The Difference Between A Million & Billion

[Alric Kuhn]

So I saw this video earlier today, or rather it was shown to me by a colleague. I thought it was really rather interesting, and with auctions currently being all the rage I thought it was very relevant to things here on SWRP.

Obligatory mention that Han Solo's 17,000 credit debt was enough to call in the most famous and highest-paid bounty hunter in the galaxy.

That's 5,000 5,000 5,000 2,000

Meanwhile, 100,000 is
5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000

And a million is
5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000
5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000
5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000

Not gonna bother with a billion. Just imagine a thousand of that.

Count your money, kids. Scale is important.

We really should develop some base economic system.

Something to value atleast worth - then again, [member="Danger Arceneau"] does set rules about her auctions to prevent:

 

[Vaudin Miir]

[member="Fabula Caromed"]

The scale lies.

 

[Ra Vizsla]

An item's worth is defined by how much people are willing to pay for it. That's how I sleep at night.

Well that and my golden silk sheets, paid for by the Techno Union.

*wipes tears away with dollar bills*

 

[Ronan Nakasla]

It makes me feel odd sensations of disgust when I look back on KotOR and remember those 5,000cr items you could buy, when put in relation with [member="Fabula Caromed"]'s example.

Then again, the economy may have been different.

*Following the Galug Plague it has been observed that Major Factions everywhere are printing money with reckless abandon. Causing prices everywhere to escalate tremendously. A loaf of bread in the Outer Rim is expected to barter for 5,000,000 cr , or 1000 Kybarr crystals, or just 2 Grumpy Goats. Stay tuned as we visit the Bank of Coruscant this week for more info.*

i'll gamble say it simply the number of zero after the mil and bil....

I thought this was going to be something about the current Powerball.
