Ok so yesterday it was time to start my grand adventure in the deep dungeons of LENDING CLUB. Oh what vile monsters will devour my soul in this abyss of usurious darkness?

Alright so here we go:



Hell yeah! Viper can tell you I always play on hard mode. Also I am only investing $100.00 so might as well.

Speaking of $100.00 I must arm myself with my noobie sword.



Now to slay the...um wait what?



Friday? Ok damn I will come back on Friday.

Ok so today I load it up all excited to get in there and start battling the noobie notes of doom but...



FUCK this game takes forever to load up.



I will tell Total Biscuit to do a very harsh review of this game.

Anyway so...I guess I will start this all next week then. At least me losing all my money immediately will not happen!

I guess I should make a 'Lending Club Quest' graphic or something. Well I have plenty of time.

Did I mention I met him? Also Charles Barkley. Same day.

Jealous. Is there a good story there?

FYI Valmy, even if you lose all your money right away, you won't lose all your money right away.  A loan stays on the books for a long time after a payment is missed, at a discounted value.

Ah so I could theoretically sell my stake to some sucker at a discounted value then? Interesting.

There is a dedicated secondary market which I haven't bothered looking at on the assumption that the discounts demanded would be outrageous.

Lending Club provides the discounted value, based on their historical experience with recovering money from loans that have gone delinquent, for informational purposes.  It's definitely not a resale price guarantee.

I get that. But the secondary market gives me a second chance. In any case hopefully none of this will be relevant for me anytime soon.

Usury Quest: So you want to be a Mono

In this style:



Hah at the free Prodigy.

But then I saw this:



And decided on its current form :P
