Spend, my pretties! Mwah hah hah haaa .....

Post by Andreas the Wise »

You all have money. Prove your love of Erik, Mike and Hesam by proving them right and spending more erb now you have more and individual erbs are woth less! Go forth and spend 10 erbs at least! Especially anyone who's account balance currently reads 2250, because that means you haven't spent a cent yet, and should. Tis fun. Scott does great images.

You've only addressed half the problem. We're willing to spend, but there still isn't that much to buy. I can do images myself, and maybe they aren't as good as Scott's, but mine work fair enough...

Indeed, like Bayen said, there is notting to spend your money on. I'm working for VCorp and make my pictures myself. I don't need Scott to do this.
I can sell demos of the Kildare game but it isn't finished yet.
Maybe some people need to start a newspaper that isn't free and you need to buy it.

Corey and I are planning CheeseTV:

To be for-profit. That is, we'll put out previews on YouTube or something, but in order to actually get the show (which will be some sort of video webshow), you'll have to pay something. :P (We're not sure what yet...)

If you can make images, sell them. The problem of "there is nothing to buy" is the simply the flip side of "there is nothing to sell".

Everyone can make images. (Almost everyone.) That can't be the whole market. :p

Benkern is right... OR IS HE!?!??!

With the complete lack of legal controverse and litigation that is going on right now, F & B pulls in about zero Erbs...

This works. One of my comrades in Novaya Zemlya ran a pay-per-issue tabloid newspaper for several issues. I'd do it but I'm a busy man these days...

I tried to buy an image a while back... one that said "Judicial Smack Down" But I don't think I got any bids on it..

Also, once we had a gift economy, people just gave money to each other for doing good work for their own reasons. We should start gifting money to people as we did them, in addition to buying things. Encourage are fellow citizens. Maybe you'll get a reputation for generosity, and people will give you money for that...
