I continue to be stunned by decisions on cost made by looking at 1 component of a system, rather than looking at the total cost.

Here somebody saves maybe $20/£15 by shifting the work to the doctor, taking maybe 2.5 hrs and thus delaying access to treatment.

Maybe any administrator dealing with budgets needs a certificate in Total Cost Analysis?

Hello guild members! This is the first time I use the hashtag #Spending100TaxGoldenEmpireSavings.

This is because I am going to spend our hard earned silver today. It would be mostly proper for me to ask you what you'd like us to spend the silver on.

I want to spend our silver on a guild island and this was obvious in the guild description but also in the message to all new guild members so I did reveal my intentions early on.

If you want to participate in how our guild silver is used please contact me, here or in a mail in-game.

I want to spend
3,801,000 to purchase our first #GuildIsland which I will spend and then I will ask one of our guild members for advice on what to build on the island.

I want to make sure that both of my alt #Mastodon accounts get this message in the hashtag...
Edit: It worked for both accounts.
