Market and Service

Take that Corsair 101! When you have influence you get a GM's response without a mundane name.

Clint, if you had just said you didn't know how the market worked, your comment would not have been subject to misunderstanding. Sometimes when you beat around the bush you find a bear on the other side.

Can tell your feelings are hurt and I want to sooth them. Consider me as a hasty and ill mannered lout. Thank you for your time.

We've not had any complaints about the team or the handling of the game so
far in the ones we played in as a team. In game 16 I hung on as the NM and
eventually gave that game up (Arth as well) due to potential conflicts of
interest (GMvPlay) and Sam and I did not play in a 1000 game due to players
not being happy. Other than that the 15 or so other games we've played in
have been fine - we've won some and lost some. (My 1000 record is
particularly bad!) :slight_smile:

As for knowledge of the game we don't know what the market does. Note if
as player we work something out about the game then I think it fair to use
that information as players. If you don't want to play against us then
don't. There's lots of teams who do - we have two or 3 waiting or
interested as it stands! :slight_smile:

I am interested in if players think we should play - I have some other
opinions about why I think it's right and the what the dangers are but I
hope our record shows that we are trustworthy. (Part of the reason the g39
opposition did not get their response was because we are
trustworthy). Have you got any information which shows where we are not
Ovatha Easterlings?
