Graduated. Or actually a mix. But the rules are quite complicated. I'll explain at length only on request. :) There is a 15% fortune tax for bringing money into the country but only if it's above a certain amount. Also earning from investments and interests count as income. No, and actually...

The winner today was: Huh? (Storminator) Tomorrow there's 16,000 in the pot. :)

You should note that 50% taxes is quite normal in all of Europe. But note that the tax system works differently for people owning their own business both here and in Germany. For example, I'm a fork lift operator, which is a job that really doesn't need any kind of education nor do I have any...

It's not likely to have changed much since then. And 80k out of a population of 14.5M that's pretty good.

Congratulations to you both. Strangely the 28th of May I also celebrate 20 years of gaming. :)

Well, I have 8 now. But I still have some objectives to reach. These are in no particular order: 2000+ Def, 2000+ Str, 2000+ MP, 1000+ HP, 100+ Levels, and 1,000,000 gp bank account.

Todays winner is: Greatwyrm. Congratulations. In the poll tomorrow is 12,000 gp.

That's nonsense. unemployment here is about 4-5%, and since just about every leading IT and mobile company (Nokia, SonyEricsson, Samsung, etc) in the world has their main R&D here because of a very relaxed tax on 'experts' especially foreign experts. I'd say that it's relatively easy to get a...

As a new service to our clan members, each day I'll draw a random clan member to get the interest of my bank account. Tomorrow it's 2000 gp. Good luck hunting. -Steingrim Hardesvend

If you want some distraction, you can take a RPG battle with me :)

And it's not that unusual to get killed in one blow by the Balrog, it happens to me too, and I've got almost 2000 in defense and 750 HP's so the chance of that happening should be less than 10% (it scoring higher than 75% and me scoring less than 12,5% = 9,375%). However since the chance of me...

Strangely, when you get killed in one blow you don't loose any mana at all. I don't know if it's a bug or deliberate.

Not quite, actually. Offending the Royal family in public is a felony here (felony, not misdemeanor). But I can't think of anyone ever getting a fine or jailed because of it, and I've seen far worse thing than the picture you posted. Besides I really think the Queen would instantly pardon...

The euro-dollar exchange rate is about 10 to 12, ie a euro cost 1,2 dollars. And remember that a gallon is 3,78 liters, so it's still rough 80% more expensive here. You have to get used to the metric system if you wanna move here. ;) Well, it's 3 times as many people in a third of the space...

Well. If the Norwegian goverment released its savings from the oil production every single Norgewian would be a millionaire in the local currency (about $200,000 per capita). If the US goverment did the same, every american would owe the goverment about $1,200,000. So per capita the US is among...

When I read the first line, it immediately occured to me: "Why don't I post the lyrics to Alice Cooper's School's Out For Ever .. low and behold you already had :)

Well, there is .. levels! :) And to get you 8 diamonds, trust you'll get plenty of those. And let's not forget that each level also improves your Str and Def too.

umlaut? würk?

Oh, in all my posts if there isn't an ;) then there probably should be. :D Or have a very fast connection combined with being in a completely different timezone, so I'm online when the board isn't slow. :)

*looks around gingerly* What do you mean? :)
