JEWELS
Oh, the shiny jewel. It is the currency for this game. And just like in life, you do not need riches to succeed, but damn, they sure help, don't they?
HOW TO GET 'EM
Obtaining jewels is easy to understand but difficult to execute.
At any given time, I will post a jewel on this board plus a qualifier. If the person who posts meets that qualifier, then they will receive the jewel! Jewels cannot be given to other players. Also, the number of jewels a person has will be kept private. There will be times when winning jewels will be public, however it will not always be the case.
THE SHOP
Jewels have one purpose - to be spent on items in the Shop. To buy an item, just PM me. Each item is priced and has a certain number in stock. Items in the shop come and go each day, so you'll never know what you'll find - just because there are 10 of them in today doesn't mean they won't all be shipped out tomorrow. Contestants are allowed to spend as many jewels at the Shop per day as they like. All items come with a detailed explanation of when they can be used. All purchases are kept confidential.
All purchases must be confirmed by me before they are final.
