Chapter Thirteen: Taking the Lead

Thanks to our valiant defense efforts, the village drives back the siege attackers and remains standing to see another day! As the smoke clears, citizens begin to approach us - impressed with our composure and coordination during the attack, several suggest we should campaign to run for mayor.
What platform do we campaign on?
⚖ Lowering taxes for everyone
🏗 Building new services for the village

What are taxes going in?
What services are already there and what is missing we need to build?
Lowering taxes reduces the effectiveness of the government and gives people the cash they need to more easily relocate to somewhere offering better services.
Obviously, provide more services.
... Did we forget about our gem?
I thought the same THING! Meaningful conflict will be an understatement!
I don't know if this place will serve as a permanent home, but now that we've been recognized for our efforts, it may be worthwhile to consider putting down roots and forming a guild. Aiding in the rebuilding and upgrading process will help us allocate resources for a guild hall, but we've got to be ready to get our hands dirty, especially protecting resource gatherers from bandits, beasts, and other lurking threats.
Heroes Fade but Legends last forever
Ahem. MY gem!

Ahh, scientific node. <cough splutter!> Note to self, try different leaves next time.
I'm thinking that as soon as they see several butts try to sit in one seat they will be somewhat less impressed with our composure and coordination. Let @Nagash have the position if he wants it; he's already sat down and he's got a knack of getting some of the older members of the local populace to work for free. It's sort of like pulling people out of retirement without needing to pay them or provide healthcare. If he could get them to take residency and vote he could be on to a winner.
If you need me I'll be in the Tav.... ohh <looking around> Hmm, any objections if we build a Tavern?
Glad someone remembered the plot!
Services, much better. That way, more people spend more money. More taxes. Then we raise the taxes because there are more services.
Then we lower the taxes for the rich who move to our place, bringing their business to us. Which in turn enables us to build services for those rich people. The poor cannot afford to leave, they rich don't want to. Win-Win-Win. No one loses.
Whaaaaat?! We raise the taxes for the rich, and with the money we get, we hire extra guards to stop anybody from leaving!
