[Read First] The Trade Sub-Forum!

[Auvreaeath 263]

OOC Portion

So Recently, I've gone through the Trade Sub-Forum and I've removed all of those old Trade Topics that in a Roleplay perspective would have caused that Character to age two years and.. I don't think you'd RPly stand around trying to get people to buy something, right? So, I'd like to tell you all I'm going to "try" and do a bit of organization for this Sub-Forum and keep things going on right.. Something that I've really been looking into is the OOC these topics have been getting.. ;P

I'm aiming for getting this Sub-Forum to be used more often, recently our trading at LotC has dwindled to a almost stop and now we only get atleast.. 1-2 Trade Posts per two weeks.. So, instead of me getting a few billion Minas and buying everything in here I'm going to try and redirect people to this Sub-Forum, have Nations trade. Something I really want to get going is more Roleplay in this Sub-Forum.. ;P Yes Yes, I know that it's the forums, and you can RP better in game, but if you want to trade here, You've got to RP just like you would in game.

Rules/Guidelines

These aren't really rules more of Guidelines.. But I'd rather you follow them as if they were rules.

• NO OOC! (I know that this ones a bit hard to follow, if you need to OOC, you may, but if you can avoid it, simply use the Forum Messanger.
  
• Don't magically Respond, or magically post notes/trades. (Try and go into RP while replying/posting)
  
• Roleplay Roleplay Roleplay, (This is kind of like the above, but just remember to Roleplay, don't go gangster if your character isn't gangster.. Kay?)
  
• Do not make powergaming trade messages. Remember that forcing actions upon another character (such as with messages such as "You see a note posted...") is powergaming, and will not be tolerated.
  

Note: If your Trade Post has not received a response in 8 Days, it will be considered outdated as through RP you would have been there for a Year. If your post is outdated or is going to become outdated, Simply RP posting it up again to get new buyers.

Trade Formats [Optional]

If you would like, make a simple post to try and advertise on your own regards, just make an attempt to keep it clean and readable.

A man climbs up onto the podium, waving his arms around for attention. When he is finally satisfied, he holds his wares up for sale and for all to see. He shouts out to the potential customers;

"I have many wares for sale! Offer your offers for this majestic golden helmet or this unbreakable diamond chest plate!"

A Message from the Monks

-A Flier is posted in the Center of The Cloud Temple, you walk up ti it and begin reading-

"Greetings Travelers, recently the Monks of the Cloud Temple have built a nice trading post down in the lower parts of the valley, follow the paths to get down there.

We ask that you use this area for your trades if you would like, from time to time we will be hosting auctions and trades of our own here and you may also join in and do so.

We also ask that you keep the posts and notes pinned against our walls to a minimum..

Thank you"

Magical Posters of Evil, By ours Truely, Freya

A stocky Dwarf waddles up to a podium with a sheath of papers, which he spills slowly onto the stage as he talks. He coughs roughly, then addresses the assembled crowd.

G-G-reetings and Salutations, Asulonians!

We've been r-receiving shocking reports across the lands of posters on n-n-otice-boards!!

But these ain't just any posters ye see. Oh no. Apparently (here, he whispers still loud enough for all to hear), thanks to some rather shady Dwarven sources, we've found out t'at t'ese posters are... well, m-magical in nature!

Apparently, anyone in the land, wherever they may be, in w-war or peace, ground or treetop, can see these... from any location.

It's downright sorcery! (he tosses his papers high into the air, and grabs some as they flutter back down)

Grandma does - wait thats not the right one - Ahem. Normally, a bit of light-hearted magic doesn't bother me, but t'is... is absolutely villainous!

It's possessing the minds and vision of many a unwary traveller, causing t'em tae be disorientated, and in some cases, fall off of cliffs (and stuff.).

I don't know about you, but I think this is barbaric! I vote that we tear down any of t'ese magical poster-ma-bobs and burn them in fire! Lots of it!

The Dwarf coughs rapidly, and hobbles off the stage, waving to the audience with a weak hand.

[[Non-RP sales posters, and those that we deem do not contain sufficient information to find seller and make the trade will be removed by angry mobs. Thank you!~]]
