$ The Jinxian Plutocracy $
All worshippers of the mighty god Jinx, Lord of Wealth and Passion, have the common attribute of an overwhelming sense of greed and self- indulgence. In line with this trait, Jinx grants his followers the use of an interdimensional portal to the vault of the Temple of Jinx in Sanctuary. The portal takes the form of a flexible hoop, which acts as a focus for the energies required for crossing unimaginable distances. Using this hoop, followers can place items into and retrieve them from the main vault. With great concentration, the true followers of Jinx may use their vision to cross the boundaries of the portal to gain knowledge of what is stored in the vault. But, be warned, Jinx considers all items placed within his vault to belong to all of his Plutocracy, not just the one who placed it there. As well, the vault has a maximum capacity of a hundred items; when this capacity is exceeded, the excess items will be converted to gold according to their value, starting with the least valuable items, and the proceeds distributed among the Plutocracy.
In order to maintain the favor of Jinx, all followers must maintain a certain level of value either in the bank or on their person, in the form of both coinage and the value of carried objects. Those who fail to maintain the favor of Jinx in this manner will be stricken with illnesses stemming from their greed.
Unlike his brother gods, Vashanka and Doppel, Jinx bears no grudges towards them. He simply wishes to amass the greatest wealth of any being, and he wants his followers to attempt the same.
Should there be any member of the Plutocracy that does not provide to the common wealth, 5 members of the Plutocracy may cast a vote to expel him, or Jinx may decide by divine authority that a member should no longer be allowed to use the powers of the hoop.
$ Jinxian Plutocracy News : 3/28/97 $
The hoop has been slightly rewritten, to allow you to get or sell multiple items from the hoop at once. As well, the problem with items 'disappearing' from the hoop for no reason has been fixed. Lastly, the syntax to use the hoop has changed slightly, so please make sure to 'help jinx hoop' or 'info hoop'. Guild news such as this is available through 'help jinx news'.
