Try Red And White Shops, they have them for $205 :thup:

VIP is very cool, especially for shopping and booking tours/jams. As for paypal yeah, you can certainly have a paypal account hooked into your bank account; that's how they started actuallly, they added the credit cards thing later on.

And btw Ox, speaking of chained to bed... ;) I've noticed one of Kyle's recent snugglebunnies is pregnant. Know anything about that? :-p

Minty! You have to do something about the people you let in on the shows. They're throwing beer cans on us. :rant:

Oh, wait! Free beer! :-D

They paid to see you :dunno: *is glad that April's disguise worked and he didn't see her inciting the crowd*

But yes, definitiely, I'll get right on that... I'll call a meeting with the staff. They are a bunch of ruffians anyhow, a lot of them frequent this site called TBL that is well known for having a lot of unsavory characters :-p

That was some killer air drummin during your show though :-D

I'll have you know that I was at the show and did NOT throw a beer can. I don't drink beer in the can. I threw a bottle.

I'm pretty sure most everyone is based in NYC now, but if there's anyone still calling Toronto home, I can hook you up with a clerk job for roughly 1000 USD/week. Just send Jeb Hughes a message in-game.

Thanks for the fire detector ;)

I'll try to find time to go to my bank tomorrow and see how it runs with paypal, as i'd like to become VIP, as it's really cheap and the game is highly addictive to me :p

PITH has given employee raises in anticipation of the income from our Competitions shows fattening the bottom line. Enjoy!

Also we have an opening for a Clerk and a Bartender, both around the 1000 mark, just grab the open slots and I'll adjust the salaries for you.

Resturant spazzilio and i will buy you the book but you need to improve the skill to one star. I will start you on 1000$ and when you reach 5 star 4-5 star then you will get 1600$. Which i think is fair.

There will be some changes in Never Dies!...

As the new band leader, i'd like to add us what we most need: a guitarist!

InSTAALed has the priority for the job, as he is our former guitarist, forced to leave his character due to a password issue (if i remember well).

But the job is also opened for any TBLer, even newbie to the game! So if you're new and interested by becoming the Never Dies guitarist, please PM me about that ;)

I don't know yet, but maybe we'll take 2 guitarists, so even if InSTAALed comes back to Never Dies, there will still be an open job ;)

If no TBLer wants to join us, then we'll search guitarist(s) in the Popoworld, but as we basically started to play with bands fully made of TBLers, i'd prefer to keep this way on...

-----------

Minty: Never Dies has some money to spent and a show in 5 days...

I'd like us to buy a tour bus, but haven't checked the prices yet. How it runs? How much it costs? Is it possible to move it from a continent to an other?

I'd also like a list of the cheapest jamming places in NY sorted by star rating. I mean: the cheapest 1 star, the cheapest 2 stars, etc That would help me to book an efficient jamming program :thup:

Thanks in advance :)

Some guy name Jonah Cobb gave me some sort of a blood test out of nowhere and later on gave me this thing call 'vial of blood'. It seems to be an advance medicine. How do I use it?

Do you have cold? What it means is he did half the doc job to get you a cure, you'd have to give your vial to a doc like Tara who is usually hanging out at NYU to give you medicine.

And EVERYONE: If you have a cold or anything worse (flu, typhus, etc) do NOT interact with others or they will get it. Also don't interact with people if you see they have anything.

Shadd I for one welcome our new bagpipe playing Never Dies running overlords :-p I've given up on asking Ryan/Instaaled to re-join or reclaim Kelly :dunno: But maybe if you send him a message... also he's had comp trouble recently I see :mambo: But I do hope you can convince him to rejoin the game, it was fun having him playing.

As for vehicles, since we don't have the money for stage equipment yet we don't have to worry about how much a vehicle can carry so you only need to get one to keep you from having to hitchhike and coordinate your band, as you set it's schedule and band members set themselves to "fo with tour bus" and you will travel to the next city automatically... but they are 7500 I think it was? And since that's band money you also use that for Jam sessions so it may take you a few stops on the tour before you can get your vehicle as you'll need money to pay for gas then and to get a repair kit and spare tire. We we're about 3/4 of the way through our tour before we picked one up I think.

Jamming NYC:
5 Star: The Spotlight $475
4 Star: Wonderous Jamming $175 (just increased to 4 stars recently so their price might go up soon), The Wolf Jam Zone $225
3 Star: Monkey's Jam Here NY $75 pretty much everywhere else you're better off paying the extra to go to 4stars.

Thanks a lot Minty :thup: Well...we have to save some money before thinking about a tour bus... I hope we should afford it during the tour, or at least when we'll be back to NYC.

Well if you can crack the whip and make sure the boys move to the travel routes after gigs there's really no need for a bus yet... better to use the money for better jams for now. :thup:

Thanks Minty, but which Tara is it? Also, the medicine she will give me is that gonna just cure my current cold or will it prevent me getting cold in the future? cause I was thinking I could just wait for the cold to go away and keep the vial of blood for future use. I dont know...what do you think?

It's Tara Ricketts, the one that the new Ricketts Medical Center is named after 8-) Getting medecines keeps you from getting the same strain of it again.

Jam Check: Spotlight raised it's price to $575 so the best 5 star deal is now FM Jams for the same $475 cost as Spotlight was charging. :thup:

Yeah you have to pay for jams when you book them so they can't raise the price on you afterwards, you already have your ticket in. :-p But it is one of the great benefits of VIP though, the booking assistant =D>
