001 : POUNDS SYSTEM |
If you have looked to your left, you will see... we have a money system. The money system will become an important part of the roleplay and may be the difference between you dying or having the upper hand. ❖ Your money can turn into anything. Like in the real world, money can turn into anything as long as you have enough of it. The conversion we'll use here is 1 pound = 2 USDs to simplify things so you won't have to go pull out the money converter. Pounds will be the currency used in this world. If you do end up travelling out of the bounds of the roleplay (as in, you end up hopping on a getaway plane to go to Norway), your money is magic and you can use it elsewhere... that makes sense? Well, let's try to avoid going to America, shall we? But yes, money is required to do things like enter places like a theatre or zoo, buy food or weapons, go on public transportation, bribe the information brokers, etc. Without money, you'll probably The process in which you purchase objects is as follows. 1) You purchase the object in the roleplay by leaving a message like so: { Feliciano Vargas purchased A Plate of Pasta for £3 ! } The code for this is here: { [b]CHARACTER NAME[/b] purchased [b]ITEM NAME[/b] for [b]£AMOUNT[/b] ! } 2) We staff are monitoring threads, but we don't read every single post. So it would be helpful if you posted in the purchases thread this: Alfred F. Jones has purchased A Burger for £20. Cha-ching~! [b]CHARACTER NAME[/b] has purchased [b]ITEM NAME[/b] for [b]£AMOUNT[/b]. [url=LINK TO THREAD]Cha-ching~![/url] Simple enough, right? Your money counter will obviously go down. ❖ And you can find money anywhere. Well not exactly. I don't want you people to end up finding money on the ground all around you. I want you to go work for it, muahahahahaha. But yes, all character groups have a certain occupation, even the hobos (who will panhandle their way to a mansion... someday). Agents can have part-time cover jobs (it's actually recommended all agents have a secret identity and such), such as working at diners, the casino, and as mail people. They'll earn extra money from that. Civilians... go take normal jobs. Criminals have to swindle their way with bank fraud to get their money, so it'll be understandable if they're stinking rich suspiciously. But most of all, Agents earn their money from completing Missions, which will be talked about in the Missions thread. For work threads, you probably want to get in a few posts. Work the whole night, your hours, dunno. Be reasonable, though. On the Paycheque thread, you will do this: Wang Yao earned £20. Cha-ching~! [b]CHARACTER NAME[/b] earned [b]ITEM NAME[/b] for [b]£AMOUNT[/b]. [url=LINK TO THREAD]Cha-ching~![/url] Similarly, you will be doing this in the thread you are working in. { Francis Bonnefoy earned £5 ! } The code for this is here: { [b]CHARACTER NAME[/b] earned [b]£AMOUNT[/b] ! } Now go forth and thrive in the world of commerce. |
