I think you just explained the problem. You get a very small return on your investment when donating to a chapter, but if you sell your item for a few silver IG, people will pay it no problem, giving you a MUCH better return. Why wouldn't you get the most return on your OOG buck? It's just...

You may tell a person "according to logistics that brownie is worth 2 copper pieces. However they will continue selling it for several silver. Telling them "I don't value it that high" is all well and good. But they are still charging the high price, and you still will have to pay it if you...

Do it! It's a great way to drum up cash. Players will love your food, and you will be donating your time and OOG dollars to make everybody's game better. Charge what they're willing to pay. Prices skyrocket on hot summer days! I mean it too... being a merchant and making food can be hard...

Exactly... almost all of the great area is around because Theft is around. Funny that, people stealing things creates problems. Yes I know it's part of the game, I've done it, it can be fun, but that doesn't change the fact that it can create real problems. I just don't understand this "lets...

First... it's not only something that can be done, it sadly is being done. I realized as I typed it my PC does it. I'd been freely giving away tea for quite some time, but a new tavern keeper is in my town who also sells tea. They possibly sell a different sort of tea then the free tea that I...

Right, so you're saying people should print their own tags, but still require them to pay logistics to get the item into the game? Still sounds like a logistics hassle, as they have to confirm these player printed tags somehow, requiring a signature or stamp at least, on each tag, to denote it...

The problem with your above described system is this: You place no limits on someone like me who does not intend to "sell" the treat... but heavily limit someone who does. I can severely damage an opponents market by giving away an item for free that they charge for. Undercutting the value of...

It needs to be handled on a chapter level not a national level. And here's why: Chapter setting A) Represents a town or a place where people are "dug in" and have "stuff" off stage that can not be easily repped. (Access to their family bakery for example) so it makes sense that, well if you...

It is a shame if people feel boned. but the compromise our game is built on I talk about here will always lead to that feeling, for those who think they should be able to steal whatever is currently listed as "out of bounds". This always leads to some amount of "well he just spent x dollars at...

I don't want my food getting stolen because people think it's for sale when it's not. This will happen, to someone somewhere. And saying oops isn't cool... Real theft is not cool. Unlike stealing a sword, you can't return a plate of brownies once you and your friends accidently eat it. Keep...

As a fat person who enjoys knowing his brownies are safe, I'd rather you not be able to. I need SOMETHING to cry into in case you take everything else I have. :cool:

So I went back to the original post, and it helps frame more of the conversation (as it wandered a bit). I would agree with the above (if it's there, IG, it's able to be stolen)... I would be comfortable with this ONLY if we removed all non-game-items from the game. You start the game with...

So if all food brought to game MUST be paid for at logistics and become IG stealable, that will discourage some people from doing it. Others may suddenly NOT be able to even bring food to events. If I bring 40 sodas to an event but have to pay a 4 gold "game tax" (1 silver per) to logistics...

In response to the notion of ""disallow the sale of non-game items/services for coin (or other in-game benefits)." This then gets into the very murky area of: How do you define "non game services" services? Clearly you want to disallow "will massage for coin" and allow "will trade protective...

I don't see it as an IG item ever. You gave me a coin. I happened to also give you this piece of non-game property. Yes they are related but they don't have to be. You can steal game property. Items have item numbers carved into them or affixed to them to help denote they are stealable...

Mike, in your case I don't see you as stealing the food, I see you stealing the coin from a poorly guarded location. If somebody is selling untagged items from a table, (be it food, baubles, or whatever) I'm not cool with people palming the item without paying... pay the person for the thing...

Actually with the tag your brownies ruling. If I had a tagged brownie, and you stole it. I'd let you keep the tag, but would kindly ask for my brownie rep back. Food is an OOG thing, and stealing it is not cool. If certain players allow some of their food to be "open season / stealable" go...

I will make sure I bring my bow rep for you.

Just wondering... who's planning on going. I know I will be there! :)
