Comment on The Economics of Pretend Pirates by player

Interesting article, altough really basic.

You are right, the doublon exchange is working right, but I really think it’s a thing that can slipped off Three Rings hands at any moment. Right now, noone has done it yet, but it is very easy to cause a massive inflation in the doublon price, causing the players not buying dubs to make the game imposible to advance.

It is very cheap to create an inflation in a new ocean, much more difficult and expensive in a well developed ocean, but it is posible. You remember about the petrol barrel going upper than 100$? It only needed 1 man to get there. Well, this is the same case. I wonder if Three Rings has had that in mind, and if they already have a plan in case this some day happens.

Comment on Theology Thought for the Day by s-p

I believe this is the rationale for the death penalty in Genesis 9:6 and fulfilled in the theology of the icon: Man created in God’s image, a desecration of the image passes to God.
