Morning Guys

I am a bit fucked off atm so I apologise now if this seems a tad negative.

What? I ask you, is the fucking point of working our bollox off and getting skills if the fucking city can't be registered on the fucking map until it reaches township (rank 3 and 35 citizens)??

The skill box doesn't mention any requirements so I have effectively wasted 1000xp and 1000 creds on a skill that is worthless to us for at least a week.

As a result we really need to consider our recruiting policy now. Do we accept neutral members with a view to them going rebellion (within a deadline perhaps?) Maybe sponsor them for membership and then tell them that if they go rebel we will accept them into the guild?

I just cannot believe it took a week and all that mucking about last night.

At least I can manage some fuckin militia and we can set taxes now so I think we need to have a guild vote as to whether we want to all tip 2500cr per week to treasury in city hall or whether we want to implement taxes on the structures in the city. This will be unfair on multiple structure holders - but I don't want some of the non guild affiliated equipment factories in the city limits . . . The only way to get these moved is to tax all structures highly until the people who own them move them. .

I dunno ..

Right now I feel like this whole city thing is a waste of time - we probably would have been better off moving into an existing rebel city.

tbh i think youre gonna have to start taxing. Being a city its gonna be natural that some joining will not want to join the pa but just live in the "safe" confines of our wonderous abode. Id say let neutrals join out city.

So the taxes pay for the city hall and other city ammineties and the guild members will still have to /tip however much for the pa hall.


dont worry about taxing just stick a notice in the basement of the city hall for all to see.. what you mean we dont have a basement ? ... exactly

Thats a bit poo

Tbh m8 35 is doable, then we will be proper bo

Make people who u trust militia, then everyone who can grant zoning rights, stick and advert for citizens in their bio, with the WP and people to /tell

Its all about pimping our sweet asses.

I dont think we should give up on the city now, seeing its looking pretty sweet and the interest its attaining from outsiders.

Lets move the frigging city up North. Its far too laggy. I can't imagine how much business our vendors are losing due to the horrendous lag during peak hours.

Moving the city = destroying the current city hall and buying a new one.

I am not sure if we're up for that.

tax, its the only fair way to do it

THe problem with Tax is that do you do Citizen Tax? Property Tax? Or Sales Tax?

The only fair way to do it imo is to ask for a citizen tax of 2k per week. This way people with multiple buildings don't get fucked over. Bear in mind our guild hall will cost a hell of alot to maintain if we whack a property tax on it.

We should maybe whack a property tax on if we need to get rid of harvesters and factories that are still within city limits. If we do that however - it will punish our crafters and guild hall placers which I don't think is fair.

a citizen tax seems fair.. If a person wants to live in our city they will have to pay their civil taxes.

yeah citizen tax then, enough to cover the city hall maintenance, obviously we'd have to let everyone know this will increase as we place more city structures. I'm quite happy to chuck some cash in now and then like we have been doing for other stuff.

Guild members need to pay extra for the pa hall maintenance, we'll have to work out how much it is each week/month.
