@Fulmens:
rofl! If I thought there was something in bases worth having that much
prestige for, I'd consider doing this myself... That said, it looks like the
folks posting before me will keep you busy enough.
Get to Work!!!

And here is another 2 bil thanks to Fulmens donation! I and my SG thank you sir!
4 billion in one day all to prestige
I did this on a smaller scale 2-3 weeks ago, but never realized folks would be so interested. One of my villains had more infamy than I knew what to do with, and I was tired of marketeering with him at the time, so I converted 1.2B into prestige. I had just invited my 7-year-old son's brute into my SG after transferring him from another server in February, and he wanted to work on the base. I upgraded my base plot size, bought 3 rooms for him, and told him to go crazy with the 800K prestige I had left over at that point. Should have taken pics documenting the process.

So. Now that the markets are down, I'm bored. And I can email inf to myself.
Mintmiki? Bashful Banshee? Slax? Who's up for an oldfashioned potlatch?

I love reading thread like this. It makes me think I'm playing another game. I am happy for earning 40 millions and you guys treat the inf cap like pennies.

Nice!!!! Everyone talks about inflation, but very few people actively burn inf (i.e., take it completely out of circulation) like this. You have inspired me. I'm going back to one of my old money-losing schemes because of it!
