Hoh, like we would use our precious gold like that? There is reason why Darka has so much gold... we dont spend it carelessly at all :)

There fixed that for you.

I dunno, I've been trying pretty hard to encourage people to put a bounty on my head... Every time I check the bounty board, I'm mildly upset.

isn't a 50 gold bounty already cool?

Bounties are mostly a waste of time and gold. You get people with 1500 gold bounties staying there for months if not years. Even if they get stabbed and seriously wounded it's unlikely they would even lose their position.

Pff. Recently I've been spending about 1k per week on RCs in Darka. We prefer to spend gold on things that matter and even then it just doesn't make a dent in what we have :)

I know Darka has like 15k siting around. Their Dukes can have a competition to see who they can get assassinated first.

Pft.  Abington had that much sitting around on a regular basis.  On a week's notice the Banker (who was also the Duchess of Suville, which helped) could pull together that much again for a major product.

Darka, I am fairly certain, has at least six figures, and I wouldn't be surprised if they had seven, hoarded up.

I have one? I've never seen it up there... Unless you can't see your own (you can't collect it, so why would it matter, I guess)?

I dunno, if I had an infil on Atamara, I'd totally go for bounties. It's always fun to bother someone even if it's just light... Plus, most of those guys with big bounties are pretty old now; a serious wound would put them under for a while (a fact I know on both my characters now). Then again, most of those high-placed bounties are there because they're hard to collect.

But i am sure (almost i can swear it) that most bounties are put for the nobles themselves.

It seems that a Bounty is the way to show off your Ego.





Peace!

O.o Tara v.s CE? That would be epic for sure! Better start saving up gold for that one...

In other news, Minas Leon is hosting about half of Tara's army potential. Didn't realize they were so important.

Nor did I realize you were allowing them passage to do so....

Minas Leon isn't covered by any treaty. Tara can operate only in a defensive capacity. Unless, of course, Ottar wants to attack and make many things very complicated for both himself and I.

EDIT: I mean, if I said no just because of the proximity to MI, it'd be like saying Tara can't go through Coria to reach the CE because it's too close to Eston.

I don't see the problem there.  ;D
