I'd want a minor contract to buy another ship to sail that route. 3gn would do, 6 months to pay it back.

Other than that, I also want to send out the Magierin and Motherland's Bounty. [I do still have one of those passes for one of them]

Yes, you can say 'I told you so', though the delay is just bad luck.

... 1 pass for the Magierin. 2.53gn loan, plus the .6gn for the navigators to the two ships, so 3.2gn for roundness. (I would suggest sending a fourth ship out too, so if one is delayed we still keep the market fed. If not, I have an invention idea.)

My other ship should come in next turn. And YAP if luck holds. If YAP doesn't come in, one of my three ships should with the payments. I'll leave you to the baronship title.

Also Jack, mind giving me a 2.75 loan on top of this? 6 month payment.

Provide Moira with 3 sand to make a SCOPE, slap that SCOPE on the Fair Feldspar

This is not mechanically relevant, but Moira isn't the one making all these SCOPEs. She made the first one, but subsequent ones are made by regular artisans, using blueprints provided by the customer. They keep some of the excess sand as payment. In fact, one might say that they cabbage the sand.

then why cant i theoretically buy sand from the market to make already-invented inventions checkmate atheists

Artisans are picky, and require fresh sand, just like Moira. You never know what those sand dealers are mixing in with their product.

[evictedSaint]

I know one sand dealer who cuts his stock with cocaine.  Completely ruins it for anything other than a really grainy snort.

Going to ask for extension, given I am currently working on stuff. Whenever Andrea and Jack get back on that.

[andrea]

No problem on the loan. As for ships, I think 3 is fine. even if one is delayed, 20 wool can sustain the market. the risk is 2 being delayed, but that should be remote.

Anyway, it is late to assess complex matters at this time and tomorrow I may be busy so...
I guess I will ask for an extension too.

Got 2.75 to deposit, can I get a 6% interest to match Jack's deal? This should help you buy the Lordship while still loaning me the money. Yes, this is a dirty trick, but we're Corsairs. Jack still makes money off it. If things go well it will be in three months.

[EuchreJack]

I'd be happy to lend to someone trying to outbid me, profit is profit after all!

I only put that bid on the title to get some business going, so I'm quite happy!  Feed the Fat Banker!

Glad you're happy then. I'll likely still be using your services later on, since Andrea isn't at the point he can offer an entire ship on loan.

[flazeo25]

@andrea: Will it be possible to get large loan come early spring, since want to do something big.

[TricMagic]

Do you expect something to come back around? That loan would mostly be based on me paying mine, so my ship would need to come in and not be delayed. Which should happen, even if it is a bit damaged from the storm.
