MEMORANDUM FROM CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER FLUFFY

We thank all of our customers for their holiday orders. We are delighted to have the most successful holiday season ever! The unprecedented popularity of Busscastle Fine Chocolates has, unfortunately, reduced inventory of the raw materials we need to make the fine confections you require. To ensure availability for as many customers as possible, we are now limiting orders to 5 total boxes. Thank you for your understanding. And, thank you for your continued support of Busscastle Fine Chocolates. We appreciate your business and will continue to strive for perfection in chocolate form.

On behalf of the staff of Busscastle Fine Chocolates, thank you and have a wonderful holiday season,

Fluffy, Customer Service Manager

Fallon144        Thank you. I am glad you like it!

Benedict         Hmm... I could go for some burgers. Let's have a potluck dinner- you bring the burgers and I will bring the chocolates!

seemurray2       Fear not! Mittens would love to stay a while - as long as you keep the tuna coming!

Ilikehotdogsalot      Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

Jacqulina      Thanks for hosting the kitties! They would love to swing by the kabin for some milk and treats sometime.

SIMMANIA      Thanks- glad you liked the update.

BlondeTwiggy   Tiger thanks you! She would love to swing by for some catnip!

Anyone curious about the impact of the holiday 

spending blitz on Schulmania's economy? 

Answers coming soon!

HINT: It imapcts the whole nation and the effects 

will be felt from this time foreward!

[patriots_1228 51]

hmm ill put 20 on a comercial boom.......

[raul39 0]

well, those chocolates were for my family, but when I got them I just couldnt resist eating them. They were so good! lol

Regarding that one question, I say not only the commercialists get money, but also all the lawyers and such because they get to solve all the "shot in store lines" cases.

[jacqulina 162]

hi my friend you are welcome anytime,i am looking forward to finding out about the holiday spending blitz

[meinhosen 11]

Hmm... I'm saying commercial and technological boom. I'm sure the Schulmanians were curious what Fed-Ex was when they flew in to pick up the packages...

[asturianu 4]

A monkey? The new commercial boom of Schulmania are monkeys? Hehe, funny! Well, I vote for a commercial boom!! BOOM!!!

[Simfan34 11]

Seeing that your chocolate supply has run low, new burgundy would like to donate 5 tonnes (10,000 lbs), in order for Buscastle to keep up production, as long as Buscastle opens an importing station in our country. They will be able to import up to C3,000,000 shillings ($5,400,000) of new burgundian raw chocolate (the south is sub tropical), carmel, and various grown in New Burgundy.

Deal...

or No Deal?

[Schulmanator 5,787]

patriots_1228       Actually, a by-product of that!

raul39      Lawyers!? Schulmania doesn't have any yet. Anyone who breaks the law is scratched by a legion of wet cats and then sent on their way. So far, the system has worked!

Jacqulina    The answer is coming soon!

Meinhosen     Actually, they did not use Fed Ex. Since they have not discovered the outside world yet, the chocolates were brought to Fluffy, the Customer Service Manager, who used secret feline technology and advanced feline knowledge to transport the chocolates to their intended destinations!

Asturianu        Hmm, riches from monkeys.... An interesting thought! The Junior Schulmanator, also known as "Monkey Boy" is better known for consuming my riches instead of building them!

Simfan34      Unfortunately, the Schulminions are unaware of the outside world still. All they know is the Customer Service Manager Fluffy has increased production dramatically but they don't see crates of candy around. It must be somewhere! There is some buzz about where it all went- but no one seems to know for sure...

[Simfan34 11]

Can it "appear out of nowhere" ,then?

[football_fever 6]

Is it green eggs and ham? Or do Schulminions not like green eggs and ham?

[fledder200 5]

I know!! I know!!!

The people of Schulmania danced around on the market squares because they were happy about the best chocolate production ever! and then they danced around some more...and more

and then they changed the name "schulemania' into chocomania and then they danced some more, running and screaming becouse the actually didn't want to change the name in to chocomania and then they changed it back into schulmania and then they danced so hard because they were so happy.......... that they discoverd electricity?

or maby just an economic boom?

Schulminion Monetary Union

 

A recent surge in commerce has led to an increased need for a unified currency. Up to this point, each town with metal resources has created its own money.

 

A sample of the random coinage issues of the realm:

 

A golden whisker from Wirt

 

 

A pair of silver busses from Wanda (L) and Busscastle ®

 

A silver meow from Baba

 

The additional revenue created from the Trixie Festival and holiday spending created banking chaos as each town’s monetary system was independent and frequent, confusing exchanges were required when traveling from town to town. Here’s a sample of some currency conversions from that era.

[Issuing Authority	Monetary System	Currency Unit Value
Busscastle	25 pyys=1 buss	1 buss= 23.015 g silver
Wirt	12 pyys= 1 buss, 5 busses=1 golden whisker	1 golden whisker= 6.789 g gold
Stell	24 stella=1 buss, 6 busses=1 lambert	1 lambert= 7.316 g gold
Baba	12 bowers=1 meow, 5 meows= 1 babaroo	1 babaroo= 5.287 g gold
Gran Maru	3 balenas=1 beta, 6 betas=1 y, 12 y=1 granmaru supreme	1 granmaru supreme= 67.231 g silver

As one can imagine from the sample above, many calculations and precise scales were needed for inter-city transactions. Financial records from the year ending with the inaugural Trixie Festival and holiday sell-a-bration indicated a 163% increase in the money supply and a 243% increase in commerce. The difficulty of the large amounts of money changing hands, this commerce required led banking and retail interests to join with consumers in calling for a nationalized currency system. The government, while in its regular session at Wirtyplace, elected to study the situation and have a committee deliver a full report. Some legislators were concerned about revoking the minting right from towns. Resistance was expected.  The committee report recommended a centralized monetary system with a single issuing authority.

 

The Supreme Wirdle was concerned that towns would resent having their minting rights pass to a central authority. She and her council created a compromise plan which would serve to unify currency while preserving local monetary autonomy. This plan would be known as the Schulminion Monetary Union, or SMU. The chief provisions of the SMU require each issuing entity to use a common currency unit, the Schulmoneta. The schulmoneta would be divided into 100 purrs. Each denomination would be minted to common specifications: the 1 and 5 purr of bronze, the 10-50 purr in silver and the schulmoneta in gold. The weight and diameter of each denomination would be constant across the SMU. The designs of the coins would be decided upon by the issuing entity, as long as the name of the issuer and the denomination appeared on each coin. This common currency idea was received to universal acclaim and plans were implemented to phase in the new currency over the next year.

Congratulations on your Trixie and the nominations and runners-up you got!

Wow! Cats (er Schulmaniacs, Schulmanians) delivering chocolates!  Awesome idea!

What a cool concept for the 32th Sims II EP/Stuff Pack (that will come out with the 17th Rocky sequel)

I take an order; pls send it to Al care of the Bureau of Bureaucracies.

Just make sure Mittens doesn't send any chocolates to our Sim Dogs!

Answer: I would hope that the industry wouldn't give the economy paws for concern!

[connor_v 3]

Beautiful money, I especially like the 1 and 5 purr pennies from Wirt. Great update!

[football_fever 6]

that must have taken you forever!

I don't think anyone else in any CJ has had money

right on

[City2TheMax 3]

I really like the whole new currency idea, and it's interesting how you have explained the economic issues and problems requiring this change. Very interesting, that was a nice update.

[Darmok 34]

Hey Schulmanator!

Business is booming!

hehehe....

The coins idea is not only good, but superbly done!

You have talent my friend

Take care
