Just a Town OOC
« on: April 07, 2019, 01:44:21 pm »

Hello fair folk. My name is Rosewood. I am a wizard.

I hear you would like to make this town a borough. While there is no ruler in this land, I have come to help you create your own charter to set up your basic rights and responsibilities to help you transform from a smattering of peasants, to an organized, safer, and prosperous lordship. Do not be concerned I wish to deceive or rule you, no. You will establish your own guilds and hold elections. Perhaps some day you may have a kingdom and expand to other lands. It is a good thing, to dream. it is the magic any peasant can cast, but it takes practice.



About:
This is a special game that is a medieval fantasy simulator. The simulation begins with nothing more than roleplaying. There are no basic gameplay mechanics, but this can quickly change. Past incarnations have created day night cycles, currency, exploration, combat, and much much more. Guilds will form around an aspect of gameplay expansion and upkeep. A player can join multiple guilds, and generally the more responsibility you take on, the wealthier and/or more powerful you become. This can serve as a light exercise to practice game hosting in a controlled environment with help, or more, or less. Though everyone will need to pull their own weight somehow. Different guilds can cooperate on similar pursuits. All it takes is someone to declare themselves a Guildmaster to form a new guild. They then create a thread and players can discuss that aspect of gameplay. Guildmembers can be promoted and assigned aspects of these responsibilities, and elect their leader. Then the guildmasters can elect the Lord to help regulate the guilds and overall game.

Sound like fun?

Glass is, as usual, correct.
Yep, as ever, I bestow upon Glass the expected +1
I'm gonna say we go with whatever Glass's idea is.

Which? Three Kingdoms(2018)? Mediva(2017)? Bay 12 Inn(2016)? Astronomicon(2015)? Western Diaries(2015)? Ratmen vs Castle Guards(2015)? Majesty Returns(2015)? Majesty Advance(2015)? (One of my older attempts offsite?)

The answer is probably, yes.

As I learned from Power Rangers, we are most powerful when we come together.

I won't be taxing people just for posting since that's not fitting for an RP thread. Instead, I'll collect based on property every real-world Sunday (until we develop our own time system). My taxes are based on a monetary system that technically hasn't been invented yet, so until that's created I suppose people can just make up how much money they have. My following tax rates describe "copper pieces," but that's just a general term for the lowest denomination.

1 copper piece per acre of land the person owes, rounded to the nearest acre
1 copper piece per week for every room of every building the person owns.

On Monday, unpaid taxes become debts and previous unpaid debts are charged 25% interest (compound).

Well, it seems currency would need to come beforehand. So you've appointed yourself as guildmaster of that. Make a topic to open up discussion on how it should be implemented.

Maple, how about you start a herbology guild. And study what plants are poisonous, and other ailments and minor afflictions might exist in the area.

I think I shall join in with this.

Cartography Guild, go.
