Bristol once again

Ok michaellb is once again in retreat.

He give no life sign in this council even if he is member neither in mayors room.

I have been more then patiente, he said that past thurdays all should be in order, but is not.

This is a new town and the capital, and is a ghost town there. thing really not working in the town and that is really bad and cannot continue ...

Any suggestion, because we cannot let a town die like that ...

Their is new players there with out help, with out guidance, a mayor that cannot even tell us what is missing there and understand their need.

This urgent!

What can i say, as a citizen of Bristol i'm losing all hope and really think i should have moved to the new colonies. We, Jelly and me, never saw someone in a week in the tavern, most of the citizens are dead or dying. As a councillor i cannot let this continue any further. My patience has been tested and the one from the council too. I had to ask Chardonnay to renew my grant because no one except Jelly ask for things. This is serious, everyday we have 1 militia job left, Jellysnail take my field job because no one takes it. So to put it that short, the mayor of Bristol is mostly inactive, do not know how to run a town because he didn'T request any items to the TM except bread when he first went into retreat, he still lend 25 axes which is unnecessary, and since he's the town mentor the mentor is inactive. Plus add the fact that he is a county councillor and no one saw him post since the time he posted in the public council forum

I asked for a sanctionned revolt please, i'm desperate here and at this rate i consider to move to a new colony when one will be open again to flee this deserted town

I will vote for a sanctioned revolt in Bristol. The town needs someone to help give it life, and michaelb is doing anything but that.

This may be urgent enough that we should vote on it directly.

Three sanctioned revolts in one week.

What does that tell England of Somerset?

Somerset is in chaos. There is not very much communication. Too much secrecy and not enough transparency.
No one posts the town info or the markets anymore.

There needs to be more organization and communication.

In spite of that I agree something needs to be done in Bristol.

In addition to all that has been said it is also affecting the mines.
The total workers have fallen off the past few days from what they were.
Bath and GC are producing the worker numbers they had before Bristol was opened and the capacities increased.
Certainly there are enough LVL 0s being produced to fill both those mines.

This is serious for the county especially with the upgrading of the Bath mine 3 levels. It is costing the county money.

The mayor is the guiding force of the town and needs to direct all the level 0s to work the mines and save to level up and get a field.
This needs to be done expediently so Bristol can begin to thrive and start producing for itself.

Yes, I agree to replacing the current mayor and correcting this situation immediately.

Allikath somehow i agree with you. I will do my part and post Bristol market. The communication need to be remade true. We are going through a crisis those colonies/counties took many of the experienced and active players. Let's start on those issues one by one and not rush anything. Let's deal with Bristol and we can work on another problem right after this one is fixed

I agree with Chardonnay

michaellb shoud be removed of office

but Allikath has a point we do need more organization and communication

For the main issue, i agree also to have a revolt in Bristol, simply this Somerset Citizen is not enough capable to lead this town, now at the begining of Bristol existance , and we all know what this mean, especcially with all these newcomers who need a guide.

Allikath, dont be like that, we are in a period of changes, we needed first of all a new TM to know what is doing, this was more than neccesary than what people think of Somerset and revolt at Bridgewater afte that.
I will remind you that this came with SAS action, part of a drill also, the first one we had in our chronicles ,and we had to do it cause autobuy was open and managment was neccesary.
As for Bath ,the same situation, cause Citizens wanted a Mayor after Rosallyn left.

Bristol want bad an active Mayor, do we have to look what people will think when we are loosing there Citizens without guideness ? i think you will not agry to that.

It is not good for the game also.....

Milady, our job is not to please England as a whole, our job is to ensure the best for Somerset. If we please England, that is secondary, our primary focus is for the betterment of Somerset, and an idiot like Michaellb should not be a mayor, especially when he leaves thrice in a 30 day term without notice.

I vote, as i did last time, for immediate revolt against Michaellb and maybe even a charge of abuse of power against him as he clearly abusing his position for political gain. He simply wants to be able to say he's a councillor and mayor to satisfy his own ego, as seen by the fact that he moved his RP wife to Bristol to in effect RIG the election so he would win. I would like to charge him with abuse of power as he is clearly neglecting his citizens in Bristol and the citizens of Somerset as well that he has been elected to serve simply for his own political gain, this is abuse of power at its worst. I will ask this body for the oppinion before I charge him however.

So will we have a vote soon?.. i would like to see this town up and running for the first time since it's creation

I agree with Kelian. What England as a whole thinks of Somerset is secondary to our having the county in good working order. Giangio has done a good job with Bath, and Lord_Justinan with BW. Now our focus must be on getting our capital into a functional state, and making Somerset a more enjoyable place for our newcomers.

To that end, the sooner we can rid Bristol of an inactive mayor, and replace him with someone who shows that he cares about the public life of his or her town and county, the better off all Somerset will be.

I call for a vote on sanctioning either rebellion or army action in Bristol to replace MichealB as mayor.

Just to add to the "fun" of this situation in Bristol here is my event for today
04-06-2007 04:12 : A revolt attempt took place in front of the town hall, and you helped subdue it. During the brawl, you recognized Mesanaw% among the assailants.

I must mention i mailed LJS about hmn being a cloner.. here is the result

Mesanaw is about to be ERADICATED.

His Grace told me he will message him to ask that he resign if he do not comply he will put up a vote but to be honest i prefer a sanctionned revolt. Bristol suffered enough by now and if we revolt, i would like the use of the army to help us because i won't be able to find enough citizens to help.

It's hard to get a response from someone who's in retreat. And we need to act more precipitately in my opinion.

I second Ellsbeth's motion.

Well he's not in retreat anymore but since no one see him around neither in the Bristol taverns, mayor chamber or even here consider him uninterested to do his 2 positions.

I too second Ellsbeth's motion

Dralon,

GC is one days march from Bristol.

I propose Captain Bellos assigns Corporal Loxley and his squad to deploy to Bristol and assist you in the revolt.
Loxley is active and eager and they are fairly new players so their CH shouldn't be a factor.

He could leave after this reset if we can get the vote done by then.

I too can leave for Bristol after reset if needed.

If we have one revolt i suggest tomorrow. I am chief marchal and clicked defend a bit earlier since no vote was up. Tomorrow i will wait 20 mins before reset to see if we have a decision made

Loxley is not in GC he is in Chard he is doing a bit of traverlling

Yes, I see that, Thank You.

I can be there too if needed.

It's not really about the sanctionned revolt but i want to give the council an update of the Bristol citizens situation. I went through the entire list of Bristol here are the current stats.

Total number of people currently in Bristol: 162
Total of visitors: 9
Total in retreat: 13 (all level 0)
Total of Dead: 125
Total of Active player: 15

ps: No players are dying currently. All those active log in each day for the moment.

Those numbers are terrible, so for those that are wondering why the mines numbers are so low do now look very far. Also for security reason i'm posting this iformation only here, each day at least 1 militia job is not taken and today it's currently 2. So if an organised group like WoS come to Bristol they can take the town easily without much resistance.
