Your questions are fine.

It's the emoticons that get me.

[Silanah]

It's important to use emoticons lest my messages be misinterpreted.

[Tellan]

Perhaps more judicious choice in wordplay would alleviate the aggravating factors?

[Tulas Shorn]

Don't worry I was actually sticking my tongue out when I made those posts.

Oh for the love of...to the person who keeps requesting Labourers over and over and over again, there IS at least one Labourer that I saw on the Bazaar, you know?! If it's the price that is putting you off, then I suggest you find a way to get more dinari

[Atrahal]

Actually, on a related note, looking over the recent goods and prices on the bazaar, I'm noting almost a desperation on the part of some to sell for any amount of dinari. Things like 2 Jewelry for 500 dinari wholesale...on day 1 it was 2500 dinari for 1 Jewelry!

Strikes me that we have a situation where half are desperate for money, and another half are unwilling to part with their money for anything. Wait, am I talking about the bazaar or the current real-world economy?

Ooh real-world economic burn?!

I figure someone made/picked to start with some jewelry thinking it would sell and absolutely no one has any use for it. Maybe the one guy who needed it got modkilled

[Telas]

Here.
Not gonna read up or anything.
Happy we got a frozen clock,at least I won't get mod-killed.

[Telas]

I was just looking through the Encyclopedia Madeena and saw something that seems a lot like what fener allegedly has done with the worship requirements to vote him/do actions against him:
Hürem the Red
1 CS
3 WC
1 LS
Tier 2
Entertainment Retainer. UNIQUE
Production Cost: 1 Bellydancer + 1 Silk + 1 Politics + 1 Jewelry --> 1 Hürem the Red
Special 1: Dusk only. Target a player. He must pay 2 Worship before the end of the next day/night cycle. He is guarded until he has paid this cost. This counts as a use of Hürem.
Special 2: pay 2 Politics and target a player. He cannot vote until he has paid 2 Worship. This counts as a use of Hürem. (Except it's just that they can't vote at all instead of just for one person.)
"Hürem the Red, a young slave girl from the Franc lands, who has mastered dance and the hearts of many powerful men, and who always finds an ear to whisper in - whether advice or warnings, or words of seduction. She is never lacking in admirers."

It's similar, but definitely not the same thing. As you pointed out, that means you can't vote at all. Also, that only targets one person - whereas we've seen (at least?) five people all affected at the same time.

But yeah, it's not surprising that there would be more than one way to counteract getting votes.

[Atrahal]

I've read the first 100 pages of Blood and Bone. I am yet to form an opinion.

[Atrahal]

Hah! From 1 to 5 users viewing the thread 30 seconds after my post! Lurkers, alla yous!

Kinda close but still waaay different. I doubt it is this.

The thing is that the encyclopedia only has the generic and basic faction-specific retainers. None of the djinn are on there and there could be plenty of unique-to-one-character retainers too that we just plain don't know about.

[Anomandaris]

Yeah I know I was just pointing out a similar ability.

[Atrahal]

Um, so I just had a look at the Request thread.....

Labourers guy has finally snapped
