ACTACTACT
Donate 10 wool to Moira, hoping for something useful for either merchants or failing that industry.

[NUKE9.13]

Right, so, I'm going to request an extension, since there appears to be a contractual violation happening right now. It isn't my obligation to handle such matters, of course, but there is also no rule that says I can't point it out.
Currently, the Warrick has its destination set as Norderland. However, I don't believe that Andrea intends to allow this. I could just go ahead with the turn, but I will be generous and give folks the chance to fix this if desired.

[Rockeater]

Right, forgot about that, I think the profit margin is good enough to do it again, any issues?

[flazeo25]

@Rockeater It's more that Andrea wants to keep wool price stabilized if more than few ships go every turn to get wool then rapidly decrease.

We, the undersigned private entities, agree to redirect the Warrick to sail the route between the Motherlands and the Nearsouthlands.

Can't argue with that sadly

I could be bribed otherwise, but currently wool and sand prices are dangerously close to equalizing. This turn's abundance isn't likely to help, although mitigated by a rush of wool toward inventions. Should new uses for wool appear, I will certainly relax the limit. But I shall seek to drive a stable growth rather than a boom and bust cycle.

edit: when I say that I can be bribed, I don't necessarily mean from the owners of ships sailing to wool, powder.

The Wool Rush. Look on the bright side, the explorer should be back sometime soon. At which point I may need to buy another ship.

@Rockeater & @a1s I'm willing to buy out your shares in Warrick I am to cover repairs if your looking to sell them.

What price are you willing to pay? Currently a share in a new ship goes for 1.1 Guinea and I'm happy to sell for that. (I have 2 shares)

We, the undersigned private entities, agree to purchase the ship 'Great Granular Galleon' to sail the route between the Motherlands and the Nearsouthlands until the ship has sunk or it has been chosen otherwise. A 1/10 share will be given to each signer to the contract for each 1.1 guineas put into the cost of the ship.  These can be sold or given away at any time. Each 1/10 share entitles the holder to 1/10 of the Great Granular Galleon's cargo, and each 1/10 share will also obligate the shareholder to pay 1/10 of repair costs in case of damage. These normally must be paid within two months, but a shareholder can also choose to pay other shareholders' repair costs. If this does not happen and shareholder(s) do not pay their repair costs within the two month period, the shares of the nonpaying shareholder(s) are defaulted to the paying shareholders, divided between them (rounding towards closest integers). Any executive decisions of the ship, such as changes to the name or destination, require the owners of at least 6/10 of all shares of the Great Granular Galleon. Any modification to this contract requires all shareholders of the Great Granular Galleon to be in agreement.

Signed:
-Powder and Partners - 6.6 guineas (6/10 shares)
-Aywanez Enterprises - 3.3 guineas (3/10 shares)

Remember folks, a bribe is an offering of money or other valuable consideration to ignore one's ethical obligations.  So if the above isn't clear enough for you, I imagine Andrea would be happy to ignore their thoughts about stabilizing the wool trade for enough bathtubs of guineas.

Well. I wouldn't ignore my thoughts on stable wool prices. But part of my thoughts is that should wool devalue enough, I won't be able to get fees from the trade anymore.
And that thought can be put to rest by the sound of guineas ringing in the bathtub.

ActActAct: Since over 60% voted to redirect it, change Warrick destination to Nearsouthlands.

Hm, that sounds like fees and FEES. You could even express it on a graph with equations and stuff!

[EuchreJack]

Yeah right.  Fellow owners of Sandshape: Please keep the Sandshape going to pick up sand.  The wool run is a loss at current prices with navigator costs.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Current price of navigators is 0.5

Current value of Sand is 0.39 x 10 load / 2 months = 1.95

Current value of Wool is 0.71 x 10 load / 3 months = 2.36
