(Market): Tohran says, "Everyone likes tongue! Your mom, your dad, your sister, your wife, your kid, even you! Selling wyrm tongue!"
...she's either got no friends or runs about with a truly articulate, witty and intelligent crowd
I'm no she honey...

Unfortunately for @Melodie , abusing tax loopholes is a Cyrenian art. My declared income as the Pauper Knight is too low to be garnished, and I invest my savings into non-transferable assets, so unless you want a few crappy rapiers or an old fullplate, you'll have to aim for the manor, which my lawyer assures me is safe because we're not yet married.
But fear not, I already have an offshore numbered account set up for you through my contact in Zanzibaar, so when you succumb and head West, we can keep your savings safe from those pesky tithes.
@Kresslack --- You forgot parts of the conversation:
5/22/17:02 (Market): Kresslack says, "Selling a Mayan Crown for 47 credits
flat." --- You (I, Maefeng) tell Benedominatus Kresslack De'Verres, the Black
Wolf, "Oh, you can trade [credits] in fractions now?" --- Kresslack tells you,
"You do know what a fraction is....right?" --- You tell Benedominatus Kresslack
De'Verres, the Black Wolf, "Yes. //47 dollars flat means $47.00 ... while if it
weren't flat, that'd mean it could be, say, $47.75. Fractions are parts of a
whole. Cents are part of 100, that 100 translating into $1.00." --- Kresslack
tells you, "I specifically said 47. Take your pretentious preconceptions that
you know what you're talking about elsewhere."
So could they reattach everything?
That's not what "47 dollars flat" means.
Flat - (of a fee, wage, or price) the same in all cases, not varying with changed conditions or in particular cases.
Edit: Whoo, 500 comments badge!
I left that part out because the part I posted made you look dumb enough, and the rest just complimented that. Good job trolling yourself though.
@Kresslack
While I do agree that flat, in terms of fees and rates and such, usually means "not varying," if somebody said $47 flat when speaking of an individual purchase, I too would assume they meant in the way @Maefeng did. That is, $47 even, or exactly $47 and no cents. I suppose it depends on your regional vernacular, somewhat.
Except that's not how she took it. I said 47 flat, as in, no more and no less than 47. It seemed like a very straight forward and clear cut figure to me...
Ha, so you think you can cut credits now too?
Come join the Achaea discord!
On the other hand, another interpretation exists, using the 'not varying' definition: 47 credits flat could signify that @Kresslack (do correct me if my interpretation does not conform to your own intention) was selling the crown at 47 credits, with no room for negotiation in terms of lowering/raising the price.
Very astute, sir. I should have just called her an uneducated swine and left it with a, "Good day!"
To be fair with Maefeng, my constant observation of humanity has shown that there are a non-insignificant number of cases where 'flat price' is also used in terms of fractional sums of currency, hence the confusion.
Perhaps saying that your asking price is a 'minimum of 47 credits' would be better for saying that you're not going to go lower than that.
Or, to exemplify my infinite lateral thinking skills, it's also possible that Maefeng (do correct me if the intention was divergent from my following theory) was just trolling/joking around/pulling your leg/muckin' about/goofing off/having fun at your expense.
If you know Maefeng even a little, you'd know she was serious. @Kyrra can be a really great, really subtle troll when she wants too, but Maefeng doesn't have anywhere near that level of skill or foresight. We're talking about someone who tailored clothing out of gold, and is solely responsible for the hilarity that is Project 100. C'mon, let's be practical here.
Anyway, back to quotes for the better. Might possible have some worth sharing tonight.
A female voice of awe-inspiring power bellows, "Or did you mean panties drop at night? I think that'd make more sense."
Epicurus, Master of the Garden says, "That which is happy and imperishable, neither has trouble itself, nor does it cause trouble for anyone else; therefore, it is not subject to feelings of either anger or indebtedness; for these feelings only exist in what is weak."
lol someone cityfavor that dog
I think it's safe to say that both people, incapable of viewing the comments from the others' point of view and getting into an argument over terminology that could be interpreted in two different way, look dumb.
Cascades of quicksilver light streak across the firmament as the celestial voice of Ourania intones, "Oh Jarrod..."
@Kresslack, the ignorant one is you. I was kidding around, one. Two, I didn't tailor clothing out of gold. I made gold and other metals parts of my clothing, and I even tooled shoe frames out of precious gemstones. Three, you know Maefeng less than a little. Four, as for trolling, if I wish to troll, I know very well how to be subtle and use foresight. Also, Maefeng did not create Project 100. It was created long before she existed. Furthermore, how is it hilarious?
(Flawless Victoly): @Jarrod says, "RUDE."
(Flawless Victoly): @Halos says, "Lol."
(Flawless Victoly): Jarrod sadly says, "He killed Unstopabull."
(Flawless Victoly): You say, "Making him Stopabull."
(Flawless Victoly): Jarrod says, "Negative."
(Flawless Victoly): Jarrod says, "He revives."
(Flawless Victoly): Jarrod says, "Still Unstopabull."
(Flawless Victoly): Halos says, "You stroke the corpse of a storm bull tenderly."
(Flawless Victoly): Jarrod says, "Soon to be."
(Flawless Victoly): Jarrod says, "Regretabull."
(Flawless Victoly): You say, "Halos drops the corpse of a storm bull. Halos, riding a giant tortoise,
leaves to the west."
(Flawless Victoly): Jarrod says, "D:."
(Flawless Victoly): You say, "Dumped off so unceremoniously."
[[a few minutes pass]]
Jarrod is pulled back into phase with reality!
Jarrod begins to wield a shield of dull metal bands in his left hand.
Gripping the shield handle firmly in his hand, Jarrod speaks a word of power and electricity begins
to arc across the metal frame. In seconds, a torrent of controlled lightning crackles into existence
to ward off attacks.
Jarrod blinks his eyes rapidly.
Jarrod puts on a pair of eagle's wings.
Jarrod says in a smooth, low voice, "Duanathar."
get bull
I see no "bull" to take.
[[some ruffling of feathers locating/targeting Jarrod]]
(Flawless Victoly): Jarrod says, "I got my bull back."
(Flawless Victoly): Jarrod says, "*sniffle*."
(Flawless Victoly): You say, "Take whatever time you need."
(Flawless Victoly): You say, "Grief is different for everybody."
(Flawless Victoly): Jarrod says, "I'll be strong for Unstopabull."
(Flawless Victoly): Jarrod says, "Gonna buy him a brother."
(Flawless Victoly): Jarrod says, "Unbeatabull."
(Flawless Victoly): Jarrod says, "Build a family."
(Flawless Victoly): Halos says, "#mathonwy." [[Ed. Note: @Mathonwy]]
(Flawless Victoly): Jarrod says, "You'll see our resolution."
(Flawless Victoly): Jarrod says, "It will be noticeabull from a distance."
(Flawless Victoly): Jarrod says, "We shan't be reasonabull."
(Flawless Victoly): You say, "I'm going to vomit."

I CAN'T HELP IT THAT I LAUGH UNCONTROLLABLY AT EVERYTHING OKAY GOD
Less economics, more military science.
Kill, Kill, Kill, KIIILLL.
There can be no economics when every room in every city has been destroyed. At least until you repair them. Then you destroy them all again.
Edit: 100 comments badge. Hayte got a double whammy.
You dip your fingers into the cool water of the bowl, willing it to reveal the location of Okala.
An image of Targossas appears reflected within the bowl, shifting with the rippling water to display
the Angelic Form.
Okala's the embodiment of an angel.

Your secret is exposed!
That love soon might end You are unbreaking
And be known in its aching Though quaking
Shown in this shaking Though crazy
Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby
Tried pressing "Accept", darn deceptive light blue link font colour.
