Well, it was our second "swap meet" meeting tonight and I think it went really well, don't you?

After a lot of coaxing, @i am the champ finally gave up his winning smile, which he traded to me for my autographed copy of a third printing of @Dick Greid's follow-up memoir "My Shell Company Runneth Over - With Hot Cheese Sauce!" (which I got off Flea-Bay).

I think The Champ really got the better end of the deal, but I have to say I'm getting a whole new set of "looks" in the halls with my new smile if you know what I mean. The thing about The Champ's smile is it totally has that "ping!" off the front tooth when you flash it, and a lot of people think that's just some kind of post-processing effect but really it's a part of The Champ's whole psychic tool set, and even though he's missing it now, I think he can learn a lot from Dick Greid's book. I know that I sure did.

Meanwhile, @GOLDIE_D_DURPUS has had a hard time making any trades... she's got an old washcloth or pot holder that she knitted herself, which has jelly on it. So... she's been having trouble getting any takers.

But see?? That right there is core of what Forensic Accountants for Faith is really all about - we need to BELIEVE in the basis of our exchange economy. And if you can't get anybody to believe in it, well, then your economy's got trouble, doesn't it?

Still looking to recruit a few more people into the club. I've been noticing a couple of new students in the lunch room - @Avery Bailey, and that exotic @Ranguva, and am preparing hand written invitations to slip into their lockers.

Is any faith allowed in this club? I'm a dedicated follower of Tarvu.

Thanking you for your consideration,

Somsy

Sorry for the delay in my response, @Somsy, DDS, I've been out of town for the winter break.

In answer to your question - absolutely YES. In accordance with the laws of the United Free Realms, all faiths are welcome in the FAF. What we explore is our faith in monetary systems - which is the lynchpin of any market system. Without a shared belief in "value," an economic system has nothing to hold it together. In the FAF, we explore the limits of that belief, and the possible exploits that loopholes offer.

Naturally, some faiths - especially those involving human sacrifice or non-regenerative limb offerings - might take "value exchange" a little further than our members are comfortable with. But we're all about testing limits! Come and join us after the new year!
