[NUKE9.13]

I didn't realize that the ship I have shares in just dumped the sand into my account.  Or is that how it works?  Fellow Sandshape shareholders, do I now own some sand?

What did you think having a share in a ship meant?

That the ship would sell a commodity on it own, keep the money, and eventually be worth a pot of money.  You know, like real shares in a company...

At this point, I'll probably be the guy who forgets they have anything, and in several months when everyone has abandoned Sand be mega rich since I'm the only one that has any...

Lazy Fair. It means, amongst other things, that it is on you to keep track of your own assets. I handle ships coming and going, but what- if anything- you do with the cargo it delivers is 100% on you. So, yes, if you own shares in the Sandshape, it has given you sand, which you may now sell, trade, hoard, dump into the harbour, or whatever.
If you do decide to sell your sand to the market, remember to tag it with ACTx3, so I can keep track of how much is sold in a turn.

I need to do some accounting...how long until the next turn?

24 hours, or more if you can convince literally anyone else to ask for an extension.

(Or if you legitimately need the time and can demonstrate why)

Can I have an extension so I can go over my very complicated financial records?

Coincidentally, this will finish at the exact same time eS finishes tabulating his - so if he says he's ready to go I will be as well.

[m1895]

I too, need some time

[TricMagic]

There is good reason I update mine every time. And triple check the numbers.

Warrick, Jolly crustacean, maybe even Sandshape

Do you want to lease charts?

With this large shipment of sand, price will likely drop, and supply is fairly steady. In 3 turns from now, price likely will still be around 0.4.
Meanwhile, wool is in a shortage, supply hasn't been re-established properly since the delays, and demand is being boosted greatly. Considering there are only 3 shipments between now and when any ship sailing now will return, and seeing this turn's significant increase, I believe we can assume with confidence a wool price of 0.85.

With those numbers, we can assume an advantage in trading wool of 2.5 guineas per shipment, over the 3 month period per ship. Even with the fee, that is significant and any further boost to industry between now and then is liable to increase that.
For reference: should wool disappoint, at 0.8 per unit the advantage would still be 2 guineas.
If it pushes past expectations to 0.9, the advantage instead increases to 3 whole guineas.

Overall, there is no reasonable outcome that results in a loss as compared to trading with sand, even should wool fail to rise as much and sand become more precious.

We, Sharky's financial services as holders of the charts to Norderland, agree to provide both the ship _________ represented by The signatory company(s) with a navigator to guide them to Norderland for one back and forth journey, at a cost of 0.8 guineas.
This sum shall be paid immediately. Stealing the charts of the navigator or otherwise extorting proprietary information is to be considered against this contract and liable to incur a fee of 5 guineas.

Sold!

We, the undersigned private entities, agree to purchase the ship 'Irreplaceable II' to sail the route between the Motherlands and the Norderlands until the ship has sunk or it has been chosen otherwise. Percent shares will be given out to all investors proportional to how much they have invested into the vessel. They can be sold or given away at any time. These shares entitle the holder to a percentage of the Irreplaceable II cargo as much as the amount of shares that are owned. Repairing the ship will be carried out through the use of a "repair fund". Owning shares obligates the owner to pay that percentage of the missing sum to fully repair the ship. Failure to pay into the "repair fund" will lead to those shares being auctioned off, and the money being put into the "repair fund". Any costs associated with travelling of a route shall be borne by all participants in proportion to their share of the ship. Any executive decisions of the ship, such as changes to the name or destination, require the owners of at least 60% of all shares of the Irreplaceable II. Any modification to this contract requires all shareholders of the Irreplaceable II to be in agreement.

Travel safe!

The new ship being chartered is in my opinion a good idea. Up to 4 guineas are available for loan, although you will still need to pay the navigator (would be 0.6 guineas, with that loan and advance payment). So, if you have 2.56 or more guineas burning in your pocket, this is the chance!
