ACTx3: 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.
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?


You will not, no, unless you buy her outright (like we did with the Dagger).

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)?

Depends on the sum I suppose.  10%? (Negotiations~)
I was thinking 20%. Meet in the middle with 15%?

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.

Lady Floros, now empowered to enter any contract dealing with TAC's finances in her capacity as Treasurer, has drawn up an alternate contract for Tim to sign.

Quote from: Contract of Subsidiary Relationship
We, the undersigned, agree to enter a Subsidiary Relationship with TAC. In this case, TAC (the Parent) agrees to loan a sum of 3₣ to Tim (the Subsidiary) immediately after the signing of this contract, to be spent on establishing themselves in the adventuring business.

Immediately from the signing of this contract on, the Subsidiary is required to transfer to the Parent 50% of the proceeds from adventuring they obtain until 6₣ or the equivalent of items (measured by their market price) has been transferred.

After the Subsidiary has paid off the initial 6₣, they are required to transfer 15% of all proceeds gained by adventuring (or their equivalent in florins) measured by market value. In exchange, the Parent agrees to subsidize the Subsidiary in case they suffer a loss.

Only if they don't have funds to pay their debts. Good luck... ;D

The kitchenette mold free, you move on to the pantry. it's nasty in there. The bacon is grazing on the lettuce. The ham is having an illicit affair with the prime rib, The potatoes see all, know all. A rat in boxer shorts smoking a foul smelling cigar is banging on a cabinet shouting about rent money.

I tried to play chess but two of my opponents were playing competitive checkers as a third person walked in with Game of Thrones in hand confused cause they thought this was the book club.
