All yeomen who partake in the activation will be listed as village members. And, please note that unlike most MMOs, H&H will not allow you to arbitrarily join and leave communities. Joining and leaving in game communities are all very much game actions. The lawspeaker will have the ability to 'Exile' village members, but this will draw on a as of yet unannounced village resource. Village members will be able to leave the village after 'Voicing Dissent' a number of times. Voicing Dissent will, however, hurt the village as a whole. At the moment, the village can not extend its membership beyond the founding five, but this will change with the next update.
Also, the village is only the first and most basic community. We hope to implement several forms of government and community organization further down the line.
