Co-owns. ;)

I don't think it is.

We got in just before it wasn't allowed.

Regardless, Pi and Elliot are a team so we play them as co-owning things. I think Pi paid the majority for the buildings, but Lancaster runs the businesses. Even if they didn't co-own as an actual grid mechanic, we'd still be writing it that they do. XD

Well, I am. Iunno about Pi there, claiming that she owns it all on her lonesome. :P

You can own businesses on here? I was assuming it was just a general role playing bit, but then you mentioned grid mechanics and I just passed over a place and went in and there's shops.. you guys get to profit from it? (had to edit because i realized it was a vague question lol)

Yes and no. If you own the building there's no profit from it except that you get to own that building, and decorate it as you wish.

But when you level on grid, you can put your stats into Business. If you get your Business, Speechcraft, Charisma, and Intelligence up to nice levels, you can run up to four businesses (either connected to buildings or not) and make a fair bit of cash out of it.

It costs you 20 energy to run a business. You have to answer an issue daily. Unless you have Daywalker then it costs 15 energy. If you get your business to 20 you can run 4 businesses!

And if you tie your business to a location it's popularity does improve with grid traffic I am almost positive... and if your gal wants a job, Alex has an opening at her Art Gallery. ;)

Yes, Pi and Elliot co-own ... Nearly everything. And this co ownership was before it was disallowed.

Welcome to the site!

If you're finding you have any issues with the gaming half of the Path experience, don't worry too much! You can gain EXP through RP, by building RPP. You can also get 'free' experience daily by voting on our top sites which can be found at the bottom of the forum. You can also gain experience by sharing certain 'grid' or game actions on facebook.

I would just generally be sure to get your character into a building or the sewers (for even more exp). The only thing you really really need to know as a beginner is to have your character feed daily, just be sure to do so in a location with security 1 so that your character does not gain bounty violations. Unless that's what you're going for.

But all of the other aspects of gameplay really can be handled slowly (so don't feel like you have to rush into it).

As for the RP, I have 4 characters. If any of them interest you, lemme know and we can chat about plot:

Jameson Dade - Former drug addict allurist who spends most of his time totally destroying his own life. He has a pet dog. He's nice, but kinda off in the head in a goofy way.

Remington Rothfelder - Silent shadow, very pro-secrecy, member of the Tytonidae faction, and generally a bundle of carefully controlled anger that occasionally lapses into violence. None the less, smarter than he likes to appear.

Azraeth - Lover of culture, learning, and magic. He's constantly in pursuit of an understanding of the unknown and arcane. Quite possibly the 'nicest' of my group, he is an anti-political vampire who pushes usually for peace and solidarity of vampiric culture over...well anything else.

Whitaker - Coldly logical, an intelligent man who is slowly taking up personality traits similar to those of a scientist. His current obsession is death, vampires, etc. He's essentially emotionless, but usually polite unless given reason not to be. Loves literature and biology.
