This is not a recruitment thread. We are looking for enterprising and individualistic people or groups looking to discover or rediscover the game, or just moving from a less peaceful region.
If you want to progress and grow rich through cooperation and trade with your neighbours, but don’t necessarily want to group up and just be a cog in the machine of a large village, this could be interesting to you.
Heres what we will offer:
1. We will provide you some starting curios and equipment, and when you are ready, the materials to build a palisade cornerpost.
2. When you are ready, we can provide a pickaxe for mining and half the materials to build a minehole, if required. The reason we don’t provide all the materials is that you should probably get used to gathering (or trading for) stuff yourself if you want to get into this game.
3. We will also be willing to trade with you for other stuff you may require, for stuff you can gather.
4. The area is pretty safe but we will track and attempt to get justice if anything happens to you or your property. As a rule we prefer negotiation to settling things violently.
5. The area has natural resources like swamps and mountains, although you will largely grow out of them once you start mining etc.
6. We will put you in contact with other settlers in case you want to cooperate to progress faster, or even live together. Our hope is that everyone who settles here will quickly be able to largely catch up with us and join us in providing items 1-4 to new settlers.
You are free to do whatever you want, although if you are going to adopt a life of crime we (and other settlers) might try and kill you or not particularly care if you get killed.
To “factions”: The goal of this is not to harm anyone or even exert power over them (more than is necessary for mutual freedom) but to grow peacefully, hopefully those of you who remember me know that is pretty much what I’ve done in the past. I hope that whoever settles here can have friendly relations with everyone. If anyone has any sensible suggestions then of course I’d listen.
To "spies": There really isn't anything worth spying on, and I don't particularly care who knows where it is, the openness is the most important thing: so don't feel like you've done something clever
