Attention Citizenry, Permanent Residents, and Travelers of the Spire!

It is once more with heavy heart, which pains us so; to beseech you all for your shared wealth in aiding the Council in the reconstruction of the bridge at Albern's Crossing.

We are seeking a sum of TWO THOUSAND (2000) crowns in order to properly rebuild our most necessary bridge, so that we might be able to once more cross over the river without delay and ensure that our land routes are reconnected with the greater network at large. These crowns will be divested in the procurement of material, along with the payment of all those who lend their hands in the reconstruction of our most glorious of bridges. These crowns, likewise; will serve to ensure that the Council's budget will remain in good standing for future projects or potential disasters. Any money above the required sum will be rolled over into the budget for future projects - Once the bridge's reconstruction has been finalized.

In following prior success; we have decided once again that the three greatest donators to this effort will have their names forever carved into a plaque located on the bridge's thoroughfare.

However; that is not the only reward we offer to those who donate.

We at the Office of the Exchequer and the Council of the Spire; feel as though our newest most magnificent of bridges shall be afforded a new name, picked not by those of the Council, but by each person who donates.

For the donation of at least FIVE HUNDRED (500) crowns, an individual may submit a POTENTIAL NAME for our new bridge.

For the donation of at least ONE HUNDRED (100) crowns, an individual may submit a SINGLE VOTE for any of the names suggested by those who have pledged five hundred or more crowns.

For the donation of at least TWO HUNDRED (200) crowns, an individual may submit TWO VOTES.

For the donation of at least THREE HUNDRED (300) crowns, an individual may submit THREE VOTES.

THREE VOTES is the limit! Those who donate FIVE HUNDRED crowns and submit a name will only be given THREE VOTES.

Voting of names will commence AFTER the fundraiser has concluded, as to allow any last-second submissions for names.

Donate now!

All donations are to be directed to the Exchequer's Office, to Kyrus Salada whom will be handling the bookkeeping and dispersal of funds.

The fundraiser for the reconstruction of the bridge at Albern's Crossing has concluded! A total sum of FIVE-THOUSAND-AND-NINE-HUNDRED (5900) crowns have been successfully raised to support such a momentous effort.

With the bridge's reconstruction underway, and with all submissions collected; the two proposed names for our newest bridge are...

Dawncrest Bridge

Badger Bridge

Voting on the names will commence summarily. As a reminder, ONE HUNDRED (100) crowns has earns you ONE vote. TWO HUNDRED (200) crowns earns you TWO votes. THREE HUNDRED (300) crowns earns you THREE votes. Those who have submitted names by donating FIVE HUNDRED (500) or more likewise have earned THREE votes!

VOTE NOW!

For those who did not have the chance to donate; do not worry! In order to make better use of our resources, we have decided to use a portion of the fund raised crowns in order to pay all Spirefolk who take part in the upcoming reconstruction effort! A total of ONE THOUSAND (1000) crowns have been set aside in order to be equally paid out to all those who lend their hand!

DO YOUR PART!

Office of the Exchequer

OOC NOTE:

First of all, sorry about the lengthy delays! I am aware this was promised nearly two weeks ago; however, unfortunately, work, obligations, and general schedule sloppiness has led to me having to put this off until now. The holidays can be a rough time of year for me, and I'm sure; many others here. So, sorry!

On the topic of voting, in order to maintain privacy, I will be privately reaching out directly to all those who donated in order to gather their votes via Discord. Unfortunately, I can't really come up with a better solution than that. I apologize. Voting will run for a week, and will end on Saturday, January 3rd, 1PM EST, or until all votes have been collected. If everyone votes before then, I will announce the results earlier.

For the actual reconstruction event, it will begin on Saturday, January 3rd, 8PM EST. This timeframe, I hope, will give both EU and NA players a chance to take part.

On the topic of finances here!

Our plan for this was to keep 25% of the donated crowns in order to act as funds for paying any participants in the event. The remaining 75% will be /eco'd out of existance.

I am aware that 25% of 5900 is not actually 1000, that is because we have decided that we would subtract the original requirement of 2000 crowns from 5900, leaving us with 3900. 25% of that then becomes 975, which we simply rounded up to be a simple, relatively easy-to-divide number for however many participants are in the event. So, 4900 is being /eco'd out of the server ecosystem. Please see the related Discord thread for screenshot proof and personalized timestamps!

Attention Citizenry, Permanent Residents, and Travelers of the Spire!

Voting for the official name of the bridge at Albern's Crossing has concluded!

In a swift turnout, with thirty-four votes in favor, and twenty-one votes against, and the brand new name for the soon-to-be-rebuilt bridge has officially been chosen to be...

Dawncrest Bridge

Henceforth, our new and most glorious Dawncrest Bridge will soon be fully rebuilt and shall reconnect us to the rest of the continent.

Many thanks!

Office of the Exchequer

OOC NOTE:

Hilariously quick voter turnaround. I had known the results before I even went to sleep, but in order to avoid double-posting on the notice board (and because I couldn't lock in and write up another post to save my life) announcement was done today.

Big thank you to everyone who took part!
