Exploration

• if you dont know by now there was a nether biome found so feel free to PM me for coords and take a trip there, nether wart is still needed because i couldn't find any on my first trip.

Economy

• i have been thinking over the last few days and i am mulling over some ideas and looking for feedback so feel free to debate them or make suggestions. they may or may not all be going in but these are the ideas...

• taxes ill be starting soon, the tax system was put off at the beginning so we could build up wealth. the way i was thinking about it is there would be a tax on shop plots, the exact price is up for debate but i was thinking either a percentage of profits or just a couple iron a month at first and it may go up as wealth in the city goes up.

• the plots will cost money to buy starting soon, likely whenever taxes start, im thinking 10 iron is a decent starting price for plots that may go up as we go.

• shopping district plots should also cost something to set up.

• i was thinking about having a small fee on the public farm, maybe like 1/8th of the wheat harvested going to the government.

• all these taxes and policies would allow for the government to be able to provide more for the public and be stronger overall

• once you own a housing plot its yours and you can keep the profit if you sell it, however if you are inactive for over a month (other than special unavoidable circumstances) you lose the plot and it becomes the property of the city to sell

• when you buy a shopping plot if you sell it part of the revenue from that would be taken as a tax.

City planning

• we still have a little work on roads to be done but its not urgent that it gets finished, im very happy with that progress so far.

• im thinking we should build uniform shops in the shopping district that people could rent so that there is some form or organization to it and we have equal sized shop plots as well as a n exact number of shops to try fill. also it would make selling the buildings themselves easier if a shop shut down or moved.

Theif reports

someone stole from kooleo as well as other reports of crops being harvested, the main suspect is GMjaxy who i know irl and is a newfriend who means no harm, he just has no clue what hes doing. i will try contact him to see if it is him and will explain to him that he cant do that and has to stop and return everything... if its not him we have a problem on our hands, but until its proven to not be him i wouldnt panic.

however it might still be good to get the town guard organized armored up and practicing on civ pvp.

Edit it was GMjaxy, like i said hes new and used to factions servers and looting and things like that so he didnt know what he was doing, hes returning everything he took and it wont happen again. nothing to worry about.
