Hello SSOBlr welcome to Math With Manda
Where Manda explains capitalism because for a platform which claims to be the smartest out of the available SSO communities with a high rate of supposed tax payers, y'all seemingly don't know how money works
Current Scenario:
We get 100 Star Coins a Week. 1 week of real life time is equivalent to 100 in game star coins.
You need 1000 Star Coins to purchase One Horse in this game. (rounded up because in practice it Is 1k star coins per horse especially if ur shooting for the more expensive ones.)
1000 Star Coins is achieved through waiting 10 real life weeks. Hence. One Horse is Equivalent To 10 Real Life Weeks.
This means. That in a year, which has 52 weeks. You can realistically get 5 horses for free. If the player has purchased a lifetime subscription. 5 free horses is equivalent to One Year of Playing.
5 horses is not a lot, by most players standards. This means that there is an insentive for players to purchase ADDITIONAL STAR COINS. FROM STAR STABLE ENTERTAINMENT. WITH THEIR REAL MONEY. WHICH SSE NEEDS TO SUSTAIN THEIR COMPANY. PAY THEIR BILLS. PAY THEIR STAFF (Which y'all seem to atleast understand is p important so that's always that). AND CONTINUE TO PRODUCE THEIR PRODUCT WHICH YOU CLAIM TO LIKE. THIS IS ESSENTIAL TO THE GAME'S EXISTANCE.
Hypothetical Scenario:
We get 200 Star Coins a Week. 1 week of real life time is equivalent to 200 in game star coins.
You STILL need 1000 Star Coins to purchase One Horse.
BUT. NOW. 1000 Star Coins. Is the equivalent of FIVE WEEKS.
WHICH MEANS. That ONE HORSE is the equivalent to 5 Real Life Weeks, Which Is About A Month. One Month. Is Equal To One SSO Horse.
A year still has 52 weeks. This means, that if they raise the weekly allowance, players will have the ability to purchase 10 horses a year.
10 horses is the equivalent of one whole year of playing.
SUDDENLY. THINGS CHANGE. 10 horses is quite a lot. That's what I buy annually if I'm having a Good year. 10 horses is considered above average player spending. But. Now you get that for free. 10 horses is a lot. By most players' standards.
Suddenly, I don't feel the need to buy any star coins anymore. Because the free ones I get cover my need of horses annually. This means I don't feel like spending money on Star Stable Entertainment.
This would probably be the most common sentiment. 10 horses is a lot. Why would we need additional star coins.
So nobody buys any star coins.
And suddenly. Things CHANGE.
Bye bye Star Stable Online o7
(And before anyone says BUT MANDA: STAR RIDER. Nobody fucking buys the renewable ones because Lifetime is STILL the most attractive and above all else WORTH IT choice for the consumer. The player has no real reason to invest in a monthly subscription. So paying a permanent 60€, give or take, is more worth it than giving SSE, say 10€ a month. Which is 120€ a year. Pretty much. DO YOU PEOPLE UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH MONEY LIFETIME LOSES SSE YET.)

There's no denying that The Goths were horrible, cruel, evil people. But no one could match Bella Goth's cruelty. Truly only one person mattered to her - herself. Leaving her husband and children in second place. Few people could like a woman so mean and spiteful, and just downright evil. But, of those few people were Mortimer Goth. While he was technically the actual ruler due to his gender, it was common knowledge that Bella helped call the shots just as equally. And Mortimer would do anything his wife asked of him. No ruling was so too strict, ridiculous or downright nasty if it was uttered from Bella Goth's lips.
Unfortunately, those lips were often the cruelest in the land...
Bella yells: Mortimer! How dare I hear about this peasant prophet from my idiot ladies instead of you?
Mortimer: Bella, darling! What is going on? I hate to see you upset.
Bella: Oh, I am more than upset. I am furious!
Mortimer: Honey, I didn't want to concern you with such trivial matters as this. There is nothing to worry about.
Bella: There is plenty to wory about, Mortimer. If the ton is concerned than we should be! They need to be on our side always!
Mortimer: Bella, just like your ladies, the ton is all made up of utter morons. All of which will believe any fact I tell them.
Bella: And what of the peasants?
Mortimer: Well, it's probably an unnecessary step, but we could ban this ridiculous man and his tales?
Bella: No, that's too obvious. People will think we actually care about this. We must break them. Break their little spirits so hard that they have no time for southsayers or tales from whomever!
Mortimer: But, dear, we've already just declared some spirit-breaking laws to address the scantally-clad dressed women.
Bella: Ugh. How dare they wear their hair down? Trying to steal my attention. Only MY long beautiful hair should be worn down. Anyway, who cares? What's a few more?
Mortimer: That's the spirit, Love. So you wish, so it shall be.
Bella: Good! I don't expect to hear any more of this. Especially, right now. I'm in talks with the Uspanians. We possibly may have a marriage prospect for Cassandra. A Lord named Ignacio! Do you know where she is?
Mortimer: Ah, wonderful! Great work, love. I believe she was in the kitchen....
Bella: Ugh, that girl. Probably chatting with the help again. She needs more friends within her status. This marriage scheme better work.
Thanks @nexility-sims for letting me mention some of our Uspana/SimDonia history!

Many years ago, the young Lord Blackwood was struck by a terrible curse. Doomed to live as a hideous beast, he wanders his abandoned castle waiting for the day when someone will come and fall in love with his true self under the ferocious exterior, breaking his curse. Until then, he drifts through a life of solitude and isolation, resigned to being alone forever… and he would be, if only he could find a way to stop all these goddamn monsterfuckers trying to break down his front door.
