Food Purchase Expiries?
« Topic Start: June 01, 2012, 10:52:31 PM »
On the purchase orders there is an expiry date. When the orders expire, the money would be returned in bonds? And if one had changed lordships, realms or become rogue, would the bonds still return to the noble who placed the purchase order?

Nope. Before I became the Prime Minister of Sirion, I posted 4 buy orders but after 3 weeks, I still haven't received my 40 bonds back.

it should return to the person who placed it, in bonds, i would think, given all the offers mention a name, rather than a position

no idea about realm switching /rogue bit though... you could imagine an exploit where someone getting banned stump up ridiculous offers to "hide" all their bonds...

It wouldn't help--they can't use the bank.

Perhaps they were filled?

they don't need the bank. they flip realm and get to keep the bonds essentially...  <- won't help the going rogue bit.. if they get the bonds back after going rogue.

If that is the case, maybe have it give gold to rogues, or allow those bonds to be cashed in the realm the offer was created in?

If the noble who posted the bonds is no longer part of the same realm, the realm should confiscate the bonds. That way the trade system can't be used as some form of risk free money transfer system. It also makes things consistent with the way bonds already work.
If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving.

I posted 3 x 1000 bushels sell offer. None of them were sold, and only 1000 came back to me...

And the other two are no longer shown when you look at your Marketplace?
The above is accurate 25% of the time, truthful 50% of the time, and facetious 100% of the time.

Market report shows 3 offers that have 1 day remaining. I'll tell you in...20-30 minutes if they expire or not.

UPDATE: the food offers have expired and returned to the granaries.

Indeed, Though it took them like 28 days.

Any idea why this would happen?

Also, is there a means to cancel offers? Neither me (who isn't in Paisly) nor my steward (who is in Paisly) found one.

Thank god for the timing, though, my granaries were running out.

I can cancel my own offers. Maybe it's because I'm both lord and trader?
