On it boss!

Also I think the base price should be the market price without the deductions of my fantastic trading skillz!

So 6750 (The guys don´t know we got it for cheaper) +12 % (failed market price evaluation) +15 % random factor +10 % bartering

That way I would come out at 9563,4 - 0,5 % tax = 478,17

9084,83 gc - investment

3884,83 profits.
Profit for Max = 1118,83
Profit for cannon = 823,58
Profit for Mortus = 823,58
Profit for Julian = 745,89
Profit for Klaus = 372,94

With the 1766 as profits
profit for max = 508,61
profit for cannon = 370,86
profit for mortus =370,86
profit for julian =339,07
profit for Klaus = 169,54

Damn, so it should! I always get something wrong. You have the tax wrong though, surely! 0.5%, not 5%.

OK, I make the net profit 4334 crowns.

I rounded the numbers to the nearest crown at each step of the calculation, intentionally.

Also, I find the European habit of using a comma as a decimal point very confusing!

Amazing how much money we could make just shipping up and down the Reik!

Profit for Max = 1248,19
Profit for cannon = 918,81
Profit for Mortus = 918,81
Profit for Julian = 832,13
Profit for Klaus = 416,06

Well on the other hand we were EXTREMELY lucky go the stuff at the cheapest possible value and also sold it with a fantastic roll.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #2203 on:** August 14, 2012, 02:16:05 PM »

Right, it could easily go wrong next time!

I think the cost of the engine and supplies should be split between everyone.

Finlay · « **Reply #2204 on:** August 14, 2012, 02:32:21 PM »

So add 832.19 to julian’s money.

Thanks Klaus!

Surely we should keep trading though.

Yes, of course! I don't think it can go disastrously wrong unless you lose the cargo.

like we run into a giant squid that sinks the boat, or river pirates or something

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #2207 on:** August 15, 2012, 08:04:23 AM »

I was thinking of squid pirates actually.

OK, new cargo and then onward! Heinrich has been quiet for a while...

He has been swamped at work and at home. You guys are doing great with me on autopilot. I don't want to ruin it with hasty updates.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #2209 on:** August 15, 2012, 08:17:47 AM »

He IS the quiet type of guy.

Squid pirates will be shot on sight!

Klaus will stay in his cabin he still feels bad about the party....terrible women. I just hope Ava might be useful at some point in the future, for example supporting my claim of being a noble.

commandant · « **Reply #2210 on:** August 15, 2012, 08:21:19 AM »

Somehow I doubt Klaus knows her that well, or left that great an impression. Mind you I could be wrong. Maybe disappearing acts and attempting to ignore them at dances is what girls like

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #2211 on:** August 15, 2012, 08:27:26 AM »

He makes himself rare

Spoiled young princesses love that and prefer it over lickspittles....so I have heard.

More pressing matters as Max is rather happy around you I will wait but that fellow has to file through my nobility papers and file my claim so hurry up.

Ah, I thought it might be that. OK then - but feel free to jump in whenever you can!

Since he's a lawyer now (well, sort of... no law skill, and no guild membership so he's not actually allowed to practice), Klaus should be paying him huge sums of money to waste time and shuffle bits of paper around.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #2213 on:** August 15, 2012, 10:29:23 AM »

I think I rather guilt him into doing it for free...or even hand me over money for it.

Damn smart Billy he already makes me feel bad. It is rather hard for me to keep Klaus in the role of a cowardly egoist, it is easy to become the likeable rogue that befriends everyone around him and plays the lute at the bonfire in the late hours.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #2214 on:** August 15, 2012, 10:35:17 AM »

Billy doesn't like people who mistreat those smaller than them! He might decide Max is an honorary halfling and get the Quinsberry Lodge onto Klaus!

I like Klaus being mean! But maybe he should make sure he's only mean to Max when no one else is around.

Finlay · « **Reply #2215 on:** August 15, 2012, 10:42:31 AM »

Julian does not take kindly to Klaus not only being mean to max but ripping him off! He considers Klaus and Max his friends and thinks ripping off your friends is the worst thing ever.

He's willing to give Klaus the benefit of the doubt still due to being a friend to dwarfs and all the other good and brave actions he has seen from Klaus, but he wont like it at all if you keep being a twat openly!

I think Max is perfect to help you play Klaus as unlovable, because he can have this outward demeanour of niceness when he needs to, yet abuse max when in private. Like domestic abuse!

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #2216 on:** August 15, 2012, 10:44:28 AM »

Got point!

Time to collect Karma points as soon as possible then. On the other Hand Klaus WAS spending all his time taking care of business and spying on the cult......spying on the cult while partying hard.

commandant · « **Reply #2217 on:** August 15, 2012, 12:55:32 PM »

By the way what interest are you paying Max his loan back at. Mortus might insist that the principle and interest be paid in full when the cargo is sold. I think 33% is not an unreasonable rate.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #2218 on:** August 15, 2012, 01:03:48 PM »

I think I DO have to charge you guys after all, I will pay whatever Max sees as reasonable

Finlay · « **Reply #2219 on:** August 15, 2012, 01:05:19 PM »

I think 33% is ridiculous, and Max certainly would lend klaus for free.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #2220 on:** August 15, 2012, 01:06:39 PM »

Party infight! I blame the Changer of the ways.

Quick we should check each other for mutations.

Finlay · « **Reply #2221 on:** August 15, 2012, 01:15:38 PM »

Klaus could reasonably claim a commission on profits, as we are using his Fel and his luck re rolls. He could be taking half of the increased profits from his skills.
Plus he paid for supplies

Mortus could claim a share back from joining the merchant guild to lower taxes.

Julian paid for engine. And could claim he helps to speed the trading, and as we all know time is money so he deserves an increased share.

Really it’s easiest if we do split it evenly, and surely “the party” in general would be happy with that?

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #2222 on:** August 15, 2012, 01:17:33 PM »

I think we should pay Julian for the engine with the rest I am more than fine.....Klaus wants just some love for making all of you rich beyond your wildest dreams.

Finlay · « **Reply #2223 on:** August 15, 2012, 01:21:55 PM »

Julian doesn’t mind paying for the engine (now that he has enough money to trade again!). He wants to keep it when we’re done. It only becomes a problem if other people start whining about money, then he has that card to play!

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #2224 on:** August 15, 2012, 02:08:36 PM »

Regarding the trading, I was imagining the entire group being involved in the buying and selling process. But Klaus's Fel gets used because it's highest (and he has luck too). So he's not doing it all on his own!

Quote from: commandant on August 15, 2012, 12:55:32 PM

33% is usury, and surely illegal and immoral!

Max won't want any interest paid, and won't even want Klaus to pay him back!
