((But can you sell something someone "lent" you, that's the keyword?

Honestly, if Piecewise is gonna allow this, then he should also allow the option for Ji to roleplay taking this case to court. I'm sure PW would love an opportunity to write dialogue for OMNI lawyers. It may bog things down though.))

[Egan_BW]

((I imagine that this setting doesn't have courts so much as epic freewheeling lawyer battles, fought with word and with steel.))

[Devastator]

((I don't think Piecewise cares about anything other than who had it at that particular moment.  He even said he had no idea how it was gotten, but it's still half purchase price.))

((I just wanted a few actual cashbucks so I could buy what I wanted, not get the backup to someone's backup weapon.  All I can do with the weapon is hurt myself.  I mean..  I can understand being angry about someone doing something you don't want with your item, but I'm using it so I can actually do stuff, and I'm doing it with the lent weapon.  I'm just not doing it in the expected manner.))

((I am willing to replace it after the mission or come to some kind of deal.))

[Egan_BW]

((Note that this is after Dev negotiated for 500 Omni starting money. :p
But yeah, work it out IC.))

[Devastator]

((Note that this is after Dev negotiated for 500 Omni starting money. :p

((Well, yes.  Bought me a toolkit and a couple grenades.  Such wow, that.  ;-p))

((The courts are probably full of devils.  There's that contract-making item on the PR class, after all.  I think that's backed with HELL.))

Alec too will go see what the screaming is, passing Yagyu "Aye how the feck are ye!" he says with a chuckle "Have nae seen ye in a wee bit!".

"True! I used to be an alien but then I blew up so now I push things. Good to have you back!"

"Aye good to be back, an I finally got feck'n paid! After we check the bloody noise, ye and I should go have a drink...If ye can drink?"

[Horizon]

((Ah jeez guys, your arguing over fictional property? Come on guys, lets just move on.))

[The Lupanian]

((I am trying to establish a safety net for new players. Plus, maybe if PW had onown where you got them, he wouldn’t have let you sell them. But I’ll settle this IC if you’d prefer.))

[The Lupanian]

”Summer, if you don’t give my shit back, or payout the money you got for them, I will fucking kill you. And don’t ever expect my help again.”

[Devastator]

"I'm afraid I've only got 300 left.  Can I pay you the rest at the end of the mission?"

"..Actually.. I think I have a little more."

"..looks like.. 335 in total.  Will that do for now?"

.."I mean, I'm sure there's something I can do.  I've got this toolkit.."

[King Zultan]

"My vision is coming true, and what the fuck is that noise?"
Keep their original personalities and have them follow me around.

((PW allowed it, knowing it was a secrifle, so it rides unless he changes his mind forgetting the rules to his own game, as per the Old Custom.))

((FTFY. 

No but seriously, this works for me just fine, but it'd be nice to know if this is an intentional rule change or an oversight. I'll just ask in my turn.

Side note: borrowing equipment from a fellow player to sell it at half value, then buying it back later at full price is essentially like taking out a loan with a 100% interest rate. That seems rather steep, especially since I think multiple PC's could just loan the omni directly at much more favorable conditions. Hell, if it's to help a newbie character get started, and if you tell them they can have the rest of your starting kit should the character not survive to pay it back, you might even get a loan at 0% interest, and with less hassle to boot.))

[Devastator]

((Yeah.  100% is also a much more reasonable interest rate than 0% or 25%.  It's about right if you want to prevent things like a newbie buying an auditor body on turn one.

Also, offering the 'rest of my starter kit' after dying is something that's not usually valid because immortality is cheap.  Buying a brain backup seems likely, which would rule out selling the starter kit.))

[Radio Controlled]

((In that case, proposing someone loan you the omni with a nice interest rate still seems way easier than this scheme, and means a fellow player earns some money rather than throwing it into the void of the NPC market. :v   But hey, you do you!))

[Devastator]

((Are you offering to loan money, then?))
