I can't count how many votes there are for or against selling two shopkeepers to each other.

Especially with these conditional blanket votes. There's just so many of them.

Therefor, I'm proposing a new modified action:

Sell Shopkeeper A to Shopkeeper B. Sell Shopkeeper B to Shopkeeper C. Sell Shopkeeper C to Shopkeeper A. Then try to buy them all back, but tell each that their competitors are selling shopkeepers for lower prices until they're all dirt cheep.
This way we'll be harder to track, with three in the loop.

Actually, an Instant-Shopkeeper powder satchel would be a great item to have around in case we ever need to spawn a shopkeeper.

We'd of course abuse that like crazy, like using it when something really horrible is about to happen to trigger the eye lasers.

Also shopkeepers, evil, mischievous, scheming, vile creatures, feed their souls with money, etc etc.

The problem with that argument is if you replace "shopkeepers" with "us" or "Ciro", it's still equally valid.

I've been extolling the fact of the horrible darkness that is the pits of the shopkeeper's eyes and their manipulative eyebrows since I first saw 'em. They make a nonsensical profit out of a few currencies that's almost worthless if you really put some thought into it. Too many questions.

That my arguments may or may not be applicable to other characters isn't something I'm too concerned with.

I has a question:

Why did we never try bloodshaping money?

Forgot about that ♪~This isn't blood money it's a fee nothing more~♪.

It applies both ways though :P

Since the money would literally made of blood it would not be legal tender~

You mean the "vendor trash"?
We sold it's leg. We couldn't sell all of it, iirc.

Heh. We could call the shopkeepers we sell and buy "Trash vendors". :P

But blood is more useful for magic then metal is. Therefore our Blood Coins should be worth more.
