Our society (Demon Tigers) has something we call Soc Bank.
Basically, when several soc members agree, a team hunt is turned into a “Soc hunt”. In these hunts, leader takes all items and money is equally split. All those items go to the society bank. The bank is kept by soc members, mainly the leader.
Then, from time to time, the soc pays for space trips, missions, or just good old cash to the members.
This was the main reason why I joined this soc. It lets us have our little dreams about buying a hangar or a land area with the banks money in the future…
It involves trust issues, and might bring problems when not everybody in the soc deposits and plays for fun.
We have a soc bank (Miners of the Mountains). I was totally against it when the idea was first raised although the higher ups where keen to point out loads of plus sides to it. The main one being that it could be used to fund soc events or to help the soc take advantage of new trends. I’m still 50/50 on it so i voted yes and no
We broke it down like this, new members dont have to pay until they complete their mentorship, at which point they do have to pay. I’m a slow slug so months on I’m still a desciple, I think trying a bit of everything didnt help me here hehe. I will pay the monthly soc bank fee when I graduate as I like my soc and it would suck to get booted over some trivially small amount, I think its something small like 10-20ped a month. o and you cant withdraw from it except when its done as a soc bank event i.e. we as a group buy something or pay for something.
One point I’m not psyked about is that if you dont pay then you get booted out of the soc. That kinda takes some of the fun out of it. One of my main narks with it was that Im not interested in the soc bank events that have been proposed like trips to CND and buying an apartment. The way I see it is that if i want to go to CND then I can make my own way there. I dont think its fair that I should pay money into the bank only to have other people take advantage of it, like with the CND event, I wouldnt be going but others would so wheres my compensation? What guarantee do I have that any of the soc bank events would be to my taste? What about just simple things like when an event is to occur at a time that I cant make it? See theres loads of quirks with it.
A major major plus side is if the soc do something cool like buy a spaceship or a shop. I thought a shop was a great idea since the entire soc could sell their randomly looted junk in one place. As long as the soc member who owned the deed could be trusted to keep track of who was selling what etc. Another kickass reason is to help one or more members to become better crafters so they can craft weapons/armour/tools for the soc for no additional charge.
