Introduction

Well folks, its the end of the week, and my my, hasn’t it been a busy week?

This week saw several new buildings being introduced into Vekaro, employment opportunities, city laws and legislations and much much more!

So lets begin!

Alteration of existing structures.

Within the last week we decided that some of our buildings weren’t big enough, or simple weren’t good enough! One of these buildings was the town’s tavern, a few blocks later, a redo of parts of the roof and poof, done. More room, nicer looking and able to hold a couple dozen more people.

Aswell as that we altered a few townhouses, making them more nicer on the inside, fixed some exterior work and removed the graveyard next to mount august (All previous bodies were moved below Kvaz to fertilize the soil!)

Additional Buildings

Yep! We decided to add a few more buildings to our beautiful city, mainly to provide more role play for people who wish to role play their characters role, these buildings include…

Lumbermill

The building that players can roleplay slicing their wood, craft new items such as staircases, store their wood and eventually sell it!

Jewellery Shop

In our newest district to the city, known as the “Market District” we added a Jewellery shop, so that players can buy their in game wives necklesses and rings to show their love and support (wives… they cost too much money.) Or, just to buy something for yourself! All items brought at the shop are personalised too! You can buy yourself an emerald ring, a diamond ring and much more!

Bakery

“Let me guess, somebody stole your sweetroll?”

I’m not sure about most you people out there, but I love it when players have their own personalised breads and pumpkins pies and such… it makes a town unique in a way, fancy a sweetroll? The Bakery sells it!

 

With more than a dozen types of baked items to choose from, i’d highly recommend visiting the towns bakery for all your pastry needs!

Gambling Den

I’ve noticed whilst passing the tavern on a few occasions that some people have taken an interest to gambling, though I agree a tavern is a fitting place for such a thing. I want to take it further, after talking to Eddythebrave (a person who, on numerous occasions run such a “buisiness”) it was decided we’d create a gambling den for folks wanting to throw away their mina, so head on over there as soon as you can folks! And be sure to read what games are available to play in there!

Hovels and houses

With the increasing amount of interest we’ve decided to build several more houses and hovels, just remember to pay your taxes and remain active folks!

(Note: If all houses are sold, you may have to wait until one comes available or more are built, unfortunately we can’t just boot people out of their houses. Family homes can be built on request, but will cost you a sum of mina.)

As mentioned above, the city has taken a huge interest, which is why I am charging a sum of two hundred mina per house, along with weekly tax, this is so that people don’t randomly buy a house, run off elsewhere and use their house within Vekaro as a storage area.

Fishermans wharf

After removing the statue and about a million pumpkins within the lake, I said to myself “Hey, lets not leave this to waste!” and when I woke up in the morning, I saw that Youlovesocks was thinking along my lines and built a fishermans hut and wharf, so folks, grab your fishing rods. We’re going on a fishing trip!

Tourny Grounds

It’s here! With the lands we took in Solem, Solum. What ever it was called, we decided it was in our best interests to create a tounrament grounds. This will most likely be used by the order of the Decterum, but will also be used for spectacles in the near future. (G-Gladiators!)

Regarding chest shops.

Now folks, I hate that I have to do this but this is for the beneficial of RP. I am putting an OOC ban on almost all chest shops within the city as I feel it gets rid of the role play aspect, we’ve all seen people casually run into a town, buy a ton of iron, run to a craft table and boom, set of iron armor, a sword, six pickaxes and he’s off again!

No, Thats not how I want to do things here in Vekaro. I’ve put a limit on what places can have chest shops, and what places can’t.

Certain places are excluded from such a thing, or items which can actually help promote roleplay, for example, selling wheat to the local wheat-merchant, who will then sell his wheat to the bakery and so on. Those who wish to have a chest shop will have to speak to me directly i’m afraid. Don’t worry too much though, i’m not that much of a tyrant. Exceptions will be made for those with good reason.

Regarding Shops

Now, as some of you might know. I like to try and remain organised, which is why we have an area for shops, an area for workforce laborers and of course, living areas.

Now, in order to own a shop within Vekaro, there is a price to be paid, which all depends on what type of shop you are looking to own, you may ask me in game for an “investment” in which I will give you a sum of mina and you’ll pay an extra tax slip a week until the debt, plus a 10% interest is paid off. (Usually 10% will be 100 mina? But that’ll be paid in tax slips.)

Elections for a new Maer!

With Youlovesocks taking an interest in different roles, it saddens me to say that we are looking to elect a new maer! If you feel up to the task, please nominate yourself for the position, along with it include a paragraph of what you could bring to the city and why the city should choose you! Elections will last a week, in the next report the new maer will be announced!

Hiring Stewards

Unfortunately, I can’t be here 24/7, which is why I rely on other people to hold down the fort whilst i’m away, but unfortunately me and Beggin_Bill can’t handle all the work load together, due to the fact we are often preoccupied dealing with different matters, which is why we’re hiring an additional steward! We’re looking for an EST Steward to manage that time zone whilst we’re away, experience is preferred.

Closing Statement

Report was some what rushed this week, wasn’t an entire lot to talk about, i’m happy to see that everybody has been paying their taxes! They’ll be collected tomorrow, at around 6:00pm GMT. So make sure you’ve paid them on time!

first !!!!!!!

[Alphrix 45]

Vekaro is progressing very quickly, it's good to have people like Lord Carrion around to do this.

[cruzazul 2815]

Another thing to be added was the removal of the Crow's Nest and Kvaz. Soon farmlands and only a few hovels will be put there, Oy vey for centralization.
