A few more suggestions: The barracks need to be revised slightly. I would suggest adding a small locked room around the gate controls so that bandits can never gain access to the barracks. Secondly, the board that lists active Peacekeepers is horrendously out of date, that needs to be updated. Lastly more people need to be given access to the repair chests, as right now I don't know who all has the keys but it's certainly not the Peacekeepers (who need to put their worn down gear in there) I would also suggest a wanted board inside the gatehouse so that Peacekeepers on gate duty know who to let in and who not to.

*A note is pined under the first, in hastily scrawled handwriting* That's great! Glad to know you're alive and ready to continue your duties. -kale

Being a peaceful nation is all well and good when people respect the peace. The problem is, the bandits see out peacefulness as weakness and target us. I agree wholeheartedly with natural walls however, perhaps we could organize a large scale excavation project to make the land around Salvus more defendable? Also the dock needs a gate added, which should be kept close barring special circumstances. I didn't know this, thank you for the information. Unfortunately I have never been payed, but I suppose this is just time differences and such. Also we lack the iron to even supply Peacekeepers with armor - something about our miners not working? That is completely unacceptable and stops the Peacekeepers from doing their jobs. I'll take it you agree with me on this and the unmentioned points. This really ties in with my points that the Peacekeeper Roster needs to be looked over and the locks need to be changed. There are too many dead, exiled, or untrustworthy Peacekeepers as of now. Also I've gotten complaints of Peacekeepers stealing? Needs to be looked at.

I agree that villains are inherently a good thing and they bring conflict and interesting role play to the server. But I would like to see the villain population cut down a bit, as the number of petty bandits and the like is getting kind of out of hand. For example, my friend OOC informed me of this event that happened recently: She was walking along the road to salvus when she saw several men in diamond/iron armor robbing two men. She was quickly informed that if she ran she was going to die, so she stayed where she was. The bandits finished robbing the men and turned to her, briefly discussing what to do with her before finally deciding they would eat her. So she gets tied up, gagged, and dragged from the robbery site to the bandit's base. (She was told if she informed anyone of her situation she would be killed, despite the fact that there was a man in full diamond carrying a bound, gagged girl over his shoulder - she thought it was odd nobody passing them on the road or in the cloud temple would notice that) Anyway she was brought to their base where she was thrown in a cell, asked a few questions, and then killed (and presumably eaten) It wasn't a very fun experience for her and causes some issues in her RP. How can she reasonably be expected to come out of that? If she was eaten then there's no way the monks could've saved her, so for all intents and purposes her character should be dead. Does she have to make a new character? Does that mean that all the backstory her and I planned out is now null and void? If so that's disappointing - we had quite the little personal plot going and for it to die because she was at the wrong place at the wrong time is frankly kind of upsetting. Villains abuse their powers far too much in my opinion. I would suggest just cutting down on the number of active villains and making villain a much more difficult status to achieve, as right now there are far too many people who don't deserve it.

I know I literally just made a report, but I feel that this is important enough to warrant a second report so soon. Salvus, and Solace in particular, is incredibly hard to defend. I: The Walls are insufficient. The gate is a good start, but ultimately pointless, as bandits and other troublemakers are able to simply walk around it. We need a real wall, and we need it as soon as possible. I know there are civilians who would only be too happy to aid in the construction. II: The Peacekeepers lack supplies. We are not paid, we are not given food, we are given a set of iron armor and an iron sword upon making full Peacekeeper but this is laughable compared to the diamond clad gold sword wielding bandits we seem to have to take on. We are simply unequipped to handle the threats we face, and we can't make money to buy our own supplies as we are not paid and have no time to adventure. I suggest a Peacekeeper owned and operated farm inside the compound, and maybe a mine to gather our own resources. III: The Peacekeepers are undertrained. We receive next to no training when we enter the force, it is generally just a "sink and swim" philosophy. I suggest pairing a Peacekeeper Apprentice with a full Peacekeeper, so they are able to work together and help each other. IV: The Peacekeepers are too small. We don't need to expand, we need a militia. With the Peacekeepers as officers Salvus could be a legitimate fighting force, but no steps have been taken in this direction. V: We need to wipe out the bandits that continue attacking the town. There have been several attacks in the past few weeks, quite a few deaths, and 90 apples paid to save hostages, some of which were killed anyway. They have gotten into the barracks and locked the gate from the inside, preventing any Peacekeepers from entering. Peacekeeper Apprentice Aldawolf had an excellent suggestion of allying ourselves with the Dwarves and perhaps the White Ravens and hitting the bandits on their own turf. VI: The locks on the doors need to be changed. There are too many ex-Peacekeepers that have the keys, and it presents a real threat to Salvus security. VII: Peacekeeper Apprentice Aldawolf has alerted me to a possible traitor in the Peacekeepers. I need to speak to somebody immediately about this, as this could be devastating to the country as a whole. Thank you, Peacekeeper Kale

The day started like any other day, I guess. Cept there was a demon in the courtyard. I showed up halfway through the argument, but got the gist of it soon enough. Peacekeeper Apprentice Aldawolf was there, along with several of the Seventis military and some civvies. Apparently this demon had killed Peacekeeper Regaki and was being attacked by some Seventis guys and defended by a civvie...a trader I think. Anyway, I try to organize that but nobody pays attention. Then Queen Dawn (Ariel bless her) comes up the gates so I leave Aldawolf in charge and sprint over there to open it. I let her in, but there's also a crowd, and I begin to ask for names. One man responds with "Alan" Seeing a WANTED poster just inside the guardhouse for a certain Alan Locker, I inquire further. He says "Alan Locker". Naturally, I close both gates and lock him in. This creates quite an uproar from several other civilians - not because he was dangerous mind you (he wasn't attacking) but because I was inconveniencing them. I call for the Queen (Ariel bless her) but she's gone. Aldawolf rushes over, and, not understanding the situation, opens the gate into the capital. The group of civvies, plus Alan, charge into the city. Naturally, I rush to apprehend Locker. I chase him back to the gate and once again trap him, then go off for the Queen (Ariel Bless her). She's in the bakery but does not respond to me, and by the time I return to the gates, they are open (no explanation) and Locker is gone. Now, as I scramble to find Locker and the person responsible for his escape, I stumble upon...something (later realized to be the shade of former Peacekeeper Regaki) entering the guardhouse. I question it, but it simply floats away. I then find Locker cowering in the tent. I approach and attempt to apprehend him, "aided" by several civvies, who refused to listen to me when I demanded they back up. They were a danger to themselves and me. I successfully cuffed Locker, met up with Aldawolf yet again, and we both went to the barracks, where Locker was thrown into a cell. Aldawolf, on my order, sent a bird to the Queen (Ariel bless her) requesting orders. We attempt to question Locker, but before we're given the chance, the wraith of Regaki appears. He is tailed closely by a wizard whose name I do not know. A magical battle ensued, during which the Queen (Ariel bless her) sent us a bird demanding the release of Locker. We did so, and he promptly turned into a werewolf and ran into the woods. Meanwhile, the Wizard and the Wraith continue to fight in the jailhouse. The barracks are then approached by a Mori holding the head of a golem. They demand to be let in, and on order of the wizard, I comply. The golem head and the wizard defeat the wraith and leave. The Mori departs soon afterwards, under the cover of darkness. Aldawolf and I head down to the courtyard, where a Seventis sergeant very snippily informs me that the Demon who killed Regaki is dead, killed by somebody, though he did not deign to say who. He then insulted the Peacekeepers and I left in a huff, though I failed to find who the killer of the demon was, or if the demon truly is dead. Later, the wizard left with one more golem than before. I did not ask questions. So! My thoughts. -Aldawolf deserves promotion to full Peacekeeper. He performed admirably, and with Regaki dead, I don't know who better to replace him. -Magic, or at least open displays of magic, should become a minor offense, punishable by fine. -Disobeying a Peacekeeper, likewise. -It is possible that Locker freed himself from the gate, the guardhouse should be examined and rearranged so the controls are not so close to the windows. -If I do say so myself, I think a pay raise is in order. Good day. -Peacekeeper Kale

*You find a note pinned over the poster* Yeah, so we got him, and Queen Dawn told us to let him go. Then he turned into a werewolf and ran into the woods. So...that's that. -Peacekeeper Kale

MC name: Wanggubo IC name: Kale Why you wish to join the military: I need protection, and it seems allying myself with one of the larger nations seems the best way to go. And I really need something to do with my hands - I've tried going out into the woods, but city life just seems to sit better with me. I've always admired the guards, Peacekeepers, what have you, and it sounds like something I could do well. What weapon you are most comfortable with: Most comfortable with the sword (50) but I'm also an accomplished blacksmith. (75) No other weapon skills of note, though I am a good farmer (20) What military experience (if any) do you have: I was an Oren Guard and militiaman, and assisted in several arrests even as just a civilian. Have you read and understood the military order and laws post?: Yes. One of High Accord is plotting with the enemies of Salrus, which can result in anything from a 2000 minas fine up to death.

[MCname] : Wanggubo [Time-Zone] : Eastern, USA [How much time you can be online per day] : Depends on how busy I am. One or two hours on average. [How long have you been on the server for?] : A little over two months. [Do you have and use TS? If no then will you be able to?] I don't have it, but I'll download and use it if I need to. Name : Kale Your Race : Human Your Age : 17 Your Experience : A lifetime of fighting for self interest and money. I was a caravan guard for a while, though that didn't pan out the way I planned. Describe Yourself : I was raised in Al'khazar until I was around 15, where I set out to make something of myself. I tried a bit of banditry for a while but just didn't have the right mindset I guess - too unwilling to attack random people. I tried being a caravan guard until the elf who was hiring me decided he could outrun any bandits instead of paying me to protect him. But ever since one of my friends got kidnapped travelling the King's Road I've wanted to make it a safer place. Why should we recruit you? : I'm tough and listen to orders well, and I'm perfectly happy adapting to any role you need me to fill, or taking on any jobs that need to be taken. I don't know about leading, but I think I'd be a trustworthy number two. What are your strengths? Weaknesses? : Strengths are fighting and dealing with people. I can also farm very well. ((Level 25)) However, my ability to inspire men might be somewhat lacking. Do you know how to handle a weapon? [sword/Axe Skill Level] : I've been training with a sword since I was old enough to carry one. ((Swords level 53)) Ambitions For The Future? : To make the King's Road safer and eventually be able to afford my own house in Al'Khazar What would your character do in the following situation. :A group of bandits are camped on the Kings Road. Ordering a toll for passing. Its only you and two other recruits on duty. You decide to grab some armor and head out there. What do you do? [+Points For Thinking About It And Being More, Tactical] : I have two men fully armored/equipped? I'd send one along the King's Road, singing loudly and clanking along, making as much noise as possible. Have him hold up the bandits for as long as possible, maybe take a long time with his coin purse or try to engage them in conversation. Essentially, distract them so that me and the other guard could come in from the sides and sandwich them. The bandits should be caught unaware and the three of us should make short work of them.
