Amazon Coin System

What Are Amazon Coins?

 Amazon coins are a Role-Play currency to use in your daily IC interactions. You can trade food and other items to earn coin, and there are also various markets throughout the Amazon where you can buy food and useful items. You can also pay and receive coin from other players using their Life HUD.

 We do not use Lindens or any form of RL money in our RP. Amazon coin are a virtual currency and are stored either in your Amazon Life HUD or with the 'Accountant' who keeps your coins safe for you at Tanana.

On the very first time, you accept the Amazon Experience, you are gifted 200 coin to get you started. Subsequent acceptance of the Experience, does not give you more coins. 

Amazon Life HUD

When you trade or are paid coin by a player, the value is added to the total in your Life HUD. Any money that you pay out either buying items or paying players is taken from the balance in your HUD. 

Your Life HUD can hold a maximum of 10,000 coin, so we recommend that you don't keep it filled to the maximum. If you are carrying the maximum amount, and you trade or are paid by a player, you will lose what you earn if it takes the HUD over 10,000 coin.

To check how much you have in your Life HUD, use the 'Who Am I' function:

 Ψ Maccus Ψ

infections?:None
Ammo loaded: 40
Nets loaded: 0
Curare Arrows: 3

When you have too many coins stored in your HUD, you will receive a warning to reduce the amount stored. 

Trading 

You can trade food and other valuable items at any of the many 'Trade Tables' throughout the jungle.

To trade an item, rezz it on the table and then touch the table. The table will take the item and send coins to your HUD.

The Accountant

Sooner or later, your pouch may be too full of coin for you to want to carry it around. You can visit your accountant to manage your affairs.  

He is to be found in Tanana which you can reach through a portal if you have discovered Tanana already, or by Role-Play with locals to find this hidden land. 

Only one person at a time may carry out financial transactions with the Accountant.

  • When you approach the Accountant, he will first give you a choice of either your personal account, or your shared tribe's account. 
    • Note: How as a tribe you manage who can access your coin is up to you, but all members of the group that the Home Stone is set to can share in the account, both to deposit or withdraw.
  • So, for this example, we will select the 'Mine' option.
  • The accountant will then check your account and tell you your last 10 transactions with him and how much (if anything) you currently have on deposit with him.
[15:11:36] your accountant: Here are the last 10 entries for your account:
