A national emergency has been declared across the country following a shortage of new iron ore been brought out from the mines. Several have closed in the past few months as accident levels increase and workers leave to other professions.

The severely reduced production of Iron has started to take its toll across the country as the price of Iron shoots up tremendously. Even the manufactories are starting to feel the effects as they report reduced profits on their iron-based products.

The Manufacturers and Miners Guilds have started to put out appeals to encourage workers back into the mines promising better working conditions and better pay in an attempt to halt an increasing country-wide problem that effects several other professions.

Due to the urgency a price of 10 ¢τ is offered on the Quality 0 Iron Ore delivered to the city Contest by horse-drawn carts.

How does the Competition Work?


The Selected product may or may not be produced in a high quantity and often the product is selected to give a more fair chance to every player whether a beginner or long-term member.

The selected quality and retail price of the product to send is included in every announcement, however sometimes the product itself may be hidden with only a clue in the competition story.

Generally competitions are not suitable for the newer players or smaller cities due to the amount needed to have a fair chance in the standings. However they can sell the required product or something needed to produce them to those who are willing to pay enough to earn one of the above prizes since high yields are usually the target for these competitions.

On the last day of the competition at 23:59 the competition office
is then closed until the next contest date is made available.
