    Whats all this new layout on GC about, I now seem to be able to Bank with GC by clicking on the $GC icon at the top right.

    I am the fourth richest person on GC, with 15 $GC thingies?????????
    What can I spend it on?

    I can request a loan:
    "Amount must be between 100 and 1,000 $GC, and may be moderated. Minimum payments of 10.0% need to be paid back every 30 days to avoid late fees. Interest on outstanding balances is 19.5%. You may set up automatic payment plans. Your credibility rating may impact your interest rates or spending abilities. "

    Is this GC helping with the credit crunch? :)

    May not be a problem, but what's going on? :scratch:

    Lyn, you've got $GC 18 now, I think it builds up with number of posts. There is another thread appeared telling us about it in the FAQ section.

    Well honestly it's a kind of game/joke that at this particular moment, with all that is going on (and down), I find utterly unamusing.:scratch:

    Why not the bank of GC?

    a bit of change now and again does no-one any harm.

    How much would a new user title cost? Say "Lord of the Manor of GC", would be better than "keen gardener" :lol:
