Rophs 289 Report post Posted November 23, 2014 Currently there are lots of ways "1g 6s" "1g6" "1g6s" etc. I propose we figure out a more standard way to represent it. Here's a proposal: goldamount.silveramount So 7 gold and 8 silver would be 7|8 Simple and easy to explain. 1 dst reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No one 572 Report post Posted November 23, 2014 Simple and easy to explain. Indeed, simple, but not as easy to explain as "7g 8s" which is self-explanatory. And ... why would you even bother imposing such a system ? 4 Kittie, dst, Azthor and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azrafar 89 Report post Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) I think until we can understand what the person means it is ok (like putting "g" and "s" after a number. 1g6 is a bit dodgy but still understandable). No need to compress it into 7|8. Don't fix what isn't broken, I guess.

Ivorak 234 Report post Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) I'll insert an s after my offer as if I'm still a bit confused by the format, and then when it comes time to pay up I'll say the pipe means "or" and give you the second silver amount but not the first. But really, I don't think this is something that needs to be standardized. Leads to more confusion, not less.

samon 369 Report post Posted November 25, 2014 For those afraid their keyboard will go weary from the extra keystrokes 1g6 is equally long as 1|6, but a lot clearer. If you're not afraid of using up a few etra strokes anything from 1g 6s to 1 gc 6 sc or even 1 Gold Coin, 6 Silver Coins should work just fine. 1 Kittie reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
