(OOC) GC currency conversion
| Woooo yeah. I wanna see how my Elliott is doing lmao
-Elliott
| Elliott is with IN1 I think... My character had to go on a minor killing spree...

I may be able to handle this.
Buuut I don't have a single clue about the currency in GC (and I'm still clueless even to this day).
| >>92254
All I know is apparently you can buy cupramen for 59 bucks in GC currency and 800 dollars is a guarantee for a half decent meal. I've personally been calling GC currency nuyen but I'll check and see if the game ever actually *named* the currency.
| TO THE WIKI!
-AnoMeat
| Lol find prices in wiki and relate them to identical stuff if there's nothing we can always base zeny of zen from dragon ball z lmao
-Elliott/Kazuki
| Alright, so its dollars. So that means there is inflation
| Oof nevermind -Kazuki
| The wiki is back up?! I wasn't notified of this.
| A drink of rum (1cL) costs 250$
the rum that is refered to in the wiki is Cacique.
a bottle of 70cL goes for about 20£.
| Oof, huge inflation ai
| Unless of course it's like an ehm.. Dollar/Yen situation? -ER
| Okay, so this will be a bit tricky. How about we base the data from VA-11?
| Converting 20£ to $ gives you 27.03.
Dividing the 70cL bottle in to 70 parts gives you a price of 0.39/cL. Comparing the to prices gives us a rate of inflation of 0.39$ to 250$.
| http://va11halla.wikia.com/wiki/Rum is the data I used.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cacique-500-Extra-Anejo-Rum/dp/B009SRU4QQ is the price, just rounded up for ease.
| Okay, so.. Banking money in
VA-ll is not banking money kn real life..
| In us dollars* Sorry am sleepy
| dividing 250 by 0.39 gives a messy number, but if I use 0.4, it gives us a tidy sum of 625.
| >>92288
Rum in VA-11 wouldn't be a great base, since they're selling it per-glass, not as a whole.
Maybe it will be easier to compare the drinks they make?
| so its 1 US Dollar to 625 GC Dollar.
| True. But considering that all bottled drinks are priced at $500, we can't really extrapolate any conclusive data from it.
| We do know that the beer in VA-11 isn't the real beer either, so this will be a pretty nice game of guesswork.
| takeing pricing from the bar is a bad idea, because the prices are increrased for service. anyone got the game, and are able to go to the store?
| >>92311
Yes, but there is base price that can be used. Beer base price is $200, and flows up depending on Jill's service.
| Actually, wait a minute. Don't they have old stuff in JC Elton's?
| So, they have PC-9X, which is a clone of PC-98. We can have a decent "static" data from this.
Or, we can use the mulan tea. Which prices at about $900. I don't know any drinks that are both tea and liquor though.
| there is tea liquor out there.
| And what about nyens?
| Starting to wonder what kind of monster I've created in this task...Sorry for being too afraid of math to figure it out myself. lmfao
| >>92336
The closest I can find to the profile of "green tea" and "whiskey" (which is the game's description of Mulan Tea) is Marlee's Green Tea Whiskey.

Don't worry, at least now I'll know that I probably have disappointed my economics teacher. A simple evening maths to figure out a currency price is always a lovely evening task, haha.
| For zenny we just used the simple conversion of $1 today= 10 zenny. Honestly we didn't want to get bogged down by the math so we just did that and it's worked out well so far. -CN
| Try to calculate with the flat montly cost of jill
| >>92531
Agh. I wish this was a stable rate. Apartment cost varies wildly by where in US you're living. Even if it's /not/ US we're talking about here (since GC can be anywhere), flat rates invariably jump back and forth.
| >>92516
This would be the sane solution, IMHO. But I don't think this'd stop me from doing stupid calculations to find the exact rates of an imaginary currency.
| Zenny it is for my shop then.
| The more you know. Good thread.

##Janitor:Stormy##
| Zenny to USD is 10 to 1 ratio,
Nuyen is pretty close to USD.
We don't run the economy all that strictly, but it basically takes modern USD prices and increases them slightly.
| That's mean some drink in Jill's bar cost 20€ ? Ouuch

| >>92733
I'll think about it. I left it out mostly so that people could just make up things on their own without having to literally calculate everything. Just one less barrier to joining the board. ^^
| >>92243
@OP - I have a terrible sleep schedule, but I do keep an eye on the board! Just... a sleepy one. -IN1

| So. A few ICly enterprising rpers, including myself, want to know a good conversion rate for GC currency from USD and maybe even other forms of currency.
Anyone nerdy enough to tackle this?
Also where IN1 at? A few of us love you and wanna play with you.
