[Fred Bob]

Las' night Fred Bob be acceptin' a trade mission from Brit Port Royale tew Frenchie Port o' France, a carryin' a big ol' load o' mahogany fer a whoppin' 24,352 piastres! Sure thang sayed Fred Bob. First time, tried de other night, de blasted rats ate 17 cwt an' so de merchant refused de load until Fred Bob could make up de difference! Last night, reloaded a save and tried again. Dis time, he be takin' de load, but Fred Bob's purse didn't grow by no 24K, what?! Turns out dat mahogany be contraband on Martinique, so's de merchant gits goods fer free?! Arrrgh!

That's why there is a small button name "logbook". Click on it, find and mission and read what it says


Arghhhh... well... in the logbook it is written the merchant is sorry but he already bought the goods from elsewhere so he has no need of your goods... which leaves them in your full property Providing it is mahagony you pocketed a nice pile of gold...

Arrr, Handel, what ye be mentionin' be a THIRD case, matey: De weasel o' a merchant ordered goods from two suppliers! :

No, fer Fred Bob's SECOND case above, the merchant TOOK the mahogany all right, but paid ZERO money for it! In such a scase, it mighta been mo' better tew sell it tew a smuggler an' tale de rep hit!

Yer scallywag crew pilfered it for grog money!

I think ye need to fire the lot of thieves and get yourself a crew that isn't full of alcoholics!

Somehow I doubt those would be very useful after the first shot, would sure look pretty though. :

 

[Scrogdog]

Hmmm, well dat dere never happened to these ol bones, but Ise do remember a coupla times when the bastid said hes gots no money! Got right angry did I until Ise discovered that Ise could still sell the crud to the bastid merchant fo more money than he woulda paid for da mission!

Stupid git. Gots no patience for stupid gits in general, unless o'course I be makin money offa dem. 'E also be lyin to ol Scrog about havin no money. Most times ya lose a body part fo dat.

Same ting happened when once dey said dat dey already be acceptin' another delivery! Still sold the stuff.

Bes more honor among thieves than dose pukes. Dont trust 'em sez I!

And git dis! Once me be missin a date cuz of dem bastid Dutch blockin me port! Got a 10k bounty on me head for dat. Missin a freight delivery... 10k. Next time Ise just off da mothers.. see what I get fer that!

Dumb chits.
