    Out of curiosity had it all ready been done on main server? Maybe the settings had been bought over and it was still giving the discount, even so a different error message should have been given if the case

    This issue was tied to attempting to use an orb on a vendor that you do not have permission to. It looks like permissions are set up to Co-Founders for that lot. Co-Founders should see it work. Additionally, we updated the messaging to be a bit friendlier on the feedback. Thanks!

    Well, that significant reduces the value of this item. I imagine something similar will happen to the sceptre?

    I spent about an hour trying to get an Orb to work for one of my residents. The error I repeatedly got was: You do not have permission to modify this vendor.

    I tried using an Orb to grant a vendor tax discount to a resident of my POT and it repeatedly failed with many different combinations of permission settings. The resident made me a kindred of his lot, set the vendor on kindred, and also granted me kindred access to the vendor and the Orb still failed. In every instance I could open and use the vendor, including listing items for sale once granted permission, but the Orb continued to fail to grant a tax credit for the vendor. After experimentation with many different combinations we found that the Orb failed because the vendor was set to private. What is the point of a private permission on a vendor when everyone can still access the vendor? So even with lot permissions and vendor permissions, the Orb still failed on the vendor since it had a private permission. The private setting makes no sense at all since I could shop the vendor and list items on the vendor for sale. So it seems the only thing the private permission on the vendor did was make it impossible to use the Orb to grant a discount on taxes.

    I suggest changing the Orb so it will work on any vendor regardless of any private permission. Who wouldn't want a tax credit? Who wouldn't want the ability to gift a tax credit to a deserving resident as a nice surprise without hassle?
