Fake Forum Economy

[Green1]

Go ahead

Since this is an atheism discussion, how about a thread on atheism? After all, it's not a religion.

[Buster's Uncle]

Where shall I start with the surgery, then?

I'm fine with somebody just starting a thread instead -with extensive quotes, or not- I just don't want it taking over in here.

Anything that's not directly about the shop item/symbol can be moved.

[Eadee]

I actually got an idea for a new item. Have no clue if it is possible however.

Its a unity pod. And if you use it you gain a random item or sum of EC. There should be a chance for it to be negative as well. Like loosing items or stuff.

It may seem like a rip-off from the "random money"-item but I think it fits the theme of SMAC much better
Or maybe one could simply rename "random money" into "unity pod" with a new icon if you find a random item too "powerful".

[Buster's Uncle]

I'll need to think about this...

[Buster's Uncle]

I don't really think it's quite a fit.

-But on a related note, Uno hasn't been depositing his fake forum money, and I've robbed him twice in the last three weeks - I lost fake money on the first try, and made a miniscule profit on the second.  So I'm in the hole a bit, but everybody, remember to deposit at the Bank when you build up €1,000 in-pocket, lest the Steal Money item occurs to someone.

[Unorthodox]

Hell, my real money is on direct deposit, why isn't my fake money? 

[Buster's Uncle]

Because I don't know how to code that, and am doing well when I can even get someone to fix things.

[Valka]

Okay, I've made a deposit.

It's a good idea to work in SMACX iconography where feasible, given our focus, but really, anything but replacing the image for the Random Money item is over my tech pay grade, and the red die I put in there looks great - while a Unity Pod, shorn of the context of the in-game map, looks like a cow patty...

Anyone care to differ?  I'm certainly not married to the red die...

[Eadee]

Hey, I'm far from affording one of those anyways. So... I can still live without a unity-pod, it was just an idea that came up somewhere between other crazyness

And since I'm a roleplayer: Dice are always fine !

Seriously - the attached was cut out of ter1.pcx, the file the game uses.

I decided to make a modest increase in Bank interest, to a whole percent a day, since the rounding seemed to work out wildly adverse to smaller accounts - .0811% a day should have been registering €1 for accounts with €120 or more, yet seemed to require north of €800 to show any accrual.  Hopefully, 1% will work out more intuitively - I'll deal with the top five getting so huge they break the webs (the reason, I assume, that sisko dropped interest so low) the way I always have, with occasional edits; that's no reason to screw everybody else.


Uno, my DL mooched around with north of 7,200 in-pocket since the middle of summertime - I was giving you a free shot, and I'm surprised you didn't take it in time...
