issue yourself.

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee shiny permit.

a design permit

This design permit is a small piece of crisp white parchment, roughly four
inches by six. An elegant border of glowing iridescent ink lines the edges and
an official stamp of the Design Panel has been pressed neatly into the
bottom-right corner. The writing upon the permit is succinct and to the point,
granting the owner the permission to be submit more designs for review.
Hrmmm...must hold onto it!

That would be great to know. Currently unsure how much was escrow and how much I actually had. If you ask Estarra she can tell you, I'm sure.

I messaged Iosai and she let me know how much I needed, because she is so wonderful like that. :wub:

It should now show automatically when you try to resolve an auction and don't have enough credits.

Zarquan:

Book of the Dead is just depressing. I still contend that every org should have a fair shot at influencing the undead. :mellow:

I was honestly expecting them to go for more than they did, given all the complaining that there is about influencing undead. The way it went kind of indicates to me that the ability isn't worth the upset around it, rather it's just something to bitch about. If it were such a big deal, they would have gone for more. You're a person who could pay whatever for it just because you wanted it, but you didn't. *shrug*

Could 'credit report' show any bound credits tied up in auctions, for the future?

The price on an auction does not correlate directly to the value of the item or any ability it bestows.

I could have paid more. I shouldn't have to pay at all.

Oh, go on then, since you're twisting my arm. :)

Well, actually, it's buggy the way it works now. It shouldn't be taking any credits away when you bid. That was never fully fixed after escrow came into the picture.

I'll make you a crow cloak every 12 days or so if you give me 1000 credits
Talan2011-11-16 20:33:38
Ostracize.

You are finally mine. <3 Yay for the book too, even if that did gouge me for more than I expected.

You're talking to Talan, I'm sure. ;)

Not everyone has a million credits sitting around to spend on whatever they want. You can't say "the ability isn't worth the upset around it" just because people didn't want to pay a few thousand credits for it. Auctions never show the real worth of an artifact.

I personally don't see it being a huge issue though.

The Book was worth 800 cr to me and not a credit more! It's not like there that many quests that needed undead influencing that I really wanted to do.
Sidd2011-11-16 21:17:23
My offer goes for anyone, 1000 credits and I will make you a crow cloak every 12 days

Love the initiative! I always thought crow cloaks would be a good source of income from enterprising (and unscrupulous) sorts.

However, deals like this should probably be roleplayed in game! (And you may not want to advertise under-the-table deals -- which are usually conducted in deserted back alleys for a reason!)
Talan2011-11-16 23:09:00
:o
Sylphas2011-11-16 23:20:18
For only 500 credits, I'll flex Tailor and make you knock off Crow cloaks. Save money, buy bootlegs!

am kinda bummed I didn't get Selene, she's the only serenwilde doll I'm missing now. But yay for cute Luna + Hart interaction.
