Welcome all to Merchant's Row! The main Ren Faire Post for the beginning of the week will be up shortly, but for now, for those running a shop, here is where you'll be doing that from!

Our Registered Vendor Booths are as follows...

Arthur Dent's Hoopy Froods: Towel Animals For Sale
Neal Caffrey's Thimblerig
Defend Your Castle: Rick & Kate's Plush Weaponry
Gossip Girl's Silence is Golden
Ruby's Ye Olde Pie Shoppe
Beth's Superhero Costumes
Derek Morgan's Kissing Booth
Dr. Jones' Luring You In
Ianto Jones' Coffee and Tea
Cersei Lannister's Fuck the Water, Bring the Wine

If you have a name you'd like for your shop in place of what I have above, you can let me know and I'll fix it. Pricing is whatever you feel is fair for your services. Please don't charge more than 20 tokens for anything.

Shopkeepers will have half of the tokens spent at their shop added to both their spending total for tokens (meaning you can spend half of what you earn here) and to their total tokens for the week (meaning the total that determines where you stand in terms of points earnings). For those of you shopping at Merchant's Row, I will be subtracting whatever you spend from what you have left to spend at other booths, but you will keep those tokens as part of your total tokens for the week.

Those of you making icons: You will be awarded your tokens for each order that you have responded to - just agreeing to what you're making. Icons do not have to be made this week for you to receive credit for them. Everyone else - Deliver your product. Since you're really just posting pictures anyway.

Also - Lady Kivrin will be stopping in to every shop at least once to place an order. Just to make sure everyone gets at least one. ((I don't have to earn tokens, yo. I AM THE TOKENS.))

Questions/Comments go in the appropriate place below. Shopkeepers... post your shops whenever you wish. And watch for new shops popping up throughout the week everybody!

Shopkeepers: You may request a tally of your tokens at any time and I will get them to you as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will be posting a comment once a day to help you keep track.

Step right up, play a little game known as Thimblerig. For those of you a bit more literal minded, let's call it the shell game. Keep your eyes on the shell, keep your eyes on the pea, keep your eyes on me, but whatever you do, don't play for free! Okay, so that was bad, my apologies for offending your ears.

Pick a shell, 1 through 3, to see if you've found the pea. If you have, you'll win double what you bet.

Cost: Varies. Bet what you want, win back double. Bet 1, win 2, bet 10, win 20. ((I only get half of whatever you bet though, so it's still fair))

NOTE: I will be using a randomizer to keep this as fair as possible. Comment with a number, 1, 2, 3, and I'll throw it in the randomizer and tell you if you won or not. Simple as that.

Are you placing a bet, Captain?

((bad rhyme though it was, You do need tokens to play))

Yes, I'm placing a bet. I'll bet 2 tokens.

-Kathryn who is feeling lucky, but not that lucky

2 tokens it is!

~lifts shells~

Ooooh, I'm sorry, the pea was under shell number 1. (http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/4046/1993218000774433b916558.png)

Thank you very much for playing, though! Please, feel free to play again at any time.
