Last I heard the penguins had build a giant death star like construction. Yes, we were actually testing whether their tendencies towards colonization lead to militarized conglomorations or individualized territorially focused pseudosocieties. However, our research primarily shows that intelligence spikes have simply lead to a proclivity for puns. While in the field I heard a plethora of puns, such as: "My mother is getting older, I think she may be hard of herring." and "My cousin was a travelling salesman, but he wasn't very good. He could never seal the deal." and "Teeth." So far I have classified this as a rousing success. Further testing currently underway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nohadon Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) A door opens from the end of the alley, a young man with a black waistcoat and pants, with a tattered shirt walks through, Hey there! I’m looking for some spikes I... mean... Cookies! You see, our Canton of Combat is running pretty low, how much would they be? I can only pay in boxings or spheres, I’m rather low in funds... additonally, due to our... er... Proximity... we would like a representative come join! I nominate @Maelstrom for the position!

Nohadon Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Sweet! So, about the price for th cookies? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacThorstenson Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Depends, our pricing is generally focused on three things. 1. How many cookies, if you buy in bulk, we sell cheaper. 2. Cost of transportation. Due to the fact that you are in an under ground fighting club, we could open up an alley right next door, or even into the main fighting room. This would cause transportation costs to be 0. 3. Whether or not you are returning your spikes. The spikes are expensive and we would rather like to keep the stolen investiture. If you don't want spikes in your cookies and/or you return the spikes, then the price of the cookies drops. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nohadon Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 We would like to buy 80 cookies in jars, spikes included, and since my place is literally the next door, transportation should be Zero! we only have 3,000 boxings in total, our spending limit is 500, or 80 Broams (Diamond, not Emerald) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacThorstenson Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 It should be about 400 boxings to buy all of the cookies. If you would like, because these are prepaid, we could distribute them for free from the spikesulate. Though if you wan't to distribute them, that is understandable. Did you find the disclaimer? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrakeMarshall Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 I offer a special discount in exchange for identity spikes. Particularly atium ones, because unlike the aluminium ones, you can engrave those with forgeries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gecko Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 I have been nominated to join the little dark alley bake sale by @MacThorstenson because of my interest in nigh infinite cookie potential from rats. What do I need to do? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He pointed out that if we gave rats lerasium and they were able to burn it, we could breed them rapidly and use them to farm hemalurgic spikes en masse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LopenTheTwoArmedHerdazian Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 @MacThorstenson A certain two-armed Herdazian may be currently looking for work. Pretty interested in Hemallurgy theories. Oh, and I love cookies. Making ‘em, spiking ‘em, convincing people that they should eat them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacThorstenson Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 Welcome, all you need to do to join is sell someone one of our cookies on the introduction threads! Once you do that, you will be a full member of the dark alley. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LopenTheTwoArmedHerdazian Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 So far I’ve tried to sell one, but how will I know the sale has been made? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacThorstenson Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 You don't find out if they accept it, but just offering the cookie is enough. Welcome to the DA! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacThorstenson Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) After having looked over their oaths and the manner in which you said them, I wouldn't think so. At our heart, we are scientists, bakers, and businessmen. So long as your oaths don't impact all of those duties you should be fine. Also, you don't have to sell cookies past the first. Personally I find it beneficial to do all three, theorize, sell cookies, and bake, but you don't have to. @LopenTheTwoArmedHerdazian I Have found it useful to use this link to recruit more people.

LopenTheTwoArmedHerdazian Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 Which part of baking? The part that coincides with our Hemallurgical research, or our research into how delicious a foodstuff can be? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LopenTheTwoArmedHerdazian Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 And also, I have sold two more cookies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacThorstenson Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 Good, job on the cookies! The Baking can apply to either part. The more delicious the cookies/assorted baked goods are, the more people will eat them. Also, word to the wise, it's considered bad form to post multiple times in a row, if you have more information that you want to add, it's advised to edit your previous post or wait till someone else posts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LopenTheTwoArmedHerdazian Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) Thank you. I’m quite inexperienced on the 17th shard. So, here’s a question. In a perfect world, where all alleys are dark alleys, do we still sell cookies, or do we share our cookies with our dark alley brothers in exchange for baking and theorizing work? Or will we create a monopoly and then slowly bring up our prices without losing customers because we have reached a level of baking where our cookies are incredibly addictive? Either way, I’m game.

Or will we create a monopoly and then slowly bring up our prices without losing customers because we have reached a level of baking where our cookies are incredibly addictive? Either way, I’m game. Well, to understand this, one must understand the alleyverse. I am not a master of alleymatics, but from what I understand all of the dark alleys are in place called the alleys which is located in the alleyverse. Other places in the alley verse include the roundabout and the highway. Inside of the alleys you have places like the dark alleys, the light alleys, and the mediocrity lit alleys. You enter the alleys by walking into an alley in the human world, so in a way this perfect world has come to pass.\ With that in mind. Our goal is to discover the limits of Hemalurgy and push those limits as far as they can be pushed. So we will continue selling cookies as long as we can, because we still need test subjects to experiment on. We don't actually make any money off of most of the cookie sales*. They buy our cookies with their soul. Considering that rarely do our test subjects survive the first round of experiments, there is very little need to make our cookies addicting, except for consumption by fellow dark alley members. I hope that answers your question. On an unrelated note have we outfitted you with the basic benefits?
