Pruning Users Posted by Brando deMedici on January 14, 2010, 9:11 pm
It was brought up a while back by the Senate that we should remove users who have not logged in within a considerable period of time.
All users who have not logged in for 2 years have been removed. Those who have not logged in within a year will be notified via e-mail and after 30 days from this post will be removed.
Those members of the Republic who have not logged in for 180 days are being moved to a Vagrant (inactive) usergroup. Everyone will be notified of the new activity policy and 30 days from now all member who have not logged in within 90 days will be automatically moved to the inactive group periodically.

Latest Tax Policy Posted by Brando deMedici on March 25, 2009, 9:56 pm
The Minister of Commerce would like me to relay the following:
The current tax rate is set to 500 gold, stone, timber, and/or ore per 7 days with the starting day every Sunday. This means you should have your taxes in by the end of Saturday every week. Please pay this to a Ministry of Commerce official.
Timber will now only count as half! That means you need to donate 1000 timber to reach the 500. Another example: If you donate 300g and 200 timber, that would only count as 400.
Grove is usable to pay taxes

Radison Steps Up as New Minister of War Posted by Brando deMedici on January 30, 2009, 11:46 pm
Radison McDougal has been appointed as the new Minister of War in place of Dyne due to personal reasons. Dyne will be staying on as a Prefect and Commerciante helping out when he can.
Thanks to Dyne for all of his continued efforts towards the guild and we welcome Radison to his new position. Radison was already the Warden overseeing the Rangers so the transition should be smooth and easy.
Expect to see a lot more drills being hosted for the Republic on a regular basis since Radison is also a Drill Instructor and has been relieved of his duties as a Herald. His focus will now be solely on the Ministry of War.
