Chapter 88 Shangri (1/2)
A few hours later, four ships from the Inferno fleet headed west for the continent of Jhabi. Nix was aboard the Phoenix along with the officers from Inferno and a few others. Captain Delphi stood at the helm, her face still wearing a smile.Although she had gone down in defeat, the Phoenix had taken entire fleets with her.Delphi and her crew had been promoted to elites because of their efforts.An elite crew would fight harder and perform their individual jobs better.
Pon, Wind, Sharl. Mina, Nix, Jun Li, Semmi and Ronnie relaxed at the rail near the bow of the ship.
/Guildchat: Semmi: A few governing items need to be addressed.Let's start first with town security. Crime isn't a problem yet, but as our population grows we are going to have to offer some sort of deterrent against crime. Suggestions?
/Guildchat: Jun Li: We do have a lot of Colonial Knights on Glory, could they handle the task?
/Guildchat: Nix: I'd prefer to keep them as part of our military.
/Guildchat: Pon: We could hire our own private security force.
/Guildchat: Wind: You mean like mercenaries?
/Guildchat: Semmi: That might work short term, but I think we'd do better thinking ahead.
/Guildchat: Ronnie: There are two hundred acolytes at the Scorched Earth Temple... Surely they don't need all of them.
/Guildchat: Sharl: Please stop talking now.People would be freaked out by them.
/Guildchat: Ronnie: I think they're cute.
/Guildchat: Nix: We could open a Provost Marshals Office.I know just the guy to head it up.
/Guildchat: Semmi: That's a great long term solution, but there's a lot involved in bringing them to Glory.
/Guildchat: Nix: No worries, I have close ties to the Provost Office.Oh... did you check out the build menu for new constructions in Glory?
/Guildchat: Semmi: No.Has something changed?
/Guildchat: Nix: The Golden Expansion bonus is permanent.All new constructions will come with the bonus.
/Guildchat: Semmi: Damn... that's really going to bring in new businesses.Let's shelf security for now.The Artesian Guild wants to build a headquarters in Glory.
/Guildchat: Nix: I'm not familiar with them.
/Guildchat: Jun Li: It's a guild made up of expert crafters.They try to regulate prices so that prices in one town don't significantly rise or fall when compared to other places.
/Guildchat: Sharl: I hate that idea.Have you seen the gear that our crafters make? I'm okay with being overpriced.
/Guildchat: Pon: Letting someone else regulate our economy seems like a horrible idea.
/Guildchat: Semmi: I agree but we do need some sort of Economic Advisor.The last thing on our agenda is land sales.
/Guildchat: Jun Li: There have been inquiries regarding the purchases of land plots on Glory, both in and outside of town.Our town policy is lease only.
/Guildchat: Nix: We've worked hard for every acre of Glory Island.Let's keep it in our possession.
/Guildchat: Wind: I agree.If we offer land plots to outsiders, it can only hurt our security.
/Guildchat: Pon: It also prevents future expansion of the Town.
/Guildchat: Semmi: Okay... Let's Vote on bringing in the Provost Marshals Office.Aye or Nay.I say Aye.
/Guildchat: Nix: Aye
/Guildchat: Jun Li: Aye
/Guildchat: Ronnie: Aye
