PEEL Currency Exchange Reinstated: Trade it here, or it's not real fake money!

[on:]

The old PEEL currency exchange was an altogether discomfited and unrealised endeavour, which was closed up from the sight of reality and left to die a cold painful death as it floated down the frozen waters of the metaphorical River Cocytus. But it has seen fit to return, and I plan to nurture it back into fruition even if I have to moderate each individual transaction personally. Now, there was much confusion in that past thread... The newfangled rules were lost in midpage somewhere and people new to the scene often ended up clueless. (I could say a few words of my own opinion towards this, but I find it quite effortless to avoid doing so. I'm very submissive, particularly to myself.)

To begin properly anew, I feel a new thread will be immensely beneficial. In order to appropriately address any confusion that may arise, I am posting here the rules all parties will/have agree(d) to abide by. They were drafted by totalnerduk, and if there is any dispute, you take it up with him. This is his ship, his command, he's in charge, he's the boss, head man, top dog, big cheese... Et cetera. Pay particular attention to the points I have taken the inharmonious liberty to boldface.

1) Name your currency and pick a symbol or designation, eg: N$ or TPUK.

2) Your currency will be minted in one batch, as soon as you name it. The number of units will be equal to half of your post count added to the total number of [wikipeelia]Nixorbucks[/wikipeelia] minted at that time.

3) Making a sample picture of your currency is strongly approved of.

4) Due to the devaluing of the US Dollar, the Nixorbuck will be presumed to have devalued as well. Now, it will be possible for a currency to be worth more than a Nixorbuck. As you will all be minting more units than there are Nixorbucks, this will not happen until [wikipeelia=Nixorbo]Nix[/wikipeelia] mints way more units. He's the only guy who can mint more than his initial run.

5) You may mint one unit of your currency for special occasions. It will not be released into circulation. It exists purely to make you happy.

6) Making actual physical "money" is also encouraged. You could post it to PEELers whom you particularly like (or hate, in the case of the radioactive [wikipeelia]Gopher[/wikipeelia] Dollar).

7) BirthdayClown cannot play. He is not recognised by the mint.

8) I'm running this. If I say something, it's true. Don't argue. I'm trying to keep it playable, bitches.

9) You will be responsible for logging currency transactions on the wiki. Currency transactions must be approved before they can be logged. This means that all affected or involved parties must agree.

10) The previous game's contents and transactions will be ignored. Think of this as a re-launch in the sense of Batman Begins. Therefore, please read the rules, try not to contradict them, and don't get upset when I say that something can't be true if it contradicts any of them.

If anybody is interested, then just name your currency and state your post count to begin. In the following format, please:

TotalpenceUK (TPUK) 10907

That's currency name in bold, designation in brackets, and your post count at the time. Anything not in that format will not be recognised when the mint opens again in a few days time. If you screw up, re-post rather than editing, as edited posts containing that information will be ignored. See if you can figure out why, geniuses.

If you need help editing either [wikipeelia=PEEL Mint]this page[/wikipeelia] or [wikipeelia=Currency Exchange]this page[/wikipeelia], I am willing to assist. The following people have signed up so far, and I believe WikiPEELia has been completely updated to the Sunday best of my knowledge.

Xannichelliaceae (¤) 4045

Golden Weinsar (GW) 5562

Drodyduke (Þ) 440

Friskoruna (­♠) 3684.

If you wish to play, establish your financial institution and currency, and prepare for the exchange to be declared officially initiated. Totalnerduk may do this, or I may if I deem that everything has been followed through to the extent of perfection I believe totalnerduk would require.

How long did you spend writing that post?

[Reply #2 on:]

I'm going to guess between 11 and 45 minutes....

Unless tnuk has talked to you Xannie, last time I talked to him, he said he really didn't want to take the leash on this endeavor anymore.  If it's going to re-open, and you've already opened the thread, I totally nominate you as Head PEEL Bank Chancellor... assuming you wouldn't mind filling the position.

[Reply #3 on:]

I've still got some Tall Dollars, right? Rach? RACH?

I want some of winna's currency. I'll do whatever.

[Reply #4 on:]

I'm happy to be involved with the administration, as long as I'm not the only one.

I'd like to propose the following hierarchy:

Governer of the PEEL Mint: Xanfor
Directors, totalnerduk, mArc, Nixorbo.

The Governer makes official announcements, the directors have the power to make any changes to PEEL's economy, as long as they can get Xanfor to agree with them.

[Reply #5 on:]

Ignore this one. I've said what I needed to. Xanfor, you're in charge now. Good luck herding this particular bunch of cats.

[Reply #6 on:]

I've still got some Tall Dollars, right? Rach? RACH?

Sure, but they're about as valuable as fantales wrappers.

[Reply #7 on:]

So how does this work???

Man, I feel like such a noob...

[Reply #8 on:]

I'll join in again, was good fun last time

[Reply #9 on:]

Ok I think i've got it.

Gzars (*) 321

(Gzars is pronounced "Gaz-ars" if anyone was wondering.)

[Reply #10 on:]

I'm in but only if we can have a money fight.

seeing as the old thread got locked...

The idea is that you edit the wiki page with this information.

[Reply #13 on:]

I don't see a huge issue with posting it right out... but it is clearly defined in the above tenents that players should and will participate in making the presence of their currency known through the wiki.

In all truthfulness, I was thinking more along me being a director, but there are several advantageous aspects of being in charge... So I accept. I'll give it a few more days and then we can get it all started. You're still playing, right, tnuk?

[Reply #15 on:]

I hearby announce the opening of the Bear Cave Bank

We're putting Bear Claws into circulation here, folks!

Bear Claw  (Ψ) 954


Here's an early spoiler-free pic of a Bear Claw:

I believe somebody already picked that symbol as their currency denotation.... but I could be wrong.  Also, they might not be playing anymore.

[Reply #17 on:]

I got dibs!

[Reply #18 on:]

that is beyond my abilities

[Reply #19 on:]

I suppose you'll have to learn how to do it if you want to play then.... won't you?  It's not actually that ridiculously hard.... AND LEARNING IS FUN!!!!

[Reply #20 on:]

I don't wanna learn I kid, I kid, it'll be figured out tomorrow when I'm awake

Oh yeah, I'm still playing. I'll be putting the tpUK through a re-design as well at some point.

[Reply #22 on:]

):< I SAID: LEARNING IS FUN. >:(

[Reply #23 on:]

Ok, we're open.

I'm offering twenty Xannichelliaceae in exchange for five of any other currency for the next twenty-four hours.

Only one offer per PEELer. Terms and conditions subject to change without notice. This disclaimer offers no protection, real or implied, to those who choose to partake in this offer. This offer may not be appropriate for children under the age of two, or women who are pregnant or nursing. As always, consult your doctor before undertaking fictional financial transactions.

[Reply #24 on:]

I'll give you six tpUK for twenty Xannywhatsists on the condition that you make a picture so I can see what I've just accepted twenty of.

[Reply #25 on:]

You have yourself a mint condition twenty-piece Xannywhatsist note, here. Still soggy off the presses!

[Reply #26 on:]

 I'll give 75 Friskorunas to anyone willing to make a picture of one for me. I'm afraid my MS paint skills aren't up to the task.

[Reply #27 on:]

How many Cinibucks could I make $¤$X
X stands for the "how many" part

[Reply #28 on:]

The number of units will be equal to half of your post count added to the total number of Nixorbucks minted at that time.

[Reply #29 on:]

How many nixorbucks exist?

[Reply #30 on:]

Here y'go Frisco.



It's a bimetallic coin. One side is silver, the other gold. They are marked with your username and your trademark pineapple.

[Reply #31 on:]

Outstanding job TNUK! Your 75 Friskorunas will be delivered via flying badger.

[Reply #32 on:]

Oh, my money is Gzars, I remember now!

[Reply #33 on:]

Yes and you owe me some for guessing that you wanted to be Isabella Swan

[Reply #34 on:]

Yep, I actually regret giving that much to you

*x.Bianca.x edits post stating she's giving Bear 15,000 Gzars*

I'm joking, I'll keep to my word.

[Reply #35 on:]

I've updated the [wikipeelia]Currency Exchange[/wikipeelia] page. Note that for legal purposes, Frisco accepted 1 tpUK in exchange for ♠75. Bianca, let me know whether or not your exchange with Bear has been approved by you both. If Bear doesn't offer anything in return for your *15,000, the transaction will be considered void, unless he too exchanges them for a minimum of ψ1.

In related exchange news, I'm offering to trade ¤1,000 for 1,500 GW. What say you, weiner?

[Reply #36 on:]

I'll pass on that offer, Xanfor. I feel I should wait a little to peg my currency until some other transactions have been completed. The Golden Weinsar is, of course, unaffected by the economic woes, being golden and weintastic and all.

[Reply #37 on:]

So uh, where is this invisible fort where you keep all this internets currency?

Switzerland.

[Reply #39 on:]

   Bianca, let me know whether or not your exchange with Bear has been approved by you both.

Does she have non-PEEL way of contacting you? I have a suspicion that she is currently in the same boat as Books with regard to posting on PEEL.
