Just noticed that at Jakes in SS every weapon I have in my lock-up shows the * The local shop offers the reduced price on the indicated weapons due to an overabundance of stock. and prices that seem to agree. Now  I'm pretty sure Jake doesn't have an overabundance of ATG's, and CGL's, so this is likely a bug. occured around December, 2044 2008-03-23  08:06:50 server time.

Jake is definitively a thief.
Thanks for reporting this, we will send a militia team for investigation.

viKKing I think you should take a close look at the members of the miltia. I think Jake bought them off, because its still happening. (note it only happens in SS, the rest of the towns seem OK)

Yes, I think for some reason jake is counting the items that players have in storage in Somerset, and thus he reduces his buy price based on what is owned, not necessarily what he has in stock.

This was actually caused because Jake has been buying more than he's selling, lately. This was unforeseen and lead to him considering zero stock as being 'too much'. Anyway.. should be ok now..

Kermit ponders what would happen if Jake stopped buying when he ran out of money...

Nooo..... you're talking about the noob bread, and about the way for the not-so-noob to return on his feet when things goes wrong... keep it as it is.

Heh, not gonna find much sympathy in the vet crowd.  Originally jake might give you 3-4 K for a symph.  There has to be a reason to leave Somerset, you can make enough to get on your feet and get moving south, or west.

The only way to make ppl moving out from SS is not reducing money to all.

SS should be a newb town?
then some stuffs are required:
- cease to borrow car to vets
- cease to buy cars from vets
- let pirates fears the vets and avoid all combats
- let the ones that still fight the vets having SO MUCH firepower to scare the vets
- let SS inhabitant kick off vets when they attack traders instead of defending the town from pirates
- Let vets fight at SS only with newbies to teach them the game, or only with non-vets to keep the great community play that already exist.

Now, how can we define a "veteran"?
Summing total CR, money, rep, fame and crew skills. With a good formula we can define a vet without errors.


SS should help newb to begin vets, then kick them off to help EVAN become a civilized place.

Lowering money incomes affect the one that have not so much money.... the one with millions don't care at all about Jake's prices.

Just my 2 cents

I don't want to open a new topic about this.

This is part of the current Jakes stock:

Heavy Machine Gun 5189 3 BUY
-- YOUR TOWN LOCKUP --
Heavy Machine Gun 3114* SELL

Why Jakes, with only 3 HMGs, offers a reduced price 'cause overabundance?

ok, Jake is making me wonder...

lets take engines.

2.5L  list price $2529, will buy from me for $2023 (80%)

3.2L lists for $3680, will buy from me for $1765 (48%) due to an "overabundance of stock".

now, granted, there are 101 3.2L engines in stock at jakes, but there are 148 2.5's!


so does jake have an "overabundance" dart board? these numbers make no sense. is the economy random?

In the real-world, and I assume in this one, "overabundance" is a relationship between supply and demand, not simply one of stock.

If 148 2.5Ls aren't being considered an overabundance, then I would assume that's because Jake's moving them pretty easily, and therefore is receptive to buying more.

Or the model could just be off. ;)

might be stock he has that we dont see but yes, doesnt make sense to say overstock when there isnt. Can the damaged guns be counted as stock?

come on down to elmsfield, plenty of money down here to make!!
