I’m glad you understand now. I thought everyone knew what had happened so I didn’t think to explain it that fully.
He would know which items he bought with that money, so if he sends you a list you can do the calculations and give him back the funds, and he can then pass those funds back to the people he robbed, and it should come out more or less even because I believe he only robbed enough to just cover the discrepancy.

Sounds like a plan.

Alright Mr. Dreamwalker, the fate of the election rests in your hands now. \:D/

Also note that, most of the money he spent went toward shop items. And he maybe gave about $100 to the members around the board (in all).

On snubs' advice.

I only robbed to cover the discrepancy, but that doesn't mean the robbery wasn't legal.

Snobby Arkan is being snobby.

And story arcs are story arcs.

Right, so besides me and many other members of the forum being robbed, does this have anything to do with my avatar being changed to a crying baby?

I know this is confusing, so I made a flowchart to clear it all up.

Oh, forgot about you. :P
You don’t need it cleared up though, you know what’s going on.

Heh heh. :P It would be nice to see a summary. This is rather complex.

You would. ;)

Actually I thought I had it figured out before, but now your flowchart has just confused me. :(

You poor thing.

I knew what had happened. .but the flowchart is actually more confusing. Now I'm all messed up trying to follow the lines around.

It was a joke. :P As far as clearing it up anyway. It does actually show what happened, but not in the easiest to comprehend way.

Here’s a serious breakdown:

Money added for Arc = X
Money spent at shop = Y
Money robbed from people = Z
Money left after shop purchases = Q

X - Y = Q = X - Z
(Because Arkán only robbed enough to cover the gap.)

The key here, what Jelly was missing before, is that Y = Z
So if Y is refunded, then sent to the robbery victims, it comes out even.
And that’s why it’s not extra money. Q + Z = X and Q + Y = X

Well, your post was merged into an already existing thread that Hadassah had just started. ;)
