New item: the Check

I think there should be a Check (for money) so we could turn a sheet of paper into a Check with a quill and insert a certain amount of currants, and add special notes to it. And then someone could read it, and then redeem the check to take out the currants. This would be great if you were trying to save money, or just give free gifts to other players.

  • I don't understand this. If you want to give someone a present you can give them the currents

    And how would it help you save?

  • If you wanted to save money, you could put your currants in the check and then leave it on the ground. So you'd not spend it.

  • @AwesomeCardinal2000:
    Hmm, unless I'm still missing something it sounds silly to me

    I'm not actually against it as on idea, though I can't see myself using them,  but with so much change happening, roughly monthly over the next year, there are so many other ideas I would prefer to have priority over this one

  • This would be awesome! I always give currants to new players but as of now there are only two ways of doing this: 1) going to a mailbox 2) starting a trade and telling the other person not to put trade anything while you insert currants which often just confuses the new player! 
    I have been wanting something like a check for a long time :)

  • IrenicRhonda:, Yeah, there probably are other ideas that are more important than this. But if there's nothing really for creating for the devs, they could use this.

  • I'd like the option to "drop" currents for others to find, but I'm not sure I'd write checks.

  • It doesn't have to be called a check. Just some way to be able to put currants on the ground.

  • Almost, like the guy said with the putting currants in the check and putting it on the ground, This could open alot to some people. maybe ATM's and Debit cards to add more of that personal feeling while in game

  • too complicated.  All that really needs to be done is to actually mint money.  Then, if you want to give someone currants, you would actually give them currants.

  • ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Thats a really good idea, the money should be physical. so you have more play with it..

  • Is it just Australia where the spelling is cheque? Just thought I would check!

  • Canada also.  It is probably more common in Commonwealth countries.
    Posted 8 months ago by Scarlett Bearsdale Subscriber! | Permalink
  • UK it's cheque. But also have fibre (not fiber). 
    Posted 8 months ago by IrenicRhonda Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Or like WalruZ said, you could have both paper/coin money and currants!
    Posted 8 months ago by AwesomeCardinal2000 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Checks/bank nots would be great. I'd love to put 1000c in the goodie bags I make for young players

  • http://www.glitch.com/forum/ideas/19672/ <-- similar idea

    Btw, -1 because you give people currants (even as a suprise or gift) via mail.

  • LOVE this idea! +1

    And this isn't the same as giving people currants. It would make things like doing raffles and such cleaner too, since you could just give the donated money to the winner in the checks, so it would be trackable. And you could have several people give checks as b-day gifts and the recipent could keep track of who gave them what, especially if the paper acted as a "Check stub" after the money was removed, with a record of the amount and the memo.

  • I like it - I have long wished for a good way to just "drop" currants for others to find.
    Posted 7 months ago by Zoethor2 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Like the idea! Don't know if that would help save money, but definitely love the idea of making a personalized message on the check!

  • -1, Spirit11... You posted that after AC. So can't claim plagiarism.

    Ooh nice idea, AC! I would be able to give people money instead of that stupid trade window...

  • I'm reawakening this since I believe this is a great idea.

  • This is a great idea! I think an also other very obvious way of doing this is simply the ability to drop currants. It may not be as cool but what do you think about that?
    Posted 7 months ago by iDylan Subscriber! | Permalink
  • iDylan: I don't really like that idea because you might accidentlly drop all of your currants. Just saying. :)
    Posted 7 months ago by NO DELETIN BACON>:O Subscriber! | Permalink
  • We could accidentally drop all of anything. And if we did do that (hopefully not!) like with any other thing it would be locked to us until we move away. We may not have a 'drop all' option and instead have set amounts to prevent it happening.
    Posted 7 months ago by iDylan Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Maybe we could have just paper money, but I'd really like the part about leaving a message on it.
    Also, Spirit11 never said he was plagiarising me. Give him a break.
    Posted 7 months ago by AwesomeCardinal2000 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • If he was plagiarizing you he wouldn't say so, 'cause then it isn't plagiarizing.
