Also, it looks impossible to actually start an expedition A1s. I don't have the money to hire anyone and go on an expedition, unless I forgo equipment.

Does anyone give out loans? From calculations I need 3₣ flat to get off the ground running. Depnds on how much each run grants.

Maybe TAC will immediately reloan that money the Guild returned?

Not entirely sure what such a loan will look like. What's the average return for dungeon expeditions?

Kashyyk (on behalf of the Explorators Union) offers to sell one (1) Sandpaper to ______ (on behalf of the Torchlight Adventuring Concern) for 0.14 Florins.

You'll have to ask TAC, but if the Cartographers Guild reckoned they could pay back 3 and a bit Florins from their loot haul next turn, that would average at about 1 Florin per day of Adventuring.

This is a possibility, although I would strongly like to have enough funds to get an Adventurer out the door at some point in the immediate future.

I still want the D. The D is love, the D is life. The D is bully.
Rewind, can't keep going
My mind keeps replaying
That night when we dove in
But now I'm sinking

Quote from: In no way demonic Proposal
TAC will loan Tim 3₣. TAC has the right to 50% of the loot Tim's Adventurers bring back for three Expedition Turns, it's market value weighed against a flat 6₣. After which Tim pays the rest of the 6₣ payment. Negotiations on market value included, payment may be deferred with additional 50% Expeditions.

If the above is signed, I'll be buying the services Ms. Heiger Iverson and 1 Sword, both at the base bid price. And sending her, Sword in hand, on an Expedition to the Overgrown Cave. Think of it as joint ownership.

Of course, not opposed to a more solid partnership between us.

I would have to confer with the Arbitrator before I sign a contract any more involved than a loan, but for what it's worth, I would not be opposed to some kind of "subsidiary" contract in which you pay a fee to us in exchange for support.

I will not be signing the contract you proposed, however, due to the possibility of a closer relationship (and, quite frankly, because I can hardly understand the terms).

Fair. Effectively, for each turn my adventurer(s) are on an expedition, you receive half the loot. The 6F benchmark is what that' loot's market price is priced against. At the end of it, I then pay any remaining loan. Effectively, the loot is barter currency to pay off the loan, and by the end you have double what you loaned me when I pay the rest.

How averse would you be to an ongoing contract (50% until the equivalent of 6F is paid, then a lower sum with the guarantee that we will support you if you suffer a loss)?

As a general rule, do not use ACTx3 on conditional actions. The Lazy Fair system is intended to allow the GM to update with the bare minimum amount of effort (which is still a lot of effort for a game like this)- they don't want to have to dig through posts to figure out whether or not you received a loan.
Also, unless you buy out (at double the high bid) an item, you don't have it until the next turn, so you cannot immediately send it on an expedition. This is because- well, imagine if someone outbids you for an item; now you've sent an adventurer on an expedition with something you don't actually own.

So won't have the adventurer till next turn?

Depends on the sum I suppose.  10%? (Negotiations~)
