Dear Bravians

Hello Bravians,
I would like to bring to your attention several things:
Winter is still here - Please Help!
The snowmen event are Yuki's minions and have frozen the site in Winter. This means that Orchards are frozen solid and all fields are stuck in their least productive season. Please help us in this event, things are actually slowly getting worse. On the home page (where you would play Nifty 19), please press the button to combat the snowmen. It does not take a daily action. It does not decrease your HP. It does not require you to be a high level or have learned how to fight. Check your Event log the next day to see what happened. This is an event where players have to coordinate together to figure out how to beat Yuki, and that is happening here: viewforum.php?f=127
The Winter status also seems to affect foraging and foraging items, such as Cup of Oats and Black Bean.
New Players
New level 0 + level 1 citizens are an important part of the Bravian economy. They help buy goods and it is a joy to help them level up and watch them interact and grow. When they level up, they help the town. We haven't had very many lately, they seem to be moving away. Let's put in some extra effort to make sure that the basic goods they may need are on the market and reasonably priced.
Field Work
I've been getting a lot of questions on why I keep pricing my field work so low instead of paying 30F+ to turn them. Peasants will work fields in order of who pays the most, starting at 15F. The city of Fenia has perfected this technique and this is why their goods are priced so low. The caveat is that you must wait a little longer for the work to be done. If you are paying 16f, 17F, 18F, etc, then you are just trying to get your field worked faster than your neighbor. It is also possible to price your fields lower, say at 12F or 14F. This means that you can sell your goods at a lower price. The mechanics of peasant work are not fully known, please ask the city of Fenia if you have more questions.
However, higher-priced field work is still important because it helps out players who need those worker points. Here is a special Thank-You to those individuals.
Traders
Certain individuals frequent many towns and drop items for sale. Please support our local workers and crafters by buying local goods where it is possible to do so and the prices are reasonable. This is not about me, but I know that I took on a Sheep field to help provide Hides and Wool and they undercut my business so badly I could not turn the product and had to turn the field into something else. I am sure they have done this to other citizens.
Repair Shops
A new feature has been added to the game where you can own and operate a repair shop. This option is listed underneath the Town Market menu item. Let's get a few individuals to operate repair shops so that we have better ways of mending older goods. : )
Professional Crafting Artisans
We have a lot of Bravians who are choosing not to operate in their own workshop. For example, weavers with no wool to weave and butchers with no carcasses to render. Please try to coordinate together with any local artisans on what might be needed or lacking or how to help.
Here is the quick poll that I took just now :
Masons: 2
Weavers: 3 (was 4 in February)
Carpenter: 3
Baker: 2
Miller: 3
Butcher: 2
Blacksmith: 1
