[quote=@kapuchu] Actually, I think that our little Bloody Sleeve girl has the most expensive dress :P [quote=@Aeonumbra] World runs on trade and barter, no currency system but bullets are widely accepted, high grade being worth more.[/quote] also, I find this a bit hard to believe. It's been over 300 years, and I think that at least some sort of currency should have risen up in at least the first 100 years, with the last 200 being the time it took for it to get widespread and something everybody used. Not talking the kind of paper money that we use IRL, but perhaps just coins made out of some metal, say, I dunno, tin? Brass? I'm okay with sticking to just bartering, but I do think that a currency system would've been at least attempted during those 300 years. P.S Evelina Quinn's character sheet is under revision. It (for some weird reason) doesn't happen often, but I suddenly had a pang of inferiority and I'm now re-writing just about everything. She'll stay the same character, but it should (hopefully) be of higher quality (I blame Darcs :P). [/quote] @The P.S:: My first IC post wasn't exactly top notch either, sick with two different ear infections in the same ear and half asleep. XD As for the currency sir. You doubt me. Think about it. After the apocalypse you have a pocket full of funny colored paper with dead people's faces on it, and maybe some semi-precious metal coins. Who cares? What use is that after society has collapsed, the government is gone, and you're faced with lawless marauders. The most important things, besides basic survival and food, are going to be Ammunition and Gasoline, or fuel. Followed by infrastructural things such as flowing water, electricity, an establishment of order. So really there are a handful of things that would be considered valuable for trade, your funny colored money isn't one of it. [list] [*]Ammunition and Arms [*]Gasoline / Fuel [*]Cigarettes [*]Spices [*]Antibiotics & Medicine [*] Food [*] Skills and Knowledge [/list] Despite the fact that you'd have to find someone willing to make the money.. and what would you pay them with? How would you get everyone to agree? What would you backup an established currency that you could oh say, print? How would you establish an effective protocol to prevent inflation? How would you assure there would be no homemade currency in an apocalyptic world? 300 years and the only things as an established trade medium are useful things. How absurd :P Now bullets, everybody needs those, the best part is, you make em, you shoot em, and the demand remains. Perhaps it was attempted, but really, what's the point? You have a faction of people who keep to themselves, a faction that are just a step higher than mindless savages, a faction that is more focused on their bindings of honor and tradition, a faction that values only knowledge and progress, and then the only faction wholly obsessed with establishing a trade empire. Respective order: Edenites, Forsaken, Aqueous, Gaens, Motum Diversum. So I ask you again sir, when I could safely give you something you want, for something I want; rather than give you something, for a meaningless medium, and perhaps be unable to get what I want, meaning I demand more of this currency, meaning inflation; What's the point?
