Just a quick idea

What if players could lend other players money? Interest rates could be calculated by the player who's borrowings:

- Networth
- Cash
- Land
- Past repayment record
- Number of troops
- The lender could also have input on the interest rate to undercut other players

There's probably lots of problems with this (Firetooth already pointed out borrowing a lot at the end of a round would be an easily abusable feature, but there are lots of easy ways to overcome this)

If there was a way of doing this effectively then I think it would make things much more interesting, and possibly make Magpies more of an interesting race to play.

I haven't put a lot of thought into how this would be accomplished or how entirely it would work (if you can't already tell by the length of the post) but I'm sure there are many people who could do a better job than me.

Also on a sidenote, could the interest payed on loans from Cluny's become variable instead of fixed? It might be interesting if it was defined by other factors.

Any tips for this strange race?

Kind of a minor thing, but when you click on help whilst logged in it takes you to the old style red homepage, and it appears as if you aren't logged in anymore

When you click on any of the links on the left it takes you back to the ingame style (well I assume all of them do, I've only tried a few)

I think this is something important and big that really needs proper discussion on the forums, the market has been a hotly debated subject in the past forever but I don't think there's been a coherent discussion about it yet, just a couple of topics that were hijacked to talk about the market; so I think this should be that discussion.

Personally, I would hate to see the market go as I think Shadow suggested 'might' happen recently (I'm pretty sure you said it somewhere)

Yes the market has become something it shouldn't have, but getting rid of it would be a real shame, and would get rid of one of the few very variable aspects of playing, the market brings a lot to the table in a number of ways.

And while the market has become something it shouldn't have, instead of trying forcibly to change it back to what it should be (which would be incredibly difficult) I think it could be balanced as it is.

Bringing back market theft might be a start, the time lapse between purchasing the goods and getting the money make it nigh on impossible to do, and this means that leaders are even more OP in the sense that even though the 20% tax will hurt their holdings on the market, at least it is safe unless they're killed, or someone with hours to waste can be bothered to market theft them.

Bring back market thefts might also balance the game a bit more for indiers, with the new changes to sack, this would now be a possibility for them too. Besides which indiers could (can) use the market as a small storehouse type thing to increase their netcap.

Doing other simple things like reducing the percentage amount of food that can be sold on the market ( as far as I can tell it is substantially more than the percentage of troops that can be sold there ) would balance things further.

Me and Firetooth were also commenting on how often we check prices between mercs and the market, and I thought it might be useful to display your current merc prices at the top of the market, on maybe in a column of their own or something, just an idea.

I don't mean to sound full of myself either (as I always feel I do when I make topics like this) so please don't take this as me sounding that, I'm sure there are a lot of counter arguments to my suggestions.

I can't keep up with the spa room anymore, stupid busy life

On another note what's this blasty rubbish about a coup!? Unga promised the death of google if he succeeded, I don't care what his policies are but any man/woman with this intention MUST be a good person

Do you ever give up Kilk?

Looking forward to this being released, can't wait to use the new "social" tag

I had a weird dream about RWL last night

Does that mean I play too much and/or check and post on these forums too much??

WHY DO YOU LIE TO ME WITH YOUR ESTIMATED TIME REMAINING!

WHY!!!

All of these computer search algorithm whatever bots seem to be very interested in this topic:

http://www.redwallwarlords.com/forums/index.php?topic=6557.0

I swear every time I look at the "whose online" list, a guest will be printing that topic

Not sure if this can go in General discussion (it's kind of advertising) so I put it in here, please do not randomly spam this post

If any of you leave your PC on for hours and don't do anything with it, I think you should look at:
http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/

Basically it uses your PC's processing power to help compute solutions to big problems (Cancer, Global Warming, a long list of diseases etc.), to avoid my processor getting a bit hot I only put it on when I'm away, you can set it to use just 75% of your processing power (what I currently have mine on) although I'm sure people can figure that out for themselves

First Collapsing categories and now this!

The number of skiff racers in Turbo is really low (2 at the moment) and in REG too (only 4 atm)

Maybe you could make it so that the pool is automatically say 100 mil cash at the start of every race, or boost it in some other way to make it more tempting to players

Maybe you could also make it so that you could say "upgrade" your skiff for X amount of money to increase it's chances of winning?

On another note:

Current Jackpot: $2,074,384,853

7 tickets have been bought for the next drawing.
The last lottery number was #3,
which nobody had, increasing the jackpot by another $0!

Does the lottery amount have a limit? If so why, $2 bil doesn't seem like that much  :-\

Considering an email address with these guys:

What does everyone think?

I spend about 10-20 seconds looking for the "scout" entry in the menu on Turbo today . . . *facepalm*

I blame lack of sleep

A few seconds of valuable time reading this thread

*Chants* Peace Alliance Peace Alliance Peace Alliance!!!!!

Well you can't say I didn't try Shael  :D

Land Farm (Free Land) (#4)
Networth    $177,773
Land    17,898 Acres

land is worth way more than that . . . unless I'm missing something  :-\

I think this has been around for a while, but I thought it'd got fixed (or at least it didn't happen to me for ages) but again when I post something to the clan MOTD, clan rules or (occasionally forums) I get multiple slashes before an apostrophie or speech mark e.g.

Don\'t

and

/"Clan"

Just advertising the Marlfox clan on Turbo, a lot of the current members are members from the last round but we're looking for new members too

Anyone who wants to join just request an invite (and preferably send me a message too) everyone is welcome to join :-)
