If it helps, my reason for not voting for you writing whatever you want wasn't that I didn't trust you. It was that if we did that, then this stops being a quest for that update.

And actually, going forward that might not be such a bad idea in low pressure situations. I would be totally fine if most of our Leaf plans read something like: Do specific task X, but other than that the QM writes what they want for the week. I do think that this specific update should have a player plan, but that is because it really wasn't a low pressure situation.

Harumph. I *was* going to tie up all the social drama and leave things happy and shiny again so that we could get back to the important stuff. (Punching.) BUT! Since you weren't willing to trust me I shall have to extract my terrible karmic price.

So the pin is worth five thousand dollars. There's our capital for the tournament betting.

You have more than that. Would you mind going over to the players timeline (PLAYERS - Timeline: Part 2) and check to see when the deal with the Pangolin Clan was made? You have been collecting a LRO30,000 allowance every month since then, and I don't think you've made any huge purchases. I'd need to talk about it with the QMs and maybe @faflec could remind us of stuff you've spent money on, but you probably have quite a bit of that left. Plus, you could just ask Jiraiya for some cash. There's a largeish family war chest at this point.

Alright then. We first got a payment in Chapter 154, which consisted of an upfront payment of 3lb diamonds and monthly payments of 60lb gold. This was on October 21, so we'd have gotten 1 month's worth of payment after that (it's a bit after December 6). Therefore we should have gotten 60,000 + however much 3lb diamonds are worth (no idea how much exactly, but they're all high-quality so...). We've spent money doing some things like bribing people to let us drain them for Events (?), purchasing Jiraiya's birthday present (15,000 ryo), and buying general stuff which shouldn't cost a lot. So...

"So," Keiko said carefully, "the upfront payment will be three pounds of diamonds, the full-time availability of Pankurashun and five elite pangolin of my choice, plus the training jutsu for each member of Gōketsu and five other jutsu of our choice. After that, we agree to a monthly payment of sixty pounds of gold in exchange for ninety of the Pantokrator's Judging Eyes." She paused, considering, then nodded. "My clan leader will probably be angry with me for doing such a poor job of bargaining but I suspect he'll accept the deal rather than shaming me by forcing me to go back on my word with such an important ally as the Pangolin Clan."

"Fifteen thousand," he said after taking a moment to figure out whether it was possible at all. "Half now, half on delivery."

"I remind you that we are under no—"

"You've left your shopping until the last minute, haven't you? I can tell you now that nobody is going to make any personalised gift worth a damn for you in time for that kind of deadline, even if wasn't borderline treasonous. Assuming I'm kind enough to take this on, that's no food or sleep for me for the next three days."

"Fifteen thousand," one of the other goons said, apparently to himself. "That's a lot of seals."

"I don't accept chakra beast parts in payment. Not after what happened to poor Kinshirō."

"That wasn't—never mind. We'll take it."

"Good. Now hand over the money and get out. I need to start work straight away."

Cool, thank you.

One note: The number on the lbs of gold is probably going to quietly change at some point. Your income won't, but we have been trying to figure out an exchange rate from gold to LRO and the number that I wrote in that chapter is out of whack. Again, this won't actually change your purchasing power, just put it in a more sane framework.

Perhaps? I don't recall specifying but IIRC we were out of spare cash after buying Jiraiya's birthday present and had to make do.

Incidentally @eaglejarl @Velorien @OliWhail have the inventories in the character sheets been kept up to date/updated recently? Hazou's is still looking pretty anemic when it comes to seals.

We also used them to bribe/butter up that nameless Leaf team Leaf Team #15, whose appearances we've been caught using. Not sure if that counts as "barter", and it's definitely irrelevant to money accounting.

Come to think of it, we have some crazy disguise skills, especially given how we didn't invest into them much. How did w
