' Wrote:Re: Samura food: isn't samura LOSING market to synth foods in kusari, daily? Rather than gaining it like someone has stated in this thread? It is in vanilla, and if it's changed now that's imo a pretty wack move. All the Kusari youngsters love paste, and it was a part of the general 'waa why aren't things like they were in the past' vibe that they gave Kusari.
In general, synth paste is much cheaper, much more popular, and has way better infrastructure than any alternative.
This is exactly the sort of thing that requres what lobster asked for.
I don't think Samura actually was losing like the WVS was. The reason Synth moved into Kusari was related to the Chugoku Gate Project, which was really expensive and IC refused to cover. Paste is, however, very popular with the younger demographic, fitting in with the Kusari approach of "damn kids these days, back in MY day..." stuff. They've also gotten some planets since then.
That being said, I think the two would actually sell to different demographics enough that they would be able to sit side by side in most places.
