Bristol preparedness and loan plan

The Bristol preparedness program:
We will ensure that the County is prepared to provide Bristol with all the tools necessary for proper growth. This will include essentials such as bread, corn, meat, fish, fruit, wood, flour, iron being provided to the town by county agents. It will also include a loan program as stated earlier. For proper defense of our county capital, we shall ensure a strong marshal force there always.

Get a jumpstart on life:
A full scale interest free loan program from the county. These will be initiated through town halls. The legal corpus will be revised to include provisions for the same. This will especially come into focus when Bristol is created, when level 1s from other towns will be encouraged to move to Bristol and be given loans to become level 2s in Bristol.

These are excerpts from the PATRONS campaign from last term's elections. With the King announcing that the capitals are coming next week, time to get it passed and working.
I will post a new Book 4 on Contracts and Loans as well in the private chambers soon, to go hand in hand with this.

This is also what i suggest when i was still patron.

Is the best way to populate the capital and have a good security there.

I just don't put it in election platform last time and this time because admin are so slow to create something and i prefer to stay at the essential.

Also my book 4 is finish after over 8 month that great

How many abandon the idea, only you sajan keep working on it all this time many thanks.

No, I didnt take the entire Book, its too much. I just took some essential parts, and its not finished. I will post it tomorrow.

I will assume a presence in Bristol because i'm moving there. With the council aprobation i can assume the role of county agent of Bristol at the beginning. I will open a tavern, buy my workshop, my field and i can assume the chief marshal position in the first days too until we find new people to do the job. And i'll run for mayor to prevent any new player or outsider to take the job and with 4 months of experience as mayor i should be able to get the town on the right track.

Ok loan program for Bristol creation.

Well first we need to limit the number of loan, preparing a contract, and aslo include an article about what kind of shop and field can be take, so we can stabilize the capital with only 200 field.

It's a way to let choice to people but some limit need to be put at least to the one accepting the loan so the town will be more stable in level 2 shop and field.

What do you think ?

Aye, thats the plan.

We need 1 baker, 2 millers, 1 butcher immediately, and then 1 blacksmith. After that, we can aim for 1 weaver and 1 carpenter, but at the same time, try to get 2 more bakers and 2 more millers and perhaps 1 more butcher

That is how I went about town management of level 2s when Bath was created and I became the first mayor there. The aim should always be balance of production, and meeting the demands.

So for 1 baker, we need 1.2 millers production daily, or we need 12 wheat bags daily. Assuming an average yield of 8 bags every 10 days for a wheat field, we would need 15 wheat fields to sustain one baker. That will have to go up to 45 wheat fields required when we get 3 bakers.

Of course we can always use corn as a substitute, so we basically balance it out with around 30 corn fields.

So once we have wheat and corn fields settled, we can go to pigs/cows for the meat. Vegetables can be added side by side, but not too many, since charisma wont be in huge demand when the newcomers arrive. They would need more bread, corn and meat than anything else.

remove the butcher needed (me) Jelly will probably be Baker. Oh and can you leave place for mayor improvisation in this i love to improvise

I am moving today will be there at reset. Consider giving me the county grant today if possible. Oh and one thing can the council declare a temporary stop to any trader to sell goods in Bristol. I don't want to see that town became the dump in absence of a mayor in the first days. After that the town counci willl decide what to do with it that decision.

Oh by the way i'll go for pigs for my butcher or cows for my workshop.

Oh and can i apply for a loan

Can the council send me the county grant for Bristol? I am the only one there with Sajan at the moment.

If Bristol is short on bread, Bridgewater has a good quantity available, a bequest from Praisebob.

Happy to hear it, and take care.

If Bristol need anything just ask

To help Bristol to grow faster I wonder if we can has county give 100 pounds to any citizens that decide to move there?

Is that a good idea or bad?

Maybe we will have problem with new players, as they might stop playing after some days....
You know how it goes, if you dont want to pay the risk, then make a restriction at least to be active every day for a week or something.....

It is up to you to decide, in all i am for to help them a little to level faster, one option is not the first field, this is quiet easy to gain after a week.

Maybe some stat food cheap there, granted or something , it is the same thing if you see it, cause the stat food is what keeping all so long to Level 1.

Think all the options, but with some cheap food in the market, offer by the County, or even better to put it there the Mayor after a mail contact with the Citizen ( not to have problems with traveling merchants ) it would be a good option.

I think this is a bad idea.

That is a lot of money to offer noobies and may draw the wrong sort.
They may move from Bristol after they receive their reward.

Bristol's own new players have to be cultivated and grow into productive level ones.
They previously had no guidence, now they do.

We also have the county loan program. If level ones want to move there we can help them with the sale of their own field so they can move.

Just throwing money at a problem is never a good idea and comes back to bite you.

Except for a blacksmith because of the blunted axes, we are doing fine, has long we have a steady flow of flour and other goods coming from our great TM the town will be ok.

I will prepare a report with the help of Jellysnail but from our observations and current activity in our market so far so good

Also 1st day 100% for me, i must give that Michaellb didn't log in for a day so didn't vote.. he logged today in but his status show dead

I don't talk about noobies. I talk about player that are other town and ready to move in Brsitol and will be limited by the number of field still available there.

Is to help them get level 2

Under those conditions, I would support this program, as I share Councilor Allikath's concerns about loaning to level zero's

How can you tell, wasn't he already?

I see the mine workers are up slightly too in the gold mines.

I would support a proposal to grant 100 pounds to Level 1 and 2 players who move to Bristol, but I believe that the contract should contain a clause prohibiting them from moving for some amount (60? 90?) days, or the grant would be rescinded, and would have to be repaid to the county.

Maybe level 2s but definitely not level 1s.

Level 1s need to be developed from the citizens of Bristol.

lt'S forget that they will be no more field available by the time we decide something

As i will be future mayor of Bristol, we have 2 days left and i still have 100%, i do not mind. I know that we can manage without level 2 at the moment if the county can continue to support our needs. Of course actives level 1 and 2 are welcome but except for maybe a miller and a smith i do not see the need for other level 2 at the moment. I'm for this proposal but i think we can achieve the same thing through the new loan program we are voting on.

Thank You!
