Silver and bounty points

Hydra keeps what the game says about your silver and bounty points, one row a line in the ledger: silver found on your own searches, by the fossil charm, out of a box or with a bounty’s reward; silver a shop paid you, with the shop named; silver you paid a shop or handed to someone; a locksmith’s fee and tip; every deposit and withdrawal and a note’s surcharge; and the bounty points a task earned. Nothing is ever sent to the game to learn this; the rows come from the lines you would have read anyway.

A note withdrawal is the one line that never states its amount. Hydra takes it from the withdraw you typed just before, so a note written for a withdrawal typed elsewhere (by a script behind Hydra, say) records only its surcharge.

Because of that, a note you deposit by name while standing in a bank (deposit note, deposit scrip, deposit chit) is sent as deposit all. Coins deposited by amount, and anything typed outside a bank, go as typed. A bank is a room the map knows as one.

Ask for it on the command line:

• .silver shows today’s sums for this character: silver in (found and sold), out (bought, paid, fees and tips), the net, what was banked (deposits less withdrawals), then each kind, picked up from a companion among them, and the last ten lines.
• .silver all shows every character’s sums today.

The game’s day turns at midnight Eastern. Both are in Menu → Reports, under Silver and bounty points.

Silver found is credited to whoever found it. When one of your characters searches or mugs, the game tells only that character what the pile holds, and the pile on the ground gets one id everyone sees. Hydra follows the pile by that id: when another of your characters picks it up, by hand or by the fossil charm, that is recorded as picked, with the finder named, and not as new silver, so a household’s total counts it once. A pile nobody of yours dropped counts for what the charm says it held, and for nothing when picked up by hand, since that line states no amount. Two finds that land on one pile, a search and a mug in the same breath, stay one pile, and the pile is the first finder’s; each find is still credited to whoever made it. The coins your own search gathers as it ends are the same silver the search stated, counted once.
