May 1624 - Day 16

The markets are truly hot this spring: In total, 39 records were made in Main Menu -> Changelog (filter "Martti") since he consumed 2*IC for wine last month! Soon, Main Menu -> Agora Marketplace (filter "MyItems"), will be the preferred way to handle it. But let's just check the most important:
- Salary, 0.7 mil for 1624, has been credited.
- WOS-F (grey clothes), were sold for 1.9 mil.
- 3*IC was sold at about the same price as bought last month.
- Wine has been converted (6*W1614).

MyItems confirmed that Martti is 17 years, debt-free, has 4.7 mil in the account, enough to eat and drink for a year, has a piece of land and WOS-E1 green clothes. Whoever said the game is slow-paced is certainly correct, but the gamemaster is wondering about how fast this is, rather...

This time of the year, vegetables are not good, so Martti turns to mead - that has the dividend round in the springtime so May is a good time to drink some. Especially as Martti had his own production of 200*MEAD, he first drinks 50 (the maximum amount to get variety bonus and more than the max for frequency bonus). This does not have noticeable effect, but there is no penalty for saving the rest for later as the bonuses were cashed already.

The game is not a game without badges. The intention of CK is that character achievements in all levels would be heralded with badges. In higher levels, it is also possible to get medals, titles, honors and knighthoods. The badge consists of 2 things:

- Decoration is the immaterial status of having gained the badge.
- Token is the 14-gram copper round, which is separate and can be bought and sold, although usually after the holder of the Decoration has passed away.

Right now, badges are being reviewed and their tokens rearranged. 10 badges exist, and in the old times, when the total number was only 6, only six characters managed to get them all. Currently, these characters are King, Archduke, 2*Dukes, Prince and Marquess. Some of them were actually commoners when getting the badges! Martti regards this as an omen and heads to the market with the intention of gaining CCB (Copper Collector Badge), which is rewarded for 10 different copper coins. Understandably the GCB for 100 different gold coins is out of reach.

The listing talks its harsh language: out of 68 different, only 4 recent tokens with high mintages can be gained in the sub-1 mil range, and anything above for a collection is unthinkable at this age, when the wealth is yet to be made.

So the last action after trimming the bids and asks is to buy 1 in the last 4 pigs for sale. Martti had heard from ChrisPop in the tavern that he had not managed to secure a S-VE1. Martti wanted 4 pigs but it will have to be 3 for now (he had 2), the sales stock is certainly gone when next login...

Oh, but what does a businessman do? Of course buys the fourth pig and lists it at a slight profit at 2.5 mil! Let's do this still :)
