New Years Resolution Contest

This year I promise NOT to buff my workyards with fish food or musk deer fragrance...I will feed them a balanced diet with Aunt Irma's Gift Baskets!

My Settlers have proclaimed the following New Year’s Resolutions;
To balance all the production lines of the island.
To build and train the strongest Army possible to protect and defend,
To clear the home island of unwanted pests, bandits, and their leaders,
To complete as many Adventures as possible,
And my New Year’s Resolution is to help my settlers meet their resolutions!

in 2013, I will make my settlers walk faster! And run more adventures.

The settlers on my island have all resolved to find a way to get more wheat from those medium wheat fields.

The following letter was recently passed to me from a group calling itself "The Settlers". The letter is a list of formalized intentions, actions to carry out, in the coming year.

While the numbers involved in the group are not known, they appear to represent many, if not all, of the various mercantile groups present on "The Island".
My only desire if for harmonious relations to continue in our land, but since I lack the authority to instate the changes listed, I entreat your aid and assistance

The letter reads as follows...

"While we recognize your just leadership of the people and various mercantile endeavors, we believe now is the time to bring about the following changes for the coming year:

Slower wood chopping production rates so that we have the time to use our hand to flip wood and not kick it. We are experiencing record numbers of worker related injuries due to this method.

More thoughtful use of recruits in our ongoing battles with bandit camps. Records show high mortality rates among their numbers simply so that other “more important” troops are saved from any contact with the enemy. We cannot expect recruitment rates to be maintained at the current 1 brew rate with the current losses.

Ability to put into production all the iron resources in sector 5 as well as the marble resources in sector 1. Increased use of unpaid overtime is currently being used to maintain production levels. What was once seen as the rare event with use of unpaid overtime is now taken as expected and understood without verbalization.
We desire a system of roads allowing for direct travel from resource to store house. As it stands now, we must traverse the land in the most direct route available. We must often go through dense forests and boggy fields, while also having to cross over the geological formations paving the way.

While this is not all of our desired changes in the new year, we are resolute in seeing the above issues addressed.

The Settlers”

As is plainly read, I lack the ability to carry out their demands and greatly wish your assistance in the matter.

Your most humble servant,

My new year resolution, is to train my Archer to attack first, to save my fellows settlers.

My settlers resolve to vary their diets more away from bread, sausage, beer, and fish.

My resolution is to level 40 this year and improve my economy .

My resolution is to get a real job.

It was a dark and stormy night.

The settlers had received some very nice gifts, they even saw Santa, or so some declared.

But then….

As the new year approached, they knew it was time for some changes,

As the wind blew and the snow poured down, they decided…..

This next year ends with the lucky 13, so why not? 13 new adventures!! That’s what they need!!! How better to recruit the young soldiers, willing to risk their lives, for a taste of destiny!!

And also, they hoped and prayed, that the overlords would back off a bit. Some of the overlords have been newly appointed by the king, they take their assignments seriously, as they should. But sometimes they miss the forest for the trees. The community gathers to pray that the overlords will come to understand their roles, and provide assistance rather than punishments to the lowly settlers who have been entrusted to their care.

The snowfall slows….the deer begin to return….the wheat fields turn green with the hint of spring to come…..the settlers know this will be a great year.;)
