Alright....I will finish up my mailing today & get it out to the people as soon as I can. I want to warn them BEFORE I levy the taxes, because that's what I promised to do...I said I wouldn't just levy without warning.
Some semi-good news is that our TM seems to be buying a little bit of my wheat each day now instead of just letting it sit there for days on end But he did ask me NOT to let the citizens know he has opened up to more buying from me so that they don't overload the autobuy even more so please do not mention this situation to anyone outside these walls

Alright, I am working in the stone mines till I hear different. (Hell, we dont have any iron anyway for me to play my trade. :-P) Sounds like we need to get more peole in the mines also.

I know the corn output wont be a problem on my side. Im not crazy enough to try my hand at livestock. Ive heard its a pain in the rear especially if we dont get any new little piggies and sheepies.

Oh, and whats it worth to ya for me to keep my mouth shut? Razz

LOL It's worth alot......how about it's worth me not putting my size 7 1/2 shoe up....well you get the picture ?? lol

We also need to discuss activity here & see what we need to do to boost activity in the forums as well.....

I dont know about the regular forums because you know I never go there. However, as for here... There should ALWAYS be activity here bcasue we ARE THE TA. We need... have to discuss things here that directly involce the city. Yes, I said city becasue Evesham has been around and prospered long enough to be a city. My feelings are... if you cant show up here and at least put your two cents worth in then you have no business calling the TA your own.

Size 7 1/2? Damnnnn, you have big feet. Your not hairy too are you? LMAO :-P

I agree with you Rathen & I am the first one to take the responsibility for the lack of activity. As your Mayor, I lead by example, or at least I should, & I have let my RL hectic schedule get in the way of my activity here. For that, to all of you, I'm sorry.
Now, as for the regular forums, I want some RP's started. I know we currently have my Manor going, & Moody's Pub (Jibboo, is that very active ?) There are also a few here & there scattered about, but I think we should think about a Fall/Winter RP ..... DON'T START IT YET !!! But let's discuss it.
Jibboo, I know you wrote me & said your RL schedule is getting so busy & you have to take lots of time away here & there. Is that still accurate ?

And Rathen, no I'm not hairy too but I do have "Fred Flintstone" feet according my husband lol

6000 a day!

How is that possible???

From what Corinna and I have seen on our travels market excesses are a universal problem right now. Likewise, debt is too. Word from the Royal Court is that some counties are several hundred thousand pounds into debt, so much so that the very system is locking them down!

Now, I'll assume that you are still hiding the goods and money so that should save a bit. Otherwise the quickest way to generate cash, especially if trade has gone to crap, is to tinker with the mine wages so that Stone and Iron are generating just enough for maintenance and everyone else goes to Gold.

That's about all I have right now. I'll keep an ear out for solutions and let you know.

(we are in Cumberland right now, we were in Scotland for a bit and will be returning to there next week, I have to be in England for the coronation)

Honestly, I don't know if they are still hiding food. I hope so because the system you & Corinna worked out was perfect. I do hope they continue what you all started.
I know at one time one of the mines was closed.....dang I can't remember which one....
Beaker, are you still a member of any of the forums even though you're not a Council member ? If so you could go in & maybe make a suggestion or two & make sure what I read was right....on how much the King is taking daily. I will try to find Correus' original post because I don't want to quote him incorrectly.....but we are/were losing an unbelievable amount that was unexplainable. Now if you are a member & you do talk to anyone, you know that information is not supposed to be shared outside of Council Chambers, & I don't want to get the wrath of the Countess, so ... you could just say a little birdie told you lol

Okay, I officially dont like the new lay out. Its not letting me eat and I cant work at the mines. Why cant they just leave some thigns alone?

LadyGina · Posts: 388 Join date: 2007-12-01

I know, I hate it too. I can't see the grants in the grant management screen & it took me FOREVER to find how much cash is in the town treasury & Dranoel can't find his office in the barracks.......he's County Sergeant (I think).....
BUT you CAN go back to the old version by clickint the link "Old version of the game v.2" at the bottom of the town screen. However, be warned......it's all in French. But if you're like me you pretty much have the buttons memorized anyways, so it won't be too hard to find your food & go work in the mines.....if not & you need a translator, use Babel Fish:

Im glad you told me about that becasue I didnt even se that option. (Im on a laptop) I reallu hope they fix the bugs, if they do I think it will be cool. Im still working in the mines everyday, Im hoping its help out.

LadyGina · Posts: 388 Join date: 2007-12-01

I added a message in the Mayor's Message in Town Hall about the old version because I had 4 messages begging for help because people could not eat lol

I can't see the messages that come up when you do something, like picking fruit, if you click on a spot a big black box comes scrollling by & I can't read it.....it's blank, but I'm assuming it's the error message people say they are getting......

Have any members of the TA quit? I have seen only half show up for this meeting. If anyone has quit, we need to appoint new members.

LadyGina · Posts: 388 Join date: 2007-12-01

I haven't gotten letters of resignation from anyone other than TS_Becket a long time ago but I never removed his access, but will do that.....Gnome is in retreat now.
I haven't heard from Tryfing yet, but will contact him to please join in.
Beaker is an advisor & not technically a TA member, but he has been involved in this meeting.
Really EVERYONE but Tyrfing has been here and posted at least once, but I am going to try to get everyone back in here tomorrow (I am getting ready for work & won't be back online until morning myself).
I have been thinking of maybe assigning a Mentor's Assistant to help Gnome since his RL time has really hit his RK time heavy.
I am also thinking of maybe a new Minister of Morale. No offense to you, Jibboo, but with your schedule, you have to take a lot of time away from RK as well.........
I will consider all of this this weekend, but I will be getting everyone back in here to finish up this meeting.
With elections in 2 weeks, to be honest, I'm not crazy about levying taxes yet because I do have an opponent, & I'm afraid he'll make all these promises he can't keep & the people will vote him in.......I'm not trying to be greedy & be Mayor for life, but now is NOT a good time to try to "train" a new one.

I am pituring you jumping around your bedroom trying to pull up your jeans and zip them up as you hen peck on the keyboard and nearly fell of my chair laughing.
