Anyone besides me see a problem with the care bear attitude and thinks that compitition is pathetic?

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away, and you have their shoes.

>>>Gossfords post

Yea, there was a minor fracas out on the islands today with people unwilling to accept/deal with any form of competition.

by the time you did a time share with 5 traders it would not be worth the boat fare to get there. maybe if we had a larger bonus?

I don't understand why the gem shop can't be financed by any number of traders and the profits be divided by the gem shop when we go to check on the shop?

For instance:

Trader A finances tanner's shop 1 for 10 platinum
Trader B finances tanner's shop 1 for 20 platinum
Trader C finances tanner's shop 1 for 25 platinum

When they come to collect they receive a bundle worth their percentage of the investment.

I'm not sure what the limit is on finacing a shop, for instance can you invest in many shops at one time or just one at a time.
