B. either they show up, or we leave them behind- at that point its their own damn fault.

[notquitethere]

C.

Best not set a precedent for waiting for stragglers, otherwise we might just get more stragglers in future port stops.

[Maximum Spin]

C they probably died

[notquitethere]

Even if they're not dead, missing the boat is the most classic sailor thing to do. There were sailors who got drunk, slept in, and missed getting on the Titanic. It's a normal occurrence and not something we need to slow down for.

[Haspen]

"If they failed to come back, then it is up for them to find their way back to Lusia. Lift anchor, set the sails! We leave right away!"

"Aye, Captain!"

Without further delay, the work on the ship begins - so that it leaves the port within an hour!

3rd Midwinter

Afternoon

Copana, Coast of Columbia

Wages:
2 Ducats per Sailor a Day for 143 Sailors over 4 Days from Sebastias to Copana: 1.144 Ducats

As the sailors who were allowed to disembark are reprimanded by the First Mate about the duty to the ship, not the bottle, the Purser comes up with the ledger in hands.

"Monsieur Captain, I am ready. Whereas shall we go first? The Company Man? The Market?"

"Do you know the Company Man of this port?"

"A little bit. Not a very cooperative of friendly fellow, from what I remember."

A) "Let's visit him first anyway!"
B) "To the market then!"

[notquitethere]

Well let's not delay, and just go to the Market. Sooner we're out of this island the better.

B

[Haspen]

"To the market then!" You and the Purser leave the ship for Copana's marketplace.

The Market Keeper meets with you and discusses the wares the colony has; indeed, there's Silver to be obtained, at government-set prices. Also, there's a shortage of alcohols in the colony, and therefore the merchants, represented by the Keeper, are willing to pay more for certain beverages.

Blackspice: 60 Coffers (3 SL) priced 1000 Ducats each.
Bitterfruit: 820 Sacks (82 SL) priced 235 Ducats each.
Crimsonpeel: 100 Coffers (5 SL) priced 600 Ducats each.
Firestalk: 230 Sacks (23 SL) priced 1430 Ducats each.
Silver: 250 Barrels (50 SL) at set buying price of 8000 Ducats each.
Spicebark: 133 Coffers (>7 SL) priced 145 Ducats each.
Sugar: 95 Sacks (>10 SL) priced 75 Ducats each.
Sweetpod: 120 Coffers (6 SL) priced 1330 Ducats each.

Copana Market is currently buying Old World Textiles at Company Value.
Copana Market is currently experiecing some alcohol shortages, and is therefore buying Grapedrink at 345 Ducats per Barrel, and Fruitbrew at 700 Ducats per Barrel, and all other Alcohols at Company Value.

"Adding to what I said last time, Bitterfruit is also in season as it is second harvest this year." The Purser says, eyeing the prices.

A) "Time to buy some... (insert trade goods here)!"
B) "Let's sell some... (insert trade goods here)!"
C) Consult the Ledger.

[Fluffe9911]

"Let's visit him first anyway!" You and the Purser leave the ship for Copana's marketplace.

Think we may have ADHD

Anyway C

[Haspen]

"I want to consult the Ledger."

"Of course!" The Purser opens the heavy book for you. "Here you go, sir."

[Maximum Spin]

I believe we will still be able to make a handsome profit on Blackspice at 1000, given we're selling it for 800 over home market price, which is unlikely to be much less than 800, the lowest price we've seen yet here where it's produced, provided we can just get enough of it; so let's Buy all the Blackspice on the market.

We should Also sell Grapedrink and Fruitbrew at least enough to make sure we will have room to finish filling our Blackspice order, and frankly, without any information to tell us otherwise, I'd sell it all here. We can't afford to sail back and forth bargain-hunting. That'll leave us with the free space to try some other commodities.

[Kashyyk]

Swapping the Buy and Sell order in the last two updates caught me out.

I approve of Buying all the Blackspice and Selling all the Grapedrink amd Fruitbrew.

Bitterfruit, Crimsonpeel, Sugar, and Spicebark I think, are all in Season. Also of note is *Silver*. Is that a good price for it Mr Purser?

[notquitethere]

I approve of Buying all the Blackspice and Selling all the Grapedrink amd Fruitbrew.

You buy all the Blackspice and sell all the Grapedrink and Fruitbrew.

"Forty-two thousand three hundred forty Ducats gotten and sixty thousand spent." Says the Purser, noting it all down in the ledger. "As for Silver, I believe we're looking at two or three thousand Ducats of profit per Barrel, depending if the metal market back home is currently stable."

A) "Alright, now let's buy (insert trade good here)!"
B) "Alright, now let's sell (insert trade good here)!"
C) "I think we're done trading in Copana!"
D) Consult the Ledger.

[Maximum Spin]

All right, A, buy Silver. I'll leave it to others to decide how much.
