Records, anyone?

[Yvain Wintersong]

I request more information on the current state of Shireroth's economic system. In particular, I would like to know who has how much money, and how they got that money. I don't need every transaction. I just want to know how anyone's gotten money at all.

I recently learned that in my Duchy, Baron Erik of Dolor has 240 erb and no one else has any. If there were opportunities to make 240 erb before just recently, I don't think I was ever informed of any of them, which is a shame because I feel like I and other Brookshireans have done quite a large amount of work for the country and it's rather odd that none of us except Baron Erik ever made a single erb.

If other Duchies have this issue, I will want the Landsraad to investigate and maybe solve it.

I recall paying Erik 20 erb for intercepting a Bosworthian transport ship. However I can't recollect my account details so this is going to prove a bit difficult to verify.

[Aurangzeb Khan]

Ok - I got in but I cannot view my past transactions...

[Yvain Wintersong]

Well, that's a partial explanation. So now how did you get money?

[Hesam Jayatar]

Each Duke at the time of the Bosworth war was awarded a bounty for adding their troops to the war. An additional prize was given out to those who contributed and based on the level of contribution.

People seem to lack the motivation to go to the minitrade and ask for commissions for work in progress or new projects. I mean, Andreas archaeological dig, Ari's web work, the stories etc.. all of those are valid claims in my opinion.

[Yvain Wintersong]

Wait a second! I understand now!

There's a Kaiserial decree granting a certain amount to each Duke, to each Baron, and so on.

Baron Erik got 200 erb because he was Duke at the time. Then he took it with him when he left the throne! So he has all of Brookshire's money!

The decree also gives a certain amount to each Baron, Count, and so on. So I should be able to claim that money. In fact, I would like an official ruling from the Kaiser, Steward, or MiniTrade whether I can still claim my money owed from Imperial Decree 282, when I was on Official LOA and therefore unable to register a bank account.

[Aurangzeb Khan]

As I am now Duke - should I not be entitled to 200 erb as well, and weren't Harald and Hasan entitled to remittance as well? Or was this a one time only grant?

[Hesam Jayatar]

That was part of the bill. The point is that each incoming Duke gets an award so that he doesn't become Duke completely poor. I'd say you have a good claim.

[Erik Mortis]

So.. we could move the Ducal crown between all the people in brookshire and make fat cash? I like this...

I never put logging into the bank...So there is no transaction history. I think I have a copy of the bank on my comp with the needed changed almost in place. Just need to be implemented, and the database updated to handle logging.

I am however to busy.

[Hesam Jayatar]

While you could just move the Duchy title around, that would be fraud, and as Arbiter you would be required to punish yourself for doing so.
