Where do you get all this money?

I did what I had to do to survive, thank you very much

I may not be proud of what I did, but I did what was necessary to survive.

You have no right to judge

Surviving through supporting death so willingly.

I might be exempt from this because I don't have 'all this money', but there are a lot of bars that need bartenders, and some of them pay well enough to get by. 40K for a gun, though? Dang.

Also, gold can definitely go down in value, because its price is completely arbitrary, and now that the spaceship is relatively affordable there's an infinite supply of the stuff. If you're stocking for when the pixel collapses or some insane things, go buy a bunch of cigarettes, toiler paper and fuel.

Back on Earth pre-tentacling, I was the owner of a large fuel producing and shipping company. Now 90% of my company's gone, but hey, still got some cash lying around.

It seems like there are a lot of rich people around this sector. The weapons dealers must be rather successful seeing how many of them are just popping out of nowhere nowadays.

Personnally, I've got the little money I've got from treasure hunting, then working as a courier in my spare time. I'm actually extremely poor compared to most of the people around here.

((Was a discussion about spawning infinite amounts of money through StarCheat/ILC Mod already done? Because it kinda feels like an issue that everyone is just running around with tens of thousands of pixels in their pockets.))

 

(( this is the issue this thread is trying to address in an IC way, yes ))

Oi, summa' us are full fuggen' willin' ta spend 40k on a fuggen' rifle, cause it's a collectible, ya can sell it fer big money, an' with a rare power source like that, and the right know-how, ya can turn it around and start makin' others like it. It's an investment, not a fuggen' whimsical purchase.
Anyways, I don't got no fake money. My transactions're honest, through n' through. I check my buyers n' make sure they ain't shittin' me, an' then we can talk business. Anyways, sellin' "custom" shit an' nothin' really quality, ya ain't gonna make as much money. Better ta have somethin' that works than somethin' fancy, cause ya ain't gettin' both. USCM Pulse rifles? Quality shit. Wish I could get ma hands on some old Armada gear, but I'd prolly hafta sell my dead grandmother's soul ta even look at those anymore.

Let me show you this secret:

You just have to do something like that with pixels.
-Solar

 

Live as a professional whore and mercenary for eighteen years and you'll attain money just as fast as you lose it.
But sometimes you get enough that you just can't lose it fast enough.

Sleep with rich guys.

I don't know, to be honest. Considering while I was working the bar in the Den, someone gave me a tip worth 1000 pixels, money doesn't appear to be a issue here. And yet working an honest job like I am has only gotten me... 44,753 pixels in the last two months. Considering my ship crashed and I lost everything I'm still stuck on the planet, and having had to use that money for a room in the Den for the past two months, as well for food and such, brings that value back down too... 36,353... And even then 10,000 of that was from a kind man who tricked me into getting a 10k voxel as a tip for serving him a drink.

Considering I used to be a merchant before crashing, I don't understand how anyone in this sector has so much money. I've seen people guzzle down gallons of booze and be perfectly fine, not even a little hiccup. This sector is strange. There definitely must be a printing press for pixels somewhere, because there's no way anyone can have all this money just to put it on a beam rifle. I mean that's a lot. Whoever won that auction could have bought a small ship with that amount of money! It kind of pains me to just see money tossed around so haphazardly around here, while I'm slowly amassing my money back, and yet still having trouble with a good job.

To touch on this, who the hell orders a shot and 'sips' it? You don't SIP a SHOT GLASS. And what drugs are they taking that three shots of Whiskey would not cause -some- disorientation? I tried to drink Whiskey once.. Tried.. The smell made me gag, felt like I was getting drunk through my nose.

- Myoku

 

Yeah... Appears a lot of people in this sector have a high alcohol tolerance. Someone ordered like a gallon of moonshine, then came back for another and they were perfectly fine... MOONSHINE! I mean what the hell!?

-Kimmy

 

Meanwhile, my alcohol tolerance is pretty much worse than zero...
Either this sector is full of alcoholics, or I'm just a "Pussy".
Probably both, from what I've heard.
- Sc@v3ng3r

 

I can't drink a quarter of a wartwine bottle witohut feeling at least dizzy... and heard human alcohol can be much stronger than that.

-Itztli

 

.... A Gallon? Maybe they just needed some fuel for their ship.

But in all honesty, tolerance that high is unrealistic. And what is the point in drinking if it does not affect you?

- Myoku

 

My solution to the sector's drinking habits: drink tea. It's good for you. Probably a lot cheaper, too.
