A Special Edition on the Trade of Trading
The Controversial Rip-Off
"I think this was very unfair. 9 bundles of
barley would be more fair for a shekel of silver.
I think the trade was very unfair and Baytnar
should be hung and buried."
-Professor in the art of Cuneiform
"I think the trade would be fair because you can
do a lot with silver and you can bake things with
barley so it's fair."
-Professor in the art of Teaching
These were some of our favorite votes and we have the results. The results were 76% people thought the trade between Baytnar and Ushna was unfair. 24% said it was. You heard it right here, folks. The trade between Baytnar and Ushna was UNFAIR.

We asked Arkar if her rather do anything besides trading. "I wouldn't do anything besides be a merchant because it runs in the family and I trade daily needs for MY daily needs and some times I get really good deals depending on how desperate people are," said Arkar. We asked him what his best deal was. "My best deal was when a boy named Baytnar for 3 shekels of silver and he gave me 4 corns on the cob," said Arkar. Looks like Baytnar is back to his tricks on Arkar!
