Police Department

That is one of the reasons I worded it as possible violation.

Reporting for duty sir. Hope we will be able to solve the 'market mystery'.

Thorpe

I have been watching the flour and bread prices since our discussion sir but I don't see any prices or products that may cause suspicion so we can't get him. Yet...

Yer all doing a great job indeed, carry on the great work.

10/08 08:23 : Mairie115 hires Adams for 30,00 pounds

Right, so this is a very good wage, which is all fine and dandy...but there is something quite suspicious about it:

When I click on Mairie115's name, instead of bringing up her character profile it says,"What's it about?"

Does anyone know about this??

That job when posted as I recall it asked for some 1 with 10 state points or something like that. Sounded official to me like a Government job for a level 3. I'm not familiar enough with the game to know for sure though.

I don't think it's anything to worry about especially if it required state points someone probably does need that but depends. And as for the wage if some people remember there was a wage that someone got hired for and it was about 40 something pounds.

I thought only TH could hire for state points. Odd that her profile didn't pull up. This may be something the admin's are doing testing on or something. I recall once the admins had a character who was a NPC [non player character] who was only 5 days old, but was level 1 and had some sort of military medal on his profile. Turns out it was levan and LJS doing beta on the medal system.

Maybe this is something that ought to be inquired about in the "bugs/ FAQ" forum?

It is rather curious.

Ha ha! solved at last

2007-08-10 08:23:01 : The town hired Adams as civil servant, for 30,00 pounds

I always wondered who that marie person was, and now I know its just the device the game uses to do these things no worries folks, its just normal procedure, but its honestly very nice that I know how these things work finally (I've seen those announcements before but never knew what they meant) *looks at marshy suspiciously*

So who actually posts the job then? Doesn't the mayor do it? Or is it some sort of automatic thing where the game hires a lev 3 for you once your state points drop below a certain point?

State points is one of those things I have little knowledge of, but I am given to understand that state points can be converted to trade points, whcih the TH needs in order buy or sell on the market. Mike sir, is this accurate?

Barerose sir, Hope you don't mind we are crowding your office again with non-police type conversation, but you have comfy chairs and this is a nice place to chat.

ignoramus maximus

Yes, per the Mayors Manual the Mayor is the one who posts the job. I think it is the Name on the job Mike was referring to.

I guess a bit of clarification:

Via town hall I posted a job requiring 10 trading state points (the type we use to buy/sell goods, the only ones that really run out regularly) for 30 pounds yesterday at reset


On the job board it said : the town hall is looking for an employee who can produce 10 trading points, wage: 30 pounds (or something like that)

Adams got it

But in the job announcement log it says that some stranger hired Adams for 30 pounds (its always the same person, so I was impressed to have finally figured out what that was about )

Indeed, it is good to find out what that was all about. You know it would be nice to have an active level 3, to help explain all this stuff instead of them leaving us in the dark like that. It seems that the level 3 group truly are a noble class, unwilling to converse with the likes of us underlings. I vow to never do such, upon reaching that level. I swear it upon my life, to always help the people under my level, for they are all equal to me. Level 0-3, we are all the same, and if it is any of us who hold the power it is the level 0's & 1's, for thet outnumber all the 2's & 3's by ten fold.
Well it is good to put this investigation to rest, for I have been watching it for some time now to no avail. Thanks Mike for finding out what that was all about.

Boomking is wanting a worker to harvest a wheat field. Skills required : 0 Strength Points, Wages: 12,00 pounds.

I found the above job listing & have sent an email to Boomking requesting that he remove & re-post it at a legal wage of 15,00 pounds or more.

Good job crew, you handled that supurbly. It was all taken care of before I even logged on. I owe you all a round for the way you handled that.
Keep up the great work indeed.

Letter from Wigtown:

Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well, for me and Sela send our love to you all from the far north. I have taken up the ol' role I left here in Wigtown, and I tell ya it is interesting indeed to be on the building end of this whole thing, but it has added a new aspect to the game.
On a more serious note though, I have sent this to inform you all that Dark Devil has also ventured to the land of the thistle, and has brought the wolf pack with him. As well as a lot of known criminals from all over Europe. I will try to keep you posted on these new threats, for some have stated their desire to also infiltrate England. I hope that we can work together from afar to keep all of our friends and families safe out there.
It is good to see hear from you all, and I apologize for not contacting you all sooner, but this building process, is really taking a lot of our time.
Hope you are all in good health, and that one day we will meet in the Green Bush again,

BareRose Chief Marshall of Wigtown

*Thorpe finally finishes moving his stuff from his old office to the new one*

Welcome everyone,

I'm Chard's new Chief of Police for this term. I will be looking forward to work with anyone who needs an advice or anyone who needs to report anything. (of course police related issues) Basically just wanted to let everyone know what's with me around this place and say hello.

That's about it from me,
Thorpe

You have sold to Xzslayerzx 2 pieces of meat for 17,30 pounds.

Why is a butcher buying meat?

I thought perhaps he was only interested in seeing who was selling it so cheap, but if that were the case, why did he buy TWO?

Think maybe someone needs to remind slayer of our speculation laws

Atri

Thorpe please send him a friendly letter asking about this.

I have sent an email and I'm currently waiting for a reply. However I think he might've bought it for his own use (as I was doing sometimes when it wasn't profitable to produce my own and sell it)

That seems reasonable. So long as he's not reselling it; that would... upset me.

thanks sir, glad your on the job.

heh heh beware the wrath of a butcher-woman scorned with market manipulated meat!

This is the message I got back from him:

Sorry if I confused you for buying those pieces of meat, dont worry, I will eat them. Its just that the price of pig and cow carcasses is too high lately and there is only a little profit as butcher, so I am forced to work in other places and buy meat instead of preparing it =P.

Best wishes

Xzslayerzx


So I guess we'll be fine.

Thorpe

hi Thorpe, how is the day treating you, ive just poped into cause im a bit bored.

xslayerx is a member of Chard SAS, maybe it would be wise to let him know how he may purchase meat from the SAS at a price still lower than that currently on the market. just for future so he wont have the same problem again.

your doing a great job and im happy to be with the council yet again for another great term.

OK, why not. I'll email him as soon as I get some free time. Good idea.

Thorpe
