The Shady Relief Fund

Jul-2-2016 05:35

The Shady Relief Fund (hereinafter "the Fund") is a fund organized to help provide financial assistance to detectives owing between $500,000.00 and $1,000,000 to the Shady Character due to False Accusations.

The rules are simple:

1. To receive assistance you must contribute to the Fund a set amount monthly (amount to be determined).

2. You must have 2 False Accusations on your record before the Fund will pay monies towards your Shady fee.

3. The Fund will only pay half of your total Shady fee as per Shady's associate in Delhi.

4. The Fund will only provide assistance to a detective once in a 12 month period. If you apply for assistance from the Fund and are approved, you will not be eligible to receive assistance from the Fund for the next 12 months. However, if you wish to receive assistance from the Fund at the end of that 12 month period, you will be required to continue making monthly contributions during the deferral period.

5. You must have been a member of the Fund (i.e., contributing to the Fund on a monthly basis) for six months before you can apply for financial assistance.

6. You may make your monthly contributions by wiring money to The Shady Relief Fund from your nearest financial institution.

What she said. ^^

I know I was long-winded but I felt I needed to be as complete as possible in stating my post. Plus, I did swipe all that out on mobile. And one part was swiped more than once! Because my demon phone Lilith hid it from me. By the time I find it, I had already posted my second thing. I was done with it at that point, so I just quietly closed the tab while screaming profanities in my head. And believe it or not there was at least one thing that was left out of the second draft. But I won't add it here as I fear being too verbose for the adorable rodents among us and it seems it has been concluded anyway.
Mwah!

This isn't an opinion at all, just my situation 😃.

I already have two FAs from quite a few months, both by guessing (I guessed the first one, and then thought since I already have one, why not guess a second time!).
It's around $300k for me to pay off, (I don't remember if it's the Delhi price or not) and between two accounts I have around $170k, but I really want to hold on to all that money because it took me quite a while to earn it. So I have this feeling that if I pay off Shady, I'd still be *extremely* tempted to guess once again, and having two FAs makes me tread much more carefully as guessing isn't an option anymore. (I don't know if anyone else thinks similarly, I don't expect them to, either. 😃 )

*Wrong stat, I lug around $1700k. (What I'm trying to say is that, though I can pay Shady off, I am holding onto my money.)
But still, there's always the risk that I might *completely by accident* get a third FA, and then I'd be in trouble.
(Though I would prefer to create a new detective rather than reactivate this one, if that does happen.)

This thread made me reconsider my not-clearing-Shady-debt decision, but to be safe I'm just going to transfer most of the money to my other account (yes, I'm still not paying him).

Ebony pm sent. It may not apply to you, but it may affect your decision.

And maybe Secret_Squirrel is right about my long-windedness.... Hmm.

Carrying one FA around may keep you on your toes but personally, when I get a second I want to clear it right away. But I guess it depends. If you can find a safe haven for your money and you don't mind getting contacts again from scratch, I suppose retirement could be an option.

If you're in an agency and your contacts were vital it may push you towards clearing your debt with Shady.

Believe it or not you will get to a point where money means absolutely nothing. Your detective, however, is what you want to protect. You can't purchase experience.
