Errors to csd@microplex.com
Now there should be a digest whenever (a) there are 10 emails
or (b) whenever there is an email waiting for more than 48 hours
for a digest to be completed.
So don't get worried if the digest has only 1 or 2 emails, that
just means the list has been slow.
(I hope it works)

Subject: Wagons in Jaca

Just to update those interested....

6 wagon-making faction(myself included) have agreed that somthing has to
be done about the market in Jaca.  These 6 factions have 85 of the 100
wagons so I'm hoping we can all work something out.

I have yet to hear from the following factions.

Argonauts (464) 1 wagon
        Zorbas the Greek & Associates (806) 3 wagons
        House of Marta (749) 0 wagons but capability to build 10
        Order of the Crescent Hawk (940) 8 wagons
        Order of the Crimson Skull (928) 5 wagons

Maybe they dont read the list so I'll write directly to them.

right now about 100 wagons will be sold in Jaca, where demand is 65.
count on selling about 2/3 of what you order to be sold.  Next turn
will see demand drop to 36.  You can all see where this is leading.
Let's do something about it.  Ideas?

Subject: Weight of Magic items (fwd)

Hi,

Does anyone know how much magic items weigh? I guess a Magic Sword weighs
the same as a normal one, but the items created out of thin air have no
specified weight. Are they weightless (intentionally(?), bug(?)) or is
there a limit on how many Gloves/Helms/Picks/Wands a man can carry?

Any info appreciated.

TIA,
	Charlie

Gloves, potions, wands etc. are weightless, like herbs and silver. They do
notshow up on other people's reports, but you can steal them if you know they
arethere (oops - I meant to say that *allegedly* you can steal them ;-)

Idea : stop making any wagons.

Idea : get a mage cartel to enchant them all and peg off around the world to
sell them all.

Idea : Have a war with each other

Idea : run a competition to build the biggest wagon - winner gets control of
the market.

Idea : Get a mage to open a portal to somewhere where there is better demand.
You could even pay him in wagons ;-)

Idea : make something else out of the wood, such as carts.

Idea : give away a free wagon with every wagon sold

Idea : submit some or all of them as evidence in the OJ trial

Idea : get a thief cartel to steal wagons from your rivals and burn them (the
wagons, not the cartel)

Idea : kill all workers in the city. This will raise the local population,
andincrease demand.

Idea : work together with each other. Design an equal quota system of how
manywagons each faction can produce and sell each month, don't let anyone else
produce any, and then support each other to open up other areas of production,
such as longbows and crossbows (best weapons in the game after mages) and
utilise other natural resources if there are any. Do you have water? Then build
boats (for the hell of it if you can't think of a use for them. You could always
fill them with wagons, sail them out to sea, and sink em ;-)

hope this helps ;-)
