View Full Version : The Limey Bank
The Raging Bull 01-29-2007, 03:58 PM This was The Hoff's and Oasis Lad's idea, but I thought I'd bring it to fruition.
When we have enough points (around a million) we will open a bank in the name of all Limey's, were you can borrow points with small rates of interest added on. We will allow the points to be paid back whenever the user can afford it, and there will also be gifts for good customers. :cool:
This will be available to all posters, but Limeys will be priority.
Anyone kind enough to donate points to put towards this grand scheme?
This idea will revolutionize Boxingscene and users who help this dream come true will be greatly rewarded.

you should have a vote for who will be the treasurer and then have that person create an alt account called the limey bank or something. the treasurer will be the "poster" for that account and take care of the point loans, deposits, etc.
what do you think?

That's a great idea Fiesty. I'll have to send PM's out, but who do you think should be in the list of nominations? I'll PM everyone to see if they're interested first.

the person will have to be responsible to keep track of everything and online here regularly. maybe get a list of people willing to do it first. then vote.
also, maybe sticky a thread of all bank activity - points being lent and points being repaid/deposited.

Damn this is a big job :D
Ok, I'll send PM's to a few people now. Around 5.

Nope, it just say's Limey's get priority.

so no americans can do it:blackeye:

Yes, anyone can. It's just that if we run out of points in our bank, the Limey's will get first option on any loans.
The Surgeon 01-29-2007, 04:50 PM Yes, anyone can. It's just that if we run out of points in our bank, the Limey's will get first option on any loans.
Great idea! Im too poor to donate but i would have if ud asked a few hours ago!
Manfredo Jr 01-29-2007, 04:52 PM i reckon the user should also have to pay interest
* FeistyWench * 01-29-2007, 04:53 PM Yes, anyone can. It's just that if we run out of points in our bank, the Limey's will get first option on any loans.
the limeys should hold a scheduled private chat in the chat room to discuss the limey bank and how it will work. for example, are loans only for limey lounge members? will all limeys be asked to donate to the bank. will all loans be approved or should there be a vote (by at least 5 limey members) to approve of high point loans, etc. it is a very cool idea, but needs some kinks worked out so the limeys points are all swindled. lol!
PM everyone with date and time and give them the password. then someone creates the room with the password on the chosen day and time. one person must stay in the room for it to continue to exist (FYI).
magicjordan 01-29-2007, 04:58 PM can i donate some points!even i'm not a limey?:)

Yeh, I said that their will be a small rate of interest.

Ok, I think the people I pm'd and me need to have a talk before it all starts. Then we'll have the Limey chat etc. I'm too tired to do it all now :D
Maybe start it at the weekend.
The Raging Bull 01-29-2007, 05:00 PM can i donate some points!even i'm not a limey?:)
Yep anyone can. Hopefully the bank will be for everyone, but Limey's will come first obviously.

Versastyle 01-29-2007, 05:36 PM does BPP play favorites?

Southpaw Stinger 01-29-2007, 05:36 PM does BPP play favorites?

Exige Jr 01-29-2007, 06:13 PM I thought of this idea before to make a fortune for anyone involved.
Not a bank that allows for loans etc, but a bank that for instance 5 posters donate to.
Everyone puts in 100k so there is 500k in there. If the interest rate is 10% then the interest gained is 50k. 10k each when divided by the 5 members, however because the interest is cumulative and interest is paid onto interest the fortune earned would be more, surely?
Maths was not my strong point and there is a high chance that I am wrong, but I just thought perhaps it may work.
Oh yeah but points are worthless so why are people doing this again?

interest is only 1.5%
and i imagine it's just for fun...

My example was only hypothetical. Whatever the interest rate may be, the fact would still remain that having one bank for 5 accounts could be more profitable than having one bank for one account, no?
Also, I dont really see this as fun. :D

I heard Hoff and laddie mention it in Magic's thread and thought it was a great idea so decided to make it happen. That's all.
