I'm willing to try a currency exchange- like Smurphy ran for a while, only [initially] smaller scale. Influence for infamy, infamy for influence.

My home servers are Infinity, Victory, and Pinnacle. There will be an additional 10% fee if either side, or both, is off-home .

1. Even numbers, please. 1,5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 -million inf exchanges. I don't want to do more than 200 million inf at a time until I get a feel for the business.

2. Going from infamy to influence, 1 million -> 1 million. Or, off-home, 1.1 million -> 1 million.

3. Influence to infamy, 1 million -> 800K. (off home, 1.1 million -> 800 K)

4. You give me the money first, then I give you the money on the other side. Simple, avoids trouble.

5. I reserve the right to change my exchange rates or to shut down altogether, if I run out of money on one side or the other. I will let you know current rates before the transaction.

I'm @Boltcutter in game.

Anyone interested?

I might be interested in swapping some influence from Freedom for infamy on Triumph....

Fulmens, does this tie in with your current 1B destruction plans?

Yes.

Transferring 100 million infamy to Triumph: 10 million burnt.
Transferring 100 million influence to Freedom: 10 million burnt.
Half of which gets paid by me, half of which gets paid by Nethergoat, basically.

If people do infinity-infinity (or similar) I don't burn any inf, but do provide a useful service.

...and burned 10M in the process...

Well done. Your Karma (not the IO) is assuaged...

Although, I'm really thinking we should revoke your "Ebil" card, or assess some sort
of penalty...

All this altruism is really creeping me out!

Had a smooth transaction with a shady character going by the curious name Fulmens' ATM at the BM in Sharkhead this morning.

The Goat is now fully loaded for purple hunting season!

Thanks Ful, pleasure doing business with ya!

Could I hire you to convert 14 Infamy from one of my villains on Victory to Influence on Freedom?

No, not 14 million. Fourteen.

It would be an awful shame to see 1.4 influence get destroyed in Fulmens' schemes, Lavitae. I'll help out if you need.

Smurphy never offered better than 1:1

ie. you would never get more infl than you gave him infa, nor receive more infa than you gave him infl. A simple way to keep it profitable. His (Influence+Infamy) never decreased through an inf trade.

QR: Fulmen, I'm fascinated by the INF=INF exchange business you've set up here, but I'm curious, how do you determine the exchange between INFluence to INFamy?

I would think the numbers would be slanted such that Influence would be exchanged at a higher rate against Infamy as there is much more of it floating about.

Smurphy iterated, but he was a lot more available as a bank than I am.

He started at about 1 infamy = 1.1 influence (plus profit margin either way) and ended up at about 1 infamy = 1.4 influence (plus profit margin). Then he quit. Then I started.

I started at 1 infamy = 1.1 influence and my business dried up REAL fast. I think I need to be on and exchanging all the time.
