Adera says, "I keep saying this is the year of the Trader, and I mean it."
Adera says, "If any of you have been around long enough with me, I never tell anything till I know for sure, and I do like springing stuff on you."
You say, "Oh I have a request..."
Adera says, "We have more than one thing coming this year that is awesome."
You ask, "Could we have a trader only alterer some day during one of the socials to alter ledgers or their cases again?"
Rajara says, "For ledgers.."
Amaranta says, "That'd be nice."
Adera says, "I would like that, unfortunately, I work Wednesday nights usually."
Adera says, "And Sunday nights."
Rajara says, "I don't mind moving a social."
Deaglan says, "So tell Rajara to get on movin the social."
Deaglan says to Rajara, "Any day is good for me. My mind is retired."
Adera says, "I have most Monday and Friday nights free after 8 pm est."
Rajara says, "I did! For a whole cycle.. I was really confused."
Rajara nods to Adera.
Rajara says, "If you want to pick one of your freest times I can move that day."
Adera says, "I'm now the official ledger and feedbag alterer."
Adera says, "My first thing I designed, the pack and feedbag."
Adera says, "Thanks for the food ideas, by the way."
Rajara says, "Its like pulling teeth sometimes but they come up with great things."
Adera says, "And I want to give a real big shout out for Sortny and her market week this week."
Adera says, "It's an enourmas task."
Rajara says, "Yes it is! And she does em on such a regular basis."
Adera exclaims, "But this is a whole week!"
You say, "But it is fun seeing what people buy."
Rajara says, "Yellow."
Adera says, "I love listening to them complain at the colors."
You say, "Gridaksma had me embroider an item this morning."
You say, "Good thing I got bobbins from Magma Falls."
Rajara asks, "Whats that random shop area at the docks again?"
You say, "He is diabolical."
You ask, "Harbor ships?"
Adera asks, "Iliya Taipa?"
Rajara says, "Maybe they could throw in a few there."
You say, "Ilaya Taipa."
You say, "I think some people are hording their money thinking there will be a merchant that'll sell things."
You say, "For the ball."
You say, "I told them nae to hold their breath."
Amaranta says, "I've heard a couple people saying that."
Adera says, "I asked, but I doubt we'll see a merchant at this late date."
Rajara asks, "Does anyone have anything else they'd like to bring up? Questions or comments for me or Adera?"
Adera says, "There usually is."
Adera says, "Yeah, I thought I was going to be bombarded."
Rajara says, "Yea it was a much smaller turnout than I had hoped for."
Adera says, "So I got all my, "not sure, maybe and I can't says' in order."
You say, "We oldsters know better."
Balkinar says, "I think most of us know better than to ask thaose questions."
Rajara says, "We're just happy you could find time to join us."
Adera grins.
You say, "I hear the commodities are coming a long a bit faster than I expected."
Balkinar says, "Good."
You say, "I did nae think we would see them for at least a few more years it is a huge system."
Adera says, "They have been waylaid by some pretty awesome projects this last month, but it's not a long time this time."
Adera says, "But the system is really coming along."
You say, "Good."
Rajara asks, "Any lil tidbits ya wanna let us know?"
You say, "I was hoping to get some inside scoop on it this past simucon."
Adera says, "And I've built the pits...and there were a lot of them, if that gives you a clue."
You ask, "Oh are the almanacs a dead project or is that in the future too?"
Adera says, "That's still in the future."
You say, "I know someone proposed it long time ago."
You say, "That'll be fun."
Adera says, "It's Arnimas's baby, so I don't want to put it out for anyone else to code up."
You say, "Poor guy."
Adera says, "But he's doing commodities and that other big thing."
You say, "I bet he's probably cross by now working on commods."
You say, "I know I'd be."
Adera says, "I can say for certain that we'll be releasing that other big thing within the next three months."
You say, "Great."
Rajara asks, "I know this estate holder fest it prolly won't happen.. but will they look into doing like they did with the Merelew one, having traders bring delivers?"
Adera says, "And the other GM told me the other day that the other other big thing is almost ready."
Rajara exclaims, "Yay!"
Adera nods to Rajara.
You ask, "Yer just yanking our chain now right?"
Adera says, "We're fixing that script."
Adera shakes her head at you.
You say, "Ohh."
Adera says, "Nope, I know for sure the other big thing is coming."
You ask, "Hmm oh did Solomon relay that question I had from simucon to ye?"
Adera says, "And I trust the other other big thing is."
Adera shakes her head at you.
You say, "About getting message when we deliver a contract after 20 minutes."
Adera asks, "Nope, what was it?"
You say, "Having that extended or redone."
You say, "So we do nae get those messages until we are really really really late."
You say, "Like half the time on the contract is gone."
Adera says, "I'm honestly not sure how that works. If it can be done by the increment of time of each contract, that shouldn't be a problem. If it's just set for 20 minutes that would be more of an issue."
Adera says, "But I can ask."
You say, "Thank ye."
Rajara asks, "Will they really be opening up the market for stealing?"
Rajara peers quizzically at Adera.
Adera says, "Nope."
You say, "Because it fosters a negative aspect."
Rajara says, "Ok good."
Rajara says, "I heard rumors, it scared me."
You say, "Oh that's a relief."
You say, "So did I."
Adera says, "I haven't heard any rumors of that."
Bovi says, "Theres hired guards on post, should be near impossible."
Adera says, "And no one has approached me GM side about it."
Rajara says, "Well solomon mentioned opening up non stealing areas."
You say, "Non-protected areas."
Adera says, "Oh, yeah, there's a lot of that. But there are some places that will stay."
You say, "I said that wrong."
Rajara says, "I had another question and as usually blanked my mind."
Rajara frowns.
You say, "I meant safe zones."
Adera nods to you.
You say, "Well, I do have a question."
Adera says, "We're going through the areas one by one cleaning them up."
Rajara exclaims, "Oh!"
You ask, "Do ye think that my market days foster trader togetherness?"
You say, "Togetherness being more like association."
Adera says, "I see more of it during times like this week for sure."
You ask, "Or do ye think it alienates it?"
You say, "Ah good."
Rajara says, "Its just had to bring traders togeher time wise I think."
Rajara says, "Used to doing their own things."
You say, "Like to know i'm doing something positive for the guild."
Adera says, "Honestly, you've got the traders that just need the boost to get together."
Adera says, "And you have the ones that just want to script so aren't going to want you fostering that."
You say, "True."
Rajara says, "Traders do seem to not normally be peoples mains."
Adera says, "And if they alienate you, report them for AFK and move on to the next table."
Rajara says, "I remembered my question."
You say, "My problem now is that I can nae contact all of the traders all the time."
Adera says, "But I do the balls and the market days for that reason."
Rajara says, "We need a board in the trader guild."
Adera says, "And appreciate all the hard work you put into it."
Rajara says, "Since people don't read the other ones."
You say, "I had to work on my inventory, holy cow."
You say, "I still need to work on it a bit more too."
You say, "For the weekend."
You say, "Get all the wedding stuff out, toys, and kiss and divorce roses."
Rajara says, "Need easier ways to go thru all the stuff on my helpers."
Rajara says, "Oh there were so many requests for those before."
Rajara says, "Put em out more."
You say, "Yea the inventory contraints are nae helping."
Rajara says, "Yea we thought someone had something against us on this last one that came out."
You say, "I went over inventory three times."
You say, "Had to go back and thin it out."
Rajara asks, "Is there any way for y'all to put a lil more information on the stall tickets about the time?"
You ask, "Such as?"
Rajara says, "I always get confused on those."
Rajara says, "Its such a long time and the time around here.. confuses me."
You say, "Well 30 minutes is an anlas."
Adera says, "We have some changes coming in the whole system. It's bulky and everyone hates it, GM and trader."
You say, "Oh dear."
You ask, "The stalls and tables?"
Adera says, "Market system."
Adera nods.
You say, "Ah."
Adera says, "And they are all really positive changes."
You say, "Be nice if we could change those tables to something else, I like to sort stuff by type."
You say, "Say on the hook is this on the pedestal is that, on the shelf is that."
Rajara says, "Need ways to put a box on a table and have our assitants put it out."
Rajara says, "That would be in our shop when the come out."
You say, "That'd be a neat trick."
Adera says, "I've got two new hirelings approved."
You say, "I know some people when they come to my tables ask for fashion advice."
You say, "Oh that's a thought."
You say, "Have a fashion consultant themed trader market day."
Rajara says, "Which merchant is that..."
Rajara says, "I still have vouchers."
Adera says, "Franke."
Rajara asks, "Oh whatever happened to the ocarina lady?"
Rajara says, "She never came back."
You say, "Yea I have her voucher too."
Rajara says, "She was sick she said but would be back soon after fest."
You say, "I'll have to drop her a note."
You say, "I have an ocarina that could use some love."
Adera says, "You can send that into dr-events and they'll put in for the alterer that does all kinds of stuff."
You say, "I have one for D'Or too."
Adera says, "I'm sorry, but I have to run. I need to eat a meal today before the mentor meeting tonight."
Bovi says, "Me too, ladies, Balkinar."
Adera says, "I would have been here faster if I could have."
Rajara says, "We enjoyed the time."
Adera exclaims, "But remember, YEAR OF THE TRADER!"
