Police force needed

[darnokpl]

Killer rabbits , beavers, wolves or bears can be trained in different levels of guard house or in different type that could be more expensive for stronger animals...
sounds like fun for me

[_Gunnar]

Just let me tame bears and train them to aggro on anyone who commits a crime on my claim. An army of angry bears ripping someone's face off would be awesome. Wolves would be pretty sweet too but attacks bears just sounds like tons of fun.

guard turkeys please, with spears

As far as this idea of implementing laws an enforcement... no thanks. I like the anarchy and would be one of the first to rebel.

As far as I know the under group of canis lupus called canis lupus familiaris already existed before America was discovered. One would therefore assume that it would be more convenient to bring dogs from the old world instead of beginning the thousand year process of domesticating wolves.
Domesticating bears in any sensible way would be very hard, and I doubt you could trust them as much as dogs. At least make it a pretty big chance that they turn on their owner and tear him apart. Being assulted by rabbits (march hares?) or crickets is also kind of weird and should be avoided since it adds alot to the sillyness of the game. But we digress alot from original theme..

I agree this got way off topic. The OP felt that a police force was needed but he clearly did not realize that the Tribe has now completely eradicated the Gallows criminals of the server. The Police force is now no longer needed but the MM Tribe will still stay Vigilant. We will be waiting and watching and when Salem needs us most.... We will be here.

Until then, let the scalping continue.

You mean continue.....

That's what I said.

[dageir]

Chief, if I pay tax to you, would you refrain from scalping me?

[jwhitehorn]

Chief, if I pay tax to you, would you refrain from scalping me?

Absolutely.... The Tribe has a very long "Do-not-scalp" list from those who continue to support our efforts.

First thing you need to do is to find out the amont of silver people have. You have to send out tax forms to everyone in the land.
How much do you take a year? How big a percentage?

On a side note, I found the following punishment method quite amusing. Anything for Salem?
The pillory:
Rather like the lesser punishment called the stocks, the pillory consisted of hinged wooden boards forming holes through which the head and/or various limbs were inserted; then the boards were locked together to secure the captive. Pillories were set up to hold petty criminals in marketplaces, crossroads, and other public places.[2] They were often placed on platforms to increase public visibility of the offender. Often a placard detailing the crime was placed nearby; these punishments generally lasted only a few hours.[citation needed]

In being forced to bend forward and stick their head and hands out in front of them, offenders in the pillory would have been extremely uncomfortable during their punishment. However, the main purpose in putting criminals in the pillory was to publicly humiliate them. On discovering that the pillory was occupied, people would excitedly gather in the marketplace to taunt, tease and laugh at the offender on display.[citation needed]

Those who gathered to watch the punishment typically wanted to make the offender's experience as unpleasant as possible. In addition to being jeered and mocked, those in the pillory might be pelted with mouldy fruit and vegetables, rotten eggs, bad fish, mud, offal, and animal excrement. As a result, criminals were often very dirty by the end of their punishment, their faces and hair begrimed with the smelly refuse with which they had been pelted.
