Keep them at home so they cant gossip or spread lies about you. Make sure the editor of all three outlets is a personal friend and gets on well with Steven and Justin; even better if they all went to the same school/lodge/university/golf club. Who is providing the grub to your villagers? Bring in one of those retailing giants so that the butcher, grocer, bakers and florists have to shut down and then ensure that they get jobs at the retail giant and on minimum wage and tell them to be bloody grateful. You've got a lot of work to do to keep them troublesome folk in touch.

If only so that I can award myself more money and God-like status.<br /><br />One son is in charge of the enforcers, and the other collects the dosh and oversees the gaolings. Bonus! I now have several dozen villagers working for 12 pence a day in the gaol. I have them manufacturing stuff for the guy in charge two villages down from me.<br /><br />He has a daughter too. Not exactly a "10", but I will make sure my boy marries her anyway. It will strenghthen trade ties with that other village.<br /><br />The villagers will be happy with my tax increase to cover the wedding, the honeymoon, the new mansion and the 30 or 40 staff needed to wait on them hand and foot.<br /><br />This tax increase, like all the others, will remain in place forever. That community jar won't fill itself.<br /><br />CR.Captain Rantyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07839241144954596066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271194216217582823.post-9317483518001011762010-12-05T10:58:41.920+00:002010-12-05T10:58:41.920+00:00King when you havin a Royal Weddin?King when you havin a Royal Weddin?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271194216217582823.post-91029022579015297032010-12-05T10:43:20.382+00:002010-12-05T10:43:20.382+00:00This is excellent - even if depressingly true.This is excellent - even if depressingly true.Woodsy42https://www.blogger.com/profile/12355671210161625647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271194216217582823.post-90863871809830039902010-12-05T10:32:28.956+00:002010-12-05T10:32:28.956+00:00Brilliant capt.Brilliant capt.Jacobitenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271194216217582823.post-2700912392618400672010-12-05T10:23:00.996+00:002010-12-05T10:23:00.996+00:00*applauds*
