Private Farms

[Rekad]

I think there should be like 3 private farms, for rich players to own, and have people work for them, like the workers would drop the farmed stuff in a box and the box would keep track of how much food you dropped, and by the end of the day someone would pick up the box and emty and pay everyone

Yes! we can call them plantations, and chain the workers together!

[Rekad]

Bomy slaves?

[Rekad]

no, were gonna tie ropes to bomys and tie em to the boat to make it faster

[fugitive316]

<sarcasm> Actually I was comparing it to slavery. </sarcasm>

[Rekad]

well, if people wanted to, they could make others slaves, maybe like disable unstick me somehow and keep the gate locked

[fugitive316]

heh, im sure stefan doesn't want to make slavery on graal. It would be neat if someone could buy a farm, and when people farmed, all of the completed material would be automattically stored in the farm silo. The farm would retain all farming items, and the players would be payed depending on how much work they did. An NPC could count a persons work, and name a fair price. Then the farm owner would owe the worker that much money.

the farmer would have to set a rate for work, like some owners would probably split it 50/50 while others would try to keep it at like 10/90... but that would make for some fun Farmer riots

would those rich players always keep the farm? or would they lose it eventually?

[Rekad]

they would have to pay various things on it, but if people wanted to make it a commune, they could

There are private farms on Graal 2001 already ^_^

[Psyker]

Haha yeah, farms are barely touched anymore.

Would this also be called "slavery"?
I mean, you said there would
be 3 Farms for rich people to own
and have people "work" for "them".
So would that be considered some-
type of slavery?

theres nothing wrong with slavery.... if the slave gets paid and has rights
