"Drat. Well, deeper into the woods we go. But first..."

Slash several trees with "X"'s to track back from the woods. No sense in gettin honey if we get lost.

By the way, it is called the People's Democratic Republic of Freedom. Not the Democratic Republic of the People's Freedom or whatever you called it.

Plan: Rally spot is on one of the last tall hills between Waybridge and Herfordshire, along the path between them.
Send out two of my men, one each to Waybridge and Herfordshire. They are to take any volunteers for the fight against the bandits to the rally point. After the battle, we will celebrate with the former baron's beer. Those who take part in the battle will have first pick, before the rest is divided amongst the villages.
A third man is to meet up with Jongo's group. The women and children are to return to the castle with the horse. The two guards are to head for the rally point.
My remaining two men (plus Orcus, I guess?) are to help me locate a horsecart. It is to be loaded with hardtack and beer (no more than 5 barrels), and attached to the nag.
The new men (and Averus) are to be given what food we have. The last of my armaments are to be given to any that wish to join in fighting off the bandits.
My remaining two guards will stay and protect the castle, women, children, and prisoners. If someone hasn't already done so, the last guard is to have his equipment removed. ((Keeping the baron and his loyal guard around in the barely defended castle for no reason is a Good Idea, I just know it! ... Or someone could kill him while I'm not there to supervise, I guess.))

Help him with this, I guess.

Uh....I can't think of what to say...say something convincing!

From now on I'll call it FDRP.

[origamiscienceguy]

Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Poop. I like it.

"Good day. I am an agent representing the Federal Don't-Reply Post."

[Urist Arrhenius]

Then the first order of business is to elect a mayor to rule this town. Now, this mayor will not be like the baron, in fact, they will almost certainly be as hard working as everybody else. The only difference is that they would be responsible for the well-being of this town. For example, if they feel that this town needs a granary to store food for winter, they will bring this matter up in a town meeting and the rest of the town will vote whether they want to be taxed for this asset.

With that taken care of, are there any nominations for this position? I need a nomination and a second.

((So you'll call for nominations, but you could also make a nomination yourself, or take some other congruent action.))

[origamiscienceguy]

From the few minutes I have been here, I noticed that Dave here seems to be a good leader who will care for the town. I nominate him
Point at Dave

(If I roll a 1, will I "accidentally" point my middle finger instead or something?)

[Peradon]

Lol....



Seconded!

Also, for the rest of the meeting, do push-ups or something....

[wipeout1024]

Make sure the women and children get back safely.

[origamiscienceguy]

I am going to be gone for ~4 days. So I'll queue some actions.

1. After the nominations, tell dave to say what he'll try to do as mayor. If I get nominated, say that I'll try to make a town watch and a mill.

2. once the messenger arrives, say that anybody who wants to join me is welcome, then follow the messenger.

3. If a fight starts, do logical fight stuff.

Turn 26: And We Shall Call It PRDFRPD

~Tradebridge Castle~

     Rabble sent messengers immediately to rally people to address the bandit threat. As they ran off he gathered some celebratory hardtack and beer in a cart, with the help of Orcus (I guess) and set off, leaving the castle in the hands of the two guards he hoped were the most honest.
     Jongo began marking trees and travelling further from the castle when he heard shouting and a man ran up behind the group. Something about bandits, getting the women and children to safety, and meeting at a hill midway between Waybridge and Herfordshire. He looked with regret towards trees he could see had hives in them, but they would be waiting.

~Herfordshire~

     Eliza stepped forward and demanded a concrete plan, which was met by murmurs that characterized her behavior as quite hostile and pushy. After all, this new man had just arrived, who was she to demand a plan so immediately. This made it slightly less dreadful when Xaver began to sort of sputter and flail frantically. One man swore he was spit on, and another was definitively slapped by a gesture gone awry. This all served to make everyone less certain of anything. It was into this mire of confusion that a messenger entered and exclaimed that bandits had taken Barkamsted, and those willing to fight were to rally between Waybridge and Herfordshire.

~Waybridge~

     Cortis got nominations started by nominating Dave, a motion Lork quickly seconded. This confused the hell out of the entire tavern. There were those, of course, who nominated Cortis, but after a brief speech by each candidate Dave won the election. It seemed the obvious approval Cortis had given him had pushed him in front of Cortis himself. He made promises to improve shared farming utilities, as well as a promise to construct a palisade around the village to offer it better security. As this was wrapping up a messenger arrived to rally men to fight bandits in Barkamsted.

Sorry for the missed day, I’m in a good patch now though. Two of the four areas have defined leadership now, with Barkamsted and Herfordshire needing to be determined. Also: I'm fine autoing actions, just do what origami did and it'll work out.

[wipeout1024]

Still push for a plan.
