So wait, your only products are actively malevolent soft drink and guns you refuse to tell anyone about?

You... you don't get capitalism, do you?

I'm done. Enjoy your RP.

When people die, they should stay dead.

And the milk has gone sour. Not the right sour either. Going to chill for a bit and if anyone finds the head they can take it for a ride and it shall talk, but not be very useful elsewise. I'd prefer the possibility for the box to have the body finished pm'd rather than automatically done so I can shove it in there when it feels more suitable to the character. I'll be keeping an eye on it though, and that is all.

...It wouldn't be good advertising if I outright told my 'customers' that 'This drink will kill you!' No, I tell them 'Well, I can guarantee that this drink will be one of the most delicious things you taste.'

And as for the guns: I didn't say I wouldn't tell you about them. I just said it wouldn't be free. What're you prepared to offer for the information?

Raiden · 12-02-2009, 12:51 PM

Man, I turn my head for a few months...year...something...and you guys start turning milk sour.

That's shenanigans and you know it.

I have to agree. Pyros's bowl has gotten icky!

Also, I was under the impression that you were dead or something. Glad to see you not dead.

Or are you a ZOMBIE?

Y'see Thadius, consumers will go back to a product that not only tastes delicious, but won't make them vomit out their intestines and grow extra eyes. Just like Overcast said.

It takes about five times as much cash and effort to attract new customers than it does to retain old ones. And if you have a lot of pissed off former customers, well, you're screwed. Branding is entirely based around perceived quality!

And for the guns, I think I will go to one of the many other manufacturers of high energy weapons who are more than happy to show off their product to me. You see, to sell a product you need to tell people about it.

This isn't rocket science!

Oh Arhra, I'm so disappointed in you! Falling for Thadius' cleverly disguised trap like that. The answer to all this apparent ill logic is simple!

See, Thadius doesn't run a normal business, no, ThadCo is merely a deviously veiled front! All his money doesn't come from selling his apparently hazardous drinks, or even his mysterious guns!

No, it comes from his illegal and shadowy services.

Speaking of which, what can I get for a twenty?

Raiden · 12-02-2009, 11:58 PM

I ain't a zombie. I was a member of the NPF Anti-Zombie Survival Coalition, or whatever it was called. There were...words. Big words. I don't...know...

Screw it. I was the guy who got pissed off at zombies.

Overcast · 12-02-2009, 01:31 PM

The reaction when I saw your name was far too ecstatic for my own good. I literally feel completely idiotic to quite a severe level. On the upside welcome back.

Elsewhere, but if you sell harmful drinks, particularly with no prior fans willing to try it(especially considering the sordid reputation of the namesake) you are more likely to see an utter failure in the first news reports than a full sales explosion with no connections drawn to the terrible side effects.

Also have you been paying attention? We are the Avatars, we don't buy weapons, we TAKE weapons. Or make them. Gifts are cool too.
