The United Militia of Derby

[Mortis]

A militia dedicated entirely to Derby and it's surrounding territories, Port Breton, Midway Island, Casterly Rock (Black Jack Isle as I prefer to call it) and Arrivo Rock.

We, as equals, are here to defend Derby in times of war, uphold the law in Derby to the best of our ability, and work peacefully with all groups that wish to contribute to Derby in an acceptable manner.

We are by no means a ruling government, and serve the people of Derby, as is our duty. As such, this is the current laws of Derby, which only cover murder, being that no other crime is thought to be possible.

Laws Concerning Murder

Any unprovoked kills of or by Derby citizens and peaceful visitors are punishable by death.
- Exceptions:

1.) Revenge kills in which one was not punished under the law.
2.) The Exception to the above exception is that revenge kills from any past wars constitute unprovoked murder, and is therefore punishable by death. Keep your personal grudges out of our peaceful town.

Mercenary/bounty work involving the murder of Derby citizens and/or peaceful visitors shall have a death sentence upon the mercenary/bounty hunter, and said employer (if the employer's name is identified.)

Killing constitutes murder only if it is done in the previously listed territories.

If you have any suggestions, revisions or additions, do let me know.

All people, outsider, native, cannibal, etc may join if they wish, so long as you are willing to put your life on the line to protect the people of Derby, and uphold law in Derby.

Report all crimes you may have witnessed, been victim of, or have reliable knowledge of, here, and appropriate measures will be taken, given the details of the crime.

I think we should cut newbies some slack, they may kill people not from Derby because they may think it is Ok. If they do we should tell them it is discouraged and give them a warning, they do it again we kill the bastards in a cold effective cruel fashion.

Midway / WickSick Island is still considered Wiksik territory. That said, I will be consulting the Knights of the Round Table before taking the KOW into any further war actions. I would ask you to reconsider your claim at this point with at least the look towards a treaty as it relates to the disputed territory. All previous actions against the PF leadership are now considered null and void, though obviously the dispute over the island still needs resolution.

[Billfred]

A man in a cloak glides into the room and appears at Anthor's side, you hear a groan as he bends down to whisper
Remember who I gave the island back to? That's who owns it.

That aside, wasn't there a war not long ago over this place between you two?
I thought that's why Tracer was there.
I mean, if Wiksik has no permanent representative, how can you claim it to be yours?

Indeed. Everyone that doesn't have the good sense will receive their first warning. Afterwards, they're luck runs out.

Derby will be maintaining an alliance with The Necromancers Guild, under the same pretenses as the PF had with the NG.
Right now, it is a shared territory of Derby and the NG. If the KOW wishes to stake some form of claim to Midway, you may discuss it with me Anthor, so that we may come to a proper agreement.

Tracer is still the governor of Midway.

Actually Uther Given that Derby no longer has a central government only your group and the PF remnants are the only allies the NG has from Derby. Which in all honesty is kinda exciting once you think about, a town made up of only clans serving their own interests and their own alliances.

Back on topic, while you may be fighting for the interests of Derby, most don't share this interest. What do with midway is all up to you since most people in derby would rather not want anything to do with the Isle. For those still loyal to the PF they may see it as a good place to set up a government in exileindependantly protecting Derby's eastern Border. Finally this game may become fun again.

If your ragtag 'Militia' ever finds itself short of volunteers, the Guild will be more than happy to take your money and sort out the mess you'll inevitably bloody make of this. It'll cost you a penny or two, but it'll be worth it to have a bunch of real fighters on your books.

If I'm ever desperate enough to hire others to do my work, I'll give you a call Phil.

Well, I don't want people fighting over Midway (again) so I'm doing what I can to prevent it.
Besides, Tracer asked for my help, as well as yours. I'm more than glad to offer him assistance.

Who actually stays in Midway for it to be such a disputed area? I mean if it is just a dead town(or what ever) then why can't just leave it under no one's control or share it?

[Johnny Hobo]

Because then, Russell, there would be no way for clan's to prove just how awesome they are, and we'd be sitting around drinking tea.

[Raan'dul]

Ew Tea? Screw that, bring the beer!

[Dani]

Isn't it already suitable as a neutral meeting spot to conduct inter-clan negotiations? what other value could it have?

Well the NG and the KOW stake a claim to it, and I encourage groups to do so, as long as they are peaceful about it. That way there could always be a mediator in whatever disagreements one clan might have with another. Staking a claim for Derby only contributes to such a thing. I wouldn't mind acting as a mediator between groups.

[Bobby the Hatchet]

Wicksick/Midway's a ghost island. The headhunters are long gone, Shakespeare never happened and Tracer sitting there solo, governor of a pile of stones doesn't really strike me as a proper claim. Does anyone have actual plans for it? If it's a spirit hut, it ought to have spirits. If it's a military outpost, I expect to find some soldiers on guard duty. Seems like right now it's best leaving it open for someone with a fresh idea rather than simply claiming it for the sake of claiming it and running anyone off that actually wants to do something with it.

[Dani]

Well, since you mentioned it, my little anarchist group could probably make great use of it. It's the perfect headquarters to launch attacks on Wiksik and food raids on Derby.
