Tahar Dwineplith (Endmine)

((OCC:I do not know, but I saw two people paroling front gates few minutes ago.))

((OCC: a bit of powergaming. City gates would be closed before you could reach them, as thousand men army could be spotted miles away))

Tahar sees gathered people in a square. Comes closer and starts listening to people shouting to each other. Finds a moment when nobody is speaking and stars talking. "You are no better than those bloodthirstily Valah. Firstly you come and threaten with foreign armies and then try to talk about the peace. Also who will stop Oren or other nation from simply taking over Malinor when they take down our councils? This is our problem and it will be solve by our people. We do not need any foreign armies boots in our land. Anybody who tries to bring death to our lands should be arrested and exiled from our lands no mater who he is. As much I am concerned you my by bribed by those white rose Valachs to foment disagreement between our people." OCC:(Stop whining about Malins. As long mobs drop minas they are no better than Malins)

Tahar reds the notes on noticeboard and begins to write one himself. "Yes one of main disadvantages of having Malins is that we are completely dependent on our councils. I myself do not have great trust in them as they change quite often. Old people go away, new people come and with them polices can change drastically which I do not like. You somehow only see disadvantages of Malins but they bring a lot of good things too. Firstly our economy becomes more stable and independent on other nations. When other economies my be on brink of collapse our will be able to function without much of a change. Also it allows only Malinor workers to get housing, which is great as rich people from other nations will not be able to outbid our own people and everybody has fair chance of getting housing. Furthermore I do not seen need for Malinor citizens to have minas as all their needs are fulfilled by having a job inside Malinor. I do not see why elfs should go outside Malinor and live inside other nations, unless you are a merchant, but most population is simple workers not merchants. In the end merchants can simply do item trade. In the end as far as I know there is no restriction to sell collected goods outside Malinor for minas if you really need them, nobody ask you to only get Malins... - Tahar" Tahar finishes writing the note and pins it to the noticeboard.

Tahar puts a piece of paper with some questions written on it inside lockbox. I assume there will no be no community option for wages, so we will need to live of 2 Malins for whole week as 10 Malins will go to paying for housing? Are not quotas a bit to big? They quadrupled form initial quotas and from your saying they can increase even further if Hight Council will need more goods? My main concern at the moment is lumberjacks quota. It needs apples but we do not have trees which produce high amount of apples. I am pretty happy when I get one from 20 trees. Signed, Tatar Dwinepith

Firstly it is unrealistic in every possible way there is. Secondly is it unfair as only hunter/warriors benefit from it. So such currency system makes no sense.

I did not really complained about my items. I was trying to figure out what it thiefs are allowed to do. Not relay sure how guards or neighbors can do anything as sometimes server has <10 people on it. I already considered finding locksmith as it it best solution. Also it is important to find and punish people if they are breaking the rules which you suggest to simply ignore. Ether way thanks for answers.

For my case i live in a city. Thief take ~20 emeralds ant some other stuff form one, >3 stack of wheat and other vegetables from second chest. Not to mention left some of his own stuff in my chest... Other thiefs at lest left a sign. Also I have seen a lot of signs saying that doors or chest are locked. Does this mean anything? Would thief need gm and do a /roll to go past this kind of "security"? The problem I see that there is no way to know if you been robed by "legal" thief.

So I have a question. How to know a difference if you have been just simply robed or "greefed"? As now there is no perms and only vips can add locks. So basically anyone can enter you house and take anything they want. Obviously good thiefs at least leave a sign, but not every one. Is there a restriction how much legal thief (has VA) can take?

So we are breaking even more our broke economy. Normal workers do not have any means to get money from their goods as there is no demand, because everybody can simply go and collect needed goods by themselves. Kingdoms do not have income to pay for their workers and guards. For kingdom go and farm mobs to have money is not an income. Although I agree that we can increase items drops for mobs a bit, to make life easier for hunters and warriors. And for money none or less than 0,5 mina per mob, because you can assume that hunter kill hundreds of mobs a day ant you do not want for regular workers earning more from regular encounters with mobs than from their real job. If it is easier to simply go and kill some mobs to earn required amount of money, than to do your job, then it is not a good thing for economy.

Name of the Person who Proposed the Change: Whitebeard Change: Resource permits Your concerns about the Change: I like main idea, but problem lies with wilds and unregioned plots. People will simply go to them and gather resources for free while other people will have to spend money for permits.

Firstly what is this Elder Empire with it's capital city Wilvanash in the middle of Malinor lands? So we are going to abandon Nomador or how it will work? OCC: are you working on Wilvanash or Sylvenor? Also I myself and probably other city workers and citizens would like to help in any way we can.

Maybe simply add levels limit. You can only make one skill at 100, 90, 80 an so on.... Also it should be easier to get lower levels 1-50, but much harder 50-100, because already there is too much master/legendary swordsman, blacksmiths and others... Maybe 100 level could only be appointed in similar way VA are appointed now.

Everybody makes mistakes. So is server fixed or we need to wait till it will be loaded with newer save?

Wearing full plate (iron, diamond, gold) restricts movements so it should be harder to hit someone, even using a bow. So people wearing armor should have reduced attack. Basically you exchange attack for defense.

Walk away if do not want to have trouble”. Tahar turns aroundand starts to walk away. Tahar:”Well maybe is not my business, but maybe a guard’ssquad that I meet few minutes ago will be interested in this. They actuallysaid they are searching for bandits that are thought to be in the area.”Bandits: “Now you have done it! Prepare to die!” Tahar speaks: ”I would like tosee a fully armored thug caching an elf” and starts running away from bandits.Bandits realize that they cannot catch him.

If I do not have it on spot I can order it from the guild.”Tahar thinks for a moment:”Hm... I could use a new iron axe, because my old oneis getting rusty and I need a string to make new fishing rod. How much will itbe? ” Merchant: “An axe would be 500 minas and a sting is 5 minas a piece.”Tahar:”Okay then I will take two pieces of sting, but an axe is too expensivefor me. Maybe you have some iron to sell, that I could repair my old one.”Merchant: ”Iron bar cost 100 minas.” Tahar: ”It is not cheap but I have to fixmy axe, because I will not be able to work.

Tahgar opens chest which is not locked. Chest contains fiveiron bars and glittering golden sword. Taher scratches his head and thinks:”Why would somebody leave a golden sword… Hm… I could take it and make a bit of moneyselling it, but it is really heavy and I would need to drag it to the city.Also it will attract bandits and I will need to explain where I find it so Ibetter leave it alone. I will take one bar of iron to repair my tools, notworth dragging all of them with me.” Tahgar takes one iron bar form chest andcloses it and leaves the hut. Hungry and lost in the wilderness, youstumble across a small trading camp nestled among the forest, they greet you inthe common tongue, how do you respond? While on the work Tahar get lost inside a forest. He wandered for almost aday. Then he spotted clearing in forest canopy and headed straight to thatplace. Forcing his way through dense buses he finally reaches clearing. Therehe spots a camp and some working people. One person spots Tahar and waves.Tahar puts his axe on the ground and waves : ”Hello there! What are you doing here?”Trader: “Hello you too. We are traders. We are preparing our camp for thenight.” Tahar gets closer to trades: “I get lost in the forest and have beenwandering for two days. Could you spare same water and food? But I only have fewcoins in return. Also could you show me a way to nearest town?” Trader: ”Certainly.Come we will give you some food and water.” Tahar goes with trader and quicklyeats and drinks. Tahar: “Thank you. I was really hungry and thirsty.” Trader:“Happy to be able to help. Nearest town is east about two kilometers fromhere.” Tahar: “Thank you for all the help.

Be prepared we will bemoving in few hours.” Tahar: “Okay. So what is the plan of attack and how manybandits there are?” Guard: “For our knowledge there are about 10 bandits. Planis simple: we go out and kill them.” Tahar: “Simple…But if we attack them atnight and kill their leader we will couth them by surprise and they will bedisoriented and easy targets. Not that I doubt that we win, but I think winingwith a smaller number or avoiding altogether casualties is a plus.” Guard:”Interesting idea. I think we will go with it.” Guard shouts: “Everybodylisten! Change of plans! We will be moving out after a midnight! Do not belate! ” After midnight all guards and volunteers gather in square. Guard: ”Okaymen. We will try to take them by surprise. So archers’ first task will be toneutralize camp watchers. Then I and a two other guards will charge banditsleader camp.
