[Donuts]

"Ultimah is a first-class artisan of undisputable talent. I respect him and his skills in engineering as well, for they have served the town to no end. However, I do not believe him to be capable of absolute leadership; he wants others to gaze upon his works and enjoy them as aesthetically pleasing, to build that which will make us great. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that pursuit, and it is a noble undertaking, but life itself is not all about aesthetics and ideals--it is about survival. Without food, none of us would be alive. Without those who toil and gather in all hours of the light, without those who know whether or not what we consume is safe, our town would not exist today. People like Ultimah would have nobody to show their great works, Deny and Donuts nobody to defend; people like Xeron would have nobody to pass his wisdom to, and Xybrus (Pisskop) would have nobody to make money for. Without those who toil, none of those men would be able to exist, for they would almost certainly starve alone. Therefore I humbly nominate myself to lead this town to glory. These people, these who toil... They need somebody who understands them, and that person is me. I will build this place from the foundation, the base, the ground up, without which is built a house of sand. Should voting take place and I triumph, I would have Ultimah by my side as second, Xeron to advise us, Xybrus to collect that which is owed, and Donuts and Deny to organize a true militia fit for a town of such deserving people. The goals of every realist need to be tempered by the dreams of the idealist, the wisdom of the learned, the experience of the monied, and the protection of the protectors. I could see nobody better than those great men, the aforementioned, aid in service of that goal."

"That can work too..."

[Ukrainian Ranger]

As there are too many males I'll take a female

Char Sheet

Age: 19
Gender: Female
Bio: Member of a large hunting dynasty. And not only member but the best archer dynasty ever had, due to natural talent she is better than many military grade archers.
Goals: She is a fierce feminist and will do whatever is needed to increase the role of women in the village and beyond. Also she has an ambition to become a military commander someday
Initial Influences: Hunters


Vote for Deny

[agertor]

((Suppose Ill do Ranger this turn as well))

Archery is a fine skill, the basics in bow and arrow has fed many lives, and can save many lives. Simple pieces of wood, feathers and a rock tip have shown before and time again that when used right, it can change a life. You are noble for this, however your drive is feminine. The hunters have respect for you, and in this patriarchal society, you are looked down upon. You choose a harder goal, a harder path. But some of the women, especially the huntresses, are also behind you.

Influences:
Hunters 25%

((I see a lot of voting, but that does not count for your action guys, patrol does, but some are just voting.))

[Donuts]

So i am the only one who actually did an action?

[agertor]

((You and Deny are both Patrolling, and therefore adding safety to the village, til something like walls are built.))

[Donuts]

Edited original post.

[Kamin]

Action: Show the Gatherers how to till the soil before planting. Soil compaction (resulting in weak root systems) is the number one enemy of all plants--even more so than pests and short bouts of adverse weather.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Action: Ranger as she called herself decided to take a short rest from hunting and volunteered  to patrol the village for increased safety and to gain some contacts and respect among the soldiers, She did everything possible to impress them with her archery skills and that female can be a warrior too

[Donuts]

"So, Ranger, i suppose as you are a hunter, you know the woods around here? Suppose that would help finding any bandits, good to know we got somebody competent with bows too."

[Ultimuh]

I vote for Xeron

"I think those wise enough to be leader should have it handed to them. Alas, I am but an artist soul and strive for lofty goals as Kamin might have said. But should I be granted leadership, I would accept it and I would do my best to listen to the people's will and needs."

Action: Help improve the village's infrastructure where it is needed.

[Deny]

(People like AWESOME! )

Well if you insist Ultimuh, and you do indeed make a good case Xeron
Change vote to Xeron
(I can do that right?)

[pisskop]

Well, if the turn is unfinished my action shall be to instruct 50% of my followers to filter into the gaurd and 20% to learn the latest in crafting and traps.  10% are to scout the area and report especially the nearest towns and notable or untamed geographical features.

I assume this intell is mine until I share it?
While I share other towm info I keep notable geofeatures.

Also I respectfully petition to change my name to pisskop, if it pleases agertor and simplfies the game on this regard.

[agertor]

Deny

Influence:
Warriors 25%

You organize those who will listen to begin a patrol. The warriors make great guardsmen. Armed with clubs, stone weapons, and basic archery, they are the best equipped to do this task. Separating to cover more ground from the other groups, you go to the edge of the woods. The men tell you that they will not enter the woods as there is rumored to be a creature that will eat them in there. You could force them to go into the woods to finish patrol (Result unknown) or you could leave the patrol unfinished in the woods. (Safety down, Wise -5%)


Ultimuh

Influence:
Craftsmen 25%

Noticing the lack in housing, you understand that these tents, and makeshift structures are not good enough to be called homes. You begin construction of homes. You even get a longhouse done today. Enough to fit a couple of families. However, it is called to attention that you wont be able to finish the other homes until later. The question remains, who will occupy this first house so that later, basic housing may be finished. The Craftsmen seem to believe they are entitled to their own structure. (Craftsmen +10%) and while that is understandable, the other factions seem to wish for their own housing (Faction choice +10%, Craftsmen -5%) and the final choice was to save the structure for yourself or other leaders (Criminals +20%, Other Factions -20%)


Donuts

Influence:
Warriors 25%

You order your men to patrol around, you had been split off from the wooded area to check the bridge over the river. You notice smoke in the distance in the open fields. A fire? While smoke signals were commonly used, they were not being used in this case, and it was still day. Music and signing should be heard, but no sound was being made. It was eerily quiet. You look on, the next village over the river may be in trouble. Should you go check? (Random event), or will you stay, and secure your own village, unknowing to what was happening. (Secure Self)


Kamin

Influences:
Gatherers 25% ; Wise -5%

While you show them how to till soil, the process is long as you do it with your bare hands. In addition there are no seeds. You at least have whoever will listen to begin tilling small fields near their homes. (Effect: Food Shortage, Wise -5%) This had also in addition with no real food available has caused a shortage. Now there is a problem. This teaching has cost time when it was unavailable, at least at first. Perhaps you should remedy this situation. A food shortage could be bad for the near future


pisskop

Influences:
Crime 25%

Using half your men to go into the guard, this leaves you few to do what you want. In addition with scouting, the warriors to not trust them, and they are forced into the most dangerous part of the terrain. The mountains have narrow winding paths and only require a few people, but its danger is well known. With your men guarding the town, you notice that the ones that stay to guard are constantly watched by the warriors that are loyal only to the town, and stay to guard. They outnumber your men greatly and distrust rises between them and your men. Some attempt to learn some traps and crafts, however these are not the most intelligent of men. The only traps they learn of are pits, and these are already well-known. While on guard one of the warriors and your men get into a fight. Will you blame the warriors? (-15% Warriors, +15% Criminals) or will you punish your man? (-5% Criminals, +5% Warriors)


Xeron

Influences:
Wise 25%, Leader +5% all

As the votes come in, you are elected. Congratulations Chief Xeron. You may change the laws, and in addition you get a bonus of 5% respect to all factions in any faction-related actions. The influential have chosen you as their leader, and with the wise behind you, you may be able to make that difference. The Law Book is laid before you, the people get on their knee to you. Society can be changed by you. You can even rename the village, set its priorities. You have much work ahead of you Chief Xeron.


Ranger

Influences:
Hunters 25%; 5% Warriors; -5% Wise

While patrolling, your huntresses follow. Completely archery based, they would be best to defend. Though with your patrol, hunting has been hurt. This causes a Food Shortage, and news from the Gatherers tells you that a previous food shortage was made worse. (+5% Warriors, -5% Wise) More aware of the woods than your warrior counterparts, you look on as some of the men look embarrassed as your women hunters go into the forests, unafraid. However the forest is large, and you can not do the whole thing yourself. You hope a bit that the men will scout the rest.

[Deny]

What are you afriad of little Childrens tales, if there is a beast in there then surely it woulkd be best to hunt it down, that is, assuming there is a beast at all, Come On, let us spare no expense for the safety of our village, our would you rather be cowards for the rest of your lives?

Keep going, search the forest

[Donuts]

Go check, but first tell Deny 'bout it.
