What politics? It's just me surrounded by idiots, attempting to mind-rape them with my words. What's so wrong with that?YOU'RE surrounded by idiots? Says the guy who attacked the instakilling, depowering gun...
You've haven't caught me yet, have you?I think he has. Give him the pleasure, his self-esteem would take a big hit if his only success was stolen from him.
Hey, once I get mounted feats from a vestige, I have total dibs on riding the bear-paladin.Actually, last I checked a party would have to burn 20% of its resources to defeat an average creature on its own of a CR equal to the party's level.
Wrex: If his CR is 63, how does a party of 100 HD greater deities not beat him? CR is defined as "This shows the average level of a party of adventurers for which one creature would make an encounter of moderate difficulty." So a level 63 party without ranks should be able to beat him every other time, which clearly is not the case.
It was the total cash flow I was interested in.how long has it been since we started?
Game started January 1, 2013. It's currently Feb 2, 2013. So, one month and one day.QuoteI'd like to estimate a sort of average monthly cash flow
No need to estimate anything. Income and expenses are clearly itemized on the status page. At present, they are:
Income:
$350/month rent from Dayton, Ohio rental property
Expenses:
$35/month cellphone, payable the first of each month
$190/year property tax on Dayton house, payable 50% every 6 months, next due May 1st 2013
$100/month property management for Dayton, Ohio house, payable the first of each month
That works out to a positive $200/month cashflow. Though admittedly you've been burning through money at a much faster rate than the monthly expenses would suggest. For example, you bought a $700 BBQ in the first few days. You spent thousands of dollars on your supervillian outfit. Just over the two days of this past turn you spent roughly $400 on a lockpick set, shipping, a hotel room and dinner. Most of your expenses have been from gameplay rather than monthly expenses.
So we definitely need some more income if we want to keep up our impulsive lifestyle...Quoteif we can afford the ninja classes
...well, $300 up front plus $100/month plus 2 rank tests a year at $100 each works out to $1700/year. So the average cost of the ninja classes will be ~$140 month. You have a net $200/month positive cashflow right now so strictly in terms of fixed income vs monthly expenses, you could eat that and still be positive.
But again, monthly expenses aren't where most of your money is going. You started this whole thing with $211,250 from the lottery, minus your $150,000 CD plus the $34,960 in your checking account and $379 cash in hand...you've spent $25,911 over the past month. $17,500 of that was on the Dayton, Ohio house, and you've had $700 total rental income.
That means that excluding the house and the CD, you've spent roughly $9000 over the past month on assorted "other stuff."
Well, at this point somebody has to do it, and the governments don't want to.Until we either get more income or slow down our expenses, we should think twice before taking the ninja lessons. Clara and the others can give us cheaper, more practical help.so to sumerise, keep working on and invest in our thieving/ninja skills.Seconded.
when we're less incompetent we should try and monetise on those skills.
but for now try to learn more about... just exactly how to monetise those skills.
