[OOC] Another "End of the World" Role-play [ReLoAdEd]

[salamimike]

only 30 dollars !
what a bargain !
I don't mind the other items but am I the only one that thought ammunition would be more scarce and so 52 9mm rounds would cost quite a bit?
If I am misinformed and bullets are more abundant (They make them maybe?) Then I withdraw my last comment.

I was under the impression that a common blacksmith would not find making bullets particularly difficult so a settlement of any size likely has a good supply, especially of common rounds like 9mm and whatever AK-47's use.

There should be plenty of sources of metal (rusted cars etc) to be melted down even without mines, and as there is a town militia with guns and we all have guns I find it unlikely that bullets could be that rare.

My intention was for the price to be way over the top but if we are thinking bullets are very rare I'm happy to change it.

edit:
We just made posts at about the same time so I'll just reply here?

My intention is to have been scammed out of a few bullets and the price being too high, so like I have 30 bullets not 52 and I payed way to much for what I've bought (even if I had 52 bullets).

How rare are bullets?
I see how people not in settlements would find it hard to make them etc but in a permanent settlement?
If they are indeed rare then thats fine ofcourse, I will change my post to buy fewer bullets :P

[evershadow]

I understand where you're coming from Sola, and normally I would be of the same opinion. However, TheyMostly made it clear that he was being scammed. :)

Edit: Sorry, didn't see your post before mine there TheyMostly. No, bullets would be a bit more pricey. :P However, it depends on what your going for, bullets from pre-war or the shoddy stuff made by weaponsmiths now. On top of that I was under the impression that you were being scammed as well for much less bullets.

[salamimike]

Ah ok I withdraw my statement :P

TheyMostlyComeAtNight said
whatever AK-47's use.

7.62×39mm

[TheyMostlyComeAtNight]

You edited your post and I edited mine so I'm gonna make a new post to make our conversation linearly time dependent :P

I'm going for shoddy made stuff made by blacksmiths from melted down crap.

I asked for 52 bullets but intended to only have say 30, but if bullets are indeed rare then I'll reduce that to a price where I am being scammed :P

What price have you in mind for your average 9mm bullet?

edit: I take it thats not to scale ;)

[evershadow]

Shoddy made stuff, thirty bullets, thirty dollars, thats a dollar a piece, you've been scammed. xD

[salamimike]

Sounds good normal 9mm 1 dollar
shoddy (usually) 50 cents?

[TheDrunkTank]

TheyMostly do you happen to be taking your names from various candies? xD

[evershadow]

That's what I was thinking in reference to cost.

[TheyMostlyComeAtNight]

Okay sounds good :P if we say shoddy 9mm bullets are 0.50$ then I've been scammed out of approx $12 :P

edit: haha I don't do it on purpose! It's just the names that pop into my head I swear!

[salamimike]

Which is like 6 beers ! :o

[TheyMostlyComeAtNight]

So hows this bandit raid going to go down?

Are they going to be through the militia and over the wall before we can react or are we going to run to the wall and help the militia?

If we run to the wall how can the militia be sure all these outsiders arn't infiltrators? :P

[TheDrunkTank]

At some point do we want to get a price sheet up for all of this general stuff like bullets?

[salamimike]

I wouldn't mind making one if someone else doesn't want to?

[ONL]

Well since I live in a country with nearly no private guns except hunting rifles, I'm not going to jump into the task :P And I would like to join you MostlyCome, though I might have to wait for Primez to slap back at my character before I leave the bar. Or could I possibly bring you back your hat somehow?

[salamimike]

Well I live in the UK so the same kind of thing XD Shotguns and rifles.
Despite this I am interested in guns (Owning shotguns myself) and read up a lot about them.

[TheyMostlyComeAtNight]

hmm, If you go to the general store you could buy it from taffy and then when you met me I'd be like
"mah hat!!"

Or you could just see my fire and come over? It is pretty close to the bar so you could leave and see it as your walking. If you do go for the hat I'm not sure why exactly you'd be trying to buy it is all, unless you yourself want a hat, in which case you could exhort more money from me by selling it back to me when you realize that by chance you have bought my hat and I'm willing to buy it back :P

[salamimike]

Halt.
Who has a shotgun?

[evershadow]

As for the bandit raid, I'll make a post for it when the time is right and you can react as you will. For the price sheet, I had one in the previous versions of this role-play for weapons, items and ammo etc. I'll make up another one if it's what the majority want, it just didn't work out the last time.

[salamimike]

I feel making it up as we go is better for money stuff.
That way it wont slow down the role-play
Also other settlements would have different prices?
