It is my understanding that the 70s was negotiated as a "don't kill me right now" payment, and not a Treaty payment. The Treaty is affordable, but not so generous to be as low as 70s. As an aside, we also reserve the right to refund payments and cancel Treaty status, if one of the rules are broken (primarily, the rule about not Conspiring Against the Tribe).

You may not be of Russian nationality but the second you start speaking Russian in area chat, you are asking to be killed.
1. Yet he killed him anyways after taking the 70s?
2. Clearly the Player hadn't read the forums, yet was willing to pay the treaty. I get that your raiders/collectors aren't the most charitable of characters, but this was a little extreme. I don't know how many posts I've read of people who have posted about not having read the forum and being required to post as part of their treaty payment. This player agreed to this then was run over anyways just because he's Russian.
3. He's now only asking for 3 free months of treaty payments because of Khaz's over exuberance, what is that like 400s maybe for his little claim. It's 400s your not going to get anyways if he goes and finds a Russian town to join (If there are any left up there) that's against the treaty.

He clearly is a brand new player, so of course he doesn't know what he's doing. No wonder all the new players up there aren't in favor of the treaty. Meanwhile Roanoke is now twice as big as Plymouth because all of them are moving down here. It seems like you could recruit this guy with a simple offer, and gain money in future payments.

He's right on this too, If you don't want anybody to claim a formerly raided village then put up a sign. This guy found this abandoned base with no sign and no claim up. He was willing to pay the treaty once he found out about it, then was killed because he was a Russian. You guys need to tone it down if you want the international crowd to join the treaty, or are you guys simply at war with all Russians. You should state that here and now for all the new Russian players reading about the treaty for the first time.
