this whole...situation

hello hello, blah blah, greetings.
Anyway

Someone I believe mentioned something about abidding by guild laws and
the such on all things. You, perhaps, Lavinia.

When it comes to smithing, there are no set pricelists. Smithing is a
free market, completely capitalist, controlled only by the cost of the
commodities. There WAS a pricelist, but most Diavlous just decided they
really didn't care, the Lorekeepers stopped paying attention when they
started fixing the things Lakessa's leadership did to them, and the
Justicars...well...There's a reason I like Calis, and his throwing out
half there laws is most likely it.

However you forest grubber don't exactly have anything monetary to put
into harvesing, save for maybe getting your knees dirty, which most of
you don't even do harvesting. Personally I'm in support of Morgain on
all of this, those prices are insane, protecting the forests with
overharvest...bull...you capitalize on the fact that you get them for
NOTHING, and sell hundreds at a time. The forests will be fine, believe
me...well...not the areas I blackened, but I'm sure they'll grow back in
five or ten years if they haven't already. You would all be just fine if
you sold all herbs between one gold and ten gold, your pockets would
still be lined, and you'd sell alot more.

Though it is rather amusing that the two councils have decided to
actually join on this. Personally I'd like to see the hunters raiding
Arboreal groves, the Celidon underpricing the Khandava and vica-versa,
but the world can't be as great as Stavenn.....which I believe we've
proven on multiple occassions.

The point of this is my wasting gold, and spitting in some faces.
Granted. Though I suppose there should be a point to all this useless
mudslinging.
I'm offering a personal outstretched arm to ANY Arboreal or Hunter who
would like to sell their herbs at lower prices. Through my shop, and
their name will NEVER be known to anyone but me. I'll sell at whatever
price you want, and you will keep all (yes that's 100%) of the proceeds.
The same goes of course for everything, only a shame I can't sell runes
in there...

Capitalism is inherent in Imperialism. The underselling of others is the
only way that an economy can flourish, and if it wasn't for the fighting
in the world, you tree huggers wouldn't have ANYTHING. Personally I
think you should all start worshipping Wrath and War and Death, because
that's what really causes your sales to flourish. The city of Stavenn is
great because of its history of being capitalist, underselling, and all
that. I mean, by Dis, I undersell all my surrounders in clothing, I make
almost nothing for each little thing that I sell, but believe me, I make
ALOT of money off it.
