Doyleton Purchase Guide and Request

If your character is looking to purchase something, you've come to the right place. Most of the businesses in Doyleton are willing to offer goods and services to Landel's Institute patients so long as they have the proper amount of funds in their cards. Though the overall concept is fairly simple, there are a few things players will need to keep in mind before making an IC purchase:

1. Not everything is up for sale. All shopkeepers will bar patients from purchasing anything potentially dangerous or cumbersome (e.g., knives at Kitchin' Fixins or larger electronics like computers).

2. All purchases will be confiscated by the military when the patients board the buses at the end of the day. They will be returned at dinner along with their usual NS-only items (unless they've misbehaved).

3. Patients can trying haggling for a better bargain, but harassment of any townspeople will not be tolerated. Anyone abusing Doyleton folk will be warned and punished accordingly.

4. A patient can make a purchase with someone else's card so long as the card's owner is beside them during the time of purchase. A good rule of thumb to use is RL approach to credit cards. If a patient can't prove they are authorized to use the card, they cannot buy. There will be no exceptions.

5. Patient purchases do not require a NPC mod every time. You may request for one if the circumstances call for it, but in general, if the patient just wants to buy something simple, go ahead and have them do so in your own posts (after you receive the proper approval for the purchase, of course).


If your character plans to buy something, please fill out the following form first:

SUBJECT LINE: Purchase
Character: [Character name] [livejournal.com profile] _username_here
Requested Item(s): What your character is looking to buy?
Current Funds: Tell us how much is on your character's card.
Do you need a NPC mod for this transaction?: Y/N
Day #: [location here]



Post this form to the appropriate location, and a NPC mod will approve/reject the request as well as let you know of the costs involved. Please do not go forward with the purchase until a NPC mod approves your request.

As usual, if you have any questions, feel free to ask here (make sure to mark the subject line as Question) or throw us a contact.

No NPC needed so far as the thread is going now, though...

Kurogane bought a bottle ($16) and just started drinking straight from it (http://damned.livejournal.com/1090462.html?thread=77547422#t77547422). Would that earn him anything from the bartender or a staff? XP

Sorry he's difficult...

Since a bottle of wine for one person is a lot, then yes. The staff may come and take it from him when he's close to half done because they won't want him getting drunk regardless of his limit. Half a bottle is close to two/three glasses of wine, so after that he'd be asked to leave the premises/escorted out and his bottle confiscated until NS.

He ended up with a threadmate that's keeping him one sort of sober. No NPC needed! Thank you!

This icon, it is for you!

Haha, I thought so... Ok so, since he won't have really done anything he thinks merits him being kicked out that might result in some aggression. He would be annoyingly understanding of them taking it until later, but the part of making him leave would get the aggression. Because he doesn't get drunk, mostly...

Dunno how far it'll backthread, but there's the heads up!

Re: Purchase (maybe)

[personal profile] gald_digger 2011-05-16 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
Yep, those are the ones!

She'll get those binoculars and the keychain flashlight. Thanks!
gald_digger: (Step one!)

Purchase

[personal profile] gald_digger 2011-05-16 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
Character: Anise Tatlin [livejournal.com profile] gald_digger
Requested Item(s): Apple gels! Fruit gummies! Also gummy bears, gummy worms; she'll be looking over whatever gummy candy they have and carefully selecting from that. She'll also be looking at granola bars / protein bars if she still has some money left. (Which I think you set at 3.50 a box earlier. Should I assume that's a box of 12 or so?)
Current Funds: $8
Do you need a NPC mod for this transaction?: N

Sounds good. Thanks!

Re: Purchase (maybe)

[identity profile] bodhiandspirit.livejournal.com 2011-05-16 07:36 am (UTC)(link)
All right, I guess she'll get the rectangular lens.

It turns out she was left with 7.50 before, so this brings her to 4.50.

Anything larger that he could get for a bit more? :|a Just because canvas style won't work particularly well for medical supplies.

[personal profile] freewill 2011-05-16 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Approved! It'd be $2.

The reusable bag is $2, whereas the six-pack will be $7.

The gummies would be about $1.50 per bag, and the granola is for ... let's say a box of 8.
