I am new to this forum thingy stuff - but have been a fan of TCTC 1 & 2 for many many years now.
Thought I would give this a go but what is this WGD thing about. Where do they come from and what is the bank all about. Why have some of you got those pictures of White gold and andelain and stuff - how do I get some?
Hi verement! About white gold dollars: you get 3 WGDs for every post you make and something like 4 or 6 for every new topic you create. If you go to the "Bank" function above you can save and gain interest on your WGDs--when you have enough then you can purchase the real-estate: Andelian, Coecri, etc..foodstuffs: aliantha, diamondraught, etc, aquire knowledge from the Lorestaat: wards, whitegold, etc...and even gamble them in the Casino--to do this you go to the "Shop" function above--and if you go to "Effects" you can pay to customize your name and title.
The Real Estate and Knowledge stores are depleted right now--but Vain is working on either 1st changing the board's host (nothing to worry about) or doing a major re-stock--so please be patient...thanks!
Well, I don't know much about financial matters, but if "superannuate" means "donate 10's of thousands to Fist and Faith," then yes, I think it's ok. They can do that, right Vain?

Well ... if that's what it means ... I suppose its ok ...
At one point early in December, I seemed to have inherited a large sum of WGDs (I believe DR took credit fro this?), only to have ALL of my WGDs taken away (even the ones I had started out with when I registered).

I have no info to help you, Dukkha. I don't know how it was all decided. Unfortunately, some real craziness went on in the first place. I don't know much about these new-fangled computer thingies, but I can't imagine there's any way to track all of the millions of WGD's that shouldn't have been in circulation, and delete them. The best attempt possible may have had some unfortunate side-effects.

So I'm taking that to mean that some sort of unilateral correction was made to address abuses of the system? I can understand that... I just wanted to make sure that I myself hadn't done anything stupid/foolish to lose my WGDs...

No, you didn't do anything. We've all had our WGDs yoinked by Nekrimah-boy over there But he's a nice, friendly autocrat , he'll help if you ask
