@LokiLeo789 Uh my dude has done nothing that the computer says he does? The stolen goods were from before I finalized my profile. And I sorta don't think it's cool of you to introduce the shop like that? Like, I was planning to do it 'cause it's kinda important to my dude's character.

*scribbles 'dialogue and mutual understanding of goals is critical to collaborative storytelling' on a piece of card*

*holds up sign*

Anyway, we're getting a reasonable number of people now so I'm gonna have Giggles bail from this tired-ass 'meet in a bar' trope so we can separate the conversations and have a clearer post order.



ed: So Giggles has a little sleight of hand up his sleeve and has pegged Marco for a potential anarchist.

also settling on a text colour is hard

Heads up that Giggles isn't against rounding up all the other angry proles in this city and hauling a shit tonne of ass. He just wouldn't do it for that particular reason.

Jesus how am I going to keep track of all this.

I have no clue what's going on.

Just for clarity, the price Diana is charging is roughly equivalent to half a million US dollars, using the exchange rate mentioned before (assuming I counted the 0s correctly).

I feel like that exchange rate needs to be adjusted. That's a pretty terrible currency for a place like to UFP to have.

@Silvan Haven relative to what?

If we keep comparing it to real currencies (inadvisable), it's considerably stronger than the Yen, the Ruble or the Rupee. Inflation's probably been going on for a lot longer around here too- But a Federation credit is still stronger against today's dollar than today's dollar is against a 1900 dollar.

Not to mention the price of goods have probably changed quite a bit, given that production is faster and cheaper.

Maybe just have it at a level where people don't have to go digging through pages to find some sort of conversion table.

It's ~twenty to one. Bam, simple.

I'm good with that, but if so, I'd like to edit the price I gave earlier. If my maths is right, I'm only charging $300,000, and a cyborg's gotta make a living somehow.

And there we have our conversion table for the ridiculously inflated currency.

I mean, the ratio's right there on the first page. 60 : 1100. That's just above 1 : 20 and six times stronger than the Japanese Yen is now.

Maybe you could've just asked someone to edit the specifics into the front page instead of griping?

But why does it have to be that terrible, arbitrary and unnecessarily complicated ratio?

If literally just multiplying by twenty is terrible and complicated for you, I'm sorry.

The ratio is arbitrary because it can afford to be. It's simple and it's realistic, and I don't want the in-game currency to be a lame ripoff of the dollar or pound that most English writers are used to.

If you'd rather write a fictional world whose subtle details are actually just a copy of what you see every day, suit yourself.

@JaceBeleren

Word of warning, your character is likely dead due to her action in your most recent post. So we should talk it before both of us post any further.

Your dude and Jace's dude are both tier 3, so I'd think it could go either way.

It's not the tier that matters in this case then, it's the skills that the characters possess in tow. And by all accounts, Mal outperforms.
