YIIPPP-PPPPEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! There is no way to hold back now! Martti has become owner of Free Land lot #11, at the tender age of 16! This is how it happened - he was just hanging around when His Highness, the Mayor (Duke of North Face, etcetera) also had a free time slot, or perhaps he was thinking the fates of his troops. Anyway a conversation ensued and Martti was told that the Town does indeed have a "free land program" for L3+ : both "chicken coops" in the Needle Lane, but also sizable plots of unbuilt land in 4-SW. One total per character.
Knowing that land is permanent and buildings temporary, Martti was markedly more interested in the empty land. Already the next day - a Town clerk came to inform that the title had been transferred, with the stipulation that the building is for personal use.
Martti's belief is that even at present, this land could be sold for 5-10 mil (if it was according to rules), but later, when the area becomes more developed and its prestige grows, even 50 mil for the land only is not daydreaming. So Martti has the seed of a fortune in his hand now, and it will grow mostly without regard to what Martti does. Excellent hedge to the market activities then!
Health situation is not too good with high prices in the market. Martti opts to sell his meager 20*VEG for good money in the market, and consume 50*MEAD (that he has produced last winter due to the DIS equipment he got upon L3). After this, he is still Severe, hoping that next month, a lot more VEG would come to the market.
Now would be the time to start preparing for promotion to Novice L4, which requires proper clothes. For centuries, the tailors have made suits in 4 common, 1 noble and 1 royal color. Later, the peasant color and servant color were also acknowledged to be clothes, yet not suits.
The rules governing the colors proper to a character, are somewhat long and detailed. And basically unchanged from the prior link, written 175 years ago. In Martti's understanding, gray is the minimum level (he already had a set, but traded it away at double price). Green is a reasonable all-around choice. The next level would probably be Red, because White conveys learning, or at least study (not Martti's business) and Orange has somewhat peasanty roots (which do not need to be emphasized here, and orange needs an other suit to accompany it, as it is "the better suit").
So a lot of bids and some asks have been placed. Next month we will concentrate on checking whether to buy more productive assets (mainly pig/s) in advance of the slaugher round. Only the capital committed earns interest, dividend or profit, the capital in the monereto balance does not.
The final thing Martti hears is that 10 new player characters have started since last check, and all their initial items are now given to them!
