I can't actually afford it, so take me off. And with that we can't really compete. Cause our ship was late.

[Maxine]

Should we, the shareholders (a1s, Maxine and I) bid and rent the snow white dove for the next trip?

I don't see why not. Let's meet up on discord and decide how much we want to bid.

If you two want to make a bid together, go ahead.

[SCREE]

Update this weekend

[TricMagic]

We still need 3 people to Ship. Is your issue the destination? (You can buy multiple stocks.)

Monkey, can offer 0.5s for 1ss on return if you want to buy a second stock.

[Kashyyk]

I can also offer a loan, for much less than this "100% interest" malarkey. My usual is 10-15%

Spoiler: KashKow Enterprises (click to show/hide)

Wealth: 5.79 (4s bid on Lady Ingraine's charts)
Assets: nil

Ah, are you talking for me? I never said that I was offering loans for that amount. I am willing to loan for 10% which is more than reasonable. Not that I wouldn't mind a 100% return on investment...

Can you explain why you've opted for your weird contract? What benefit does it give compared to a standard ship contract?

I'm assuming that the Crazy Aywen will continue the meat trade.

it's in our charter that we must ply whichever route is the most profitable.

You'll need to pay for the chart, in that case.

We already payed for the chart, so technically our ship knows the route...

[MonkeyMarkMario]

Crazy Aywen shall make use of the NRC's Charts to change their Route, sailing to Northland for Preserved Meats.
0.15 must be paid for each stock owned to the NRC, for a total of 1.5s each trip. Otherwise this contract becomes void.
When the NRC Changes the Price, it is reflected on this Contract.

Recurring clause:
Unless otherwise voted on for a new route or a change of the "Crazy Aywen's" initial charter contract, every time the "Crazy Aywen" returns to port the shareholders must buy the chart from the NRC.

I'll get the ball rolling, I looked at the NRC contract and yup it is per journey. I am willing to put the bird on the "Crazy Aywen" for no charge.

Edit: Added a Recurring clause so we don't have to keep making the contract again.

Crazy Aywen shall make use of the NRC's Charts to change their Route, sailing to Northland for Preserved Meats.
0.12 must be paid for each stock owned to the NRC, for a total of 1.2s each trip. Otherwise this contract becomes void.

The price is 1.5 as of this turn (we changed it last turn).

Captains won't duplicate privately owned charts for fear of reprisal from the Crown. They may understand the jist of the route, but the sea is awash with dangers.

Mechanically speaking, people would then be paying 3/4/5 sovereigns for a one off benefit, really, unless they restricted their charts to their own ships, which is a bit against the nature of the game.

Perhaps later in the game there will be opportunities for clandestine operations but unlikely. Or possibly, an option to attempt a route with remembered information at much higher risk, perhaps. Early days yet though, I think we're  still settling into the core gameplay loop.

Changed with the info given that the price increased.

The primary benefit is that it reduces the number of shareholders. The secondary benefit is Moar Money~

With 1/10, , I'd get 1s from a 1s sale. With this system, I get 1.6 from the sales of the excess cargo plus my own. It's not as good as having 2 stocks out of 10, but we can't quite afford that given each 1/10 stock costs 1.2. As a result, we're increasing the startup costs for an increase in the value of stocks. It also has the value of inherently building up value over time.

Though being honest, the initial format has 8 stocks instead, The Eight Seas. But we don't have enough money people for that format. It's all about investment of your money, as no one can actually pay enough for the full 10 stock ships. People can however pay 2s, which is odd, but it works.

You could definitely reduce the number of holders if you included a shotgun clause...

You can definitely reduce the number of holders buying in if you include a shotgun clause.

I included a sniper clause instead.(In that people could agree to screw over other shareholders for a greater profit. Can you see the line?)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

In case repairs occurred, the majority can agree to pay a chart price, while the minority shareholders can't afford to pay both repairs and chart price. Therefore their goods and shares are seized by the ship, no auction occurring. Their stock just gets sold and distributed. So they don't even get the money from their goods that turn. Of course that requires blackheart people to pull off. Do these Corsairs seem that bad?
