On Friday, Ol’ Jenkins bagged another one, and Scarth had another ‘uneven trade.’

For the weekend, Old Man Jenkins had venison jerky, Scarth Maheart Rice and Beans, Dragonshroom had back shrooms earlier, Chief Punion some mutton, Dismas Agamemnon the last of the terra jerky, Airinth slept, Katherine starved, and Lindon slept. Pay has been metted out. If you’re pending, please issue it with your monday email.

Rules change: All facilities will now gain the quality of your trade. (+1pay). Battle competency will be determined by your highest level melee, ranged, armor, and magic, as well as hp/mp levels. Clarified, custom creatures (apprentices and mounts), can equip melee, ranged, armor (but not magic) and engage in battle with their masters. They have HP equivalent to their Lvl x 10. Also, the Friday update will now be permanent, and every week.

Next update is Monday, 6 PM EST. Get your actions in early! I also have a backlog of battles, so if you want to write one for 25 silver, send me a pm!

Old Man Jenkins leading the pack this update, taking down a deer. To ensure timely updates, outcomes will be posted immediately, then filled in with battles. Remember to eat, everyone!

Update Completeish! Battles are still being written, but rosters, shops are updated, and outcomes are up. All welcome the new town enforcer; Katherine Lockheart, the Town Watchwoman! While the Village Chief is in charge of government, the Town Watchwoman is in charge of security.

Next Update is today, Wednesday at 6 PM EST. Get your actions in early!

There will also be an update day on Friday, at 6 PM EST.

The healer has been re-added, and – as per orders of the village chief – a 1 silver sales tax added to all items. Note prices changes as a result.

Also, I’m playing around with the idea of a 4-update week. What do you think? Post here! Click

Weekend update complete!

Old Man Jenkins treated himself to a nice pheasant, Dragonshroom to some delectable mushrooms, Scarth Maheart to good ol’ rice and beans. Ball had some mutton, while Dismas is still living off giant wolf jerky. Airinth starved to fainting, Katherine revived from fainting by mutton, and Lindon starved to fainting as well.

Note that if you have fainted, you can still access the healer – who has decided to stay at the library from last week’s good business! Alternatively, you can trade for some food from other players and put that in your email. Also, if you have a (pending), you need only send an email applying the characteristics of your books or crafts.

Rules change: Food now restores 20 HP or MP. Next update is Monday, 6 PM EST. Send in your actions early!

Another eventful day in Eco! Many many things built – but first, Old Man Jenkins hunts a pheasant and Scarth Maheart makes a trade with a fainted woman. In addition, Dragonshroom raises a garden, and Ball Punion an emporium. Weekend update is next!

The skeletons are almost defeated! Ball Punion and Katherine Lockheart defeat a few today, but the former graveyard remains occupied! How long will it last?

In other news, the Bank of Eco was carried away by Dragonshroom in a large sackcloth sack.
