    For those of you who recoginze the title, or have seen the TED Talk "What if you could trade a paperclip for a house?", you'll know where I'm going with this. For those of you who don't, the talk explains it quite well. I haven't made enough posts to put a link so just Google it.

    Tl;dw
    Bigger and Better is a game where you start with something small, and trade it for something of roughly similar value, with the goal of ending above where you started. This TED Talk is about a man pushed this game to its limits.

    Origins:
    A couple of months ago, I was running around the server, probably doing world discoveries or something, when I stopped in town to deposit some emeralds that I had collected while running around. I then noticed something. I had 64 Half Moon Island boat passes on me that I must have picked up off the ground. Fast forward a couple months, and I still have them despite a couple halfhearted attempts to pawn them off to my guild. During the 24 prof party hosted by DoomDeath1313 just before Christmas, I was in a VC with other participants, including GraphicNovel. We were running out of things to talk about and so I mentioned the boat passes. Graphic asked for a couple more details and we came to the conclusion that they were probably his boat passes. A few minuted later, we met up in Lutho and I returned his passes, and in exchange he gave me 14 t3 Dernic wood as a thank you for returning them. I then had the idea that led to me writing this post. If you haven't figured it out already, I want to play the same game that Kyle MacDonald played. The virtually worthless boat passes are my red paperclip, and the Dernic wood is item #2.

    My goal:
    Kyle started with something worth about 5 cents and ended up with something worth over 1 million times that. A stack of those passes costs just 8EB, one million times that is 8 Million EB, or close to 2000 stx, which is of course far more than any one item. But I think that still makes my point clear: I am going big. If possible, this will end in a trade where I possess an item worth at least 25 stx.

    If you've made it this far, thanks for putting up with me. If you just skimmed the rest of the post, I'll cut to the chace. I have 14 t3 Dernic wood, open to TRADES ONLY for something of similar value. Use this as an opportunity to get rid of something you don't need.
