Mobs dropping money, no matter how small of an amount, can wreck the economy. Eventually it builds up over the hundred of players killing hundreds of mobs. I still vote for gold backed money. Sure, this gives most of the wealth possibility to miners, but it's actually realistic. Money has almost always been backed by gold in civilizations. Take out pigmen dropping gold in 3.0, make gold pretty rare (because nations will almost definitely have ridiculous amounts of people mining) and set up a "minting" system for nuggets or something like mentioned in the "Your View" post. I still think that idea would be insanely wonderful for the server. The miners who like to mine a ton make their profit selling the gold to minters in different kingdoms, people who don't like mining much can actually sell their goods for money. Governments being required to mint the money makes miners give them the gold needed to do trading as well as pay their guards and such. Governments could create much more dynamic economies by choosing when and when not to mint that gold. Etc etc etc. The benefits of gold backed money go on and on. The only benefits of this are so that people don't have to rp, but simply go out and sit on their own killing mobs for money and only rp to buy things. Which, in my eyes, is NOT a benefit. Sending money virtually is also ridiculous. Let me see you attach a bag of 1000 minas to a pigeon, be my guest and build it a robo-suit to be able to carry that. Legit, please, no more mobs dropping money ffs. We need a somewhat stable economy, not a constantly inflating one. (At least not a constantly inflating one for reasons that make no sense rp'ly.)

Other. I strongly support the gold base idea, as well as the different kingdoms having different currencies. I say we just pump each kingdom with a certain amount of gold to back their money with at the beginning. As each kingdom gets more gold, they're able to back more money and therefore mint more (I like the book idea myself) This allows kingdoms to have their own individual economies, making their currency more or less valuable as they trade/buy/sell gold. If not something like this, the very simple gold system mentioned on this topic sounds easy as well. Gold nuggets are a Mina, ingot nine, block eighty one. This would allow easy storage, as well as easy buying and trading that is sort of like real life. (ie pulling out a dollar, a quarter, and three pennies, you pull out a block, two ingots, and six nuggets.) I very much like both systems, though with the rarity of gold while mining you might have to increase the value by 5x or so and people just sell things in multiples of five. Anyways, though I'm a die hard Aegis resurrector through and through, I know the pain of the stupid money loss and the silliness of people having alts. (For one, at one point I was carrying around 250K regularly and was scared shitless of dying. I also ran an entire bank business using an alt as the bank storage, and using signs to remember what everyone had stored.) I also hated Asulon period (hence my quitting for almost the entirety of it, returning only a week ago.) This gringotts system is pretty poopy too though. We need something new.

I've been here almost since the beginning, Shift, and remember dealing with you as both a GM and Rp'er many times back in Aegis. I hope we meet again on the server sometime, as it's been far too long.

I would say that is the best option. Two way would just make it too easy. We aren't supposed to be able to haul our entire possession over.

Voted Other. Wasn't this island originally for "collecting resources"? I like the idea of having to choose only an inventory full of items to take, aka "What we can carry with us" rather than allowing people to take their chests full of cobblestone and random crap with them to built giant disgusting settlements on the next island.

Both of the festive competition links are brokenn. Dx But, other than that, good stuff.

These ideas are all pretty great, hopefully a few people take away from this. As for the merchant thing, if anyone knew Hempshine back in Aegis, won't ever be another like him.

Pet(s): None. History (Taken from my VA) "Aye, me life story ye be wantin'? Well then, fer some short lineage, me grandfather was an Oren Guard Sergeant-turned rich gambler-turned large bank owner back in the lands of Aegis. Quite the man 'e was from what I 'ear, went by the name of Tyler Isbord. Me Father wouldn't tell me much of 'ow 'e came to be, or 'ow I came to be 'as well, seein' as I never knew me mother. But me father was born sometime shortly before 'is father's death from the Undead scum in Aegis, and seems to 'ave been raised by a carpenter. After they abandoned the lands of Aegis for Asulon, me father began work as an architect and landlord in New Alras. 'e lived quite the borin' life, doin' not much else but that and raisin' me. As fer meself, I think I take after me grandfather. 'e was quite greedy (which caused 'im to lose 'is riches by the same fate 'e got em.) which I see in meself a bit as well. I wouldn't want to 'arm anyone that don't need 'armin', and would never feel the urge to rob someone violently like the bandits and their folk, but if the opportunity fer a quick chunk of gold presents 'imself, I like to take me chances. I AM quite the fighter and sneak, might ye know. I feel I could get meself out of 'bout any situation! I grew up learnin' 'ow to build from me father, bein' an architect and all, and so I enjoy doin' it fer a livin'. I might even be given the title of Baron of me town under the wonderful Count Green 'ere shortly! Luckily 'e doesn't know that most of 'is wheat tribute be comin' from stolen wheat from the house of winter. Harhar. I try to be fair though and even be replantin' most of the seed. Anywho, back to me. I learned quite a bit from me father, from buildin' 'omes to wieldin' a sword (though 'e wasn't much good at it 'imself) to even locksmithin'! Quite a story behind that last'n there. Me father took over the "Old Pony Plaza" in Alras, quite the shoddy little apartment setup it was, under the King. The locks they built the bloody apartments with were cheaply made, couldn't keep a crosseyed goblin out! Over the course of 'is borin' life, 'e tinkered with the locks quite a bit, 'n' by the time 'e became an old man, 'e might as well 'ave been a master locksmith. The apartments 'ad locks that couldn't be fooled by any bandit or petty thief! Aye, 'e taught me a bit of the art, and I still practice meself. Though I'm not the best at it, I can manage to beat a lock or two 'ere and there. *chuckles* But as I've said, I think I be doin' quite well fer meself as of now. May not be the richest fellow, but I can't be complainin' when the possibility of becomin' a baron is bein' thrown around! Still though.. walkin' through Oren just makes me want to see how foolish those bloody nobles are. Always caught up in their petty arguments, I'm sure I could pick their chest open and grab meself a few bits of gold with them in the front yard! Harhar, fools most of those nobles be. Not me Count Green though, 'e's quite the intelligent fellow. Think I've 'eard 'e did a large bit of studyin' when 'e was younger. 'opefully 'e doesn't catch on to me offerin's to 'im bein' half stolen any time soon.." Artwork

COMPLETELY OOC: MC Name: TylerIsBored RP Name: Junior_Architect_Tyler, Landlord_Tyler, Tyler. How experienced do you THINK you are with redstone?(Preferably a non-biased opinion) [Example of what NOT to do:'IM AWESOM!'] I understand the basics, and have built some pretty complicated things with the help of youtube/google. I've built combination locks, floor-encased staircases, and simple piston doors. I don't know all of the GATES off hand, but I do know the function of most of them. Any links to redstone devices you've made before and documented(Screenshots/Video). (NOTE* It is best to have a sign somewhere in the screenshot/video to prove YOU made it.) Don't have any screenshots, but I gave you a basic understanding of what I can do above. Why do you wish to join the guild? I love playing with redstone mechanics, and at my architects status, I don't have much to do all the time. I like to be building almost constantly, and can't do that as of right now.

Syrio, MediocreGamer.

NATIVE BROWNIES FOR CURRENCY.

You attacked me first then asked me why i attacked you after you died. You just wont admit it. People get mad constantly that they die, i like to roleplay fight with people and get into pvp on this server, but all that ever comes out of it is accusations and people mad ooc.

Got to go eat and go to bed guys. If you want to continue this discussion i'd be glad to tomorrow afternoon/evening. Have a good night.

You're definitely in the wrong order. In case you don't know i was BEHIND the fort during the entire spamming of lightning/mobs, someone else might of hit you then. I didn't attack until the majority of people were dead.

Considering i told one of the armies to come if i wasn't heard from for a while, i'd say i was a large part of this war. They wouldn't of been there if i hadn't been there.

No fighting was being done? Sledder spammed lightning and mobs multiple times before you guys even left the fort. I hit you guys both once/twice and waited for you to respond before i continued fighting as well.

Yep sledder's being real mature. "YA BLEW IT." "YA BLEW IT KID." So mature in my book.

((By the way guys, my forum thing is messed up right now so i cant see any ban reports. If you did post one, i cant defend myself there so i'll do it here.))

You dont doubt there was minimal rp? You're mad because i killed you when you attacked first buddy. Good try though.

I've heard gm's say, in a ban report on pholom/lymdil i believe, that war does NOT have to be declared at all times.

I was there to kill wrath before you even showed up. I was trying to trick him into letting me in so i could attack, because im not going to act like an idiot and charge like the other 20 people who died. I didn't ruin the rp, it was over. Everyone was either dead or hiding from you in a hole and not talking. You said absolutely nothing about the king and I had perfectly good reason to attack. YER WRONG.

Yes circle pathway, and most of the mobs died from sledders fireball. Yes he does, it proves you like to accuse people of stuff for no reason. In wartime (I'm pretty sure this can be considered war, there were multiple armies there attacking) this has always been valid rp. No problem letting you point out your own wrongs buddy.

Just an FYI all of your mobs that you heard doing damage killed someone else that was down there sneaking. I watched him die, iwasn't near the mobs. Second, you were just spamming lightning and mobs at entire armies outside, and i also did a '*draws sword and charges' emote, plus i shouted at you. I hit once, then waited for you guys to attack back, once you did i ran into the hole and you chased after me. How is this no rp? You guys are both just raging because you lose one fight out of a hundred and think noones good enough to win legitly. I heard you guys also accused NapaseT of hacks, but he's just one of the best pvp'ers i've ever seen. It's pretty pathetic that I kill you guys and you start screaming HP hacks. It's not that hard to time my eating. The area we actually fought in was a circle pathway around a staircase. I killed wrath, ate while walking around the circle, killed guraim, ate again while walking around, then killed you. In case you don't realize, ARMOR NEGLECTS DAMAGE to a certain extent, and there are PARRIES from the swords skill. WRATH, same goes to your post. And your sword skill is 22 (at least according to your profession, might be outdated though) not whatever you said. You're both just raging because someones good enough to kill you. Quit QQ'ing just because you've lost one fight after winning 1000.
