[Jamestown] Fortis Imperium

[m4sCaRpWn]

See colonial charter: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=5200

UPDATE #2 (final update before we move over to the Colonial Charter forum): We are WAY ahead of schedule. We're all becoming so strong so fast that we've found the need to go ahead and expedite our planned town establishment. We've decided to establish our town officially Tomorrow (Saturday)! This is your last chance to join what will soon become a glorious empire rich with goods, well defended and with a friendly mature community. PM me tonight!

UPDATE: We now have a small, close-knit community that is growing in size and ability by the day. As we all learn and become stronger together, our ambitions become greater. Within 1 or 2 weeks we will have established a fully official town with significant defensive capabilities at a nearby, undisclosed prime location; and all requisite amenities (including any crafting machinery, food stores, inspirationals, etc.).

If you would like to get in on the ground floor for this historic event, please feel free to PM me. NOTE: Due to overwhelming demand we cannot accept all applicants. Be sure to tell me enough about yourself as to make your application intriguing to our town's administrators.

My wife and I started playing this game about 4 days ago. We have a house and a sizable plot of land, and some bare necessities. Our location is ideal, with a large lake, forest and badlands all within a 10-second walk.

Let's face it, though: we're n00bs. There is still a lot to learn , and still a lot to do. Our plot is largely undefended, undeveloped and (most importantly) uneven. We've only got a few hundred silver in the bank, and most of our new cash flow is spent expanding.

So I've decided to put out a general call to any others out there who would like to migrate to our neighbourhood. n00bs and more experienced players are all welcome, with only a few important caveats:

1) You must be willing to learn. Watch the Guide series by gamerzakh on youtube, read sevenless' guide, go on the wiki, etc. I've done all this and it's helped dramatically, so if you're a n00b and you want to join our fledgling community, you must be willing to do the same (no lazy louts).

2) DIG. Our community has been founded on badlands and forest. While this provides us with a significant resource advantage, there are hills everywhere! It all needs to be flattened out in order to build on. So if you join, grab a shovel and don't be afraid of a little manual labour (or hours and hours of it, more accurately).

3) Please be trustworthy. I am a trusting person by nature (not to sound effeminate: that's an honest self-evaluation). If I put my trust in you and invite you to the community, and you steal, murder or commit any other crimes, I will hunt you down. I will seek revenge on you if it consumes my entire purpose for playing the game from that point forward.

4) We're not looking to build a giant empire that eventually raids and pillages all innocent bystanders (a la MM over on Plymouth). Neither are we, however, building a mamby-pamby commune of peaceniks. We will defend our land. We will go to war. But they will be just wars and we will always be in the right. We will not seek out trouble, and will try to project a neutrality and a fair warning that we don't want any trouble, but will deal with any thrust upon us.

So PM me if you're interested and you fit the criteria. We'll chat for a while and if I deem you worthy you will receive an invite to what will soon become the greatest kingdom in the whole Jamestown area.

- Or my wife and I will continue to live the hermit's life, eventually building a nice strong property that's self-sustaining and strong, but private. Whichever.

I'd like to give this a try.
I've only played a few days, but i am slowly getting the hang of it and i love this kind of games. I am on around (GMT +1) 12:00-18:00.

I'm also interested joining, I've been wandering alone few weeks now and its getting boring, i would love to specialize (?!) in one or few skills, playing alone forces one to go for more like "jack of all trades" kind of gamestyle and it gets hard. I live in Finland so my playing is focused on 6pm-11pm (UTC/GMT +2), weekends are more flexible!

And I'm not afraid to pick up a shovel!

(Been eaten by a bear in Haven & Hearth multiple times if that counts for anything!)

Hi

I'm newbe, I learn fast and already read all important guides on the forum. I'm not aggresive and I trust to ppl. I play for 5 days, yesterday I have been robed thats why I decided to find ppl to live with. I can join you, someday my friends will join the game so we can play togeather if you don't mind. So we will be able to build at least a small town. What aboud defences? We will need safe spot to keep all our goods. Those faking thiefs will open evry unprotected barell.

Hello guys,

I'm trying to find a group of players to party with and eventually build a nice settlement. ATM I can not play so often, but anyway I could be helpful with some work and specialize in something specific.

Please PM me or contact me in skype (fabiobra1975) and we'll see what we can do. I already find a good spot but I am ready to walk if necessary, I'm in Europe and in GMT+1 zone.

Hi there,

For some reason I couldn't PM you, so I will have to put my application here. I am an experienced player, I am a veteran from H&H. I am new to Salem, but find a lotta similarities and am a fast learner. I live in South-Eastern Ontario, Canada. I can play for 2-4 hours a day. I am very cooperative, and would love to join your soon-to-be-empire. You guys sound like an awesome community! At the moment, I am like a Jack of All Trades because I am by myself. I figured out that soon people will start forming "tribes" (very aggresive and pillaging villages) so i thought it was time for me to join a village and besides that I was bored because I was all by myself. My ingame name is FailedEpic465. Please think about my application, you won't regret it.

Sincerely
FailedEpic465.
