Stables, Inns, and Vets

[PTabbedContent]

[PTab=Acquiring]

The first step to acquiring your establishment is to purchase a Plot of Land. There are two forms: default ones already created in Faewin and Morrene and those you can purchase in the Underground.
All default Plot of Lands are different in prices. Faewin is more expensive than Morrene, and the closer you are to the top of the category in either of them, the more expensive. To buy one of these, follow the thread within the board you wish to purchase. Once all of these default Plots of Land are taken by businesses, this method will be unavailable for futures entrepreneurs unless they can acquire the Land through other means, such as an Innkeeper or Stable Owner selling their business/Land.
Plots of Land gained from the Underground cost more than any default Plot of Land and their price also increases the higher in the category they are. These are unlimited, guaranteeing anyone access who wants to open an establishment even after the default Plots are all claimed.
Though right now these Lands are boards of their own within their respective categories, if/when overcrowding begins to suffocate the cities then they will be placed into Neighborhood boards and instead be given a sub-board. Those who already have businesses created if/when the Neighborhoods are installed will have the option of being moved to a sub-board or paying to remain where they are, whereas all new businesses will have no choice but to be created as a Neighborhood sub-board.
Inns and Stables can exist only inside Faewin or Morrene; the Outskirts are currently off-limits for them, reserved instead for Residences.

[/PTab={font-weight: normal; background-color:#75664e;}]

[PTab=Building]

As the Caravan states, you must first buy from the category called Spaces. These are the "areas," whereas the other categories are objects or increase and/or enhance your areas/objects.
You must meet certain requirements before you can open your Inn/Stable for business. For an Inn, this must be an Inn Shell, Bedroom, Bed, Latrine, Door, and a Fireplace if the current season is winter, as indicated by the sidetable. If it not winter, you can open without a Fireplace but will be closed down if you do not have a Fireplace by time winter begins. For a Stable, this must be a Stable Shell, Pasture, Stall, Feed Basket, and Water Bucket. If winter, they must also have a Fireplace upon opening and will be closed if they do not have one by time winter begins. Which additions you then include are your decision. There is no set formula to building your establishment. You have to pave your own path rather than tread a site-provided one.
The Expansion catalog items are extremely vague to allow you freedom in creativity. Don't think of a Pail as only a bucket--perhaps it's a vase for flowers! A pool with the use of Shape could be an indoor river, a Platform could be a nightstand, a counter, a medical table! The descriptions give you leeway; take advantage of it.
The ambiguity also provides members with an opportunity to ascend. Everyone has access to the same resources, so how do you make your Stable/Inn better than someone else's? By using the items given creatively and making a business that is more appealing to customers. The only way to beat your competitor is to think outside the box.
Each area is a separate sub-board within your overall board. For example, each stall or bedroom would be its own sub-board, just as the trails or garden would be a sub-board separate from the pastures or porch. If there is a specific way you want the sub-boards to be broken up, you need only tell a staff member.
You are the owner of your entire board. You will be given moderative powers over it, including locking, stickying, and bumping, and you are also free to add your own labels, a header and/or footer, and any other modifications of your desire. The board description for your establishment and any sub-boards within it should be a description of the physical appearance, a synopsis of the service they can expect, and otherwise advertise to try and draw people in. If you ever want it or any other parts of your board changed, you need to post in Invocation and staff will gladly alter it. For headers/footers, mages can be no wider than 700 pixels and no taller than 400 pixels. Text must be under 500 words.

[/PTab={font-weight: normal; background-color:#75664e;}]

[PTab=Maintaining]

In your Stable/Inn, you must have a Contract, a List of Residents, a clear distinction of property, a Transaction History, and a set of Rules. These are each explained below.
The Contract is an agreement all customers must accept before entering your establishment. It must include anything that warrants you justification for evicting them from your business. Attempting to evict them for any other reason will not be allowed and will result in staff intervention and possible consequence. Your Contract must clearly state all benefits you offer the customer, such as discounts, where they will stay, and anything else they receive. When a customer signs a Contract with you, they are agreeing to follow any of the rules you have set, from when horses can be ridden to certain tack that must be used for Stables and from curfews to restrictions on guests for Inns. There is no limit on what you can enforce but remember that absurd rules may keep you from gaining customers! Lastly, the Contract must include the duration of their stay, to be renewed when the time is up or to indicate they must leave. The duration is anything you want; make your Stable/Inn a long-term residence or a short-term visit. Or perhaps that duration can be negotiated to simply fit the customer! As always, there is freedom. Contracts must be drafted with the aid of a Lawyer to be considered legally binding and receive administrative approval.
The List of Residents simply means you must display somewhere which horses stay in your Stable and who their owners are, or which humans live in your Inn. It should indicate which rooms/stalls they occupy, when they will leave if applicable, any vacant stalls, and other information that new customers or even current customers may need to reference.
A "clear distinction of property" means that you need to explain what items you have purchased from the Caravan to create your Stable/Inn and what you have done with them. Not just that you purchased a Garden, but where it is, what's in it, what it looks like! Help the roleplayers visualize your establishment. It is encouraged to provide illustrations, whether it be a hand-drawn map, a recreation through a game like minecraft or sims, a photomanipulation, or another form of representation. You must respect copyright laws.
Your Rules can be either blatantly, separately listed or simply drafted into your Contracts, but either way they must be accessible and clearly visible. As said with the Contracts, you are free to make any Rules you want with your Stable so long as they follow the Alcrystan laws.
Your Transaction History is every expense and profit processed in your Establishment. This would include buying supplies, earning boarding, paying employees, advertising costs, building fees, and all other transactions. This is to help deduce taxes if applicable and overall to keep businesses honest. If found to keep an inaccurate, outdated, or falsified Transaction History, your Establishment may be closed.
Your establishment is yours to manage. How much it costs to stay there, whether it works as a lump sum or as payments, whether it's for specific people/horses, all of the decisions are yours and must be clearly given to the customers. You can add anything you want, the above threads are only the mandatory ones so customers know what they are paying for.
If your establishment is situated in Faewin, you will be forced to pay a tax or face persecution, as regulated by these laws. Those with an ongoing Premium Membership, explained in the Costs tab of Central Laws, are exempt from the Faewin tax.

[/PTab={font-weight: normal; background-color:#75664e;}]

[PTab=Stables]

All stalls in your Stable must be filled with bedding, which you purchase in the Galleria. There are three types of bedding: Low, Medium, and High Bedding. One item purchase covers one stall.
Low Bedding is the cheapest but offers no particular benefit. It must be renewed every week. Medium Bedding's benefit is that it is renewed every other week, saving you labor. High Bedding is back to renewal once a week but comes coupled with a Stat increase that can come into effect once a month per Horse.
When a new stall is made, you must post in Invocation to request that a staff member post any mandatory threads in it; this includes one for the owner of the horse, such as a thread for feeding it, and a thread for the owner of the stable to lay the bedding in. When your renewal time has arrived, you need simply fill out the form and post it in the respective thread.
Missing one renewal time will cause the residing horse a Constitution stat reduction of one point. Missing a second time for the same stall, consecutively, will deem that stall unlivable, the horse will be evicted, and you will be forced to refund them whatever they have paid for it. Stables known for failing to renew their bedding and thus hurt their occupants will gain a negative reputation and it can drive them out of business over time.
Hiring a Stablehand reduces how often you must change your bedding by 50%. This means if you purchase Entyne or Kierment, you need only change them every other week. If you purchase Havyre, you need only change it every four weeks. How much salary you pay the Stablehand is to be negotiated between you and your employee. The salary can consist of any benefit and doesn't have to be solely Coins.
Hiring a Veterinarian greatly promotes your Stable, as the only way for a Veterinarian to offer their services is through an establishment--whether it be their own plot of land or through attachment to a Stable. You can only hire a Veterinarian if you have purchased and equipped a Clinic through the Caravan. How much salary you pay the Veterinarian is to be negotiated between you and your employee. The salary can consist of any benefit and doesn't have to be solely Coins.
You are not free from your responsibilities if you go Away. Should you need to go Away, you will have to find someone to watch over your Stable. This could be a Caretaker, which is any designated character that agrees to take your place in changing bedding, managing staff, etc., and may or may not do it for compensation, a Stablehand, or a Veterinarian. Whomever substitutes you has no legal obligation or responsibility to continue watching over your Stable unless you get a signed, Lawyer-approved Contract that is posted publicly in the Stable before you leave. Then, and only then, will the Caretaker/Stablehand/Veterinarian be responsible for any neglect that may occur, otherwise you are at fault.
Failing to take proper care of the Horses in your care is a punishable offense in Faewin, considered neglect, and you may be prosecuted. This could include a warrant for your arrest, a trial, actual jail time, removal of your business, banning from the city or certain parts of the city, certain rights removed such as the ability to hold a contest at your Stable, inclusion in Almanac's Official Record, or any other consequence based on the severity of your offense. Please realize your punishment will only be as extreme as your crime and, like all things IC, is not enforced OOC but rather something you can attempt to run from, hide from, bribe away, or otherwise avoid IC.

[/PTab={font-weight: normal; background-color:#75664e;}]

[PTab=Inns]

All bedrooms in your Inn must be cleaned once a week by yourself or a hired Maid. To clean the room, you simply fill out the form posted in a staff-made, stickied thread in the room and post it to indicate it was cleaned.
For every new bedroom you add, you must post in Invocation so staff can create the mandatory threads which include a thread for you to clean the room with and a thread for the guest to record their unattended items. The latter is a vulnerability for theft, which is further explained in the Stealing and Battling Guide.
Missing one week of cleaning will cause the guest to lose one Constitution Stat due to unhygienic conditions. Missing a consecutive week condemns the room as unlivable, evicts the resident, and forces you to refund them out of your own pocket. Repeatedly neglecting to clean your guests' rooms may lead to a negative reputation and the loss of your business. If enough of your rooms are closed down through neglect, your entire business may be condemned.
Hiring a Maid reduces how often you must clean each room by 50%, making it so you only need to clean every other week. Their salary is entirey your own to negotiate with them, including the type of payment it is.
Maids are capable of helping guard against thieves so long as it is explicitly part of their job description, as explained in the Stealing and Battling door, but are also a liability because they may be the ones doing the stealing.
You are not free from your responsibilities if you go Away. Should you need to go Away, you will have to find someone to watch over your Inn. This could be a Caretaker, which is any designated character that agrees to take your place in cleaning, managing staff, etc., and may or may not do it for compensation, or a Maid. Whomever substitutes you has no legal obligation or responsibility to continue watching over your Inn unless you get a signed, Lawyer-approved Contract that is posted publicly in the Inn before you leave. Then, and only then, will the Caretaker/Maid be responsible for any neglect that may occur, otherwise you are at fault.

[/PTab={font-weight: normal; background-color:#75664e;}]

[PTab=Veterinarians]

Veterinarians can only offer their services out of a Clinic in a Stable, whether they own the Stable or come to an agreement with someone who does.
Veterinarians are capable of many services. They can choose to offer all, some, or one of those explained below. What you are paid is your decision, from Coins to items, just as when you are paid is your choice--like a subscription to your services, before an appointment, after one, etc.
Tamed Horses with an Ailment in their mini-profile need to see a Veterinarian to be healed, otherwise it will remain until they do so. All Ailments must be heeded until it is fully cured, at which point it is removed from the Ailment field and they are declared healthy again. No injury, disease, or other impairment is untreatable.
Alchemy and Veterinarians are greatly tied together. Curing any Ailment is achieved through a potion, which is discovered and mixed through Alchemy. Whether the Veterinarian affiliates with an Alchemist, is an Alchemist, or simply buys the potions from one, their two jobs are closely linked. The more severe and permanent the Ailment, the harder the potion is to discover.
While Alchemists act like the pharmacists, Veterinarians must be the doctor and diagnose every problem with the Horse and decide every treatment. For example, if the Horse has visible burns, they need to not only regrow the skin but regrow the nerves and offer a treatment for pain. Treating only some of the problems/symptoms, such as only regrowing the skin, can lead to permanent consequences like a lack of feeling in that area.
You may not weigh OOC factors into your Vet's diagnosis. They have to rely on their own insight and observation when studying the Horse. If the roleplayer tells you what happened and what is likely wrong and you allow that to affect what your Vet is thinking, you may lose your medical license. As such, every symptom/problem you uncover and decide to treat must be explained IC, whether you explain how you noticed it or how you logically came to that conclusion based on other thought processes.
When you get a new patient, you must post in Invocation to alert staff so an Administrator can make a record of all the symptoms and problems privately. Once you are done diagnosing and treating, you must once again ask that Administrator to come review the outcome and let you know if you missed anything or treated something unnecessarily. If you did, they may post a consequence for the Horse. Gaining a reputation for misdiagnosing or missing symptoms may cause you to lose future customers.
Common treatments are already listed in the Potion Book but others require experimentation to uncover.
Potions come in two essential categories for treatment: the verb and the noun. The verb is what the potion will be doing, like Regrowing or Calming, and the noun is what it will be affecting like an Organ or Ligament. These potions are intentionally ambiguous to force the Veterinarian to decide which their treatment lies under and is another factor when considering the risk of treating your patient. If you get the potion wrong, you may hurt your patient. When treating your patient, you must not only pick the verb and the noun but you also need to decide the strength/dosage, which is Mild, Moderate, or Severe. If you over-treat a symptom, meaning using Severe when it needed Moderate, you may cause more damage, just like not treating it enough may not fully cure it.
There may be multiple possible treatments. For example, Revive Nervous System and Regrow Nervous System may both be options. Sometimes there will be only one treatment possible.
Veterinarians may initiate tests to check and see what symptoms may or may not be affecting their patient. These tests are up to the Veterinarian to design and must simply be logical in explanation; for example, testing to see if there is numbness by slicing a small portion of skin and watching the Horse's reaction. After every test, post in Invocation for staff to post the results based on the predetermined symptoms. If your test was logical, they must give the results according to the secret symptoms, but if your test was illogical they may post incorrect results or no results at all. If applicable, the Horse can respond once the staff have posted the testing results to carry out the result IC. Testing is not at all mandatory and is mainly for Veterinarians who wish to make sure their diagnosis is correct.

add an introduction
introduce the caravan and link to it
remove instructions about caravan and put all of that into caravan itself, then just mention they have to read caravan rules and shit
entire "building" tab can be erased or moved to caravan, thus removed from this thread--dimensions for header/footer images are wrong now and word limit seems arbitrary; put in test text and find a more reasonable limit, or have no limit and just put a height limit with a scroll bar
remove contract requirement, instead reduce to simply mentioning that nothing is legal without a contract and anything agreed upon without a lawyered contract approved by admins and put in certification would have no staff/ooc/legal backing
remove list of residents and reduce to a list of renters only
keep "clear distinction of property" but rename it or, instead of giving it a name, just say they have to describe their property and how each item was applied or something along those lines--describe room by room, everything that has been purchased and put into it, rather than a catalog of their items
remove required rules, just talk about how they CAN make rules
transaction history - rename to "ledger" and must keep mandatory, though reword the shit out of that horrendous bullet point that I wrote 3 years ago and it's obvious I did so
bedding needs to be renamed - Jay suggests making all "low/medium/high" type of names on the site the same (i.e. low vs poor) rather than the sort of haphazard naming currently going on, at the very least it should be renamed to "____ Quality"
Stable tab - second bullet should just be in galleria, unnecessary to be here
"Missing one renewal time will cause the residing horse a Constitution stat reduction of one point. Missing a second time for the same stall, consecutively, will deem that stall unlivable, the horse will be evicted, and you will be forced to refund them whatever they have paid for it. Stables known for failing to renew their bedding and thus hurt their occupants will gain a negative reputation and it can drive them out of business over time" last sentence is unnecessary. consequence is currently too harsh. don't penalize the horse and don't have the second warning be a full shut-down where the horse gets kicked out too. instead, have the shutdown be a third warning and have the stable owner responsible for accommodating the horse elsewhere, by paying at another stable or giving a free stall, etc. first and second warning should be a "posted warning" like a parchment nailed to a tree, it would be a post by staff in their board giving official notice, second warning would be a fine and addition to the initial warning. warning is removed after 2 weeks unless they don't renew after it's posted.
mention that stablehands can change the bedding in addition to stable owners
fix bedding names in the stable tab, they are still the old names like entyne
make sure this guide talks about possible thievery
for stablehands- they need to have more demand, how about they can also train horses (if we do this, update the domestication guide with that)
give stablehands a perk of reducing bedding need frequency by 3 days instead of "50%" so it'd be 10 days instead of 7 for low/high and 17 days for medium, assuming we keep it how it is currently set up in duration
vets - remove their own plot of land option and have them mandatory attach to a stable
remove caretaker option and have just vets/stablehands, making those ranks more desirable
stables tab - add ability to hold your own contests
inns tab - update the cleaning laws to be the same consequences as stables
have maids improve by 3 days instead of a full week
maids need more appeal- remove mentioning they might steal
for both stablehands and maids - reintate mandatory hiring after a certain amount of occupancy. probably the first 3 occupants, the owner can handle bedding/cleaning, but then must hire a stablehand/maid upon the fourth. they must hire a new one for every 10 rooms
remove caretaker option for inns as well
for vets - change verb to action and noun to target
try to remember talisman idea--buy different talismans to allow the vet to get different glimpses of the horse's problem, I think it was an option to smell, feel, see, or hear the event that injured them or the present moment if they're ill

Make sure stables can hold events.
Make sure inns and those holding events at the foyer can now sell elixirs, following similar rules as the arena.

from galleria - maids/stablehands - tools that let them do the job faster, optional for the job not mandatory, either reduces the frequency of cleaning or offers some other perk to the buyer/user of said tools.

from galleria for vets: totems - vets buy totems to experience how the horse got injured/sick/whatever to help diagnose it. multiple totem options and each totem has 2 sides you choose from. totem "view"- from the horse's eye or as a bystander. totem "physical sensation"- exterior, such as pain in stomach, or interior, such as smelling poison, feeling weather elements, etc. totem "emotion" - positive and negative. emotion totem specifically could aid a lot in training horses. using all 3 totems inwardly (POV, interior, and an emotion totem) make you experience it exactly like the horse did, except for communication thoughts. opens up vets to being phenomenal trainers as well as useful to take to vendue. this ritual gives them access to one IC thread of the roleplayer's choice or one "key event" in their bio history--if paragraph style, consult an admin. ritual can only be done on a horse once a month, as it is a severe psychological drain (also meaning if you get the wrong combo of totems or pick the wrong scene to witness, you are SOL and have to use normal diagnose options) but IC does not have to be described in detail--only a quick summary, the equivalent of a 5 minute dream. conceivably, if a horse witnessed a thief or something, the vet could go view it. the ritual dream is 200-400 words but doesn't contribute to the word count minimum in the post it's in--has to be housed in an actual IC thread

vets - alcryst.forums.net/thread/1210/untamed-horse-birthing-procedures

vets - label for "Diagnosis" and "Treatment" (use both if a single thread applies to both) - diagnosis is for testing and totem use, treatment is actual treatments - label in cities. stables with a vet need to have these labels, so when a vet is hired by a stable, they need to post in invo to alert staff to add them. also "Birth." These only get added to stables, where the vet clinics are. run into problems, post in Inquisitions?

inns - label for "Burglary"
stable - label for "Equine Thievery"

not sure I set this already but-- make sure vets section talks about giving birth for tamed horses and have them handle it

in alchemy procedures, make a new bullet or add to the one about vets (bottom of ingredients) that talks about vet ingredients. Do they just buy the ingredients from farmers/alchemists and use them directly? Do the alchemists create a potion that the vets use?

5/25/18
reference galleria for each occupation's item

describe homelessness and its disadvantages (i.e. can't carry much, increase in likelihood of negative random events), also reference personal estates

Building - 6th Bullet - "For headers/footers, mages can be no wider than 700 pixels and no taller than 400 pixels. Text must be under 500 words."
- "images" not "mages"

Stables - 2nd Bullet - "High Bedding is back to renewal once a week but comes coupled with a Stat increase that can come into effect once a month per Horse."
- Change high bedding to no stat boost + renewed once a month.

What are the exact items that you have to purchase for each stall besides bedding? (Once you revamp the Caravan)

Stables - 3rd Bullet - "When a new stall is made, you must post in Invocation to request that a staff member post any mandatory threads in it; this includes one for the owner of the horse, such as a thread for feeding it, and a thread for the owner of the stable to lay the bedding in."
- The stable owners can feed the horses and this makes it sound like only the owner of the horse can feed the horse. Perhaps remove "such as a thread for feeding it" or be more specific about what actually goes on in each of those threads.

Inns - Bullet 4 - "Their salary is entirey your own to negotiate with them, including the type of payment it is."
- "entirely" not "entirey" <3

Veterinarians - 5th bullet - "can lead to permanent consequences like a lack of feeling in that area."
- But you just said no injury, disease, or other impairment is untreatable and therefore permanent is not the correct word?

From your notes - "try to remember talisman idea--buy different talismans to allow the vet to get different glimpses of the horse's problem, I think it was an option to smell, feel, see, or hear the event that injured them or the present moment if they're ill"
- Would this not qualify as magic and therefore be illegal in Faewin?

I have more that I will add to this later.

deal with issue that totems are the only non-mandatory items in the galleria, because it's illogical to force them to use it on a surface injury. surface injury without totem still runs the risk of missing something like a nicked bone or internal bleeding, though? if they have to buy vials then they are still using a mandatory item so that works out okay. comes down to how I incorporate vets into alchemy.

November 2018:
Need to deal with vets and the caravan. Probably say their clinic requires a minimum of 1 small spell. Have them give a perk to the stable or stable owner for being present to make them more desirable? Unsure. Don't have to work in their own stable but can also own the stable if they want.

November 2018:
Working on Milestone Badges. These are my notes on Maids:

"Let's make it you have to clean each room every 72 hours if you are the owner but if you assign 1 maid to your room and make them responsible for cleaning it, then the frequency becomes once a week. The owner can still clean it but only once a month. Only 1 maid can be assigned to a room at one time. Maids can be assigned to any number of rooms and can also work for multiple inns.
This will all function similar to hacienda farming. Have to clean the stall / room every so often. Maids and stablehands can step in and take the responsibility. And should give the inn/stable some other perk if possible to make them additionally desirable. However, unlike maids/inns, cleaning stalls can't be based on a set number because the Galleria chooses that based on which bedding type the owner buys.

----

The business opens.

Buys 1 small spell, so it has 2-3 stalls/rooms. They can handle it on their own if they want. Inns clean once every 5 days?, stables clean based on their bedding?. Maintaining has a 72 hour grace period overall; day before, day of, and day after the due date.

After a certain number of occupants, it is mandatory to begin hiring maids/stablehands. Your choice how many you hire, of course. It'd be smart to get a few of them as you grow.

You may assign a maximum of 2 maids/stablehands to a single room/stall at one time, although you can assign the same maid/stablehand to as many rooms/stalls as you want, depending on your employment agreement.

When a room/stall must be maintained is based on the occupant's move-in date and therefore your inn/stable may be full of completely different due dates; this makes it wise to employ different maids/stablehands to cover the different schedules, so you are not making maintaining posts every day.

~~You must have your maids/stablehands working at least once a month unless they have a valid Voids thread or you do not have any occupants.~~ ehhh, too many issues.. They can be suspended? Given vacation time?

Your own inn bedroom does? does not? need to be cleaned if you are an innkeeper.

Maids/stablehands only need to buy gloves/keys for the rooms/stalls they are assigned to. They CANNOT do any rooms/stalls they are not explicitly assigned to. You can change who is assigned to what rooms any time you want by posting in Invocation to have the maintaining thread OP edited.

give the normal spiel about how they can't give rent/board for free unless there's a very valid IC reason, like a business arrangement.

maid milestone badge names cleaning as its duty date. stablehand milestone badge names feeding and changing bedding as duty dates. change that if this guide doesn't line up with it, and add any other duty dates to the badges if more get added to this guide. I do dislike that maids have cleaning - because people like Talen wouldn't want them cleaned. But wtf else would a maid be doing? xD

stable owners can't be their own stablehands but can for other stables

innkeepers can't be their own maids but can for other inns

heavily review the expert veterinarian milestone badge. It is heavy guessing on how a veterinarian will heal their horses. Also, for the foal badge, I called it a "birthing thread"

for inn - say that the term "tenant" is 1 per room. It doesn't mean if there is a couple living in a room together that there are 2 tenants.

veterinarian - I say that the treatment plan has to have at least 2 treatment posts. If this doesn't wind up being the same as the other healing processes, then I need to go modify or remove that rule in the badge

for the maid/stablehand badges - I am currently assuming that you can't be a maid/stablehand for an inn/stable that your own character owns. Therefore, I didn't add it as a rule to the badges that the inn/stable can't be owned by you. If I decide that isn't going to be a rule, I need to go add that rule to the badges
