Major points that went by since last time.

1) Lot's of talk about the morality of killing.

Please change your subject line to "Olympia: the morality of killing"
This is "Olympia: Free market economy"

2) Don't let the trade skill effect puchase price or people will just
set min equal to max.

I didn't mean that the trade skill just haggled for you.  I meant that
if there were 10 swords seller and 10 buyers making offers, the best
tradesman would be able to sell to the highest bidders, and so on.  The
range would define when the bidder was too low to consider, and what
asking price you wanted to post (the other way to get the bid away from
a superior trader is to undercut him).

3) What abou the NPC's?

I'd like to see the draft of your NPC system when you have it ready.  I
was not aware there were more than one of us working on them.  I'll do
the same when I have my system set up.  I should note that I was
planning on making the NPC sensitive to demands so they could "pop up"
when an area needed more of an item.  Also, the NPC demand would have to
do with money in the area, not just price.  (That way overtaxing/looting
and the like would kill the economy)'

I don't have time for anything more coherent or detailed today, but I am
interested in continuing the discussion.  (The economy one, not the
morality one)
