Store Credit System is LIVE!	February 20, 2015	Players who turn in scalps of Murderer's have been and will continue to receive an item called a "South Sea Company Stock Certificate". The Value of each stock certificate will be on the tooltip. Currently all Stocks have been set to a $2.50 value. Right Clicking any Stock Certificate will allow you to consume it. When you do consume it your account will receive Store Credit. When you then go to the Salem Store it will calculate your purchase MINUS the applicable store credit you have. I.E. if you turn in 3 Certs, you will have $7.50 credit. If you then make a $9.99 Store purchase, your paypal balance will be $2.49. These stock certificates can be created by the developers dynamically with various dollar amounts. NOT ALL STOCK CERTS will be worth the same. Thus be sure to look at the tooltip to see how much Store Credit that item will give. We intend on giving these out for the Store Competitions as well as in-game events like dock club winners and frog race winners etc. etc.	[66]
