Message du maire Alysrose
Welcome to Bristol citizens and visitors!

If you are new in town, take a few moments to read our laws. If you are a new resident of Bristol, do not hesitate to contact your mayor or mentor for any issue that concerns you.

FIELDS:
*Currently, we need more WHEAT and CORN fields, so if you are considering growing crops, consider Wheat as we need it for fodder and producing flour for our Bakers.*

Thank you all for your support.

Please visit the town forum by clicking here

*~*~*

*Taverns*

These are our life blood for new residents. Please spend some time in a tavern so new players, and old players, can come in and chat.

*~*~*

*Gold Mine*

With the County looking to boost its income, please consider spending some time in the Gold Mine, even if it is just one hour a day, or one day per week, or even several different shifts spread throughout the week.

*Wool Autobuy*

Currently forbidden, please refer to the Town Laws below

1. *Donations*

If you are feeling generous, please don't be shy about donating to the town via the interface located in the town hall.

2. *Town Buy List*

Corn at 2.60 or under.
Wood at 3.80 or under
Wheat at 10 pounds

Town Hall will no longer be buying your herbs, either, since we have no use for them and cannot sell them on to the county. Thank you for your understanding.

3. *Forest*

Please visit the forest to cut wood. Bakers, blacksmiths and the county are always looking for wood and the Town Hall can export the wood we gather to other towns that don’t have a forest for their use. The Town Hall will buy any wood you are willing to sell at 3.80 or less. Just put it on reserve for your mayor (currently Silicon_Toad2000) or send me a message that you have wood to sell to the TH on the market.

If you use a town axe, the TH will get one wood from your result (this bushel is not included in the total listed per tree). The Town Hall currently has 6 axes available to use in the Forest so if you don’t see one available, contact your mayor to put more of them out for you, or you can use your own axe if a loaner is not available.

4. *Iron*

There is iron available on the market for residents. If that runs out, please let me know and I'll get some more. If you are visiting Bristol and have need of iron, please contact the mayor before buying what is on the market.

5. *Tavern*

The Town Hall Tavern is currently stocked with basic two and three hunger point meals. We also try to keep around 200 mugs of beer on tap so please do visit the taverns as much as you can.

6. *Devon Guard*
The Devon Guard has a new Commander, Ember. She is working to revitalize the Guard and they are looking for new recruits. Long time Bristol resident Delema has been appointed as Town Commander, so if you have any questions about the Guard, or are interested in joining up, please message him.

7. *FORUMS*
Please visit the forums, especially the Devon inn and the Grand Bristol Hall.
They are a great place to role play, as people go there that know how to role play. If you feel your role-playing skills are not as good as others, don't be afraid to ask someone to help you improve! We all start at the beginning, and sometimes we need a little help to get where we are going.
