We could rework the table. The player-item limit was originally there so that people can't just make an NPC shop with tons of items without talking to a bunch of other players first.


For organization purposes, it might be nice to split up the table, since a 50 row table is kind of long.

Maybe split it into 2-3 shops? You can put it the same post too, similar to the way the Market street OP is done.

It'll take time to rearrange, but I'll try and get it sorted today.
>w<
Thanks for the response!

I'd say lower class, middle class and upper class.

I don't think nobles would shop at the same place a peasant would shop.

Yeah, I'll try and sort out the table.

As for rule changes in general -- I'm open to what people think are best!

I actually don't think that there were many players particularly invested in shops, but if people can think of a system that seems fair (and robust), then I'm happy to change the rules.

I made the shop to add more flavour to the world, as well as to give players a chance for their characters to buy new clothes and shoes, etc...

Btw, guys, I just wanted to ask. The countries with quarantine. Do you have, like, a big panic over there concerning Corona? It's just that I was comparing a couple of communities (a Russian one and a couple of English-speaking) and we have so much panic over this....

I was just wondering do Russian tend to panic more or is it just a problem with my perception on things

Russia is not doing well in terms of preventative measures, tbh...it's actually really surprising.
*thinks they're being idiots for not taking precautions*

Hmmm... well everyone keeps buying stuff off the market in excessively huge amounts. Anger and beating of coughing people on the streets. Panicking posts about "a new apocalypse" in social media etc.

To be honest I can't pinpoint exactly the points I want to stress in the question. I just wanted to see how people react in your countries towards this situation

Panic buying is a psychological effect, similar to a kind of mass hysteria that occurs when something bad is happening; in this case, CV.

Is a common discussion of all this situation a thing in your country? Like in social media circles? You see in Russia we have people fretting over this and doing some pointless things which won't help (like testing "vaccines" on themselves. By vaccines I mean the fraud talked about in third-rate newspapers). Or do you just keep living your lives without much of a panic? Like I see people discuss here common problems but nothing concerning Corona. Only your question was about it when you asked how do we fare during the quarantine. And I was wondering is this community of ours so chill or is it the general public situation for your countries as well?


P.S. I feel like I'm interviewing you like some kind of a journalist XD Sorry if the questions may seem a bit inappropriate.

Our news and media outlets are constantly talking about CV.
Social media is also quite often talking about it.
As for people panicking?
Hmm...we had panic-buying at first, however measures were put in place and reassurances from the government saying how our country had enough to provide for everyone that the panic-buying has reduced significantly.
The only problem now - in terms of shopping - is that people are maybe buying one extra than they'd normally buy.
The other problem is people are buying more baking ingredients these days - like flour, eggs and sugar - because people are turning to baking to pass the time and give their kids (if they have any) something to do.

As for the country as a whole in terms of measures:
We have been put on lockdown, meaning everyone has to social distance - with gatherings having no more than 2-3 people at a time.
Must keep at least 2 metres apart from other people.
All non-essential work must be done at home.
If you can't work from home due to your job requiring you to be at the job place, then you are allowed.
You can only leave the house once a day for a form of exercise, but you can't travel a long distance by car.
No visiting people unless it's essential - like bringing food for a vulnerable person.
Key-workers - like the NHS and supermarket workers - can still work and are given priority in shops for buying things.
All non-essential shops are closed - like clothes shops, jewellery shops, cafes, etc...
Kids are to study at home - unless their parents are key workers, in which case they'll still go to school.
Universities are closed - with students sent home - for this and Easter term but online lectures are still being run.
You must wash your hands after coughing, sneezing, or wiping/blowing your nose.
Must wash your hands before shopping.
Oh yeah, the Police have been granted the power/authority to arrest any violators of the lockdown.
Non-essential transport is also viable for punishment.

As for harassment and abuse...
We've had council service workers - like bin collectors, etc... - being coughed on by people claiming to have the CV, or being spat on, or having verbal abuse hurled at them. Don't ask me why - it baffles me...
Police can arrest anyone who does that to a policeman.
Just yesterday, a man was sentenced to jail for coughing on a policeman while claiming he had the CV.
*shakes head in disappointment*

Anyway, hope this helped in some way.
Also, don't panic. The worst thing to do is to panic. The best thing to do is stay at home, socially distance, and don't stockpile through panic-buying.

Didn't they have a terrorist group that was a cult that wanted to spread the disease?

Not a terrorist group per se.
It was a religious group whose practices ended up spreading the virus without realising it.
They immediately stopped as soon as they were told their practices were spreading it.

Marriages and Funerals can only be attended by 4 - 5 people. . this isn't the exact numbers but I know it doesn't hit double digits. No kissing at the wedding either

Weddings have been completely cancelled over here.
Funerals can only have immediate family members and I think even then it's a very small number who can attend - something like 2-3 people, I'm not entirely sure.

How are you all handling the Quarantine / Self Isolation btw? (If you are quarantined)

Well, a 2 weeks quarantine was announced by our president one evening (about 18:00), despite telling us we don't panic and don't buy more food than we need, it happened anyway.

The next day, there was still a lot of buying but I think there was less panic in my area, the media was all about the empty shelf and there were warnings of setting a limit of how much we can buy if it keeps up.

The panic didn't last long, the quarantine started in the next week, school and workplaces were closed down all work have to be done at home if they can. The old people, police, docs and etc. can send their children to an institution if they can't take care of them.

At first, it was still okay for 100 people to gather at the same place, but it was recommended a gathering on 20. Later it changed to you must not gather up to 10 people.

At first, the shopping centers, hair salons, and some eateries were still open. The government then decided to close them all down, unless the eateries were to sell takeaway only. Btw some of the smaller shops started to open up now.

We are on the 3th week but the quarantine has already announced to at least last to the middle of April.

Despite all the changes, the people who work for health-related stuff says we don't need to be afraid. CV-19 is just like a flu and wouldn't kill us unless we are old or already is very sick.
Coughing and sneezes should be covered by our arm, sprit and our hand more often, hold a distance at least on 1 meter and no kisses, hugs or hold a hand. They say we are not doing that to only take care of ourselves but also for the old and weak.

Oh. we didn't have enough masks for the hospitals previously and I still don't know if we have sale for it yet.

We are still allowed to go outside, in fact, it's recommended to do so. Some Facebook groups have been made to gather trash and such~

It might get confusing but I think we should able to trade stuff about the same value, some character should be willing to trade for a lower-valued thing they like with a higher valued thing they don't like as much.

A gacha game in the market could be fun too~

It could be a money gacha?

I think there was a fairy tale of something similar?

let's say there is a farmer who has a lot of eggs, the eggs may have a high value in the market but the farmer can always get it.

Another person has some delicious milk which the farmer doesn't have, the milks value in the market isn't as high as the eggs.

Market-wise, the milker can only get 2 eggs with some leftover for his milk, but the farmer value it more and gave 3 eggs for all the milk

That's not gatcha, though...is it?
I thought gatcha was to do with gambling and not knowing what you'll get...with poor quality being the norm.
I think a good example of gatcha marketing is the jade gambling stone thing they do in China.
You auction a stone off that could potentially have jade inside - but usually doesn't.
