Welcome to Magpie National Bank!
Here you can access your bank ledger via our Google Sheet. Both players and mods can view and modify this ledger, helping you keep your finances up to date! View the ledger here:
BANK LEDGERS
This is also where you submit special purchase requests. Whenever you want to buy something not listed in the shops, such as a custom item that doesn’t have a specified price, you will need to make a purchase request to have a price issued to you. Special items that must be acquired through the Shady Merchant can be requested here and purchased here. You will also need to inform the bank when you upgrade your home or business, change jobs, or start a new business!
However, for non-upgrade items with predetermined prices such as your grocery budget, you can just add them to your ledger without making a formal request. This also includes items with previously determined prices as found in the buyer's guide.
Have financing questions? You can ask them here as well! We are always happy to help.
Re: Special Purchase Request
Our intention with the economic system we established was to minimize the need to do detailed math for individual items as much as possible, so modifications to characters' homes are sorted into broader categories with set prices that can be found under "Upgrades" on the Shops page. For that purpose we would classify the farm plot as a "room" and the fence a "Room Remodel" as it's not a drastic enough change to fall into the next category up. In this case, it's not necessary unless Eddie wants to change the fence that's there/reinforce it, but for the future that's how we'd determine these costs!
As for player-to-player purchases, the lore reason for activity bonuses is that community rapport translates to more business, so to further simplify things: narratively, you could ICly portray your characters exchanging money, but OOCly the way you pay them is simply by threading with them long enough to earn them an activity bonus!
Sorry for the wall of text but I hope this makes sense!

(You should see some of the starters I write for my comic book muses' PSLs...)
I do intend to thread long enough with River and Angel to earn them bonuses, so that's good. I am perhaps overcomplicating things in this case but thank you for your patience in explaining. I'll note a Room Remodel on his bank ledger (and adjust my IC play, hee!)
