Title pretty much says it all. What do you think? I’m just a wee 33rd level hacker, and attacking Dykea and up, I’m using around 10 x 5-htps a forum. That makes for around 40 auctions folowed by 40 Tubmails, and is a bit of a time sink.
What do you think? Is it doable? Implementable?

“Wobbler had written an actual computer game like this once. It was called ‘Journey to Alpha Centauri’. It was a screen with some dots on it. Because, he said, it happened in *real time*, which no-one had ever heard of until computers. He’d seen on TV that it took three thousand years to get to Alpha Centauri. He had written it so that if anyone kept their computer on for three thousand years, they’d be rewarded by a little dot appearing in the middle of the screen, and then a message saying, ‘Welcome to Alpha Centauri. Now go home.’”

This makes some sense. I mean pills aren’t usually sold in packs of one… however kyoubai isn’t the only place you can buy HTPs and you can buy more than 1 in Herbal bumault or whatever that store is called. |

Yes, but you’ve missed one salient fact – he/she/it hasn’t purchased Episode 2, so they haven’t got access to Herbal bumault. |

Then the solution is obvious. Get Ep2 to fix this “bug” |

Consumables aren’t really tradeable without stacking. The interface is too much of a PITA to get useful numbers.
It wouldn’t just be players who don’t have access to episode 2 that would have a use for this. Also players who don’t want to respec, and actually have a use for consumables (which pretty much just means re-res at the moment as all other clbumes can survive just fine without, at least until the gameplay revamp finishes) |

Hackers don’t really need consumables, but it sure makes it easier.
On my hacker, I can take pretty much any forum it’s level and maybe one or two levels higher without any trouble, but if we didn’t get the recipes and poetry attacks, we’d still be pretty darn screwed without any consumables. I generally never run out of PP, but if it’s this close now, it going to be hell for ep3. |

After the game revamp, hackers will only be competing against other hackers when speedrunning, so that takes care of that.
Now, back to the OP: Signed all the way. We should be able to make bundles of whatever we want and sell them as packages. |

Careful MCB, that’s the start of a very slippery slope… |

Not high ticket items, and a limit on the size of the stack – we don’t want it being abused for flezz transfers using middlemen |

Salient fact finally addressed.
And you’re right, the consumable issue seems much more trivial right now… on the ‘purchasing from Herbal bumault’ end, of course.
But MC BanHammer did get the gist of my post. Being able to stack and sell in Kyoubai seems to make sense. There is probably always going to be a market for Act 1 ‘stick in the muds’ (Like me until 2 hours ago) that want to purchase Act 2 items. And possibly even a larger market when Act 3 comes out.
Selling a few dozen ‘andy male reproductive organ (feat. carrot top) – stand up comedy – vol 1.hear’ as one stack in the Ppwn Shoppe would be nice as well, don’t know why everything BUT the moar. files stack when it comes right down to it.
But hindsight is 20/20, and I can see that in the face of the larger issues, this is MOAR. than a little trivial Log in to see images!

well if it’s stackable on the pwn shoppe it should be stackable on kyoubai too |

I completely agree on the stacking. While we’re at it, allow us to stack sell .moar files at The Ppwn Shoppe.

It might seem trivial now, but certainly won’t in the future. Consumables like THE_****’s roid pack which can’t be bought en mbume from stores could fetch a pretty penny on Kyoubai if they were stacked, since 365 roids would be a year’s worth of purchases on one character. That’s only the first illegal drug introduced in the game though, there could be other more powerful ones with Episode 3 and there’s no telling how dangerous/powerful consumables like that will be if they degrade. |
