An Experimental Failure!


Image Source: Ramshornstudio

The Weavers Guild has once more put in an urgent request to the capital. Apparently they now have a huge stockpile of Flax thanks to all those who sold to them to keep up their supply, however
they've since used up a large portion of their Wool supply through experiments to dye it into a fine golden brown by mixing Smashed Beets with Water to create a dye ...

They believe they have now found the right mixture of Beets and Water to create a fine colour for the Wool to allow them to create a different colour of clothing to sell on the market, and hope to experiment with other mixtures later to create an even larger variety of dye for the clothing so everybody doesn't all look like identical twins!

The Capital has given the Weavers Guild a grant to purchase Wool from the various citizens whether they are Freemen, or Barons to fuel this research of the Dye, and of course for a better selection of clothing for everyone to purchase and wear at a range of prices.

Even without the dye they have used up such a large supply of Wool that the productivity of clothing has dropped so considerably that many of the citizens all across the country are once more freezing from a lack of warmth that even the most basic clothing provides!

The Weavers are requesting as much Quality 0 Wool as the citizens can send, and this time are willing to pay a much higher cost towards the production of this resource at 0.75 ¢τ.


This contest begins on Monday 3rd March 2008,
And ends on Friday, 14th March 2008 at 23:59

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 one is made available.

The winners are indicated in the competition listings.
Statistics > All Time Competition

 

In this case Wool was selected been a product even beginner cities could produce in a fair quantity to have a chance to win one of the above rewards, or sell to the larger cities for a large income boost.

It also follows on from the previous contest to show how quickly a situation can change - Everybody should be prepared for changes whether it be in prize, or sales; the world is constantly growing and changing as the days pass-by.

 

The Contest Products Trade Forum remains open during this contest to allow the purchase of Wool for our more competitive users wanting to win one of these fabulous prizes for a fast reputation boost without having to spend money on coins, or buying produce for the demand from Special Buildings.

During this time any Wool used for the purpose of this contest should be brought in the Contest Forum.
