[HoE] Usable Currency

["Ronnie Gustaveson" <gus_bus@hotmail.com>]

Hey there boys and girls,
I was curious how many of you Marshals were having trouble with HOE's 
system of tradable goods instead of money.  In theory its great and 
should add a whole new level to the HOE experience, in practice, I've 
discovered, it's a total pain in the ass.
  
My new group consists of a Ravenite that just loves to haggle, always 
trying to get the best deal for the goods they have.  Must be a Korean 
thing.  Problem is, he's really good at it, and after getting me on 
the ropes a couple o' times and makin' the posse a lot richer than I 
wanted, I decided something needed to be done.  The thing that really 
bothered me was that he was playing his Ravenite the right way, and 
that's something that we Marshals are supposed to encourage our 
players to do.  So I came up with something that I called "Gus' Usable 
Currency Tables."
Okay ya ready for the kicker, it works really good, and I ain't just 
saying that.  The amount of time it saves me off of Eagle's (the 
Ravenite,) Haggling sections alone makes the game run a lot smoother, 
and everyone is happy.  Also, it saves a lot of time on general 
Scroungin' rolls. 
 
Anyway, I was wondering if any of you Marshals were having similar 
problems, and would like a copy of "Gus' Usable Currency Tables."  If 
so e-mail me directly, and I'll send ya a copy.  There is a catch 
though.  For whatever reason, the folks don't seem to like random 
tables very much.  However, if this works well for enough people, I 
was going to approach them with the idea.  I'd like very much to get 
all the kinks worked out first.  So if I e-mail ya a copy, I'd like ya 
to play test it with your posse and then write back lettin' me know 
what ya liked and what ya would change.  Should be quite painless, and 
you'll get some free tables that will save you a lot o' prep time.
In case ya didn't catch it at the top, my address is 
Gus_bus@hotmail.com.

See ya in the funny papers,

-Gus "can't we all just get along" Bus
