I've officially decided to name my new pet chicken "Ser Knottakrab" at Draignean's suggestion.
NEW MECHANIC
I have decided that Happy Crab LLC favours (henceforth referred to as "Crab Bucks" or "Crabucks") are physical tokens that can be exchanged by players, be it gifts or trade.
I will still issue them as I see fit, but in consideration of the need of certainty of value, I shall establish an official conversion rate.
Different series can be issued, with special conditions applying to them. Favours issued so far are Series A, with the following conditions:
A series A Crab Buck can be redeemed for either of the following:
-10 minutes of playtime with Citizen Snips.
-10 minutes of playtime with Ser Knottakrab.
-The rights to put one (1) Happy Crab LLC advertisement in a Happy Crab LLC approved location aboard your vessel.
An agreement can be made for other concessions in exchange on Crab Bucks on a per case basis, but the conditions stated above are guaranteed without need of negotiation.
While on this note:
2 Crab Bucks to @DraigneanCraigneanEldnean, as a token of appreciation for naming both Citizen Snips and Ser Knottakrab.
-1 Crab Buck to the @CrownCrownCrown for their "no fun" attitude and Royal Disfavor previously issued to Happy Crab LLC.
2 Crab Bucks to the Captain of the Jolly Crustacean for his ongoing support to the Happy Crab LLC enterprise.
Note: It would be highly appropriate to mark transfers of Crab Bucks not involving me to still include an @HAPPYCRABLLCHAPPYCRABLLCHAPPYCRABLLC to get my attention. Absent that, I reserve the right to ask where the Crab Buck came from. This requirement will most likely be removed if Crab Buck circulation becomes common enough, and it most likely won't be invoked barring massive or suspicious exchanges.
