Mercatores - week 8

[logicticus]

im gonna be gone next week until friday...

can i still pull off all my phases after that? i forget when the start of the next week begins

[Raffles]

I want to know the interest level for Timber next week. Going at 90 each.

I'm also willing to buy further 4 bricks.

[logicticus]

i mean 90 for timber is pretty steep dont you think? thats quite the markup you are giving yourself

logicticus, when are you leaving? I'm ending this week soon, the next week will probably start tomorrow. I'll see if I can end the next week after you returned, so that you will have enough time to trade. I won't wait for too long however.

Raffles what did you mean with the interest level for Timber? Or were you not talking to me in that post, then nevermind.

I will change some values when I end the week, but I won't change too much. Also Raffles friend had some suggestions, I'm still waiting for them, I think it has something to do with the values. Hope he will join this game too (as geraintm's replacement).

I am not implementing the myth power into the game yet, I first want the values to be fair enough.

I don't really know logic.

Mad Jackal for example has to buy them from Roma at 100 coins which is where Raffles could sell his lumber for 80.

So raffles getting 10 coins per over 80 per log and Mad Jackal getting 10 coins under 100 per log seems like a reasonable deal to me.

Such that "pretty steep mark-up" doesn't seem to apply.. but then again I was able to procure them at 80 last week- though I think that transaction had anotehr cost assoiciated with it as well.

My problem with raffles and his current offer is more that the timing of the trade would put it after the buying phase at which I think I want my lumber next turn....

And I'm not sure how much brick I will be able to hold next turn so I'll get back to you raffles after I can run some numbers ok ?

[Mad Jackal]

Edit by way of double post. I got 4 grain from Leptopus in trade 147 and did the final quantities right, but I only listed 2 grain in the transaction section. My apologies.

the current status is right.

[logicticus]

i will return mid afternoon (west coast time) on friday.

if the next weeks day can end latish on saturday that would be great

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Mad Jackal, same deal next turn?

[Mad Jackal]

CES, at this time I don' think so.

I did that mainly for the wood, and next week I'll need the wood before you can trade it to me... And I am not sure with my other purchase list / requirements that I'll even be able to buy a wine that time around.

[Mad Jackal]

plus, I forgot to mention it makes me feel nervous that another said thye could cut you a better deal. I can't afford to get myself undercut at this point.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Damn.

Logic, still around?

[logicticus]

im here

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Want to sell me a wine next "week"?

[logicticus]

sure, 9500?

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Of course.

[Raffles]

90 is steep? Hey cmon, have mercy. This is about the only thing I can sell and I gotta make every coin I can make to keep up.

[Shanba]

Lend 5000 sestertii to Mad Jackal for three weeks at a non-cumulative interest rate of 10% to be paid to me weekly during the buy phase.

Phew.

thanks Shanba, I'm doing this as I don't think I'll be hurt by it, and I want to see how it plays out.

[Mad Jackal]

edit. by way of double post. Shanba I don't think I have a mechanism to get you coins in the buy phase. If I do then I guess I agree (as I accepted the trade ) but I thought we had negotiated the intrest in the trading phase...

[Leptopus]

I'd be interested in Timber at 90 next week.

On another topic, we need to know when the turn is going to end in advance, so we can log in and do our selling.

My assumption is the mod will transfer the money to me with or without your intervention, and it's more useful to me in the buy phase . If I'm wrong, of course, then I'm happy with you sending me the money during the trading phase.

I would hope that sending a pm to the mod of a list of "if the week ends before I can log on I will sell x goods to y provinces" would work.

I had been planning to do that back when I had goods I was going to sell.

I can't say that it will, but Lawrencelot could....

Well this is true, and while I understand your position that we had negotiated one thing and posted another. Shame on me for not reading it all 100% fully before accepting. I stand warned.

[sprontalic]

It's OK mate - I can get it from Rome

How about if I made it cheaper?
