How do the talent certificates work?

Talent certificates:

• can be spent at face value to purchase a service from someone else.
  
• can be combined with other talent certificates or used alone.
  
• can be redeemed for the specific service on the certificate from the person who originally created it.

You do not have to be the person named on the certificate to use the talents as payment to someone else.

For example:

Albert asks John to build him a fence for 500 talents. Albert has 400 talents that he has earned by doing service for others and then makes his own certificate for an oil change valued at 100 talents. After the fence is done he gives these 500 talents to John. John uses the talents to purchase services from others. A month later Dorothy brings Albert's talent certificate that she earned from someone else to him for redemption. Albert changes the oil on Dorothy's car (as specified on his certificate) and then Albert takes his certificate out of circulation.

To create a new talent certificate simply click on the certificate above. Save the original to your computer. From there you may print it and fill in the details. Be as specific as possible!

Both parties of an exchange involving brand new talent certificates must agree on the numerical value of the new certificate. It must represent both the value of the service already rendered by the first party (if paid for exclusively with the new certificate) and the value of the service offered in the certificate issued the second party.

For example it would be unreasonable (using the babysitting standard) to accept a new talent certificate for a half hour of dog walking if valued at 5000 talents in exchange for painting the exterior of a two story house.

Once a value is determined between both parties it is written on the top of the certificate next to Talents. The person issuing the certificate signs as the Guarantor of Service. The person accepting the new certificate will also sign to certify it's value.
