This is why Salem cannot have nice things.

Which Item interests you?


i want to know how many nails pilgrim sold during the competition.
It sucks that the competition was won in this way, I thought it was a rather interesting competition.
I have neither the crayons nor the time to explain it to you.

Well, at least I've warned them before I do... 20 days ago.

But His Majesty... Keep going, he said. I double dog dare you, he said.

Seems like a fair game to me, especially since it was pointed out long ago, and no preventive action was taken.

Makes it a competition between people, not between game characters.

Major kudos to LOMS. And a well executed strategy indeed. Let me recap what I think he did.

1. As the mayor of rustatorium he's been collecting 20-35% of the shared tax revenues since the patch. That is roughly 40-70k silver.

2. He bought the 100k stall with only a 10% tax.

3. He spent 250k on turkey droppings but really only lost 25k to taxes. In fact because he now owns the largest town he got a ~5k silver rebate give or take.

4. So in reality he paid 20k silver for $50 of store credit.

Was it worth it? Well the most valuable store item for the money is springs which go at about 500-600s each. So LOMS can get ~50 springs worth 30k silver. So all that work for about a 10k silver profit.

Congrats.
