QUOTE (blakkie from "need help")
Now make sure Greed doesn't go to your heads and spend the money wisely and you'll be able to get through the ups and downs of slow money/high expense times. You can't expect a payday like that on a regular basis.



so i read this a second ago, and it's probably just the insane amount of sugar going through my body at the moment, but i was wondering "what if a player actually wanted to invest money", not as what they do, but one of those rainy day sorta things.

As i understand it, credsticks are less like a checking account, and more like, say a paypal account, where the money is always there and available, but it doesnt even make the (miniscual) interest that a present day checking account would.

My thoughts are, that assueming they do anything OTHER thank banking, (i.e anything with some sort of risk) I would just let the ups and the downs even out. I dont even think i'd let any sort of skill roll be allowed, like an investment knowledge or anything like that, markets would just be too volatile, this is Shadowrun, not Brokeragerun. but what if they did, just want to put it in a savings account? Obviously, they'd need a REAL sin (or an INSANELY high fake, i'm thinking atleast rating 10 for anything but the shadier banks, where your money may or may not be there the next day.

Anyone else have someone try this, or had to deal with it?
