Room Interaction: Money Exchange (RIME)

C called me.  Evidently Queen Glitter and D had sent G a letter.  G felt the letter was rude and didn’t want to participate in any discussions concerning it.  C is just tired from working all the time at her teaching position and wanted the girls to stop talking, talking, yelling about it.  C read the first line or so of the letter and agreed it was rude because it had the word threat in it.  D is incredibly upset and they all decided they should call me and I should talk (aka listen) to D about it all the way home.

Here’s the Letter in full:


Dear G.M.[Last Name Omitted],

It has come to my attention that you
have just taken back your second threat
in the past two weeks to leave the difference
dollar program.  Not very many rooms trust
you right now, because they are confused
as to why you almost left the difference
dollar system those past few times.  They
are reluctant to rely on you out of fear you
might become a criminal room.  I would like
to extend this invitation to a meeting with
D and I that would be shown to every room owner,
to help them better understand what's going on.  D
and I will ask you questions about the incidents,
and you can ask us question too, if it would help.
Please tell D if you can meet us on 11/4/09
after school for the meeting.  If you have something
planned but still want to go, tell D, and we'll arrange
another date. Hope this helps!

Sincerely,
Queen Glitter

Turns out that G and her room were considering pulling out of the “Room Interaction: Money Exchange” otherwise know as RIME. D spent 30 minutes explaining to me how after G and D created unlimited credit cards the Rooms’ economy crashed and they came up after a week or so with the RIME based on the difference dollar. It has interesting characteristics. First because G and D’s rooms are so close together money exchanges hands because of fees and services as both rooms have the same hard goods. Second, if a room refuses to pay, the value of the difference dollars rise. These difference dollars are smart and know their own value. If the room continues to refuse to pay, there are ghosts go into the rooms and collect the dollars. Etc., Etc. Etc.

For the entire 30 minute drive home, I was stepped through arcane imaginary economic law. Not a single repetition of a rule or point and D didn’t finish explaining it to me.

In the end, G and her room decided to remain in the RIME.
