He'd be crying like hell, and certainly in a worse mental state than Prythe is.
What if Prythe had sold the shop to a rogue or eleusian for 2k credits, but in 10 ic years time this instance happened? We’d be right here, except behind someone who definitely endured a torrential investment loss. 2k is a lot to pay for a shop, absolute agree, but now potentially city shops are going to sink in value, and only further still. Is this the city’s problem? Nope, but players who suddenly have to wear a severe drop in their investment value, and players won’t need to buy as many cr from ire to buy shops.
This basically makes city shops too immense of a risk, while delos shops now will rise in value. Is that fair? That comes down to your view on the ethics of the situation, however, this will make people less inclined to bother with shops in Targ, and overall hurt the market to buy/use shops in cities in general, making it risky, again, to sell anything but the mass-consumed. Mercantile didn’t need a resounding kick in the teeth, but if people are fine with the situation, I suppose that will determine the outcome in general to this situation.
Also bringing @Achilles back into the fold from the other thread...
It seems like since there was an offer for 1250cr that eventually fell through there is the potential at least for the possibility of selling shops for 1000cr given enough persistence in advertising....
I mean, not anymore after this though...who in their right mind would own a shop in Targossas now?
...lol
@Minifie, this is like the third or fourth serious post I've seen from you in a row....are...are you okay?
Baha, nevermind...you got a troll post in before I could hit submit
This is Liliana's shop. In Hashan.
Don't worry, Liliana has 3 shops in Cyrene to keep her company.
And I'm not bitter, nor an old man. I'm actually quite friendly and understanding in game, and in rl. But on this particular subject, I have no issue being a dick to those that believe they are deserving of anything off a outdated contract, or in any aspect that falls under city management.
This might be the most boomer thing I say today, but no one is entitled to shit, regardless of "money spent". She's lucky she got what she got.
Enjoy your day.
I've gotta beach to go rest on.
That's fine, just admit it though, I'm also a jerk. Would you like me to be a jerk to your dick?
Or is that only the discord these days?
It's also not a dick to fight for city rights, to maintain thier right to reposses and claim that any location in any city is subject to such.
After all, next thing we know we'll have people crying about how they own thier house hall, because it got free credits from the money they spent.
Enjoy your day at the beach, and remember social distancing: Stay at least 300 feet away from your fellows!
Neutral shop locations should be a thing.
Not sure how you'd alter factionalized shops though.
Aegis, God of War says, "You are dismissed from My demense, Astarod. Go forth and fight well. Bleed fiercely, and climb the purpose you have sought to chase for."
Not to mention the failure to take things like inflation into account. It is only worth 28,000,000gp because of the credit market inflation. Theoretically, buying power of that 28,000,000 is the same as the original 11,000,000gp in credits so...
And it isn't all profit, there is overhead, taxes, etc to take into account for the gold that WAS generated by the shop.
What a disingenuous post.
Nobody asked Targossas to pay 2000 credits.
The *agreement* with Targossas was that its Chancellor would effect the sale of the shop on Prythe's behalf (so that there would be no issues relating to the acceptance of the purchaser) and pay that sum over to Prythe. No out of pocket to Targossas - in fact, Prythe even offered to pay a commission on the sale.
Win win win for everybody.

Maybe player housing could have limited shops or something added.
And there could be specialty markets that let people sell designed items like a clothing/jewellery store, a food/beverage market, and I guess furniture and art dealers.
Also they could bring that one marketplace that's on Meropis where nobody uses it to Sapience.
Ahh well, geez...why didn't you say so earlier....all good then!
Lawl, you heard it first here, folks. Might as well ball up your money and chuck it at the screen, you're not entitled to get anything for it anyways.
I've never understood the appeal of gambling on buying a shop in another City. That being said, from what I've gathered on the situation, Targossas sounds in the wrong here...
From an OOC standpoint.
But based on how Targ consistently carries itself, it all sounds "reasonable" based on how they do things IC. A LOT of people in Targossas are "assholes." This is because they maintain that IC demeanor that fits them. Targ is where assholes go to truly be their best self and it works because that's basically the way their RP is designed. "If you ain't good, fuck you, ya spouse, ya dog, ya mama, ya auntie, ya kids, ya grandkids, ya City, ya God, etc. Either join us or go eat an entire bowl of dicks." I've never seen as much leeway interacting IC with someone from Targ as I have from a Mhaldorian or Ashtani (from an outside perspective,) they take care of their own and that's where they draw the very fine line in the sand.
Basically:
From an OOC perspective it's super shitty and horrible. Prythe is taking it like a champ, I would be fuckin livid to the point I'd be perma-shrubbed by now for calling people horrible names and being petty and shit. IC I mean... it's still super shitty and horrible but it sounds perfectly in line with how Targ runs things.

However, seizing shops in order to do it is just shitty. Cities are getting credits hand over fist now that they get a share of promos bought. It would be no hardship at all for Targossas to buy the shops from Prythe and Liliana for something like 750 or 1000 credits. That's less than open market value but at least approaching their value.
Yeah the deal that Sothantos wanted people to 'find out in game' was that he was holding it over their heads to get Cyrene to drop the ban. This thread is full of details about what's going on in game. Pretty sure he just omitted this deal because it makes them look even shittier, not only to take somebody's property but to do it in order to try to get their city to change a policy. Super dick move on Targossas' part here.
It may be justified by RP, but so are a lot of really shitty things like rezz killing and hunting newbies. I can't believe there are people on this thread actually thinking that taking a shop somebody else owns for a tiny smidge of its value is actually ok.

I have found this to be the most effective use of my money qhen it comes to paying for Achaea lately. Numerous deletions of arties and nerfs to others - more than one that cost 1000-2000cr and such... that, combined with loot boxes within loot boxes that require RNG to get what you want and I'm pretty wary about "investing" in the game.
