IDIOT'S GUIDE TO FED2
TRADING FOR FUN AND PROFIT
GETTING OUT OF TROUBLE
Merchant is the first rank where it is possible to end up in a right old pickle. You need a certain amount of groats in order to be able to afford to buy a container of goods. That's why the Trading Guild insists that you have a spare 100,000 ig on top of the joining fee - so you have a float with which to start trading.
But it wouldn't take too many bad trades for that float to disappear, leaving you stuck. If that happens to you, then don't reach for the poison pills right away... there is another way out. You can declare yourself bankrupt and be demoted back down to the rank of Adventurer. The command is 'DECLARE BANKRUPTCY'. You will then be able to work your way back through that rank before having another stab at trading. A drastic step, and a big humiliation to be sure, but better than being unable to go any further!
