Anyhow, it's easy enough to be understood by any french guy in the forums, so don't worry E5150_ca, everyone will understand you

At least those who speak french

I would suggest you to write it both in french AND in english, are some people haging in Paris don't speak french at all! There are many spanish people there, but my notions in spanish are too weak to help you on this one

Yean we picked the wrong time to stop
sniffing glue staying at the cheap hotels, last time we were here it was like fitty bux.

It all depends on how the hotel owners have their prices set though.
The Tour schedule has a lot more travel days etc now, it was a bit more packed for a bit due to towns close together and knowing we had Halloween and NY upcoming.

Yup, "cheap" hotels are a bit exansive
That's why Never Dies will leave Paris tommorow in brand new mini van!
Why only tommorow? Because i wait to be paid for our show to buy some repair kits... It's a second hand van, so there wouldn't be too much prudence

We now have a dented tour bus; I like that it's dented because it makes it look mean!
However I don't think it has a licorice rope despenser....
Anyhow, we got the new bus from our single sales money.

First travel with the tour bus...and first time broken
I hope it won't break at every single travel, else it will be highly exansive

It's mainly luck really... and while I don't know what 'exansive' means, having your own bus isn't meant to be cheaper but more convenient. And you really gotta let this obsession with money go dude... the game's about a lot more than that but you seem to be overly fixated on how much everything costs.

Right, so that means I actually have less money to spend on whatever day to day than you or Shadd since I'm paying out salaries to my workers and other bills from the Company... I have 2200 or something in my Company account and like 4000 after payday today in my personal account. I'm filthy crazy rich and have lost track of all monetary concerns.
The point is, you all make plenty of money at this point (I sign most of your checks remember?

), much more than to just get by weekly so worrying about how much shopping or hotels or pet food etc cost is obsessing.

Now that I'm earning a comfortable amount ($1200 per week care of April) I don't really think twice about money. $1000 is plenty to spend on rent, shopping, gym, pet food, jamming etc. during the course of the week. So long as I don't spend more than my wages each week then I'm happy.
This is a question for anyone that has studied Proper Drinking Habits: How many stars of this skill do you need before you no longer suffer from hangovers? Is this the only benefit of this skill? Are there any drawbacks from avoiding hangovers?

Not sure I understand the question but let me take a guess what it could be, you pay what was it 12,000 for a company? Well they only keep 2,000 for the processing fee and the other 10,000 goes in as your business' startup money... is that what you mean?

The problem is not with personnal money anymore, since we now have very good salaries and don't have to worry about the life costs anymore
But repair kits are around 400-500$, and it's taken on the band account... Add the gas costs (not a lot, but still...) and nearly half of the money we earn in a show goes in the bus to move to the next city

So that's less money to spend on jams. On the other hand, for sure, the bus tour is far more convenient to travel!

Save your pennies

Or try to get a bank loan... I got a big bonus from booking our Competition at Punks that was part of the Cerebus tour so it made the club about 3 million bucks. That's how I had the money to buy my shop.

I'm officially announcing I don't want anyone to interact with me anymore, even if you are "healthy" we can just never tell anymore so instead of just quitting I'm cutting off all interactions.

Well I'm about 75% decided that the game in it's current state is not worth playing actually, and it surely doesn't seem to be getting any better now does it? Every day brings another halfbaked completely untested great new idea they have to spring on everyone...
So they win. As they say it's "working as it should", making people hate the game and through zero fault of their own not be able to do well with their music careers which is what this is supposed to be about. So since my last cold I've only interacted with bandmates and hid myself away in locales in whihc there were but a few people. And now that time is lost as I've again got a cold and lost another 14% in mood which will adversely affect my show. So aparently they wanted to inact a system that kills the social side of the game and their response?
Frank Blomdahl: Develeper and Snide Condescending Jackass wrote:You were infected by Kyle Guillory whom you were intimate with recently. Things are working as we have previously stated. If you want to avoid getting infected with the cold, the best solution is to avoid exchanging body fluids with a lot of people.
Alternatively, keep doing that, but then accept a flu or cold now and then.

It's all OUR fault you see, there is nothing wrong with their system, it's that >I< should be interacting with four people. But thanks for again insulting me Frank. you're a real asset to the game.
So back to the wonderful "incubation" period; you interact with someone you can't see has a cold and then you have 10 (or 15 in my last case) ten hours before you'll know if you might have a cold and be spreading it to others even though
neither character yours or theirs was shown as having a cold when you interacted. So, It doesn't even give you chance so I guess we just can't interact with anyone who interacts with or is interacted with anyone else in the past say 15 hours.
So, I'm no longer interacting with anyone because none of us can be trusted to be healthy so like Frank says the answer is to not interact with anyone.

I got myself a new job: I'm a high-flying lawyer for Hill's Security Firm. I've well over doubled my wages, giving me more money to spend on keeping my mood up as well as buying the odd skill book
