YanYanGanaffi Posted November 24, 2004 Report Posted November 24, 2004 I was wondering; how the hell do you earn geld? I see all sorts of Pennites with it, and since I can't mug someone for it or rob the Pennite treasury, I'm *sigh* willing to earn semi-honestly. And after I get it, how do I spend it?
Tanuchan Posted November 24, 2004 Report Posted November 24, 2004 (edited) It was part of the activities held by occasion of the Summer Solstice Carnival... we had lots of chances to earn geld and spend it You can see the threads involved here (index) and here (geld rules). The event where we spent most of our geld was the Bachelor Auction, with the results here. There was also another auction for some items. (The thread on the items auctioned is accessible just for Pages and up... but you can see the stories at Assembly, if I'm not wrong.) Next event of this kind will be the Winter Solstice Carnival, in about a month. ~~~~ Edit: typos... and Sal also answered below Edited November 24, 2004 by Tanuchan
Salinye Posted November 24, 2004 Report Posted November 24, 2004 Great question, Yan-Yan! The geld system is something we created during the summer solstice carnival. The winter carnival is just a few weeks away, so you'll have your chance to earn and spend with the rest of the Pennites! Basically, during the carnival there are numerous ways to earn geld. Competitions, writing exercises, random silliness, etc. Some people even sold services. There are numerous ways to spend the geld as well, bachelor/bachelorette auctions, rare item auctions, paying to do certain thins in pennite created carnival booths etc. Okay, I tried to find the old geld thread and gave up, but have the original copy of the explanation saved, so I'll copy it here, but if you can find the original post, it has some questions and answers on that thread. It's in the Cab room. I hope this info helps and GOOD LUCK! ~Salinye **copy of old announcement below** Geld, Geld, GELD! Orlan has created a place in our profiles that will record how much geld we earn throughout the entirety of the carnival. It will be updated regularly to reflect gain and loss. :0) Each event at the carnival will have a geld amount attached to it. The tag event, which has already started, will be edited to include a 10 geld reward for participating. So, those who have already participated will earn 10 geld and those who participate further will do so, as well. Whether or not certain events can be done more than once will be stated in each event, as well. Or, to be more accurate, whether the event will pay out more than once. :0) I’m sure you’re welcome to do any event more than once. Now, if you decide to create and run your own ride, booth, swap meet, sell services, run ads for the carnival or anything else related that you can dream up, than that also will earn you geld. Geld will be able to be used at the various auctions as well as to purchase anything someone may be selling. For instance, perhaps someone will advertise that they will make sigs for geld. (just a random example) Also, don’t forget, that you should save up for the winter solstice bachelorette auction as well! Happy Geld Hunting!

The Big Pointy One Posted November 24, 2004 Report Posted November 24, 2004 Also, you can give all your base. Or your food. Or your cash. Or your love (scratch that, all the love of all the young ladies you know, are related to, or have seen within the past 30 years.) ^.^
Venefyxatu Posted November 24, 2004 Report Posted November 24, 2004 Aaaahhh... Venefyxatu rubs his hands and tries an evil cackle which becomes a wheezing cough If you'll excuse me, I have some plans that need working on now that I know this... Venefyxatu leaves the thread, so lost in thought that he doesn't even notice he bumps into YanYan and apologizes.
Ayshela Posted November 25, 2004 Report Posted November 25, 2004 actually, the Winter Festival will be very soon, the Bachelorette Auction is in about a month. Will be starting activities off around the first of December.
