From each according to ability, to each according to need.
Natasha already make private arrangement with @gwwar for loan, but always willing to participate in collectivization.
Natasha put up additional 50b seed funds for great honor of ĐĐMĐ

I do not see where living life and being a banker are mutually compatible.

Depends how many friends youâre going to need when the going gets rough. Debts and payments come in many forms. Even space lizards cultivate allies.
Helping a good captain through the current difficulty addresses two of the three objectives, one short term and one long term:
Make Money. Stay Alive

We do not play in a galaxy where friends and bankers are the same thing.

Perhaps you are reading a different meaning into âcommunity bankerâ than the rest of us.
Iâm happy to change the honorific to anything more comfortable.
What is your word for âpeople who help each other out rather than be Ayn Rand atavistsâ?

COMMUNITY BANKING UPDATE
One loan has been agreed to. The community banking pool up to b85.
Captain Avery Waters of the Smiling Dingo asked for b40.6, and Captain Natasha Fatale of the Audacious Blip agreed to help.
Four captains have come forward to bring the community pool up to b85
@messana Lazlo âScuttleâ Deepwalker pledged b10.0
@davide405 Natasha Fatale pledged b50.0
I hereby pledge b10 (I hope to pledge more - I am still negotiating with my own creditors)
@PromptedInk Captain Sorbet Wooster has agreed to contribute b15.0
Captains currently seeking assistance:
@daneel Watford Gap requests b18.0
@SteampunkBanana Mamma âLuckybeardâ Aiuto requests b40.0
@OtherMichael Savaric Tubertus Wynkn Basiliscos Leontios Palaeologus al Wathiq requests b80.0
@DreamboatSkanky Quirky Kumquat requests b100.0
@rkt88edmo Rkt88 Edmo requests an unspecificed amount
The community pool will operate by consensus, and therefore slowly. Best if you can arrange your own loan directly.
Weâre off to a great start
Self-Interested Cooperation is the basis for all success

Threat? I meant no threat. I merely posed a little academic accounting theory.

Quirky throws back a bracing quaff of Stiff Stiffyâs Stiffy-Stiffening Stiffy Stiffener, and lurches onto the corner stage at Duckâs Pond. Here heâd seen Pinch Wilson, the space lobster comic, absolutely murder a crowd of hecklers with salty one-liners. Here heâd seen folk bonkist Drum Johnson try out new tunes well before anybody conceived that bonking would be considered a form of popular music. Here heâd heard Pastor-Tron 500 preach to the flock about the evils of drink, seconds before Duck pulled his plug and re-orged him into a WaiterBot. Now it was Quirkyâs turn.
Quirky: âCaptains! Merchants! Under-pruh-nurz! Boy hasss Quirky Kumquat got a deal for you! â
Quirky flicks his tail to hit the Electro-Presenterizer â˘. âI wonât look back,â he promises himself. âIâm sure the crew took those dirty turtle pictures off the slide.â
Quirky: â YOUR StarBits plus MY ship plus one of the grittiest captains in all of Gritdom equals OPPORTUNIPROFIT! With things the way they are, and Iâm telling you folks, theyâre exactly like that, you canât afford NOT to offer me some of those useless StarBits, when they could be MAKING you money, instead of hanging out in your pockets with tribble lint and parking tickets. Be the first on your block to say, âHere, Quirky, have some StarBits! ââ
Quirky catches Nilahâs eye as she walks in. Son-of-aâŚ
Quirky: "Ssssssrsly, a stake of 100 StarBits would get us underwear⌠um, under way⌠Thanksss for your times. Ssssss! Thhhhhh!â

âIâm hopinâ our goal here is to get as many captains as sensibly possible off the launch deck and onto any mission other than Misison 1. Seeinâ as movinâ this âdelicate artworkâ has the most promisinâ potentials, Iâm inclined to try anâ steer folks onto Mission 2 if we can manage it. Refits and upgrades should be takinâ a backseat for now.â
Those who are able and willing to pay the costs of outfitting for my missions will have their flawed Unizone components replaced.
âSure hopinâ that includes swappinâ out these dad-blasted Unizone Guidance Systems that are apparently filthy with Unizone DRM. Anything what gets this freedom-hatinâ suicide switch out of our ships.â

Well, you know the slogan of a Hive-Queen: âItâs egg-layinâ time!â
Please note that none of MY relatives suffer from such a carapace-condition. Itâs sad that such things happen, but it is glorious that our galaxy and times now allows such Queens to live in peace.

Is Ella really charging b10 for a 1 HP repair and a 1 MAX HP increase?
I knew she was expensive, but I had forgotten that she was that expensive.
