Roleplaying System for Tenders and Events of Ca'onja

WORK IN PROGRESS

The Roleplaying System for Tenders and Events of Ca'onja (ROSTEC) is a system for roleplaying in tenders and events related to Ca'onja. The system is inspired by the game mechanics of tabletop roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons.

For transparency, this website will be used to generate the numbers.

How It Works
There are three stages to ROSTEC: Bidding Stage, Management Stage and Completion Stage. The 3 stages are dependent on one another, so any actions conducted in one of the stage will also affect the other stages.

Bidding Stage
The Bidding Stage is where interested companies bid for tenders put up by any Ca'onjaian entities (e.g. Government Ministries, Companies, etc.). The bidding is performed by submitting the Bidding Form privately (i.e. sent via private message) within the stipulated time period. To encourage healthy competition, any bids submitted publicly may be disqualified per discretion by the Ca'onjaian entity. After the time period, all bids received will be publicly announced. The tender will then be awarded to one of the bids put forth.

There are currently three types of tenders: construction, operation and both combined. Only Construction Tenders are available.

The awarding of a tender is determined by a random number generator between 1 to 100 against your Bidding Score Range (BSR). Should there be only 1 bid for the tender, the tender is automatically awarded to the bidder. Should there be more than 1 bid, a number will be generated for each bid. If the number falls within the BSR, the bid goes to the next round. This is repeated until there is 1 winner for the tender.

Tender Sample
Tender Type: Construction

Project Title: A123 (Constructing a suspension bridge over a river)

Tender Duration: 36 months (January 2001 - January 2004)

Length: 10 km

Base Cost per Length: $100 million per km Bidding Period: 1 December 2000 - 14 December 2000

Bidding Form
See Components for details.

Bidding Score Range
The BSR of the bidding company ranges from 1 to the BSR Max, which can be any number between 2 to 100. The BSR Max is determined according to the preference stated on the Bidding Form. By default, the BSR Max is 50.

Management Stage
Once the tenders have been awarded, the Management Stage will commence. On the last week of every month during the tender period, a ROSTEC Report will be published on the Ca'onja forum board. A private message will also be sent to all tendered companies notifying the publishing of the Report. The Report will detail a list of events that had happened within the purview of the tendered company (e.g. accidents happened within the company's construction site). The company must then act to respond to the events. Failure to do so repeatedly will result in the termination of the tender and the company will be blacklisted from future tenders. See Events below.

The event generation is determined by the tendered company's BSR. Three numbers will be generated for each project undertaken by the tendered company.
 * The Event Number (E), between 1 to 100, determines if an event had happened within the vicinity of the project site. No event will happen should the number falls outside of the range.
 * The Type Number (T), between 1 to 2, determines the type of event that occurred within the vicinity of the project site.
 * The Severity Number (S), between 1 to 20, determines severity of the event that occurred within the vicinity of the project site.

ROSTEC Report Sample
Country: Alphaland

Company: Alpha Building Company (AB Company)

Collaboration: Local Bravo Company (LB Company) (50%)

Project: A123 (Constructing a suspension bridge over a river)

BSR: 1-50

Numbers Generated: E-60, T-1, S-3

Event Happened: An improper excavation in preparation for a future road diversion caused a water pipe to burst, affecting water supply to the nearby community.

Immediate Action Taken: $10 million is required to cover for the repairs and damages cost. 50% of the cost will be covered by LB Company, while the other 50% ($5 million) will be withdrawn from the EPF.

Remaining EPF: $45 million

Further Action Required: No further action required. AB Company may top-up the EPF if deemed necessary.

Completion Stage
Once the tender period ends, all tendered companies will have their respective score adjusted according to the actions taken during the tender period. This score will affect the chance of the company winning future tenders put forth by Ca'onja.

Company Name
The name of the company bidding for the tender. If the bidding company bid under a different name in the past, please indicate so on the form so its profile can be brought over.

Country
The country of origin of the bidding company. This is ensure that the Country Score is calculated into the bidding company's BSR. To prevent monopolisation, no country can have more than 40% of the active tenders.

Construction

 * C1 - Equipment and Materials: Indicate the quality of the equipment and materials the bidding company will use during construction.
 * C2 - Safety Measures: Indicate the safety measures the bidding company will use during construction.

Investment

 * I1 - Collaboration with Local Companies: Indicate the level of investment that the bidding company will be investing in Ca'onjaian companies.
 * I2 - Hiring Citizens of Ca'onja: Indicate the percentage of Ca'onjaian citizens of the workforce that the bidding company will hire.

Social

 * S1 - Community Engagement: Indicate the bidding company's level of engagement with the communities that will be affected by the tender.
 * S2 - Nature Sensitivity: Indicate the bidding company's effort to minimise the environmental impact caused by the tender.

Events Preparedness Fund
Bidding companies must include an Events Preparedness Fund (EPF) into the bid. The EPF will be use to cover the cost caused by events that happened within the vicinity of the project site should the bidding company be awarded the tender. Any remaining EPF at the end of the tender period can be kept as company profits.

National Events
National Events are events that will affect all project sites of the affected region. For every National Event that occurred within the month, an additional Local Event will happen within the project site respective to the Severity Index range of the National Event.

Earthquake and Tsunami
Damages caused by earthquakes and the accompanied tsunamis will be determined according to its intensity. The data by the USGS "ShakeMap" will be used as a point of reference. Discretion will be applied.

Tropical Cyclone
Damages caused by tropical cyclones will be determined according to its intensity. Data by the Severe Weather Information Centre and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center will be used as a point of reference. Discretion will be applied.

Special Events

 * Corruption
 * Disease Outbreak
 * Labour Strike
 * Unexploded Bomb
