Trading
Policies
- Values for all items are given in DAGUM Dollars (Delightfully Arbitrary Guum Units of Measurement).
- Please no haggling -- this especially applies to "skill" items like blown glass. I know that a Distillation Coil is, at its most basic, just a glass pipe. It's taken me probably 1000 glass pipes and a lot of time, though, to get to the point where I can make 6k coils consistently. If you think my prices are too high, feel free to seek a trade elsewhere or learn how to do it yourself.
- That being said, I am open to alternative payment forms, especially from newer and solo players who may not have access to large amounts of the goods I want in trade. I am willing to barter for clay-gathering services or slate-gathering services or gravel-smashing services or kettle-stoking services for some things: if you can't afford a piece that you need and you're nice about it, chances are good I'll help work something out.
- Trades happen at my compound in northern Maia. It's a long run (20ish minutes) from any chariot, and about equidistant from Sterope and Maia chariots. For larger trades, I may be able to meet you at one of those two chariots.
- Inventory fluctuates substantially from day to day and week to week; my needs may also change. Please ask about current inventory before coming down.
- Along the same lines: I don't take pre-orders. I try pretty hard to only sell what I actually have in stock. If you know me, you'll understand why it's better that way, for all concerned. ;)

Current Petitions
1. You Can't OWN Property, Man!
The intent of this law is to make land ownable. Existing structures will be unaffected, and existing compounds can be expanded/built as normal. Each paid account will be able to own only 1 plot of land, and the size of that plot will be determined by distance from the CS. Other players can be designated as "friends", allowing them to build in your radius of ownership.
- Paid accounts will gain the option to "Make this my home compound" on any cornerstoned compound they own.
- Only 1 cp can be designated as home at a time.
- The first time a cp is designated as home, the effect will be immediate. If a different cp is designated, there will be a 48 hour waiting period during which neither the original nor the new cp is home.
- All existing buildings in the radius of ownership at the time the home designation goes into effect will be unaffected. Existing compounds built by other players will be unaffected as well.
- When a home designation goes into effect, the cornerstone of the designated cp will claim a radius of ownership equal to (the distance from the nearest CS / 50) (revised from distance / 30) coordinates, but not to exceed 80 coords.
- Other players will be unable to build new structures in the home cp's radius of ownership, unless the owning player selects "Add a player as a friend" from the home cp's Ownership menu.
- Friended players will be able to build as normal. Friending can be undone at any time, but unfriending does not remove already-built structures.
2. Amendment to Departed Player Act
The Departed Player Act shall be amended as follows:
- As these are intended to be temporary structures for new players rather than permanent structures, all exterior woodplanes, flimsy brickracks, flax combs, and small distaffs, regardless of who built them, shall be claimable 14 days after they were constructed. Drying racks will be unaffected by this amendment.
- Any compound which has been at 0% protection level for at least 60 days can be salvaged by anyone.
That is all.
