11:44 <TulipDubois[MR]> Is it within the rules or against the rules to copy and paste a business into each cities business forum?
11:44 <TulipDubois[MR]> word for word, the only change being the city
11:44 <Funshine[MR]> I would say change it up a. It atleast
11:44 <Funshine[MR]> Like integrate the climate or surroundings that are characteristic of that city
11:45 <Kris_Kringle[MR]> Yeah a little something to make readers say "ooh, that's different." or something. ;)
11:45 <Funshine[MR]> Or a possible additional service unique to that city
11:45 <TulipDubois[MR]> I would never do this
11:45 <TulipDubois[MR]> as I see it as spam
11:45  Kris_Kringle[MR] nods and points at Funshine
11:45 <TulipDubois[MR]> an easy grab for points/credits
11:45 <HankMoody[MR]> Right
11:45 <Kris_Kringle[MR]> I'd have to agree I think.
11:46 <TulipDubois[MR]> Is anyone in LA?
11:46 <Kris_Kringle[MR]> Sorry, no.
11:46 <Kris_Kringle[MR]> Well not I.
11:46 <Funshine[MR]> Yes TM had subs and soups in every city :P
11:46 <TulipDubois[MR]> Yeah, but that character is now dead
11:46 <TulipDubois[MR]> and I haven't noticed him do it as his new character
11:47 <Funshine[MR]> Subs was added on his new character I think
11:47 <TulipDubois[MR]> Criseria[MR] seems to have a dupe business
1 user has quit
11:47 <TulipDubois[MR]> Criseria's Creasy Spoon
11:48 <TulipDubois[MR]> I know for sure in LV and LA
11:48 <Criseria[MR]> each one is different if you read inside of it
11:48 <Criseria[MR]> So you need to make sure you read them instead of just assuming
11:48 <TulipDubois[MR]> I do read them
11:48 <TulipDubois[MR]> :)
11:49 <TulipDubois[MR]> But thank you for assuming I don't read them
11:49 <Criseria[MR]> I change the opening
11:49 <TulipDubois[MR]> It's also why I asked if anyone was in LA
11:49 <Funshine[MR]> #drama
11:49 <BlackPanther-[MR]> Fucking uber eats
11:49 <Funshine[MR]> Worldstarrrrr
11:49 <BlackPanther-[MR]> Why would I want melon slices with my happy meal
11:49 <TulipDubois[MR]> Funshine, if you put effort into your posts and someone doesn't and you both get the same reward
11:49 <Criseria[MR]> and talk about how la is in need of one and finding a spot there.. some of them have patios and some of them don't
11:49 <TulipDubois[MR]> would you be upset?
11:49 <Criseria[MR]> some are on corner and some aren't
11:50 <TulipDubois[MR]> Criseria[MR] is it too much effort to make a different kind of business?
11:50 <TulipDubois[MR]> Great example you are setting as a CL
11:50 <Funshine[MR]> Yeah I know what your upset about but nothing can be done
11:50  TulipDubois[MR] claps
11:50 <TulipDubois[MR]> LA the city of spam
11:50 <Criseria[MR]> I do have some different businesses
11:51 <TulipDubois[MR]> Criseria, do you mind if I use your threads but change three words?
11:52 <HankMoody[MR]> I thought LA was the city of sex
11:52 <HankMoody[MR]> In the words of street poet tupac shakur
11:52 <TulipDubois[MR]> Criseria, I'll take that as a yes :D
11:52 <Funshine[MR]> City of fallen angels where ocean meets the sand
11:53 <TulipDubois[MR]> If you are okay with cashing in on plagiarism I'll just get on the fun wagon
11:55 <Funshine[MR]> Someone told me that part of the VIP is based on plagiarism checks. But I dunno how that works
11:56 <TulipDubois[MR]> Someone once told me that crew leaders should lead by example
11:56 <TulipDubois[MR]> but I dunno how that works
11:56 <TulipDubois[MR]> maybe Criseria[MR] can enlighten us
11:58 <&MRBot> Shots ring out through the air as one of the infamous Durden Gang fire!

12:01 <Corona[MR]> https://mafiareturns.com/news/uprofile.php?id=1798447
12:01 <Corona[MR]> so i guess they can aim
12:01 <DoctorDoom[MR]> Well that was just luck
12:01 <DoctorDoom[MR]> Other times they don't have any
12:01 <Kris_Kringle[MR]> meh, there's always a lucky goose.
12:02 <Funshine[MR]> Haley died to durden just after the war too :(
12:02 <Kris_Kringle[MR]> Damn those dirty Durdens
12:02 <TulipDubois[MR]> Criseria, things may be different if your RH wasn't the one that wrote a posting spam thread in OOC
12:02 <Corona[MR]> maybe they miss on purpose just to screw with us
12:03 <Criseria[MR]> Yea but that was about people making a sentence or to threads that aren't thought out and then coming back and reposting in them to build their vip status to finish them up
12:04 <TulipDubois[MR]> And what's the difference between that and your threads?
12:05 <&MRBot> VIP: Congrats Made Man BlackPanther- of Jasmine's ~+~ Absolution ~+~, Pioneer Square, Seattle was awarded a credit for their forum VIP activity!
12:05 <Criseria[MR]> Huge, each one is set up about a different place with different opening yes the menu is the same but it is fully thought out and conclusive. Not me writing a sentence and then coming back in two or 3 post underneath it and finishing it out.
12:06 <&MRBot> CREDITS: Congrats Wise Guy Atropos of Hazel's The Flamingo, The Strip, Las Vegas! (Just won 1 credit / 51 Credits won on IRC this character.)
12:06 <TulipDubois[MR]> This is the Greasy Spoon in Philly
12:06 <TulipDubois[MR]> Criseria had traveled to Philadelphia several times recently for business and noticed a need for a Quaint Diner that everyone can bring their friends and eat, and that will serve Paper Bag specials for those on the go. So she decided to open a diner in Old City District.
12:06 <TulipDubois[MR]> She found a storefront and decides to go for her dream. Once she gets the keys to the place, the interior design starts to come together. She even made sure there was a cute little awning. with a patio.
12:06 <TulipDubois[MR]> There is a bar top tables, booths, and a few tables that can be pulled together to make one large table for the larger gatherings. She wanted to make this place an iconic for the city. The walls have pictures in black and white of the most beautiful sites throughout the city. She named the place Criseria's Greasy Spoon.
12:06 <TulipDubois[MR]> and this is the LV one
12:07 <TulipDubois[MR]> Criseria had traveled to Las Vegas after opening her flagstaff store in Detroit, and found that Las Vegas also had a need for a Quaint Diner that everyone can bring their friends and eat, and that will serve Paper Bag specials for those on the go.
12:07 <TulipDubois[MR]> She found a storefront and decides to go for her dream. Once she gets the keys to the place, the interior design starts to come together. There is a bar top tables, booths, and a few tables that can be pulled together to make one large table for the larger gatherings.
12:07 <TulipDubois[MR]> There was a selectophone (Jukebox) that would play music. She wanted to make this place an iconic for the city. The walls have pictures in black and white of the most beautiful sites throughout the city. She named the place Criseria's Greasy Spoon.
12:07 <TulipDubois[MR]>
12:07 <Funshine[MR]> TBF I dunno how much of the VIp is based on post count rather than word count
12:07 <TulipDubois[MR]> and I know there is also a spoon in LA
12:07 <TulipDubois[MR]> that is VERY similiar
12:07 <TulipDubois[MR]> and like you said, the menu is the same in each
12:08 <TulipDubois[MR]> different opening?
12:08 <TulipDubois[MR]> ok
12:08 <Criseria[MR]> Yes but there are unique items to each one. I made sure of that.
12:08 <Criseria[MR]> like the selectophone or jukebox in lv
12:08 <Criseria[MR]> and the one in lv metions the first one one in detroit
12:09 <Funshine[MR]> Can't we all just get along? <3
12:09 <Criseria[MR]> and there are differences to each and everyone
12:09 <TulipDubois[MR]> Hun, spam is spam
