Lodamun's Currency

[Siggon Kristov]

If the roleplayer's as committed as you are with the spreadsheets, it would be OK to have an RP based institution however I can think of a number of examples of RP based institutions (I'm not just referring to financial/economic ones) which had been created and swiftly neglected. Usually it doesn't matter much because of they are little consequence.

These petty attempts can be ignored, and a committed attempt can be rewarded with recognition.

Do you think that Moderation should prevent players from publishing statistics in currencies of their choice?

No, Moderation should not prevent that from happening.

Ah, this is the matter I was trying to resolve, as this is what Farsun and Afrocentric had implied. Thanks for answering.

However I think it would be better to have one currency (formally or informally) used for (at least) simple RP related transactions such as the example of an arms deal or even the new AIIB . It doesn't have to be the LOD (personally I prefer that it remains as the LOD)

That's understandable. I agree that it wouldn't make sense to publish statistics in a different currency each time.

In the past 300 years Lodamun has kept itself very isolated from the rest of the Terran Nations. It would make sense to let RP dictate the most commonly used international currency. It would be cool to see two financial alliances compete against each other, economically.

It shouldn't be the value of the currency that matters, but the GDP of the country concerned.

At the moment the two richest nations in Terra are Trigunia and Rildanor.

Well Trigunia, is technically a nationalist dictatorship, which isolates itself from the rest of Terra (Although it is improving), whereas Rildanor is an internationalist nation, also the founding nation of SATO.

So technically it should be Rildanor, however some countries may see Trigunia as friendly and wish to adopt Trigunia as their "international currency."

What I am saying is that there can be more than one currency.

I would appreciate if persons read the entire thread before commenting, so that they don't repeat nonsense or force others to repeat anything.

And that can change in an instant. We can't keep changing the international currency every second, just because a new nation has the highest GDP.

Well Trigunia, is technically a nationalist dictatorship, which isolates itself from the rest of Terra (Although it is improving), whereas Rildanor is an internationalist nation, also the founding nation of SATO.

So technically it should be Rildanor, however some countries may see Trigunia as friendly and wish to adopt Trigunia as their "international currency."

This isn't a debate about whether the international currency should be Trigunia's, Rildanor's, or Lodamun's. It's not a discussion about which country should host the international currency. It's a debate about whether Lodamun's status as the financial centre of the world must be protected by Moderation.

That complicates things.
But yes, different persons can use different currencies when comparing global statistics. My spreadsheet allows displays to be done in more than just 1 currency.
