Greetings, Citizens of Plymouth,
==========
Update 12OCT2013 - Treaty applications closed without sponsorship from existing Treaty Member. Treaty Members should check their PMs for updated contact information.Good afternoon Treaty Payers,
Due to recent events concerning the forums and their moderation, we will no longer be using the forums as an out-of-game communications channel.
If you wish to contact me out of game, you may send an e-mail to <redacted>. Chief can be reached at <redacted>. All Braves are still available in-game, as well.
Also please be advised that new applications for Treaty Members are being closed, unless personally recommended by an existing Treaty Member - this clause exists so you can bring in friends you may meet or who may start playing, but you will need to personally vouch for them for the application to be considered.
Faithfully,
-Paul the Paymaster

I have watched with great consternation the violence that plagues the Pilgrims of the New World. Settlers seeking economic opportunity or religious freedom have found themselves beset upon by both the indigent population, as well as their fellow immigrants. While a few (too few) have found peace of mind by signing a treaty with the Native Tribe, I understand fulling this option is not for everyone. Some may not be able to stomach the subjugation - others may just not be skilled in diplomacy or wary of dealing with Natives whose concept of ownership does not match the standard to which we are accustomed to.
In an attempt to remedy this situation I, on behalf of the Free Merchants of Plymouth, am offering Raid Insurance. In a nutshell, this insurance offers peace of mind with:
-Protection from raiding and aggression of your town or claim by the Native American MM Tribe
-Swift and overwhelming retaliation if your town or claim is raided by thugs, roustabouts, or any of the other criminal scum the New World has lamentably attracted.
As part of our licensing agreement, anyone who has signed and paid for a treaty with the Natives will automatically be enrolled in this insurance plan at no additional cost.The cost of the insurance is equivalent to the upkeep of your claim or town, payable on or before the first of the month to which it applies. To calculate this for a town, take the max authority of your town and multiply by two (the town below would require 1500 silver/month):
To calculate this for a claim, take the max authority of your claim and divide by two (the claim below would require 121 silver/month):
This insurance is backed by an exclusive license with the Native Tribes, and the Free Merchants of Plymouth keep the finest warriors, scouts, and trackers on retainer.
Interested parties should make contact through a forum PM. Dishonest individuals have been seen in Plymouth trying to scam payments out of unsuspecting Pilgrims - for your own safety and peace of mind, all payments should be coordinated through the forums.
I hope you will seize this opportunity to achieve a peace of mind and security unrivaled in the New World to date. Protect your valuables. Protect your residents. Obtain your own insurance policy today.
Faithfully,
-Paul the Paymaster
