Marvolo

i am ALL for allowing marvolo some way to gain better weather stuff, he IS the weather man after all

Maybe more advanced weather manipulators(like marvolo) could get that ability to manipulate weather immediately

I think the fight was pretty good but I would have liked to see one detail different:
(I sent my 1g to Ledah)

Here's the Gazebo of Equilibrium.
Lego really is not made to make pentagons. proportions are a bit off but it's the best I could do.

Any recommendations for the next one?

My snail also needs 24 feeds to go from form 1 to form 2.
I think it's fine. the feeding is the fun, once it's grown, what am I going to do? I'd say longer is better. but keep the 2 days between feeds.
MD has never been about quick progress.

But, --maybe-- more, less impactful form changes. So you can have some sort of progression? But the end result should be far far away.

I had some more fun with digital LEGO.
Here's my take on the Drachorn hatchling.

7/24 feeds for next level. It better be a good evolution.....

For public record and because we think it was cool!

I would like to give a wishpoint for creativity.
Normally I would just do it but as not a GM I would like to ask @Muratus del Mur if is this permitted?

I think a tax per sold item could be problematic for the smaller sales like a common item for some silvers.
Maybe a monthly fee to use the auction at all? Either as a seller, buyer or both?

Other ways to get gold out of the system could be an NPC which gives a random common item for some silver? Lots of items are going into forge so they will also dissapear into the forge eventually.
Or
Maybe something like a stack splitter could be bought with gold? Also useful for the forge.
There's plenty of ways to get gold out of the system, we should probably ask a wider question ad opposed to focussing on auction taxes.

I made a Drachorn too—out of a bath towel! 😄 No idea if anyone has made one like this before!
Now, let’s see if I can work out how to attach the photos…

Lately I've been playing around a bit with Lego (digitally). it used to be my go-to toy when I was a child, but I recently re-discovered it after I found out I can make stuff digitally.
If anyone is interested in the file, let me know and I will send it over.

Here's the Howling Gates:

Let's look at the mechanics of the Auction House plainly... from the perspective of those who actually manufacture and sell goods, rather than just those who buy them.
The Real Pros of the Auction House
1. Asynchronous trade. Matches buyers and sellers across incompatible time zones without requiring both to stand at the Gazebo for six hours.
2. Liquidity & Fair Value. Public exposure allows natural market competition to determine the price of rare items.
3. Transaction security. Eliminates courier trust issues, multi-step trades, and escrow scams.
The Real Cons of the Auction House
1. Zero bulk trade support. Moving 40 candies, 20 pickles, or resource crates one lot at a time is completely unviable.
2. Escrow paralysis. Currency and assets are locked in limbo for days during active Sudden Death 12 hour bidding cycles.
3. Zero trade discretion. No blacklist or privacy options to prevent bad faith bidders from tying up your lots.
4. Information exposure. Public ledgers expose merchant margins, inventory volumes, and supply lines to competitors.

Regarding the Proposed Tax:
A Transfer is Not a Coin Sink:
@Chewett claims this tax is meant to "remove coin from the market." Yet the proposal states the tax is paid directly to the Treasure Keepers.
Funneling gold into the pockets of a player role is not a currency sink... it is an automated tithe. A true coin sink removes it from the realm outright (IE the Pickle Man or Willows Shop).
Furthermore, the Treasure Keepers exist to handle realm events and distributions. When they need backing for official events, quests, or holiday rewards, they are already directly funded by other more reliable sources. They do not need, and should not have, an automated commission siphoned off everyday player commerce. Paying a player role for an automated script they don't even operate makes zero sense.
The Only Logical Destination would be Sovereign Land Treasuries.
If an automated convenience tax must be implemented, it should serve the geopolitical reality of the realm, not a player role.
Route the tax directly into the Land Treasury of the citizen paying it.
- If a Golemian conducts the transaction, the tax goes to the Golemus Golemicarum Treasury.
- If a Marind Bellian conducts the transaction, it goes to Marind Bell.
- If an Easterner conducts the transaction, it goes to the Lands of the East. Etc and so on.
And if you need to make new treasury's, make them. A lack of capitol or Treasury is no excuse.
This solves multiple long standing issues simultaneously. it actively funds the Lands and the theorized building expansions we've talked about sparsely over the years, provides rulers with resources to finance land projects and citizen initiatives, and ties economic productivity directly to land allegiance. It turns an annoying administrative fee into meaningful factional fuel.
The Producer's Reality.
Else pointed out that 1,615 Gold moved through the house in 30 days. A 10% tax would have extracted 161 Gold in a single month.
Chewett admitted he accounted for a third of that purchasing volume (~538 Gold). If this tax is implemented on the sellers, high tier producers and bulk craftsmen will simply close their stalls. We will walk off the auction floor and take our high value trade back to private, direct exchanges where there is no 10% penalty. The Auction House will become an abandoned lot hosting nothing but sub 10 silver scraps.
If buyers want the convenience of an automated matchmaker and are willing to pay a premium for it, make it a buyer's surcharge that funds their homeland's Treasury. But do not tax the producers to subsidize an administrative role that is already backed by the System of the Realm.
I'm still against this tax overall. But if you feel a need to implement it regardless, that is the only form I would accept.

Fixed it!

55USD worth of blocks in case anyone wants to make it :D
