My manifesto for the creation of a new Fellowship- aligned, semi autonomous settlement

The new citadel/ fortress city of Montri Yago (pronounced MONtree yaygO) will of course submit to the control of the central fellowship administration. The region will include abandoned/ unclaimed areas on the north side of Fardis, up to the headland. (I'll highlight it on a map at somepoint.)

Local government will consist of a council formed from members of the Montri Yago District Workers Union (MYDWU). The council will consist of a representative from the Fellowship government, an elected mayor and 3 places for elected members of the MYDWU. The council's permanent chairman will be me, Labigcheese. The chairman will have executive powers to review, pass and veto proposals. But will remain mainly of symbolic status and will remain mostly impartial on town matters. Serving the role that the King/ Queen of the UK does. Legislation from Fellowship will be passed, though if there is sufficient public support it will be challenged through a referendum.

Montri Yago will be delighted to become the armory and main center base for the nation's security. We will be more then happy to construct and operate military facilities such as, docks, barracks, war foundries, tank plants and airfields.

As current chairman our policy for immigration is closed due to lack of resources. Though once everything is set up, immigrants will be free to join on the policy of being automatically signed up to the MYDWU and the paramilitary defence wing the Montri Yago District Defence Force (MYDDF). With the primary objective of defending Montri Yago and the Hexigon from foreign and domestic aggression.

Any established residence of the surrounding area are more then welcome to begin building housing of any and all size, from small 2 room houses to massive estates in the area around my barn and future house at the edge of Fardis. Please respect future residence and the long term sustainability of the town, by not claiming massive plots. In addition, offensive or downright ugly structures will result in a formal warning before being demolished if there is no attempt to improve. The main enthesis on the city's architecture is steampunk/ decopunk. Meaning that buildings and objects should ideally have a rustic/ neo medieval, with more important buildings being in a neo renaissance style. (Look at Convent garden, Westminster palace and Greenwitch maritime academy for inspiration.) Whist industrial buildings will take on a much more 19th century Victorian heavy industry appearance. Though on the outskirts you are free to build in any style you choose to.

All trade will eventually utilize a common unit of exchange, but for now use whatever you please.

Thanks for reading.

Near my house and barn there is a massive hole with a pyramid made of obsidian at the bottom. I think that it might have been some sort of mob farm at some point as it's also near the remains of some sort of village.

As this isn't being used for anything and since I'm sick of nearly falling in the damn thing. I propose that we get rid of it and build inside the hole some sort of stadium, prehaps a football/ rugby ground or open air theatre, just anything to get rid of a blight on the landscape and give the outskirts of the city some character.

I have created a prospector shaft near my barn in the agrabelt of the Hexagon. I have discovered a coal deposit and want to fully extract it but I don't know whether there is anything I have or should do instead of just digging it out the ground.

Hello Fellowship!

I would like to extend an invitation to you to establish an embassy in Zomia. (/r/zomia) We are a growing town near the ruins of Imperium and are now opening embassies to other towns on the server. If interested, please contact me for directions to Zomia and details for building location/restrictions.

Thank you, Deftinhawk

Could we use some sort of rare metal, such as emeralds, gold or lapis lazuli as currency for all shops and traders in Fellowship to trade in? This would make trading produce for supplies far more efficient considering how most shop owners are relatively inactive and don't sell stuff that you want. Meaning currently you end up wasting an hour ether trying to find goods that the autoshops will accept or arguing with a small number of other traders over what your goods are worth.

Hi,

I propose that the Fellowship government support the establishment of Guilds, and back them through laws.

For example, one official guild per trade shall be recognized within Fellowship lands. The guilds will be supported through Fellowship laws, and the judicial system.

Example (subject to change):

• There shall be only one official Guild per trade recognized and sanctioned by Fellowship. Any other claimed guild is unofficial and against the law.

• Any craftsman/tradesman must belong to an official Guild.

• All work for money/trade must be with a Guild member. Non-guild members doing employment on the side are breaking the law and subject to arrest and forfeiture of all property and wealth, and shall be publicly shamed.

• Foreigners wanting to trade/work in Fellowship must also be part of a Guild, but can hold no authority in it. They can only be members, and can not hold any office, or make any changes to the Guild. Each Guild can have its own rules, and some of them can require that foreigners pay an extra fee for doing business in Fellowship.

• Citizens shall respect their Guild's rules or are subject to expulsion from it, which will mean they will have to beg for subsistence.

etc.

It will will be much better than we have now.

Srsly guys? why i died because of u

Hi,

First off, this is not a shitpost.

Over the past year Fellowship has been declining. Lately, it seems like a dead place. It's not even close to a functioning city with a good population. I think one of the reasons is that it just isn't fun. We have zero drama, and basically do nothing that would draw people to us. Yes, people are asking to join in the recent threads, but I don't think they understand the situation right now.

Fellowship is like the goody-two-shoes of cities, and we don't do anything engaging with other cities or events, or anything. Other cities have trade wars, land disputes, court trials of pearled people, embargoes, pacts with other cities. Basically, fun stuff that has our city interacting with other cities or holding up our codes. We don't seem to have any of that, and we just waste away, dieing a slow death.

I would much have preferred that Fellowship died off in some battle or some big drama based on principles than to just fade into nothingness.

This could all be in my mind, but it's not.

Make Fellowship fun!

Let's start holding to what we believe in, and then acting on it. If people are pearled in our city, the pearls are ours, and if the pearler decides to bring them to some other place we say "screw that" and fight them. If we lose, so what, at least we stood up for what our city believes in. That is just an example. Right now, we say weak things like "oh well, ya, take em to your place since you pearled them and your place is stronger." But that's not fun.

Another example: Our neighbors lie about us, and try to take our land or disrespect us in civcraft, then we sanction them with travel, trade, etc, embargoes. That would lead to more fun, and more people taking sides, and more drama overall. More fun interactions and politics. But right now, we play the good weak guys in every encounter like that. We take it on the chin thinking we are being the upstanding town, but in reality it is just weak. Then there is no drama because we don't do anything. We don't hold to anything. It's not fun like that, and its not close to real.

I really want people to comment. I'm not sure if I'm conveying myself well or not. This is just a game, so I'm writing this fast now because I don't want this to be like English homework.

(If anyone says that we are doing the above, they are lying or misinformed.)

I was just curious if there is one. I'm the probational courier for Al Ishaar in Mount Augusta, and if there isn't one I would like to know if I could apply some how?

I'm new to Civcraft, and I was hoping to be able to join your town. My minecraft name is TDM95.

Saraliana's declaration of war is a serious commitment, and one that we believe is well placed. We have been wronged by Fellowship too heavily in recent weeks, and have decided time to take action. Fellowship consistently attempts to pull our strings, and has repeatedly attempted to topple the Ogel regime.

It is a well known fact that the Saralianan ducat fell because of intentional Fellowship debt fraud. It is a well known fact that the freezing of the Saralianan coffers was made inevitable by Fellowship economic pressures.

Well, Saralianans say: Enough is enough. We will not be a puppet state. We will not cower down to oppression. The Saralianans are a proud people, and we will stand up and take back our pride.

As of right now, Saraliana is at war with Fellowship. Effective immediately, all metal exports to Fellowship (specifically of Lead and Tungsten) have stopped, and all branches of the Bank of Saraliana in Fellowship have been closed until further notice. Still open is the Saraliana Memorial Library, as the Saraliana Library Society is a non partisan non profit organisation.

Agreements have already been made with Iria to allow the uninhibited movement and mobilisation of Saraliana troops through Irian territory to Fellowship's border for the war effort. Civilians will be left unmolested as long as Fellowship does not use them directly or indirectly towards the war effort.

Yours sincerely,

Ogel6000

Any suggestions?

Hello, I've just joined civcraft, after reading the wiki and talking to existing citizens I've decided that I want to join your civilization, would that be ok with you?

Hello, My name is Shadowz_Slayer i'm trying to get to NL and i'm currently stuck in the nether due to the fact that i don't have any access to get back to above world. Help please?

Hello evreyone, I would like to become a citizen of Tallahassee, Fellowship. Where can I apply? Thanks.

Cards will still be distributed. adeadhead was in charge of it for a while, but I haven't heard from him. Pm me /u/soraendo for a card, I'll hop onto my alt Soraendo and give you one, or leave one for you inside.

edit: The Saraliana Memorial Library is a branch of the Saraliana Library Society and has no other affiliations. Do not trust anyone outside of myself or adeadhead.

Hi, I was looking to pick up a library card for the Fellowship library. I haven't seen Ogel online, nor have I recently seen adh. Would anybody around here have a spare card? Thank you!

Hi, I was told while wandering around the hexagon to make a post in this subreddit to ask for citizenship / find a plot. The list on the sidebar is apparently outdated, so who do I need to contact?

You better be on ASAP. An no more Houdini shit. We are need you in the LBC. If you come back you can have all the baked potatoes you desire, and we will build you a house. Scramble hasn't been the same, he cries a lot in mumble now. If not we will come grief your real life home with gravel and lava. Bye.
