I lol'd.

Corndog, my friend, leave the legalese to the wannabe employees with their interweb law firms. Don't make the real ones look like this...

If you could "cash out", that would be a different story, but as it is just a virtual currency it has no value outside of the game itself.

so something we pay money for has no monetary value? I understand it is only used on this game and has been said to be used on GLB 2.0 as well. but it still cost me plenty of money to buy the flex. so there is a monetary value assigned to the flex.

a monetary unit's definition is (the standard unit of value of a currency ). and in GLB land the currency is flex. which is simply the same thing as Americans exchanging dollars for Yen,kroners,francs or roubles. so you guys can spin it however you want. you pay the Mods in flex which costs money to purchase so there is a monetary value.

It was a reference that the law he spoke of was the made up BS in GLB land.

He actually meant, flex points have a "no refund policy" which is valid.

I don't think he actually meant to say, flex points dont have a monetary value. I hope...

Yes. It's the same way online poker exists currently. It's all with fake currency that you can't cash out, so it is exempt from gambling laws. I don't know the exact details, but that's basically the gist of it as far as I know.

Not trying to undermine the moderators, we do appreciate the work they do but they aren't employees.

It isn't the same thing as exchanging dollars because there is no way to exchange flex for money. The only thing you can use flex for is in this game.

Regardless the argument is silly. We aren't on payroll so we aren't actual employees of Warrior Games. We do volunteer our time and receive compensation for it. No doubting that. We do still represent the company but in no official capacity.

The flip side to having no monetary value, is that if we choose to do so, I think we are perfectly within our rights to allow flex betting within tournaments or whatever.

I know we have discussed it as an option.

I don't think monetary value means what glb thinks it means.

Or maybe they just don't know, *shrug*

Not being able to trade or sell something on the open market means it has no monetary value. You can't go buy bread and potatoes with a pocket full of flex. You can't retire a player and go purchase some stocks with the retirement flex.

It exists solely within the game, and cannot be traded or sold for anything outside of the game.

actually flex can be sold. I know of a few agents that actually sold their accounts because they had so much flex. I actually contacted support I think in season 7 or 8 and asked if I could merge a account of someone wanting to sell their account with my own. so in that capacity a person could re-coup some of the money they had spent. support said I couldn't merge the 2 accounts so I didn't buy the account. but if this practice was allowed then it would supposedly take money out of Borts pocket.

Like I said guys I am not bashing anyone I was just debating a point.

So, if I went to the database and gave myself a trillion flex, would you consider me a wealthy individual?

It has zero outside value and is meaningless outside of the scope of this game.
