How long back do you owe the rent, and what would be the sum you can give and continue there?
The ending term was for 1636-1640, and the rent is 100mil, which is now due.
I will pay this sum, though I have to say I played too close to the chasm and will end up negative when I do, but that is totally my own fault
My point here is that the average for this term was an incoming of barely above 20 mil - 20mil being the yearly rent. When we account for the cost of the guard, which your majesty's wise father strongly suggested the manors hire, this means a loss of more than 2mil a week. And this is trying to keep sell orders constantly in what I hope to be the best way to get a good price - a tightrope between higher price and threat of spoiling. I now see the price of meat to be on a regular downward path, and this means the loss will be felt even more keenly, should I continue managing the Pada manor sales.
Thus, my request is not for the coming rent, but for the terms for the 5 years starting now to be adjusted to account for the lesser prices in the market.
The new terms for Manors are (fixed fee per year, until otherwise stated):
Aaspere: 20 mil
Essu: 19 mil
Haljala: 18 mil
Kunda: 17 mil
Pada: 16 mil
I thank you for faithfully managing the Manors. As you know, the game is in development, and freehold has not become a possibility yet as we do not have the countryside module set such that the GM events such as looting the manors, would occur by system-administration. The manual administration of them takes too much admin effort, and may also be perceived unfair (although the track record of the GMs is spotless as for fairness). When the countryside module is revamped, my intention is to give the manors to freehold, meaning they will be irrevocable countryside property of the owners.
Please everyone pay the 100 mil that is now due. Pay it to OldDuchy (#48). You have until the end of the year to do it.
