they wanted too much money I found I was better off without them than with them. My outgoing expenses went way down and I could afford some loss in customer sales.

Re: [Audyssey] Park boss report.
Hi Lori, Perhaps. However, somehow I don't think that will change things much. The consultants only look at the bottom line, what financially would be best for your park, but totally exclude or overlook the human element in their suggestions. For example, if the consultants say your employees should only be paid 3 per hour it is technically correct based on your income, number of customers, etc but not necessarily something your employees would agree to. They may have expectations of earning a wage much higher than that like 8 or 9 per hour, and as the boss it is your job to try and negotiate a wage somewhere between what they want and what the consultants suggest would be financially feasible for your park. So firing the consultants would not do you much good since they are just going to give you the bare minimums when suggesting wages, ticket prices, etc. As long as you know in advance that their suggestions are going to be a little low you can try and increase ticket prices and wages by a couple of pounds over what they suggest to try and find the happy medium.

Re: [Audyssey] Park boss report.
Hi Desiree, I happen to agree with you. I think wages should be allowed to be in creased in smaller amounts than just pounds, and yes the UK does have change. They call their coins by different names than the US currency, but I think for simplicity sake Nick chose to round up or down to the nearest pound.

[Audyssey] Audiogames.net and forum down?
Hi, I can't reach the audiogames.net website and the forum. It still worked for me about two hours ago. Is anyone else able to reach the site or does know what the problem might be? And just in case anyone feels like complaining because I'm sending this to the list instead of the site owner. First I don't have any contacts from them right now and obviously can't get them when the site doesn't work. And second, I also want to know if I'm the only one who can't reach the site or if it's a general problem. I just say this because this kind of thing caused a quite long and tedious discussion last time, which is not at all what I want here.

Re: [Audyssey] suggestion for park boss
Hi Emily, The game isn't that sophisticated. If you build a kids roller-coaster the only thing you can decide is where to put it on your park's map. Other than that you can't name it, decide number of passengers, number of loops, etc. There is no way to modify the basic template.

I agree. The way it stands now, even if you put more than, say, one roller coaster in, it feels like you're just putting two of the same coaster in, because you can't personalize them at all.

Re: [Audyssey] Park boss report.
Hi, I think the concept is that if you raise the wage just a bit, say half of what they're asking for, that's negotiating. But I agree that this needs to be more well-defined in the documentation, or a feature should be added in which you talk to your employees and ask them what they want. It also occurs to me, now that I'm on this subject, that wages should be able to be increased in smaller increments than just a dollar more or less. Pardon my ignorance, but I'm not sure if this can be done in UK currency or not. Much as we have dollars and cents here in the US, are there smaller denominations than just pounds? I feel really silly even asking that, but there you have it.

Re: [Audyssey] Park boss report.
Honestly, I've never once generated a park report. Granted, my first park went bankrupt at sometime around week 65, because I couldn't seem to balance my prices. My second one...

Hi Thomas, You mentioned that after striking, the employees wanted more than they were being paid before you dropped your wages--something which brought to mind an interesting phrase at the end of the strike eMails. If you recall, it is mentioned that the wage might be negociable. I can't tell if this is simply fluff, or if wage prices are, in some way, actually megociable.

Namely if all attractions start out with a generic name and there is a way to edit the profile for each attraction and give it your own name and have it spoken by Sapi the copyright holders never need know about it. Chances are they wouldn't know about it unless it was made public somehow. So being able to edit and change the names of the rides yourself need not be a big problem with copyrights and trademarks since it wouldn't officially be a part of the game.

Re: [Audyssey] Park boss report.
Hi Thomas, odd that the park reports are so unrelyable, those darned entertainers went on strike, wish I could sue them for neglect of duties. :) The strange thing is, even though I've encreased ticket prices, I still amen't making enough money to keep myself from going into overdraft. My ticket prices and snacks are set at fair, but I'm still paying out more than is coming in. It's really frustrating! I don't even know who Steve Jobs is, perhaps nick should have made it Bill Gates instead. :) -Original Message- From: Thomas Ward Sent: Sunday, October 05, 2014 4:11 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Park boss report. Hi Lori, Well, if you haven't figured this out yet the Park Reports aren't always accurate. What I mean by that they tend to underestimate things like wages, and it is really up to you to find the perfect wage for your employees. If you try to give them the bare minimum, which is what the park report suggests, then of course they will strike. What I do is I try and pay the employees a pound or two more than the minimum wage suggestion which usually keeps them from striking. So if the park report says pay operators 3 per hour pay them 5 per hour just to be on the safe side. Same goes for toilets. I think it suggests one toilet per so many hundred people so if you aren't getting that many the park report tells you to remove it. Common sense, or logic, should tell you that you need at least one else people will complain and customer satisfaction will go down. So this is a case of use your common sense rather than listening to the park reports which aren't always accurate. Cheers!

Anyway, here is the report. Message from the Park Consultants: Here's our report. Given your visiter levels its suggested your entertainers should be payed 3 per hour. Given your visiter levels its suggested your park operators should be payed 3 per hour. Given your visiter levels its suggested your maintenance staff should be payed 3 per hour. The rides and attractions in the park have been assessed, the attractions have been given a draw factor of 20. use your park weekly report from the park stats you get to make sure all attractions are running. You have a good level of customer services for the number of guests you currently attract. Given your visiter numbers you should provide 0 toylets at your park, you currently have 1. given the current draw factor of your park we'd suggest setting your ticket price to around 7. also, consider a temporary drop in price to attract more visiters to make more money. Its suggested that a meal price of around 9 a quater of all your guests will have a meal at the park and a snack price of around 2 will cause around half of your guests to have a snack. I also don't have the options of building snack stands yet, though i have built a gift shop, and when I took the toilets away, I also got complaints.

Re: [Audyssey] Park boss report.
Hi Thomas, perhaps we should have the option to fire and employ new consultents. :) -Original Message- From: Thomas Ward Sent: Sunday, October 05, 2014 4:26 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Park boss report. Hi Hayden, Same here. The first couple of parks I created I followed the park reports rather faithfully and every time I took one of its suggestions I ended up making the situation worse instead of better. I found out through a little trial and error to use my own common sense and pay people a wage I thought they should be making for their current job rather than listening to the park reports. For example, I remember this one park where I was paying everyone about 8. The park reports told me I was paying them too much and I should pay them 3. So I lowered wages to 3 per person. The next thing I knew all of my employees were on strike and they now wanted 10 per person. I ended up triggering a mass strike all because I followed the park reports' so-called expert advice. I'd been better off to go with my own judgment which was closer to their demands than the park reports were. Cheers!

Just ona whim, I did that for my first park one week, and subsequently every single employee in my park struck. So those numbers don't' really give a realistc report as to what to pay anyone, and that inludes ticket prices.
