THIS IS NOW AN OPEN LETTER IN THE FORUMS, GO AND SIGN IT!

Before I begin, I'd like thank LordRahl2 for doing some of the heavy lifting for this article.

The admins have decided to incorporate the "Raw Materials" they added to the game and get rid of stone, houses, tickets, hospitals and defense systems. I like the idea of bringing in the other Raw Materials (Fish, Fruit, Cattle, Deer, Aluminum, Saltpeter and Rubber) to create high quality weapons and food, but I do believe they've mishandled this a little.

1. They are going to allow for the Raw Materials to be made for a month before they force the food and weapons companies to use them. This is good and we'll have a really solid stock of RMs when they are finally used.

2. Every quality of food and weapon will need Grain or Iron. This is decent, but I think the distribution of what quality item should be akin to how many regions have the needed Raw Material. Here's that the distribution looks like the way the Admins currently have it set up.



As you can see the most populated item is currently Fish, and it's used for Q4 food only. Aluminum is the 2nd most populated Weapons RM and it's only used for Q4 weapons. Rubber is the least populated item and it's used for Q2 weapons only. Now there's an easy fix to this. Just switch the order that the products require. Here's what it would look like if you use the most populated item for Q1 and the least populated item.



Or if you want to look at it the way the admins showed us and you are a visual learner.

This is a really simple fix to a problem that could be caused by the new restructuring. As I said, I like the restructuring. I think this could be good for the economy, but it would look better if the RMs that were more readily available was used for the easiest to get product.

Fightin' 'round the World's podcast is going to come back, but before it does I'm looking for some "executive producers". We're going to come back with a very random schedule. We may do some Tuesday shows for fun, but we're going to focus on bringing news on Thursdays. The executive producers will receive some pay, in either goods or money, depending on their preference.

Do you want to go back and listen to old FRTW episodes? I do. Click here to do it and maybe when I'm not 2 clicking and lazy I'll do more. Changes may be forth coming, stay tuned to the paper.
