I dunno invest in sand? How?

I have updated the FAQ. It now gives basic answers explaining the core gameplay loop. I will not provide more advice than that, because Lazy Fair.

E: It occurs to me you might not understand what I mean by Lazy Fair. Lazy Fair is a mispronunciation of Laissez Faire. Laissez Faire is an economic system in which the state's role in the economy is minimal- no regulations, but no benefits either. In this game, by Lazy Fair I mean that I (the state) will not tell you how to play the game (regulate) or keep track of what you are doing (which would be a benefit (or more regulation, depending on your point of view)).

Blue Fish Enterprises would like to enquire about the possibility of taking out a 3g loan from Sharky's Financial Services for the purpose of investing into the Nearsouth Nsailor. We would also like to gather opinions of signing a contract to collectively invest into the Blind Goat for five guineas and sharing the resultant exclusive ownership rights.

Bathtub Corsairs has taken a 0.5 Guineas loan from Vixen Volume Trading, to be repaid with 1 Guineas after the next shipment of Sand arrives via the Clarise or Nearsouth Nsailor. Bankruptcy on the Bathtub Corsair's part will annul this Contract should both ships they have Shares in be sunk and they have to be bailed out via the Crown.

Signed,

- Vixen Volume Trading

Above is contingent on VVT withdrawing .5 Gunieas from SFS this turn, which will be conducted shortly (likely added to this post)

3 adorably fungible guineas

Someone sell me 1 sand for 1 ginuea. It's a bad deal for me, which means it's a good deal for you, which means you should do it.

actactact: Irresponsibly donate 2 ginnies to the fine eyepatch fellow.

[flazeo25]

If Bluefish Enterprise or any other willing to join in and find another 1 guinea then I'll be happy to enter in the deal.

We, the undersigned private entities, agree to donate to the ship 'Blind Goat' to help Eyepatch Odysseus explore the north. Those investors in this contract each obtain exclusive right to any potential routes discovered by this vessel. All favors from this donation are divided by how much each investor donated. Owners of this contract are forbidden from selling or giving away any potential routes from this contract without all shareholders agreement. Owners are still able to allow others to invest to ships that they themselves will also invested in to sail these routes though. Any modification to this contract requires all shareholders of the Joint Blind Goat Contract  to be in agreement.

ACTACTACT: [Sell 3 units of sand to gain 1.5 Guineas. Contingent on Loan going through]

I do not allow actions (towards me) that are contingent on the actions of other players. Nor, I should mention, can you pay me with hypothetical guineas- I’d recommend not signing a contract for more guineas than you own unless you want to go bankrupt should a loan not happen or whatever (guineas from selling to the market are guaranteed to exist, so no problems there)(similarly, you can pay with guineas from a signed contract- so long as the guineas actually exist).
Fortunately, I will give fair notice before processing the turn, so you shouldn’t need contingent actions.

[evictedSaint]

I'm selling my sand.

[Egan_BW]

I'm selling my sand.

I'll give you 1 guinea for 1 sand. Is deal?
