Brodgar!

[theTrav]

I know a lot of people must be wanting to get their hands on some copper so they can make chests, basements, etc.

We're still discussing disbursement of the metal that comes from the mines. Worth noting is that I'm trying to keep tabs on who is helping us most with setting up the city. Obviously they are going to be put on the front of the payment queue. Brodgar is not a socialist town (despite having a few shared resources) and is most likely going to try to work it in terms of payment (in coin) for labor and materials.
It'll probably be a number of coins (certainly less than a bar) per cloth contributed with the option of converting 100 coins to a bar from the treasury.

If you contribute to the cloth fund, make sure you mention it to either myself, Yolan or Laramere via PM on the forums so we can keep track. I'll try to have a few different banner construction sites around the outside, make sure you build materials into them so they can't be nicked

What do you think about a Brodgar's dedicated forum? It could be difficult to manage all the city activities in one thread, and a forum could be very usefull.

why don't you let them pick and smelt their own instead?

[Devour]

why don't you let them pick and smelt their own instead?

Probably because mines are very small at the moment.

[PhaedrothSP]

Because the path to the mine is very long and dangerous, unless you want to risk the travel through rivers and mordor, you're better off working.

21 Linen cloths, what I get? :O

[Laremere]

As in you have 21 Linen cloths, or you added 21 Linen cloths to banners?

Also, we need a few more banners started (you only really need a stick to start them...), and It'd be nice if the west gate had a little "remove the privilege" action.

If you look up a page or two, I actually make that offer. However, you need to have good industry for it to be worth while, as well as the constitution to cross a 6 square river. That crosses a lot of people out.

ATTENTION ALL RESIDENTS OF BRODGAR:

After waiting about a week, it seems that we have received all the input we are likely to get at this stage for the ten oaths. I therefore present to you a new draft, modified in response to some comments.

If you are a resident/citizen of Brodgar, PLEASE VOTE by responding either 'AYE' or "NAY'. If two thirds of Brodgarians are in support, I will consider these oaths enacted. They are to be our bedrock guide for the future development of a civil society, and a great city.

OK, I have had about four or five 'AYES' so far. Can I get a few more responses from you guys? I want the explicit affirmation of as many residents as is possible before I announce this as passed into law.

In addition to this, if you've already voted and see someone in town, mention it to them, and encourage them to get online and have their say.
FOR DEMOCRACY!
