I remember someone mentioned that HR wouldn't be around enough to manage the HC position and HR denied that accusation saying that he would be available. Where is our HC now? we are sitting here completely stagnant on voting because HR is NOT around enough to be the HC.

Are you saying you want to start a deposition vote?

I am saying that I want to start a deposition vote. I support TrPrado as the next HC, he is online often enough to run the voting and I trust in his ability.

@TrP- I say enough of the in fighting. lets work together.

The Magistrate reminds the Council that they must accept the Elders demand for 1 Gold per Pearl or present a counteroffer


Tasks
Have the Farmer oversee Chickens
Recall the Lt of the Guard and have him defend the town (CONFLICT)
Issue formal apology to Elders
Attempt to recruit Elders as Advisors (CONFLICT)
Have the Alchemist research Medicine (CONFLICT)
Present counteroffer to Elders (undecided)
Assign 1 Game Hunter to Wheat

Policies
Add new mothers (~80) to workforce and have the Elders watch over infants (TO BE REPEALED)
Lower the age of the workforce to 12 (ENACTED)

What counteroffer plan do we go with? We can't afford the 1 Gold/Point Request.

maybe we should make it an option for the women and children to work. Say any women of children who wish to work will be compensated in extra food rations,or cloth. That way we get a few added workers and the elders can't complain about their people choosing to work. We should also offer the elders the meeting place and to fix any building or structure that the elders wish to have upgraded. Thus appealing their personal interests and letting them choose a place to be upgraded so they feel like they have a say, and can use the upgrades as a pork barrel policy to show the colonists. We shouldn't bring back the Lt and his band of guards, they should finish searching so we can get more knowledge, the alchemist should continue research into agriculture, and we should immediately begin administering our current 100 vaccines. This will accomplish: a safety net to help stave off disease, increase production from where it was last month without angering the people or elders, establish agricultural upgrades, and get us more information about the region we are in.

There is no conflict on the Elders. I'm fine with "recruiting" them, I just want to make sure they won't get offended. I want to "recruit" them respectfully.

Here, a GForm for our current conflicts. My first GForm ever, so let me know if I did something strange.

To be honest, I think this offer of the Elders is somewhat strange. They don't really value gold and are communal. We do one stupid thing, then all of a sudden they want gold. I wonder if there is not something to be done in terms of giving them our respect and then returning to the basis we were on before. Can we not right our wrongs?

It might be a good idea to cede the Town Hall to them, create a parliament of sorts. This will help in keeping the opinions of the locals visible to us, preventing us from doing rash stuff.

@CB: Please continue with making notes where you are not serious :-)

Magistrate Abge, what do you think about getting the *ADULTS* on side?

What?

*Magistrate: What?

(and Council: What?)

TMOW: I assume by Council you mean both ours and the Council of Elders.

TMOW: I also find it strange, but even more so. They want us to pay for something they find no intrinsic value in using something else they find no intrinsic value in.

Would any of the adults be willing to talk to us, bypassing the elders, Magistrate?

Magistrate: the Elders speak for the colonists.

When they are determined solely by age? It's like saying we represent the majority of our Kingdom. He wants to speak to the individuals. Though, doing so may anger a few people.

Magistrate: About what would you like to discuss with the Colonists?

Whether a few of them would be willing to take on increased responsibility and act as our ambassadors, persuading people to our side, in return for additional food and cloth, and a royal seal for recognition.

The magistrate informs the council there is not Mich time remaining and there are several tasks that need to be resoloved.

Well there is this vote to resolve the conflicts:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1AV6HH9uylhxPwztUANicIwjHgEyHMb-dVqe5wCiQzso/viewform?usp=send_form

If nobody else votes, I guess I get my way.

Oh, looks like you're not getting your way. Sorry, TMOW.

The Elders recruitment conflict seems resolved, but what specific counteroffer we're using remains undecided. 530 Plan?

That vote was honestly to get more conversation in. I honestly don't care and am willing to go with those plans

The Magistrate informs the council there is not much time remaining and there are several tasks that are still conflicting:

Tasks
Have the Farmer oversee Chickens
Recall the Lt of the Guard and have him defend the town (CONFLICT)
Issue formal apology to Elders
Attempt to recruit Elders as Advisors
Have the Alchemist research Medicine (CONFLICT)
Present counteroffer to Elders (UNDECIDED)
Assign 1 Game Hunter to Wheat
Meet with Colonists and offer them food, clothes, and a royal seal in exchange for direct loyalty to the Council


Policies
Add new mothers (~80) to workforce and have the Elders watch over infants (TO BE REPEALED)
Lower the age of the workforce to 12 (ENACTED)

We don't want to meet with all of the colonists, just a few (say, 10%) of the adult workforce.

I feel like most of our policy for this month has been establishing the counteroffer, but the only thing (most people have expressed interest at this point to leave the Lt exploring and the Alchemist keep going on Agriculture) we can't decide on (somehow the conversation has kept avoiding this the moment it's brought up) is how much gold we want to pay them.

Regarding HR's plan: Make damn sure the Elders do NOT find out about it.
