Curious Artila Jellyfish Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I don't want to pay, like 30 bucks for this game! It's not like it sucks, but 30 bucks is a bit much for me to pay at the moment, considering I can't get a job yet. Is there any way to get some sort of discount or package?

Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 There's no way you'll be able to get this game if you have less than $30 to spend (unless you wait for the next sale — they tend to have one per year or so). You can get it in combination with other games at a discount, but the total price tag of the games will still exceed $30. Think about how much you're getting for $30, though — literally hundreds upon hundreds of hours of gameplay with well over two hundred scenarios.

Rotghroth Rhapsody Tonweya Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Get a paper route, mow lawns, scrap aluminum cans, whatever. You'll find a way. Every day you wait is a day you miss out playing them at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Jellyfish Posted April 29, 2005 Author Share Posted April 29, 2005 I forgot to say - right now for me, it's like 40-45 bucks for me and my canadian ways. (Maple Syrup isn't as delicious as they say. Quite expensive too. Table is just fine.) I also want the editor, which adds another like, 10-15 bucks. I need 50 dollars cad for the game and scenario editor.I can't exactly make much recycling the cans and bottles around the house, it's only about 1.80/wk!

Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Uh... the scenario editor comes with the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Not only does it come with the game, it's actually free with the demo. If you have the demo, you probably already have the editor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 As was alluded to above, if you buy any other game at the same time you can get BoE at a discounted price (namely, $15). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Ash Lael Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 What you do: 1) Find parent. 2) Ask parent if you can donate blood. 3) When they ask why, tell them that you really need 50 bucks. 4) Parent will give you a few alternate suggestions on how to earn 50 bucks. Take them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Jellyfish Posted April 30, 2005 Author Share Posted April 30, 2005 Tried that. They have no Ideas. I already have no. III because my mom likes it. And I think I meant the char. editor. I really need money! Care to donate to the anti-mugging you fund? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 The character editor also comes with the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Do you have the demo for E3 and need to register it inorder to use the character editor? That would make more sense. There are lots of ways to earn money. I got myself a paper route in grade school. Lemonade stand is a classic (though I don't think it's ever brought in much in reality). Offering to do yard work for the neighbors. If you're involved with a church, offer your general services to the congregation. Tell your teachers your trying to earn some money and see if they have anything for you to do. Basically just ask everyone you know if there's anything (within reason) that they'd pay you to do for them. (Just use your common sense for what you agree to do. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Princess Ruth Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Can't you borrow the money off your mum and pay her back bit by bit? That's how I bought my flat and my car!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Jellyfish Posted April 30, 2005 Author Share Posted April 30, 2005 what a topic. you guys are much more helpful than guys on other forums! perhaps I shall have a "bake sale" with the profits going to me.

Easygoing Eyebeast ben4808 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 You better not say the profits are going to you. You should say they're going to a "worthy cause." That sounds much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious Artila Jellyfish Posted May 2, 2005 Author Share Posted May 2, 2005 I have finally found employment! On the weekend, i'm supposed to talk to a local restorant owner about putting up and handing out flyers. probably gonna have the cash in like, a month. And you just can't compete with carwashes around schools. You just can't here. I live on an island with about 2.2 million other people, try ot guess where I am! HINT: On a clear day, I can see vermont from a small mountain, with a radio station, uhh...., thing on it. EDIT: A problem has asisen! Mother is suspicious of my work!

Well-Actually War Trall Ash Lael Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 ...so? I mean, why on earth would it worry her if you're doing odd jobs and earning money, unless you're selling drugs or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Sit her down at the computer, point out the game, and tell her you want it so much you're willing to work for it. You said she enjoyed E3, too, right? She should be more then happy to let you earn it, considering she won't buy it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Jellyfish Posted May 3, 2005 Author Share Posted May 3, 2005 I forgot to add that i'm too young to legaly work, and get an actual paycheck and such. I won't do it then. *wink* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Ash Lael Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Cash in hand is legal, isn't it? Officially it's not a transaction - you're just helping a few people out of the goodness of your heart, and they're giving you a gift of a certain sum of money out of the goodness of their heart and to encourage you to keep on being such a good kid. Or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Jellyfish Posted May 3, 2005 Author Share Posted May 3, 2005 My argument was that it's just a job putting up flyers. Also, who can guess where I live? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast VCH Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Seeing as you are a Canadian I could lend you 50 dollars at say 25.5% interest following the first month. That way you can play the game immidiatly and have sevral months to get the actual money together. I would of course accept minimum payments of say one dollar.

Magnificent Ornk Donald Hebb Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Keeping in mind that 25.5% interest is roughly 24% above what it is here in the US... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Keep in mind that's the inflation-indexed Federal Reserve interest rate, not the kind of rate an average borrower will get on a credit card or even a home loan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Donald Hebb Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Well, yeah. But discount rates also result in an unbelievable rate for Joe Schmoe. For instance, we have an inordinately large number of people with middle class incomes who lead upper class lifestyles with the caveat of placing themselves utterly and irredemably in debt. The crazy-high debt on our account books will result in our selling assets within the near future, including golf courses, slaves, and California. And it all started with a simple purchase of a shareware game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Drew Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 The interest rate on my student loans is about 3.5% right now (should have consolidated sooner ). Finding a rate lower than that (outside of 0.0% financing from auto dealers desperately trying to clear out their inventories) is pretty difficult. Anyone in college/their early twenties is likely to get hosed when it comes to credit card interest rates, and almost no one in that age group has any collateral to put up for a bank loan. The big thing though is just to avoid debt outright, with the exception of real estate mortgages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Ash Lael Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 It is my intention to never go into debt, ever. We'll see what the real world has to say about that, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
