It is not lack of Sin we need, it is a new abundance of virtue.

Do you own an extra pair of shoes? Let me ask- If you saw a homeless person in need of shoes, and you knew you were going home to an extra pair, and yours just might fit, would you walk home without shoes to make sure they would not go without again? No, you'd give them a dollar maybe.

When you walk past a homeless man on the way to McDonald's cause you feel like eating out, do you often buy him lunch, too?

I think everyone should just be homeless for 2 weeks. I would love to see that. I was for months, and you know what?

I buy that homeless man lunch all the friggin time.

If your neighbor's door was busted, and you could fix it or knew someone that could, would they have to mention it before you called?

If you get more change back than you should have, do you say anything? If a kid kicks a rubber ball ito your yard, do you take it to them, or make them come get it?

When a new person moves in, do you say hello, go back to your house? Or do you maybe invite them to come eat with you sometime?

I want the 1800s back XD

[Illusion]

THAT WAS THE WORD I WAS LOOKING FOR! Virtue. XD
It's been a while since I've heard it. Which is sad :/

[Hermes]

Because many associate virtue with weakness these days.

When you walk past a homeless man on the way to McDonald's cause you feel like eating out, do you often buy him lunch, too? Probably, yes. But I don't see that in Louisiana, well around where I am. XD

I think everyone should just be homeless for 2 weeks. I would love to see that. I was for months, and you know what? It would be fun, if it weren't hot. I mean fun as in doing something different. Of course I wouldn't be happy with not bathing or brushing my teeth, but I am sure the homeless people aren't either.

I buy that homeless man lunch all the friggin time. YOU GO, HERMES~!

If your neighbor's door was busted, and you could fix it or knew someone that could, would they have to mention it before you called? Nope. >w<.

If you get more change back than you should have, do you say anything? You got me on this one, I am evil person. If a kid kicks a rubber ball ito your yard, do you take it to them, or make them come get it? Yes, I would.

When a new person moves in, do you say hello, go back to your house? Or do you maybe invite them to come eat with you sometime? Invite them to come eat lunch or something. Say hello and try to be friends.

I want the 1800s back XD
I like my 2011.
>w< Most because I was born in 1996. XD

Just about answered your questions.

If you'll all permit me to get back to the original topic, the issue is always going to be that Runes cost actual money. Add that to the fact that anyone who likes the site enough to donate is likely a frequent poster, and the prospect of selling Runes for Aurumn isn't all the appealing, given how easy Aurumn is to obtain. Meaning that it's more or less a gift to the community, and one that requires both a generous person and that person having the financial means to do so.

Once I manage to get some money together, I fully intend to start donating regularly and selling/donating all the Runes I get from that. But, I'm at least in a position where I can do that. A lot of people either can't donate, since they're too young, or can't afford to, which has the doubled effect of both making Runes extremely rare and hurting the site monetarily. Conversely, anyone who donates is both helping the site stay afloat and helping the community, if they distribute their Runes rather than hoard them.

And then you get back to the greed issue....

[Hermes]

I think everyone who does not have will always see those who do as greedy

I think those who do have will always see those who do not,and expect charity, to be beggars

I think neither side is right XD

[Caramel Flan]

I don't view people who hoard runes greedy. XD. They paid money for them, let them have runes just like someone saying: "Let them eat cake."

I seem to have gotten the runes I have wanted, so I am through for right now.

[Hermes]

That was a very improper use of that quote, love XD

Suze, do you see a reason for this topic to exist?

[Caramel Flan]

LEAVE MY USEAGE OF QUOTES ALONE.
/runs off crying.

I think it should be locked now.
XD

[Suzerain of Sheol]

I think everything that can be said on the topic has already been said. 12 pages is a pretty long time to go in circles on this subject. I'm not gonna tell you to lock it or anything, though, that's outside of my purview. ^_^

[Hermes]

I'm just thinkin....I know people have been really good so far, but I really don't want to see some random rage post just haning about...

[Demo]

Okay what is wrong with people now? Paying and or selling runes for 3k per 10? This is crazily unfair! Whats worse is that people are willing to pay that much forbthis months items -.-

[Nightmare]

Demo (because I know that's somewhat targeted at me), the only reason I bought them was because I wanted them for the item giveaway I'm in. :U

[Demo]

Thats still insane and higly unreasonable. And its ticked me the hell off that I have witnessed it. Cause newer greedy people are gonna follow that and then there goes the exchange.
