Just wanted to know if GMs use this at all to pay their players with. I know most players are hesitant to accept corp script just on principle and possible data trails, but are there advantages to the script as opposed to certified creds? Is is cheaper, for example, to buy weaponry from Ares using its own script? Are scripts completely worthless outside the corresponding corporation or is there a form of exchange that can be used (either between corps or directly into nuyen)?
I was also wondering if the corporate script represents the evolution of our present day credit/debit cards? Maybe VISA reincarnates after the Crash :) |
