About The Pull Request

Makes the Nerve Master unlockable by the master key.

Why It's Good For The Game

I feel like this should have been in in the first place, both for the sake of doing things if there the steward is gone/dead and they locked their machine, and to look at logs if the steward is being a shitter and stealing money.

The nerve master of course, but not the goldface. The merchant guild is a separate entity and would not accept the king having personal control of the business. If anything, the goldface needs to be unusable unless you're a certified member.

Gameplaywise we need to heavily guard against the king just killing the merchant and installing a new one/opening to public/etc.

so what do you do when you want something and the merchant went out of their shop and ate shit, then died with their keys

also while the guild itself may be seperate from the crown, the merchant and his shop STILL falls under the jurisdiction of such and it would not make sense to forbid the king from being able to regulate the shop

i mean the merchant as it stands can literally evade taxes and you wouldn't be able to tell unless you looked at the nerve master logs, that you also cant access

The guild would not set up without contingencies guarding against the hijacking of their economic conduit. Remember they have a whole balloon network and a teleportation device for the items that in the case of the local king disposing of their agents there would logically be disabled. Making it simple for the king to just unlock it just doesn't fit.

There is currently always their key you can just take off their corpse if they didn't hide it.

Remove GOLDFACE master key. Don't relegate merchant to being even more replaceable.

Why would the goldface be unlockable. It's not even an item from the king's kingdom, it's a merchant guild importer so the king wouldn't be able to open it anyway since its from outside his kingdom.
