Title: Silver... Post by: Kas Valentine on April 19, 2011, 01:35:00 am I was reading this (http://www.uoforums.com/europa-rp-general/80384-europa-silver-currency.html) thread and wondered what our silver system is...? I noticed Nathaniel Hawk mentioned Cove in relation to it so I'm assuming we're using this method to some extent, just wondered in what way. I think its a marvellous idea and if we actually have a central power for the allocation of Covian silver I'd like to offer up the pile I have since I certainly don't use it. I will if you pay me it though ! ;D

However, as we're reworking a big part of our own envirement, we accept both currencies, gold and silver, as otherwise there would be too much of a change. However, if you pay another char something, may it be for an ale or a suit, we prefer it of course in silver, to get the whole system slowly floating. Title: Re: Silver...

Since Cove is in the process of reworking its own environment does that mean it'll be some time before guardsmen are paid in silver coins, or what...? If its a case of lacking the appropriate amount of silver I'm more than happy to give Command what I have (about nine thousand I think), whether it helps or not. I completely agree with the thread when it says the gold alternative makes the economy far more realistic, so the sooner we're crossing palms with silver the better. :) Title: Re: Silver... Post by: Alfred Bohr on April 20, 2011, 07:38:43 am Whereabouts would we get silver, anyway?... Probably sounds like a stupid question but please do find it in your heart ^_^
Also, as a side note, does this mean when the mongbats kill me, they'd be able to get half a pint of ale's worth? Title: Re: Silver... Post by: Kas Valentine on April 20, 2011, 10:51:44 am As I understand it silver would gradually work its way into the hands of guardsmen via payment for duties. As a result of this it would then work its way into the wider Covian community (and the roleplay community as a whole) via its use to pay for goods and services that you would normally use gold to pay for.
And for the record Alf, if a mongbat was lucky enough to best you in combat they would naturally become a hero to their kin. But that'll never happen, you're Alf, you cannot be killed. :D |
