The Hangout: EVERYONE IS HATED BY IVOLT

[Cookie Monster]

This reminds me, I was intending to make a fuckhuge cookie later.

I'm thinking about 15 inches in diameter. Mostly because that's the largest spherical pan I have on hand right now.

Then I shall toss it out, much to cookie's disgust.

Do it and you'll be banned in less than 3 days.

And forced to get me all the AB coop trophies I'm missing.

And my Batman AA oh so wanted platinum.

[Miss Piggy]

Yeah, some of his theories actually have some sense, and we all know how the CIA works. It's just that I found the whole book deal as a joke, and he was dead serious about it.

But okay, let's give him some credit, he has some good points, the day he tells us to read 'The Secret' I'll know that he's just a nutcase.

my mom reads that...

[Cookie Monster]

Ok, I'm gone.

But be warned all of you, if I say or do something crazy in the next days, don't blame me, it will be exclusively your fault, guys.

[Ivolt]

Here's an analogy that you can surely stand behind.

"This is a pizza. This pizza is all the market value of the currency in this country.

*slice it into 4 pieces*

There are now slices. Oh wait, more people want slices, and you all want more slices?

*cut into 8 pieces*

There. Wait, there isn't any more pizza than there was before, I just made the slices smaller?

That's how fucking inflation works."

Then you stab them in the face with a fork.

This rep system that won't let me give you any is silly.

Or:

Oh CIA, you so crazy. You make it so much easier to take the moral high ground when arguing against americans. If it weren't for the fact that you're such gigantic assholes I'd almost appreciate you.

Would this person happen to be one of your professors that is in favor of certain so called "freedom fighters"?

If so, point out that you can't read the book because, like all mexicans, you are an illiterate indian.

Watch him rage before stating that that's totally taken out of context.

[Fer!]

Eh, nevermind, it wasn't good.

[Ivolt]

Ok, I'm gone.

"Oh Shi-"

Drove Cookie Crazy

Do we get points or a trophy for this?

Too far maybe?

I'll keep it as a backup plan.

We should, actually. "Drove cookie crazy" Platinum Trophy.

[Raype]

I still don`t get it. In fact it just made it more confusing.

To put it another way, money is simply shares in your country's wealth. It's a bit like a stock market. The more shares, the lower the value of each individual share. The money itself isn't what determines what it's worth, it's the value tied to it. This value drops every time someone creates more money.

In this case, it doesn't matter whether you have one slice at 4 or 2 slices at 8, they both have the same value. The way inflation works, you don't make more money or lose money, you generally end up right back where you started, because each individual dollar has a lower value tied to it. Ever notice how once everybody across the economy gets a pay raise shit gets more expensive? Same idea. That extra money has to come from somewhere. That "somewhere" is someone making smaller and smaller slices. You might have more cash in your pocket, but you're now paying out a bit more for everything, so ultimately you have no more cash than before. Way back people got by on dollars and cents. But more money had to come up for various reasons. Eventually, we got to the current state where cents are pretty much pointless and dollars have to be fairly numerous to do anything.

Do it and you'll be banned in less than 3 days.

And my Batman AA oh so wanted platinum.

Hey, I totally offered my services on the AB trophies. Just let me know when.

And I haven't gotten around to AA yet. I'm intending to get cracking on another RPG starting tomorrow. Possibly with attempts to platinum my recently completed game. I'll get on AA eventually. Probably. I guess.

[Raype]

If it is, I've got a couple other ones.

Mouthy, mouthy motherfucker. And for all the shooting, he really shoots himself in the foot plenty.

[Drageuth]

hahaha i used to wear braces about 4 years ago.

I wore braces for almost five years. Got them removed about 7 years ago, give or take.
Fucking hated them.

Personally, I'm still trying to wrap my head around how we're supposed to use those three shells.

HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO USE THE THREE SEASHELLS?!

[Wyrm]

There is only so much value to go around. Money is a percentage of the net value. When you have more money, the less value is allotted to each unit of money.

Or: the more of something you have, the less it's worth. HOW DO THEY NOT GET THIS?

Same concept with games.

If there werent many manufactured, its worth more. If there was 86967494869669 of them, theyre not worth shit.

That too. Although in that case you also get into the complexities of supply/demand and the like. IE: A fairly rare game might only be worth as much as a slightly aged call of duty. S/D do affect inflation quite a bit. But at that point we're really getting into some of the annoying bits of economics.

Did it provide difficulties during oral sex.

WE NEED IT FOR OUR RESEARCH, YOU SEE.
