[OOC] Morituri te Salutant: Arkreidian Gladiators

[Kho]

Just making sure you're still here! Glad to see you are, this RP just wouldn't work without our bearded lady dwarf xP
Am working away on lore anyway, so take your time :)

[Harbringer]

That makes two of us. Going to work on the Orc cities next...all one of them. Then theres the ports

[The book of bad juju]

Quick question: How do you feel about banks? Longstanding houses of money and power you don't want to piss off because the bankers hold more power then the de facto rulers of the city or Honest John's fly-by-night wagon 'o cash dealership and betting parlour that's only slightly more safe the tossing your hard-earned dinarii down a well and hoping the fairies will protect it?

[Harbringer]

Both really. There are organised banking houses...then there are shady backalley deals

[The book of bad juju]

Have banks ever been known to fail in the same sense that we understand banks to fail today, that is, by making really insecure deals to people who then just refused to pay?

[Harbringer]

Yeah, but loans which aren't paid are usually paid in blood. Here, it is lawful to hire people and beat the shit out of them for money.

[The book of bad juju]

Although it is a whole lot easier to just dissapear if you really wanted to and had the skills to do it, since there's not quite as much of a paper trail that can lead back to you as an individual.

Of course, you'd have to be desperate to just run like that.

[Harbringer]

True, but the banks would probably want some sort of collateral when a loan is taken anyway.

In other news post will be finished tomorrow.

[The book of bad juju]

Well, yeah. But that's exactly how the 08 started. People thought houses would only get more expensive, but all the banks were left with cheap homes nobody wanted to buy from them that they'd paid millions in loans for.

[Harbringer]

Ahh...those economics classes are coming back to me now...

[Kho]

Hmm, but why this discussion on banking all of a sudden? Planning some bank-related mischief?

[Kho]

Lanista

[The book of bad juju]

Not really. Cog entered into slavery willingly for LOADSAMONEY and she needs somewhere a little bit more safe then a hole in the ground to put it in. Or maybe she takes a gamble and invests the dosh in fledgeling businesses and recoups once she's made enough? I dunno, just thinking aloud.

Also, that pic. Oh i am laffin.

[Harbringer]

Im not sure if the first pic is bison or a commissar

[Kho]

Haha it's Bison xP

[Harbringer]

Tis hard to tell sometimes.

[Kho]

'tis true! Out of all the fantastical worlds out there, Warhammer 40K has always appealed/made more sense to me. Definitely enjoyed having my commissars make examples out of unfortunate squad members when I played a Warhammer 40K PC game back in the day xD

Hmm, might go back to a few of those actually...

[Harbringer]

I play the space marine game occassionally. Multi is fun when you're a devastator.

[Kho]

I haven't played that yet, but seen a few youtube videos. It looks pretty awesome. I tend to stick more with the strategizing of the other WH40K games, like the Dawn of War series

edit: still working on Treemind lore. It turned into a bigger task than I thought xD

[Harbringer]

Ah dawn of war, how many hours have I wasted upon your bastions. I recently picked up company of heroes 2 and it just took me back.
