So, this is what Trefor of Tir Chonaill is really doing... How disappointing. I'll give him a piece of my mind.

  • From what I see... the adventurers seem... quite gullible to a lot of things. To base your purchase on other people's opinions is the first step towards bankruptcy.
    Of course, if we're talking about filthy rich people that CAN afford those impulse buys, then there's nothing we can or should do about it... but it's dangerous to completely trust what the merchants tell you. They aren't always telling the truth, you know.

  • Sometimes people say that I don't look like a Priest, and say that I look more like an instigator instead ... Haha, do you think so, too? Well, if everyone were to approach the god of Lymilark that way, with such familiarity, then I wouldn't mind being seen as an instigator afterall. It could even be a compliment for me.
Jocelin

  • It is a pretty common trick among merchants. Two people acting according to a scheme and stirring up the crowd, all to increase their sales...
    ...But, that is an old school method, and it doesn't really work in the long run.
    If you are a real merchant or a business man...
    ...You need to use your brain, not your head, don't you think so? Hahaha...

    However, I do concur that if it's hard to make a living, it's something one can consider.

  • Well, let's see. There's definitely some people who tend to go after the more immediate rewards using very abnormal measures.
    It might be that those quick rewards are worth the trouble for the time being but I think it is actually possible that it could turn out to be a big loss in the long-run.

  • Hmm… I don't know if you could call someone like that a good person. But I suppose there are times in trade and business when you need people like that.
    They're a little better than a crook to the one who has to pony up the cash… But for whoever is turning a profit, they’re no doubt valued for their talents.
    Heehee. My dad always said to watch out for people who are like that in their daily lives rather than just in their work. If that's what they're like normally, then they're probably beyond hope and not someone I'd want to socialize with.

  • I've heard something like that before. When it comes to literature, half of it is really about the art, the other half is just commercialization at work. That's when you know something's going no sell.
    In a way, the whole idea of having a decoy belongs to the realm of the artistic, so as to enhance one's selling skills.
