| Message | Unless you're considering people making 175000 rubles a year poor. . .they'd probably be quite offended at that. . .might tell you to get the hell out of their country club! (BTW, OOC, so that we know what we're talking about. We established a while back that the 1KBR has the same buying power in Kalistan that $1.50 USD has in the US. So, in other words, the average soft drink out of a machine approx $0.65 US) would be 17 Noomoo in Kalistan. (3 coins, btw, 10, 5 and 2 N, less than the usual needed in the US of 4.) A fast food meal for one, say, 4KBR, fancy dinner for 2, say 40KBR, a car, say 13,333KBR 13 N 410 p, so 175000 KBR a year is $262,500 USD. Nowhere close to poor. Check the wiki for the math.) |

| Random fact: Cultural Protocol bills must provide a real-life equivalent or short description for the ethnic groups, languages and religions contained in them, such that it would be easy for an unfamiliar player to understand (e.g. "Dundorfian = German"). Where appropriate, they should also provide guidance to players on where to find help with translations and character names. This might include, for example, links to Google Translate, Behind the Name's Random Name Generator and Fantasy Name Generators. |
