The Albatross Method to surviving a raid

1. Become a decently-known RPer by talking to EVERY. SINGLE. ALLY. (in character)

2. When someone raids, haul everyone to Regalia

3. RP for a few hours until they leave

4. Scrounge money, either by making someone RP as a beggar or asking good friends

5. Pay the debt

 

The Bioshock-Fanboy method to paying tribute

1. Hand them a female faction member

2. Wait for them to ask why you did that

3. Smile and say "Bring us the girl and wipe away the debt lulz"

 

Hope that helps
