Day 16



As the last day to finish houses and turn in T-shirt/flag designs, today was especially busy.

After singing and retrieving peeps, we discussed the upcoming Mini Fair and that it would be a good time to start thinking about rides and other attractions to create.

During werk berzerk 1, homesteaders had a choice of working on their houses in the workshop, doing Fed jobs, working on personal businesses, or taking a community college course on mini-pastries with Michelle. The creators of the pastries sold them afterwards and made many rainbows.

Mini-baking!

Proud bakers and their products 





After snack, Frank Shorter announced an upcoming peep-5k. He led a quick preparatory exercise: partner wall-sits! Two groups were still pushing on at 7 minutes!! We hope that the event will occur later this week.

Wall-sitting champs!


Another werk berzerk had a continuation of last block's activities. Town meeting also happened during this time...

A preview:

A previously established law was that everypeep in town was eligible for the representative lottery. Illuminati members in the town council had been taking advantage of the lottery by trying vote out other members using the simple 50% majority rule (also established to replace 2/3 majority by an Illuminati member) until all of the councilors were also Illuminati members.

In this meeting, by a council that was 100% Illuminati members, a law was proposed that only the current representatives are eligible for the lottery, with the condition that it could only be changed unanimously in the town council. The law passed.

To those who may wonder what is going to happen with all the Illuminati business, "It already happened," according to XXXXX and Darth Plagies. It seems as though taking control of the republic was the group's only plan. Is there more to come?

A clandestine Illuminati meeting captured!


After lunch, homesteaders took a tour through the town and examined one another's properties. Who would be collecting their R50 prize, and who would be paying a R50 fine-- the carrot and stick for finishing houses and fences by the afternoon?

More progress was made in berzerk 3, and those peeps who had finished their homes and fences had the option of going to the pond.

Mapping land

Caterpillar crossing!





















After corvee, the camp took a trip up to the near cemetery for a hoped for game of camouflage, followed by pluses and wishes:

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! Trading Post biz Cutting posts to nail walls to! After snack, we broke from the regular swim/work choice and took everyo

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! Their vehicle has a spacious trunk  for peep cargo and passengers A hot air balloon ride for Mini Fair After snack, everyone went swimming!! Those who chose to stay on shore played "don't even get me started" and "three
