Mandalore Gaming's Side Hustles

While Mandy may be a C-list YouTube and Twitch content creator, he is an enterprising man who stays humble and hustles hard. Potentially, this man may make millions in untaxed dollars moving his products. The few of his enterprises that are known are listed here, but we suspect there are more.

## The *Treaty of Canem* and the Quartz Mines of a Non-Descript Elementary School

In episode 17 of the PST Podcast, *Treaty of Canem*, at the time guest members, Mandy, was reminded of one of his first enterprises in the third grade. He ran a Quartz mining operation within his school's ground. Throughout the podcast, Mandy talks extensively about the progression of events at his school from the discovery of the crystal mines to the eventual cessation of operations.

#### Discovery and Operational Establishment

Mandy describes at the beginning how he and his friends discovered an area on the school property where quartz crystals would become exposed on a hill face away from the main playground. After this discovery, the crystals gained value within the student population, and Mandy and his friends had staked their claim for a quartz quarry. With a security detail, Mandy and his friends established a system of employment for the younger children of the playground, where, for example, a younger kid would be payed in chocolate milk for their service digging up crystals.

#### Escalation

Mandalore's enterprise soon expanded, as his mines became important source of a new currency around the playground. Pokémon battle soon became tied to gambling with this new form of money. Even trading on the playground was soon influenced by his currency. In rare instances, attacks in the form of throwing kickballs or pencil stabbings occurred, but Mandy said that these were rare. As the Quartz bubble grew, older kids, who Mandy somewhat infers where idiot delinquents who heard that third graders had "crystal", got in on the trading. The demand for the Quartz was so large that inflation never became a problem, and the mines could continue operation. One day, a document was created called the *Treaty of Canem* by Mandy, who became to be identified as the Cobra Commander, and his company, one of whom also had a wack ass name, seen left in the treaty document. The document was a formal agreement to give land rights away to another group of enterprising children. It is revealed, however, that the land that was given to the second company had already been surveyed and deemed not worth mining by Mandalore Co., and with this knowledge the company maintained it's monopoly over the quartz market.

#### The Fall

Mandalore Co. had become a stable facet of the lunchtime economy. But even the Quartz bubble must soon burst. And so, the since oblivious teachers soon caught on to the going on's at the company, and like any good, capitalist hating, socialist run institution, the school soon shut it down. It began slowly, as one day a second grader attempted to buy something at the school cafeteria with quartz. This led to an increase in suspicion from the school faculty. In another incident, a "high roller" lost hard in Pokémon and told his father at home about the quartz market, who then went to talk to the school. This high roller then explained to the teaching staff that it wasn't fair that Mandalore Co. got to have all their slave dig up their crystals. Being in a deep south American state, this threw up immediate alarms for the school staff, and while all the "slaves" where compensated for their work, the difference wasn't understood by any of the children. So, to combat the slavery, the teaching staff went to teach the students about the horrors of slavery and the slave trade throughout the history of early America. After these classes, the kids went back out to put their slaves to work. Another L for the American education system. Another arising problem was the environmental impact on the hillside in which the quartz was located, as due to the clay nature of the soil more water was getting in and making puddles and mud holes, destroying the school property.

#### The Prohibition and the Quartz Rock War

After these events, the teaching staff of Non-Descript Elementary had a meeting and banned the possession of quartz on school grounds. This had drastic effects on the economy, and Mandalore Co. fell into a slump despite recent improvements to worker wellbeing. The trading was moved to a local park. The bubble finally burst when, as Mandy said, " … someone discovered [the quartz] was useless … it was kind of of like Brave New World, expect instead of having an orgy we just hit each other with rocks." The quartz crystals, now worthless, were used as ammunition in the Quartz Rock War. The whole economy quickly dissolved, and Mandalore Co. with it.

#### Extra Lore

Somehow these idiot third graders knew enough Latin to inspire the name of the Treat to be Treaty of Dog, as Canem is Latin for dog, and there was a school legend of a principle's dog being chained on the hill.

## "Mandalore: Spread the Lore!" Jam Line

Not much evidence of exists of the Spread the Lore jam line produced by Mandy. The exist of the product was known only to a select few, such as the artist for the logo and dedicated lore divers. A tweet by the polish game distribution platform GOG gave new light to jam recently, and now new information can be put on this article. GOG, the best in digital game sales, is a known ally to Mandy, and the store comes up often in his videos when he reviews obscure games and wants to recommend them to his audience, but has no where else to go for reliable procurement. It was once believed that he produces jam for the sole purpose of bribing GOG into a pact where he can gain favors to push for often shittly made and poorly optimized games onto the GOG store, however Mandalore himself later confirmed that he had shipped a considerable quantity of the jam to Joseph Anderson, but that it was seized by Canadian customs. The impact of this transgression may not be fully understood for years to come.

## The China Job

The China Job is a "Too spicy for broadcast" PST story that Mandy and Shammy are both a part of and didn't tell, but reveal the existence of in episode 17 of the PST Podcast. The China Job is apparently relevant as it applies to Mandy wearing many hats and Shammy states it may involve a conspiracy. No further details have been given, leaving us with only speculation.

## Music Video Editor Carreer

It should be noted that Mandalore had multiple experiences in the musical world by creating a series of music videos for other renowned creatives. After the smash hit "Commander Shepard, the music video" came his most fruitful and renowned collaboration, with the worldwide phenomenon Viper the Rapper.

His rendition of "I sell A1 Cocaine" was then blessed by the dark embrace of Mandalore's editing skills, in a clip evoking a sense of dread, blurred vision and Eve spaceships. The collaboration could have lead to a profitable relationship between the two great minds but Mandalore, probably too intimidated by Viper's impressive company logo, rejected the offer.

## Miscellaneous Theories

Other theories may potentially exist that can explain the irregular revenue of Mandy. A brief list is laid out below:

* Storing stream revenue in offshore bank accounts and investing heavily in fluctuating markets using insider information to create massive amounts of liquid assets for himself to use for future endeavors
* Mandalore Co. never ceased operations after the Quartz market collapse, and it continues to generate revenue today selling a new cryptocurrency known only to a select few as "Crystal Coin." The coin apparently utilizes a pyramid scheme to scam it's users out of thousands, creating a consistent revenue stream for Mandy.
* Mandy once tried to monetize his school's water fountain.
* Shares in Viper Free Movers Inc, founded by famous hip-hop artist Viper.
