Is this open for recruits or no? I'm willing to go with all the rule and I was hoping to join a rp that was similar to this a month or so back but it was discontinued before it started, so please get back to me at your earliest

I moved up the travel time to your diplomats to meet Defiant Shadow.

@@Derplight Sperkle, Defiant shadow is either in hibernation, or out of the roleplay completely at this point.@, Yup, we're open. Make sure you mention me in your submission so I can approve it.

He was travelling back from the missed diplomatic mission, so he could have been doing that 

[SharpWit 2,614]

@@Derplight Sperkle, Yeah but he stopped being active after making me the moderator. We had winter set in, and it's still spreading south which isolates Volund and the Wolven Empire, that way he could come back later if he wanted to. I'll check in with him though.

By the way everyone, directly east of Medias, and west of Cidonia, the land is not habitable due to volcanic activity. These places have no resources, and are guaranteed to kill anyone who ventures too far into them. You have been warned. Beyond that though is fine.

Lordav had you placed at around 28,38 which actually works out with Quinacta since you have access to both the southern sea which is north of you, and the southern most sea which allows you to turn north once you have sailed to the pole. I will post an image of your nation either tomorrow or thursday so you can get a better idea of what I'm talking about.

What are we using as money?

[Gloomfury 243]

Quinacta uses bits. Mostly because it's cheaper to make and to easy to handle. 

Edited May 1, 2015 by Gloomfury

[SharpWit 2,614]

@@Gloomfury,  Ah yes, because solid gold coins are so cheap, and don't weigh down the consumer's pockets. lol

 

@, If you have a question, you need to either mention or message.

 

We haven't discussed money all that much. We've really just dealt with money in mass amounts of gold. Abendstern uses a silver coin called a crescent, and I think we're the only one to establish our own currency. You may create one unique to your nation by choosing the material the currency is made of and what shape/form, or bank notes, and figure out it's worth compared to others, or use the same if it's not unique, like the bit, or make it different but equal. For example,,,

 

1 Equestrian Bit = 4 Abendstern Crescents

1 Abendstern Crescent = 0.25 Equestrian bits

[Lordav 3,427]

@SharpWit

 

Watcha mean... I mentioned mine too. It the pistole (french accent). Based on the british pound.

 

1 pistole = 6.57 Equestrian bits

1 Equestrian bit = 0.15 pistoles

 

That means that all salraies are in quite small numbers, they are golden coins.

 

Also i am thinking of a name for the smaller value...

Bits aren't made of gold, they just look like it.  They're probable made from other kinds of metal that look the same, like brass.

The Wiki page says that they are made of Gold or Silver but the use of silver is only in one instance. There is someone who makes bits out of bronze and has them gold plated but those are only home/fan made. Edited May 3, 2015 by SharpWit
