this would work like sending credits to someone daily.

It would be useful for renting plots or anything to people without them having to send credits to you every day or week.

How it would work? Well you would type something like "/send user daily credit amount, total credit amount"

Example : /send Intelli 400 4000
Which means send Intelli 400 credits a day until it sends 4000 credits total.

It would be a good way to pay people back for things securily over a period of time. If u dont have enough at the moment.

What happends if they run out of credits? The system will probably wait until they make more credits for a small amount to be sent.

What do u people think? Should the people who pay get to cancel it? Or should the person receiving only have control over that?

I think the person receiving should have control because just like sending credits to someone, your responsible for how much you send.

Great idea, a few suggestions:

1- If the player isn't online for a few days, it builds up.

2- When the player can no longer pay the fund, he/she cannot send credits.

3- This can only be canceled by the receiver, like you said

4- There is an amount specified instead of days, IE: Send intelli 400rc until you have sent 4,000

What you are suggesting is to implement a simplified unix cron system: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron

It would not be easy to program a reliable system.

The sender would have to be able to cancel as well, if this was implemented.
They would also need to be some way of keeping track how much has been paid out to other players as well, some sort of financial summary.
Intervals being daily, weekly or monthly in real life.
But it would be a very useful system to encourage the renting out of properties.
Currently there aren't many incentives for renting out plots, when its far more economically to use the land for raw materials instead.
This could provide a much need stimulus for banks, accomodation and the levying of taxes.

if the reciever had to cancel as well then they could steal from the other a certain amount before it was resolved.
it should be set as an auto command if anything. :/

This has rejected written all over it.

Why? It's a great idea. Granted, there are a few ways it could probably be misused, but I'm sure Intelli would come up with a way to stop people from misusing it.

In my opinion it's a useless addition and it's chocolate. Legit in this case would be an excel spreadsheet and keeping track of who owes you what and when that way. I doubt Intelli will add code to make a renters life easier.
