I am standing by for anyone who needs help. I am ready to reclaim all plots we had, however the only limitation right now is money. Point me at any problem that needs to be solved and I will do what I can.

Also, the outpost is completely moot right now. We have done our best to tear up and store away the gold roads, and most of the valuables o nthe tower, otherwise any old person could go there and grief it all, which would NOT be good. It looks like for now, the outpost is unserviceable, all priority is main town. If you had family there, we are sorry.

Forthwinders, watch out for mobs, stay frosty.

Hooray! I am on 3 of the lists!

When selling, it first compensates for the increase in whatever youre selling, THEN pays you the lesser amount. However, when buying, it first compensates for the decrease of the item, then gives it to you. Therefore, if I were to sell 1 diamond at 250, it would say "Buying 1 diamond at 300!"

But were i to sell at 250, it would say "Selling 1 diamond at 200!"
 
This is just an example, but you get the problem. Please either make them both sell THEN revalue or both revalue THEN sell, so that people can make at least something off stock market type trade. Otherwise you either lose tons or barely break even, it's really annoying, thank you.

I guess there would be a natural ceiling, you can always have more of something, but once you have nothing of something, you cant go any less. Although I guess if people wanted to screw with it and artificially raise dirt to 100 a block, there would have to be a ceiling to prevent it.

Oh boy. Any time anyone now has a fortune of items to sell the price will plummet, making whatever they sell worthless. E.g., if i have over 9000 wheats, (which i just may) and sell them all, they end up at 0 and i essentially just donated them to whoever wants them. Therefore, diversification is crucial. Normally, IRL, this is okay, but on minecraft, having a good amount and means of procuring good amounts of a plethora of items is only feasible for the largest entities. E.g., were i to sell only 500 of my wheat, then to sell 500 dirt, then 500 stone, etc. i could make a moderate sum. But I want to make a massive fortune, in the hundreds of thousands. Why is having extremely rich people such a bad thing if they took the initiative to build, say, a massive farm with a yield of roughly 12800 wheats per harvest? Mmm? That investment is now a waste, and for me to sell my over 9000 wheats i would have to do it over a long period of time, much slower than i can farm, resulting in my having a massive deficit of wheat. Conceivably, even with an extremely diversified portfolio this would be sure to happen, as to make any money one ahs to wait for the price to "cool down". Furthermore, the resulting massive stockpiles of common items such as wheat, dirt, and cobblestone will keep the price at almost 0, and will also result in people unwilling to sell these items for such  a low price, at least to the shop. Now, you have people forced to develop their own economy and a massive reversion to the chest shop system, or God forbid, the terribly slow and torturously small-scale practice of "how much for one stack" or whatever. Therefore, you just installed this shining microcosm for the world economy, only to have everyone bypassing it for their chest shops and sell-by-stack markets. Worthless.

Unless, this is of course what Joe wants: A player-driven, player-controlled and player-regulated economy, all springing up from nowhere, eventually rendering the plugin obsolete, freeing up space for bigger and better plugins and generally reducing lag.

Although I havent tried it out yet and stuff so I'm probably wrong. Anyway, yeah. theres my two cents.

And remember, just because the immediate spawn may look bare, does not mean that there are not some amazing spots to nestle a little cottage. Look around before choosing the ideal location!

But there are business opportunities too! The first two people to apply for a business plot will get a free plot directly adjacent to the spawn. This is obviously good for business, as it will be the fist thing new arrivals will see, loaded down with Noobz.

If you get this thing off the ground, would you be interested in joining RavenHelm?
We would love to have you.

I have a design. I know this isnt the place to submit, but its simple.

A red shirt, with "NoobsCraft", but in Russian. Like, backwards "R"s and "N"s, and then cross a golden pickaxe and a golden hoe to look like the Soviet Union symbol. I would buy four of those immediately.

I have a problem.
Why did you reduce the sell price of wheat in the shop down to 1?
People have economies based off of that stuff you know.
Could you please, like, change it back?
Or something?
Because that was the only thing you could make a decent living on in the shop.
Thank you.
Also, my farms are now WORTHLESS
So thanks for that as well.

Im buying mugs and reselling them at my store. It will popularize the server!
No, Im actually not, that would probably break several copyright laws or something. Also i have no store ;_;

Yay! Maybe for every thousand members everyone can get a diamond or something from now on! Initiative to recommend! Also, if we DO have more worlds in the future, as a suggestion, an asteroid world would be cool. Like, just clear out the end of all endermen and obby towers and the dragon, and implant ore in random places. Or something. And make a glass dome. It would be like the moon.

I submit my completely modular farm, which is built in the server, not far from the Forthwind Town Spawn. It is comprised of  X by 8 block fields, each sandwiched with a row of water for irrigation. It is simple, and the main thing:

Its best quality is its modularity and expandability. One can increase the number of tracks or just increase the length of existing ones. Furthermore, it can be built "up" in layers, almost infinitely. The only limit is the patience one has to farm it all.

Again, one has been built near the Forthwind Town Spawn, (follow the golden road to the residential section, youll know it when you see it). PLEASE REMEMBER, the one you see is just a prototype, and that design CAN BE EXPANDED CHEAPLY AND EFFICIENTLY TO INFINITY. I know, it is simple, but it is elegant and effective. To harvest, one just runs in a straight line while  holding down the mouse. Same with replanting. Alternatively, if you DO want to water harvest, one can just pour some water periodically. Or, it can be built in 7x8 "stairs", so that water will flow endlessly. However, this method requires more vertical space, and would be trickier to build/maintain.

Actually, we are just rebranding ourselves. We have more members now! We are now called SPECTRE, like from james bond. Really it stands for SPECial Tactics and REcon, but it can also stand for SPecial Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge, and Extortion. We are a mercenary group, and for a small fee you can hire us to defend your town in any wars (like one will ever happen), or you can hire us separately, as bodyguards, to protect you from mobs. You can even hire us to keep a whole area mob-free.

Mainly however, JOIN! You get free breads and things! And you get access to the awesome base we have!
Also, we will be building a spaceship, so theres that. I dont know, mainly were just changing our name. SPECTRE sounds better is all.
