Well, you started off with a seadog kinda person and worked your way there. I admit, thaty was before me. But the actual trading rules, goods and credit started aftere I started the first trade.

[Iituem]

I'll fill in the barfight after I've had a break, although if I miss it anyone can take it up.

But yeah, I figured I might as well do some additional dovetailing with Mistaris.  I do like my Chekhov's Guns, after all.

Well for a non-merchant player the only impact of the merchant stuff seems to be I can now raid resources and dabble in trade occasionally for quick profit, and then the GMs get slowed a bit, so for most players it doesn't make the game much more complicated, or turn it into a game of bean-counting, I just see it could do with a lot of simplifying for the people who are involved one way or another with it. Then again for someone who owns assets or manages a country/land I can see how it would affect them... ah the good old simplicity of being an adventurer, also Iiteum are you still doing the warehouse raid? Just you said you'd do it a few nights ago and I wondered if when you got busy with the whole moving thing you'd forgotten.

Well, all that automation that's been talked about so much and the guilds will simplify trade and make it yield steady income. The more routes your guild has and more counting houses, the greater the yearly income. Its really a way for a commoner to gain status without being able to hold any land or titles. I am really poor at the maths or coding it myself. I rather enjoy the macroeconomics and the social/political side of it all much more, since I'm studying it for a degree right now.

Another good way for commoners to distinguish themselves is to do something worthy of being knighted.

Such as destroying a regiment of bandits. By yourself. With one of thier comrades corpses

[Shootandrun]

May I have a roll to know when do I wake up (since only my breasplate connected with another man's body, I guess I survive)?

[Taricus]

Why'd I leave the corpse anyway? I think I might have a weapon proficiency with them

[CyberGenesis]

The trade rules spawned out of a rather long and epic pm I sent iituem. The trade routs themselves will need some sort of limiting feature beyond the costs of upkeep. The main issue is the the requirement of 3 ships immediately makes it 5/yr in upkeep minimum. Meaning it require at least 1.5-2x that per year to make it profitable. The point of the routes should be to simply eliminate the micromanagement requirement and still make money not replace manual trades altogether.

May I have a roll to know when do I wake up (since only my breasplate connected with another man's body, I guess I survive)?

Rolled, and you are now awake.

Taric, if you're that keen on it you can take the other man's corpse instead.

[Taricus]

Yay!

Still, any chance of becoming proficient with either wielding corpses or mauls?

[Iituem]

Yay!

Still, any chance of becoming proficient with either wielding corpses or mauls?

Mauls, same rules as for swordsmanship mastery - lethal duel with a 3hp opponent using only mauls and win 3 maul duels.

Corpses... I... I guess the same.  That or murder 25 people with an intact or 50% intact corpse (half a corpse would technically be acceptable, but not just a limb).  Yeah, pull that off and I'll give you a +1 to using whole or partial human corpses as weapons.

The good news is that you're already 2/25 towards that (would have been 3, but you didn't kill Lightningblade).

[Taricus]

Can the corpse be onn fire and flung into a barracks to count for that?

[King_of_the_weasels]

Can the corpse be onn fire and flung into a barracks to count for that?

If so then I'm obviously really proficient with using gunpowder.

[Taricus]

Oh dear, it looks like I found the perfect weapon
