Winter is here!! Will you be watching?
ETA: Just in case you are interested in historical context The Real People That Inspired Game of Thrones.
just shoot me
Abbondio
… pats Jacon on the shoulder and hands him a glass of excellent Queen's Hamlet wine ...
What I see possible is to purchase product from QH G&S at our trading company then we convert that to our system. The hard part is to reverse that.
I like the idea of a trading company! An idea for selling things back; the new G&S wine & spirits actually give energy. A healer could buy the liquor from us and repackage it into healing elixirs. I'd buy some of those potions. We'll have to keep thinking of other ways to circulate products.
Both comments go right to my heart 
I'm a huge fan of The Sims Game too. Also had some of your work Tatiana :D
Nothing could be better than another The Sims fan and I'm tickled to find out that you had some of my stuff. It's a small world
The idea of using perfume is much more appealing to me than those Sim showers were. As I say, I cheated so that I never had to use them. Of course you make an excellent point that that this is all to encourage RP.
However, I do seem to be eating apples at a great rate
Inspired by Tiamat's comment, I've started a new discussion Historical RP: What's your daily diet? Both because I've always been curious about the subject and because nourishment is such a big part of a RP.
ETA: This comment also reminded me of February 15, 1533 – Anne Boleyn Has “A Furious Desire to Eat Apples” .
Well - mostly apples on the run for me, thanks to the fruit trees my lord of Rochefort has been sprinking around the Antiquity sims. <<snip>>
It was your mention of the apples that inspired this thread, Tiamat! The integrated banquets sound wonderful, especially with the historical slant. You'll have to tell me how the "Spotted Dick" turns out
Food ... it's a complex subject.
I thought it would be fun to take a look at the daily diets of Historical RPers and the thinking behind their consumption (or lack of it). So tell me, what do you eat? Are you eating for energy, pleasure, or both? Do you have a strategy behind your daily menu? How does your daily bread fit in with your RP background? Do you toil to produce splendid meals for others while eating cheese at home? So many questions!
I've always been curious about the RP diets of others so please share your food secrets
Glad to see you took a bit of time away from the forge, Arhrhys! We've still got a few weeks to go so hopefully we all will have more leisure time
Many thanks for this, Abbondio.
It's great to see everything laid out in such an orderly fashion. It's interesting how it looks quite simple when everything is listed while the actual implementation of the production chains can be a bit challenging, especially when you're just getting started.
I think it's brilliant how Sombra keeps expanding on the base elements because the more complex the entire system, the more we are forced to interact & trade with others. If you want to dabble in more than one area you're definitely going to need assistance.
Right now G&S pricing is all over the map and I am forced to keep two sets of books, one for OOC trade and the other for Historical RP in an effort to reach your "realistic economic balance".
Mining & the production of coffee (Black wine) are interesting because of the limited resources you get from your L$ investment. Essentially you have to continually write off the L$ expenses which tends to skew my thinking of the value of these items. It's hard, for me anyway, to accept coins for something that you have to dole out real cash for
I must admit that I am not a great fan of inworld economies - I come to SL to escape from things like worrying about what to do about supper!
I can agree that we each have our own limits, Tiamat. I have very found memories of playing TheSims2 but I just hated the hygiene requirements. Who has a time for a bath when there are worlds to conquer! In any case, I soon learned how to cheat my way out of that
… waves hello to Jacon. It's a pleasure to see you here!
It's worth repeating my congratulations to you and Louis for tackling a system of such scope. Exciting times for certain!
I'm very interested in the cross-trade you developed with Pirates Destiny. Would it be possible for you to also include items from the G&S system? Perhaps a limited set? Thanks to Abbondio's On Produce & Trade (from notes on a G&S Economy) we have a great list to work from. If we could find something that you're not producing (or won't be for some time) we could focus in on that.
I'm also wondering if you have included any medicinal items (which are sorely lacking in G&S) at the moment?
Sixteen points it is, Abbondio! Sorry about the firewood. I can relate
