But that's assuming that you did have that in common, that he's participating in the slimeball economy. Bobsky isn't. I'm not planning to. The slimeball currency would only have value if everybody (or almost everybody) was using it and agreed slimeballs were worth something. And even then, all it would do in many cases is just add extra steps to trading.
