Day 10

Monday, July 10-- Day 10




Today due to an unusual number of absences, the schedule at Village was a little different:

-Firstly, in that we made a small campfire in the morning to deter bugs and because it was chilly!

-And secondly, because we walked to the nearby cemetery to play camouflage twice! Will this be the game that overtakes the long-loved capture the flag?!

Peep making

 





















The staggering damage done to peeps left on land over the weekend was proof to warrant extra fortification of homes in progress. Several homesteaders worked on new peeps, either because theirs were drastically injured or had disappeared.

Writing up a lumber order for an outhouse!

Smiles in the workshop



Banking!

Fashionable new roof


Also in werk bezerk 1, Fed member Petal established a 100 rainbow fine per request to play country music on the radio. Sad peeps were given hope when Harley Quinn (Trading Post manager) paid the fine in werk bezerk 3, and pop country rang loud until cleanup. It appears that despite government imposition, music for the masses still prevails!

Playing slaps! Used to pass time while
waiting for the group to reconvene. 



Fishin' during swim time


More drama during bezerk 3 when all but two employees of the Trading Post quit due to a consensus that they weren't being paid enough. Rumors say that this is due to Radio Station manager Darth Plagus' slipping that he paid his workers at the end of each day-- not so at the Trading Post. Also contributing may have been the time conflict between work shifts and needs to paint houses.

Darth Plagus seems to be winding himself ever more deeply into the financial scene in the village. In addition to offering gambling at his Sun Rise Casino, he has recently established Peep Insurance Co. Plagus plans to cover peep injuries, peep property damage, and both personal and business financial assurance. As of bezerk 3, two peeps had already signed up, and the forecast says more to come.

Day 22

It is day 22, Mini-Fair Eve, and also appraisal day. Homesteaders crafted up a storm preparing for these two events! Side one of last week's newspaper: a must read! Side two After singing and groupies, there was ONE LAST werk berzerk block to work on houses before appraisal time! The barn was real' busy with painters, sculptors, and hot-gluers. Some homesteaders also went to their lands to reinforce fencing and do other landscaping. Final touches Alex ??????'s finished land! Appraisals happened after snack! Groupies and their leading commissioners toured the town and stopped at each property to read its blurb and evaluate pricing. To achieve their appraisal amounts, homesteaders took the median of all of the price-tickets their homes received. We think this method is fair because tickets with R0 or R100,000 will just add more place markers to count the median off from, rather than skewing an average. The most va

Day 8

 Thursday, July 6, day 8... Our werk bezerk 1 was brightened up with a community college class on peep wallpaper making, hosted by a special guest. There will be more of these classes in the future, the next one being on hardwood floor installation as was voted for by homesteaders! Also note: the community college classes are examples of Fed sponsored activities, which are where the peeps' tax rainbows go. The 5% tax was established in time for the first payday, but due to the effect it has had on the Federal budget, it will be up to the peeps to choose between the classes and low taxes. Our special guest and her professor peep! Wallpapering a finished house! Those who did not attend the course continued working on their homes or jobs.  Help from Jasmine Cutting out windows!

Day 18

Thursday, a "snaptastic" day and our 18th at camp. We started out with singing and announcements. Before homesteaders left the circle, R50 checks signed by the Fed or to be signed by peeps who hadn't completed their house/fence/map were distributed. All but a few peeps earned the reward! Great progress. During werk berzerk 1, Michelle led a community college course on wheel/axel arrangement for mini cars that could be used during land time. There were many attendees due to the high demand for faster travel time. Other homesteaders worked on their homes and businesses, as usual, until snack time. This homesteader finished her house today!   Work shoppin'  Making a wheeled peep-mobile!
