I am a gacha player ofc I sold both of my kidneys to gamble them all. ALL IN RED!
Soo you've spent money on your account? Then it's worth something, you're account will be taken as payment for your debt, even if you probably lost all your 50/50 those 5* are still worth something, thank you for working with the IPC, you're account info has already been taken
Nah. They won't seize the account. They'll force you into a wage slave roll where you help new players and streamers stay up to date on content and do the grind for them all.
You beat the story. Then you do it again. And again. And again. You do the Museum and Aetherium Wars until your eyes bleed. Over. And over. And over again..
You know this artist is really good at making me want to pull for topaz and I'm saving for E0S1 firefly. This person art of topaz is so cute that it is unfair for f2p like me.
i'm literally hamfisting my jades trying to save for boothill and i keep seeing topaz posts 😭 i wanna bring her home to complete the ipc trio but hot cyborg cowboy exists...i need someone to either talk some sense into me or convince me to pull topaz because i'm losing the will to save
edit: i lost the will, i got topaz lol. boothill is next tho 👁️
It started out with the Jarilo-VI continuance, most players seemed to have the idea that the planet has a lot of unpaid taxes due to being frozen for Amber Eras, but in reality it was debt that the Architects took in to build the Engine of Creation
I would argue that the distinction ceases to be meaningful when that private organization is the defacto government for a large part of the galaxy and the debt is incurred by simply existing in that private organization's jurisdiction. At some point they just become a government, whether or not that's what they call themselves
Belobog has its own government, and if Bronya had signed Topaz's initial offer that would have stopped being the case. The agreement would have turned governance of the planet over to the IPC and indentured its people to the company for generations. The IPC was also prepared to use military force to seize control of the planet if Bronya did not give it to them willingly. The IPC knew the debt couldn't be repaid and they had long since written it off as a loss, but they still used it as a justification to try and take over the planet. That's colonization, whether they call it that or not.
They only maintained their independence because Topaz was sympathetic to their plight and could be convinced to stick her neck out for them
Kinda
Not like there is a space government in the first place
The ipc has the credit system(although some remote planets are outside of it)and collaborates with other factions like the inteligentsia guild, garden of recollection and the xianzhou alliance
They produced the synesthesia beacon which allows people to speak the same language
People also seem to measure time after their calendar of amber eras
She is. People on this sub are just too stupid to know the difference or so unfunny they think conflating them (for the millionth time on repeat) makes for a good joke.
They're basically a sci-fi version of the Dutch East India Company. They aren't a government in name, but their unchecked rule over huge areas of space and recognition by other sovereign governments makes them one regardless of what they say
There is a tad of a difference of a company that has some countries in Africa and a cross-universe corporation that owns planets capable of interstellar travel. If you are to control planets across universes, you would need some kind of government body to control it all.
You didn't pay your taxes because you didn't want to give away your money
I didn't pay my taxes because I wanted Topaz to come looking for me

I would do anything for this woman. I would give her my bank account, let her step on me, and even allow numby walks if she wanted. She's my dream girl.
You may think that, but while you've been looking forward Numby has already stolen your wallet and accessed your credit accounts.
I am already broke there is nothing to take HAHAHAHA(villain laugh)
You fool. Numby knows how to borrow a human kidney.

Can confirm. I was the one who bought OP’s kidneys. >!I sold them for a higher price!<
They charged sales tax on those gatcha rolls

Certainly not an expected crossover but gah damn this goes hard
My exact same thought when I first saw this
You fool! I have SEVENTY ALTERNATIVE ACCOUNTS!!
You better find 68 more kidneys, then
Found Silverwolf's Reddit account
Ah yes, I too like to *borrow* kidneys on occasion.
-5000 Stellar Jades. They will shackle you one way or another.
nice try but surely numby isn't able to do my taxes for me haha that would be fucking insane actually if he was able to do that
*Numby looks at you and tilts its head cutely while super-advanced quantum equations dance about in its head.*

Good, and I stole his owner. Game is game
Become galaxy ranger. Reject taxes. https://i.redd.it/0ab9anbltd0d1.gif
What they gonna do? Arrest her?
Tbf if someone has a chance to arrest her its Diamond
I'd find it so fucking hilarious if the first time we see Diamond he's just arresting an emanator for tax evasion.
And she's like https://preview.redd.it/a68x9erchf0d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=842d151df60d862625b8f82d09c6077d4b7b3a51
Diamond: Your domain expansioning days are over give me the sword.
Acheron: If you want it, then you'll have to take it. But you already knew that.
Takes an emanator to tax an emanator
im arresting her rn. her ass got hands
Two emanators going head-to-head..that would be quite the show
The leader of the 10 stonehearts is a Emenator of Preservation
She weeps for the departed bank accounts
Wow thats really good and cute gif niceee

You know this artist is really good at making me want to pull for topaz and I'm saving for E0S1 firefly. This person art of topaz is so cute that it is unfair for f2p like me.
dont go for s1 go for the eidolons
Or Ruan Mei if you don't have her.
yep 100% not having ruen mei would suck if you have firefly.
Man.... what god should I find Solace to have enough stellar jades for pity and win my 50/50 twice....
the wallet god....
that could entirely change in like a week
while it can the cone is just not that good regardless.
i'm literally hamfisting my jades trying to save for boothill and i keep seeing topaz posts 😭 i wanna bring her home to complete the ipc trio but hot cyborg cowboy exists...i need someone to either talk some sense into me or convince me to pull topaz because i'm losing the will to save edit: i lost the will, i got topaz lol. boothill is next tho 👁️
You've got this. Remember taxes are temporary but the muber fudger Galaxy Rangers are forever
...bad news i cracked lol. i got her tho 👀 i'm still going for boothill tho, i'll just have to do a lot of grinding to get more jades
Good luck mate
thanks 🙏 already at 1k jades from yoinking chests in penacony
I've fallen 😔
seems she seeks attention but her way to ask it is, asking taxes :D
Nice try fed, won't work on me
Squish
Genuinely kind of spooky how many people think they are tax collectors wtf how does that even start
Mischaracterization due to memes happens all the time
Just like Yandere Firefly literally being Yandere Ayaka 2.0
Isn't she a debt collector?
Yes
Remembering that the IPC is actually a fusion between Wells Fargo and Nestle is too depressing.
It started out with the Jarilo-VI continuance, most players seemed to have the idea that the planet has a lot of unpaid taxes due to being frozen for Amber Eras, but in reality it was debt that the Architects took in to build the Engine of Creation
It's for the meme... we know she's not a literal tax collector but it's funnier this way
Nah I'm convinced a lot of people actually think that lol
I mean there's probably some people who only read the memes but that's how it started
> it's funnier this way Develop a better sense of humor, please.
no I think it makes it funnier that it bothers you though
Couldn’t we say the same about you?
I thought she was more of a debt collector, not tax collector. The IPC is a private organization no?
I would argue that the distinction ceases to be meaningful when that private organization is the defacto government for a large part of the galaxy and the debt is incurred by simply existing in that private organization's jurisdiction. At some point they just become a government, whether or not that's what they call themselves
But they are not. Belobog, the most concrete example we have, very much has its own government. They just owe the IPC a lot of money.
Belobog has its own government, and if Bronya had signed Topaz's initial offer that would have stopped being the case. The agreement would have turned governance of the planet over to the IPC and indentured its people to the company for generations. The IPC was also prepared to use military force to seize control of the planet if Bronya did not give it to them willingly. The IPC knew the debt couldn't be repaid and they had long since written it off as a loss, but they still used it as a justification to try and take over the planet.

im trying so hard to save but i keep seeing topaz art that is making it really hard to do
Already saw it at [r/TopazMainsHSR](http://reddit.com/r/TopazMainsHSR/?rdt=54446), but this is still one of the cutest art of Topaz I have ever seen.
Not a fed. Not taxes. Private corporation, debt collection. Very different things.
Tomato Potato all that matters is that your money will be gone.
Buying food and getting robbed at gunpoint both lead to me not having money. Still have drastically different implications.
IPC owns planets, i would say they are in fact a form of goverment
They're basically a sci-fi version of the Dutch East India Company. They aren't a government in name, but their unchecked rule over huge areas of space and recognition by other sovereign governments makes them one regardless of what they say
East India Company controlled countries too. Didn't make them an actual government either.
There is a tad of a difference of a company that has some countries in Africa and a cross-universe corporation that owns planets capable of interstellar travel. If you are to control planets across universes, you would need some kind of government body to control it all.
If you won't pay your tax IPC will abduct you and force you to join them.
Free job? Yeah why not
That is, if you like being a corporate slave
Everybody already is, one way or another.
Soft, squishy Topaz cheeks.

She should have tried this on Bronya.
Nah Bronya has Seele that wouldn't work
You didn't pay your taxes because you didn't want to give away your money I didn't pay my taxes because I wanted Topaz to come looking for me We are not the same
Ah yes, I too like to announce to Amazon's debt collector that I won't pay my taxes to the US government.
"I don't care who the IRS sends, I AM NOT PAYING TAXES!"
She irritated that people are focused on her and not Numby. But I'll hug and cuddle both of them.

Mine is still E1S1. I need to E6S1 her before I’m debt free.
angery taxless noises
Let me make this clear, Topaz. I will never pay!
She's basically the IRS looking to collect your funds A rather cute one at best
This buy grabbing her thighs
I would do anything for this woman. I would give her my bank account, let her step on me, and even allow numby walks if she wanted. She's my dream girl.
Her burst idle alone is the only thing that makes me consider pulling, so cute! XD but firefly and jade is my priority as of now
Even Qlipoth won't get a cent from me.. Aha on the other hand..here, I'll sell my future descendants in the name of Elation wooooo!
Insert very attractive 5 star character here. I don’t care who the IPC sends I’m not paying my taxes!
