Confirm.
I took too long to post.
I'll get my 6th choice then.
Hispania please.
Also, I just wanted to double check,
-Obviously the "Trade offer" & "trade accept" would remain on the board
but are we are allowed to negotiate deals via pm ? Or does everything have to stay on the board in public?Either you are part of the solution, or you are part of the problem. You can form two lines to make it easier for me, or I'll figure it out on my own. It is your call.-

@Mad Jackal: you are allowed to negotiate via PM, but it wouldn't make much of a difference, because the trade actions have to be done here and the resources you have can be seen by everyone on the first post.
@sprontalic: alright you got graeca, but editing is not allowed when the game started.
@Raffles: btw Asia is not the current Asia in this game, in ancient times Asia was the area now called Turkey, but it doesn't matter .Leaving mafiascum temporarily or not due to circumstances-

Can you trade goods with goods?
Are the trasactions instantaneous? i.e. Asia buys slaves from Brittania. Does it arrive in asia instantaneously or do I have to wait a turn for the resource to arrive?
If you want to upgrade an office, do you have to have the required resource in your province? If so, I can see this is going to be a problem later where we can't physically occupy the resource in that province to upgrade to the next level.Woof!-

Thanks Lawrencelot, I know it'll be public info and I'm not trying anything back handed or sinister, but some of the trades I'm imagining might involve some haggling (offer / counter offer) and such, so I would prefer to keep it on pm to avoid flooding the thread with useless drivell...

Obviously the final agreed to trade would have to be posted on board
"Offer trade X" + "accept trade X"..
I'm really looking forward to this.Either you are part of the solution, or you are part of the problem. You can form two lines to make it easier for me, or I'll figure it out on my own. It is your call.-

@Raffles: you can trade goods for goods, but when you buy from/sell to a province you can only pay with coins.
I was thinking that some trades would take several days to perform, but this would take too much time and make the game too complicated, sotrades are instantaneous.
All goods you have are not bound to one place, just to a player. So for every action, also upgrading offices, you just need to have the resources, they don't need to be in a certain place because I won't keep track of where the resources you have come from.
@Mad Jackal: well the game is meant for negotiating trades, if you do it via PM your PM box would get full and if you do it in this thread this thread will get full, it's up to you, but negotiating is the essence of this game.
@bird1111: sorry but I wanted to start the first week early in the (real) week, so I had to start or wait a whole week. I didn't expect that you were one of the last people to confirm, but the others were quicker than I thought.
I am also adding aLendaction. Those with a low budget can ask for aid at other players, for an interest they choose.Leaving mafiascum temporarily or not due to circumstances-

I will wait just a little bit longer and then I will send a PM to geraintm and HackerHuck. I don't think they forgot about this game, I think they just haven't checked yet and I forgot to say confirm in the game title. In the meanwhile you can already negotiate like some of you already started with.Leaving mafiascum temporarily or not due to circumstances-

The Britannia Iron Emporium has a special on Iron this week! Selling at 450 - how much can I fetch for you?Shanba wrote:I'll buy Iron for any price under the Roma buy price. Most other goods I'm not really interested in at the moment. And I'm not selling grain, as there's not much point.
And would you like it giftwrapped? :DM4yhem - "IH loves donking his splourney in public places. He likes it most when little old ladies and school children are nearby, because then he also show off his crot."-

geraintm, you need to pick a region.
Raffles, every week you get to buy first, then there's player trading and then you get to sell stuff. Given an infinite amount of weeks, you will generally speaking become infinitely rich, yes, but I would be very much surprised if that were to become an issue.Scumchat is awesome. Yarr!
