I use treasury if I'm moving someone around, or building something - I figure it's the infrastructure cost that Unzen or Varmor are too busy to think about, or something that's mundane to spend a drp on... Hiring ships, paying for food for the army, or for bribes, that kind of thing.
*nodding*

Yep.
But I never know how much each thing I do actually costs. A bookkeeper I'm definitely not. I leave that in Estiä's hands...
...and the AllFather's.

I must admit I've kind of ignored wealth, except maybe once when there was a famine in Sanctuary, oh and during the James Bond story. I've never really been comfortable with the idea of Brid having a treasury anyway, as she doesn't have concentrations of followers, or much commerce between those followers (well, at least that's the idea anyway!)

DRP for wealth? Limited DRP I hope!

I think the rules state 5 Treasury equals 1 DRP in effectiveness in the mundane world?

Hmm this will impact my own gameplay greatly.

I use treasury ALOT for things such as scietific research and construction. As i play the mortal side of my god the most and the uber power side the least this will make my own gameplay quite different.

Id even go as far to say as it will make the game rather difficult for me and I will have to make notable changes to my gameplay.

I would rather have stricter rules on Treasury than get rid of it altogether. Treasury is a fairly big part of my game so far.

Mm for me also.

Infact losing treasury would result in about 1/3rd of my turn submission's contents being lost.

I assume, however, that having treasury is still going to be better than not having it, because it keeps our followers happy? Greater Contentment?

If anyone can bargain the AllFather into reconsidering keeping Treasury, she can. :D

Fist, I might whine behind the scenes to you (and others), but let's give him a break on his birthday, huh? ;)

We can hit him hard tomorrow...

See, a birthday after the other... as a gift to you all, I'd like to offer another new cryptic hint :D

A certain deity launched a massive attack against another, with or without allies... the attack succeeded, but the deity has found out that victory is a very fleeting thing :D

I'm guessing that one's not about Ez vs. Z. Not only because I don't expect him to have much success, but also because I have a theory about how a certain attack I know of might turn around. Can't wait to see, though, no matter if I'm right or wrong about any of it! :lol:

I'd like to say that given that participation and voting in the last contest were both very low, I'll probably try to run another contest soon, and if that one also has few participants and voters, I'll cancel the whole idea of the contests...
