Ready to spill the beans on that yet OS?

What's this? What's this?
There's new things everywhere
What's this?
There's broken links in the air
What's this?
I can't believe my eyes
I must be dreaming
Wake up, SC, this isn't fair
What's this?

What's this? What's this?
There's something very wrong
What's this?
There's robots singing songs

What's this?
The streets are lined with
Little bots laughing
Everybody seems so happy
Have I possibly gone daffy?
What is this?
What's this?

Yeah it's a reworking of "What's This?" from the 'Nightmare before Christmas' soundtrack - I'm just too tired to be inspired to finish it yet.

I'll do crowd control...

seeing as us Cons are going to be 'underground' in V2 are we going to have to think of ways of laundering our energon?

Now I'm at a crossroads.

I like ya, but now I have to hate you because I was going to parody "What's This?" because of the subject title.

But then I have to like you because that was a grand retelling :lol:

First thought that came to mind was donation feature be there in V2. Although for it to have own section that probably won't be that only. Maybe somewhere that we can store our energon safely just in case its not safe otherwise. Other thoughts were by keeping it there overtime it will grow with interest. Another was maybe it ties into that fortifying territories OS mention, where give our money so it be use to give our territories better defenses.


Sorry to make an on topic post. :P

I hope this is where Omega's "fifth faction" will come in the game, as the decep/predacons can have missions to rob the bank, with the fifth faction as defenders. 8)

OK. I'll let you all in on just a little bit of what this is all about. Cybertron does have an economy.

Most of what you pay out (except gambling games) will go into the bank of cybertron under your faction's economy. Weapons, Armor, Territory fortifications such as turrets and shields will all feed into your faction's economy and the EBC will be selling you all of your goodies after the launch of HMW2.

BUT there is a catch. Each of your factions will have a seperate economy in the EBC. If your faction flounders it will have financial difficulty. This means it will be more difficult for your faction to get money for the war to pay for things like fortifications (and eventually ships in your starfleets)
