Photography Job

The following information are just ideas that I tend to develop or let down if none are keen about it:
How it will work:

The job starts with a player buying a camera then heads out to the open era world to find NPCs around the map, when found the NPC will send a message saying as an example:"HELP! I've heard that my girlfriend is cheating on me with someone else! Can you help me catch her? Take a picture of her and the other noob guy, I heard they're in dippin donuts having a date! Bring me back the photograph for some cash."

The player heads out to the given location finds the girl and the noob sitting next to each other then takes a photograph of them (optional: the girl will turn to a maniac and attack the player so The player dies and loses the picture) once the picture is taken he heads back to the guy in need of help and gets his rewards with a few thankful words or him stating that he will break up with her.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE for the variety of the stories ,same same, player goes to someone which says "HELP! I can't find a good picture for the cover of era newspaper! The deadline is tomorrow! Can you bring me a good picture? The theme is animals so I'm thinking of the gorilla in southride, bring me the picture for some cash, HURRY!"
Player goes takes picture then comes back to the guy with money.

How are the items made?

The camera is basically a gun that shoots lights instead of bullets (non harmful to players as we don't see the bullets)
Flashlight + camera looking gun + camera sound and Gani = camera gun that simulates a picture taken.

The NPCs are the same as the car mission NPCs or the mail job, get the job-> do the job-> get paid.

Why do we need this?

A couple of threads were made recently about jobs being boring and the need of a new Job, this job can add a huge amount of original situations where taking a picture is in need

Is it a lot of work?

Not necessarily, you only need 1 gun and 1 sound and 1 Gani, the scripts are similar to the other jobs, the only difference is the stories they send and the original reactions of the people that gets their photo taken

Can It be abused?

Macros won't work with this kind of job as each time they have to do something else and it won't be given immediately after the first job was done. The picture given cannot be traded so scams can't happen.

What should I do as a player/person reading this thread?

If you agree or disagree with the idea show me your thoughts in the replies and put your vote in the poll

Sounds much more interesting than most jobs, expecially if there's a bunch of unique storylines. I like the idea :D

We.... Need this.... Now... But what is the monetary price per picture here?

As much as the makers of the job think is the right price

I like this idea

I like this, but having so many npc's spawn around the map might because everyone's trying to do this job, cause some lag.

Yussss

Hello, Take the picture for Chicken Girls to earn gralats

Hmm

- - - Updated - - -

Then you have a photo gallery in your settings and you pick the best picture with the best quality or proof

The npc pays you more for the most proof or better quality or if you have bad quality or proof he pays you less etc

Nice idea! I support

So many ideas not enough scriptwriters

Sounds to easy something bad needs to happen when you take the picture example when you take the picture of a gorilla he will hate the flash and attack same with cheating girlfriend But, I love the idea
Also when your saying "noon" are you meaning to say "noob"?

Sounds good, but it sounds like another mailing job. It's more like a detective kind of job, right? Therefore, one picture wouldn't be enough. Probably investigation is needed. Clearly the job will pay out! But it shouldn't be any stupid commentary like "Help! My boyfriend is cheating on me! omg #scared." No. Sure this idea can be a job, but I also believe it should be working as a daily/weekly quest or something like that.

Just a quest idea with camera.

 Spoiler

For example,
Ross wants Kendrick (the player) to find out why Speedy Pizza's money is going lost.

Kendrick goes inside Speedy Pizza to talk to Lucaro, the owner of SP. Kenny gets an image of the man who stole the money drinking at a pub. So Kenny goes to all the pubs in iEra and talk to their managers to see if they've seen the guy.

One of them has, next clue.

Clue after clue, to a puzzle, and then match up with the guy who stole the money.

Obviously it wasn't a noob, it was a member of a family gang. Thus, Kenny has to massacre everyone and get the money back to Lucaro. After that, Kenny gets a tip from Lucaro, like $100-$500 and gets paid by the head of Police. $1.5k Gs or more.

If it's a long quest, then it should be more than $1.5k.

Eh, it should be a weekly quest, now that I think of it. But knowing iEra with its low amount of scriptors, that won't happen.

I like that story and I would like quests but for the sake of the low amount of scriptors it's best to keep the job simple, maybe turn it into "I believe someone has stolen speedy pizzas' earnings! He has hidden the money somewhere, the only way to get it back is to blackmail him! take a picture of him doing something embarrassing and bring the picture to me! It was rumored that he's currently in astro's pool swimming with inflatable rings."
