Queen's Hamlet Co-op: New Store on the SLM
Business Announcements
Queen's Hamlet [G&S] Co-op has just opened a store on the SLM!
Mikhail has been hard at work getting everything packaged & posted. Though these consumable items are mainly intended for use with the Guardian de las Sombras [G&S] active-roleplay system some of them (like the sheep-skin rugs) make great props for your home.
These G&S active-roleplay items have been lovingly produced by our community of farmers & artisans living off the land of the Queens Hamlet in 18th century France.

Here's the current setup. I've added signs that indicate if table owner is online. Touch the sign to message that person and/or view their profile.

Merci beaucoup Una who is setting up a packing table in the kitchen area. She's setting it to lobster.
Thanks also to everyone for brainstorming this - we're moving right along!
Hatsuka, Una & I have agreed to act as contacts for our tables - so if you need to pack another type of seafood get in touch with one of us and we'll make the change. Remember it will take 30 minutes after the reset before it can be used.
I'll put up some signs in the kitchen area to remind people who the contacts are.
We could probably place one more table in the kitchen area if anyone is interested in providing one.
Thanks!

Many thanks to Hatsuka who purchased a table that is now located in the kitchen area next to the first one. It's currently set to tuna.

One thing I'm curious about is how much fishing is everyone doing? I know that people were doing tournaments like crazy (and winning too!) but has the excitement dropped off? Do we need a lot of packing or would two tables used over a week be enough?
QH Co-op: The News ~ May 1, 2017
QH News
Happy May Day!
What a beautiful & busy time of the year. Not only are we busy cleaning up after a long winter but there's so much new to do. As a bit of a celebration, a new QH Tree House has been added near the iron mine (and the new salt mine).
Please feel free to spend some time up in the tree tops.
There are a number of new activities related to the just-released perishable seafood. Yes, all food items caught with a fishing rod now come with a expiry date and must be either cooked or packaged before they spoil. Luckily this doesn't effect our old catches but here's what's different:
Basket Making: Baskets can be woven from rence using the Basketwork station. A new one is now available in the QH Co-op Market near the spinning wheel. Baskets can be used to store ore/salt from the new mines. They can also be used to pack seafood.
Box Making: Seven new boxes can be made with the Carpentry Workbench. See the Book of Boxes displayed on the wall near the bench for directions. These boxes can be used to pack seafood.
Scrap Wood Tip: Did you know that you can turn Verr Skins into scrap wood? Just load a skin into the Carpentry Workbench and out comes scrap wood. This can be very useful for those of us with lots of skins who need the scrap wood to make boxes. As this is an unofficial hack it may not continue to work but right now it's quite handy.
Salt Mining: There's a brand-new salt mine next to the old iron mine. You will need energy, a pickaxe and a basket (optional).
Seafood Packing Table : One new table has been added to the area behind the Office . Another may be added depending on our discussion in QH We Need a Seafood Packing Strategy! so please put your thinking-caps on and help us come up with a new packing system.
Old Mines: We're still working on emptying our old iron, copper & gold mines. We have until July. Once they're gone we will switch over to the new system.
The ripple effect of all of these changes is quite exciting. Right now I'm guessing there's a market for salt, baskets & boxes so anyone interested should start making & selling them. This also should see a boost in the need for wood (for boxes), iron (for nails for boxes), rence (for baskets), pickaxes, etc.
Too much fun! If you have any questions give me a shout.

Greetings Fellow Fishers!
G&S has recently added a new twist to the roleplay where any edible item caught with a fishing rod is now perishable and must therefore be preserved to prevent spoilage.
This change is going to have some very interesting implications for our roleplay!
Either you cook your catch before it's expiry date or you "pack" it which requires salt (from a salt mine), a container (basket or special box) and a packing table. This discussion will focus on the packing table(s) and how we might best work together for an optimum packing strategy.
There are seven types of seafood:
- Fish
- Salmon
- Tuna
- Eels
- Oysters
- Lobsters
- Seaweed
A packing table can preserve one type of seafood at a time. The type can only be changed by the owner of the table and it takes 30 minutes for the table to reset to the new type. This makes it a bit tricky to preserve your tournament catch before the seafood spoils unless you have seven tables operating at the same time. As this is a bit of an investment in both L$ and space for one person I was hoping we could come up with a joint solution to spread the load a bit.
The QH Co-op currently owns one packing table which is set to fish. I was thinking that the Co-op could purchase another table which would rotate the type each day (Monday=Salmon, Tuesday=Tuna, ... Sunday=Request Day).
Now if there are other individuals or groups that would like to get in on the action we could devise a better schedule. Ultimately if we had a total of seven tables there would be no worries about packing. Remember, anyone hosting a table would have to allow for group use and rezzing on their land as seafood, salt & containers have to be rezzed.
Questions? Ideas? Suggestions? Volunteers?
