Hello Sufficient Velocity I'm going to be running what I hope will be a successful quest now. I've had this in my head for about three months.
Here's how this quest will work you the readers will be the Government of The Colony of Georgia.
Not as the governor or the legislature but as the entire government of the colony of Georgia. You will run the Colony at first as Oglethorpe and his 21 trustees. Then if you see fit you can reform yourself into something different to govern the Georgia colony with the Crowns permission.
Now without further ado I give you Oglethorpe's Dream.
___________________________
THE FOUNDING OF GEORGIA
It had been more than five decades since the British had established a new colony. James Edward Oglethorpe, a philanthropist and an English general, along with twenty-one other men, created a charter to settle a new colony which they named Georgia in honor of King George II. The grant established land between the Savannah and Altamaha rivers as well as the waters of these rivers.
Georgia's Trustees, Oglethorpe and the twenty-one other men, established that no man was to make profit off the settlement. Once the charter was finalized the men brought it to the attention of King George II. In 1732, King George II, under the persuasion of Oglethorpe, signed off on the last of the 13 colonies.
At the time of the charter, British prisons were being over-crowded by people in debt. Oglethorpe spent much of his time in England working with the poor and insisted that the formation of a new colony would allow debt-ridden people a fresh start. His idea was to create an asylum for the poor and the persecuted Protestants. The establishment of Georgia would also protect the northern colonies from Spanish and French intrudors.
Though this was all well and good what mattered the most to King George ll was the charter which Oglethorpe and the 21 trustees labored over let's take a look at it shall we.

There was discussion about banning Slavery but the trustees ultimately decided.

[] To allow all alcohol no matter the strength.

So on November of 1732, 114 people left from the River Thames to settle Britain's new colony of Georgia. They arrived at Port Royal, South Carolina. While the colonists rested, Oglethorpe, Peter Gordon, William Bull, and several other South Carolina militia searched for a proper settling area. They came to Yamacraw Bluff, which was about seventeen miles from the Savannah river's mouth. The men chose this area for its natural protection from assault.
There they met John Musgrove, son of a South Carolina Governor, and his wife Mary, native Creek Indian. The two lived near Yamacraw Bluff and traded goods with the Creek Indians. With Musgrove's help, Oglethorpe was able to obtain the land from the local Creek village leader Tomochichi. Upon securing the land, Oglethorpe returned to South Carolina to gather up the settlers.

Growth of Savannah

Growth of the Colony
Although religious toleration was beginning to emerge as a value during the Enlightenment, it was the pragmatic need to attract settlers that led to broad religious freedoms. South Carolina wanted German Lutherans, Protestant Scots and Jews as a counter to the French and Spanish Catholic absolutist presence to the south, which was perceived as a threat to their English freedoms.
This is one reason that relations between South Carolina and Georgia were strained from the very start. South Carolina could not comprehend why Georgia would allow Catholics. Further souring relations was the fact that the Very cream of South Carolina society was opposed to Georgia on principle. To them it was injustice that the Crown take away land from South Carolina and give it to make a new colony. While the Plantation owners were also worried about run away slaves as all slaves had to do was swim the Savannah river and they'd be free.
But anyway enough with bickering neighbors let's get to how the Georgia Colony and Savannah are doing.
One of the most crucial elements to the prosperity of Savannah and Georgia was Oglethorpe's friendship with Tomochichi. He granted Oglethorpe permission to settle on the Yamacraw bluff. As a result Georgia and Savannah did not have to deal with a war with the Yamacraw Tribe a subsection of the Creek Tribe when they first settled.
Prior to arrival in the New World Oglethorpe had developed as sophisticated plan on how to design the city of Savannah. Oglethorpe laid the city out in a series of grids that allowed for wide open streets intertwined with shady public squares and parks that served as town meeting places and in the future could be good centers of business.
A view of Savannah on the on 29th of March 1734 facing the opposite bank of the river belonging to South Carolina.
The prosperity of Savannah presented another problem. When people founded or moved to Georgia they were promised 100 acres if they paid there own way or 40 if they were paid for by the Trustees to come over. Now that the survival of the colony was not at risk people wanted there promised land.
A reasonable request the only problem Oglethorpe had no system for distribution of land.
________________________________
Ultimately Oglethorpe decided on a.....
[] Free for all-People go out claim a lot of land defend it and at the end of the day it's there's
[] Land lottery-People put there name in a jar and one family was randomly selected for that plot of land
[] Write In
_________________________________
Another hot issue debate was that a group of Sephardi Jews had sailed up the Savannah river and arrived at the colony unannounced now there was a debate were do we put the Jews.
[] North Side of town
[] South side of Town
[] let them decide

Georgia was a unique colony some would call Georgia weird. But that was just part of the colony's charm. As the year of 1734 dragged on Georgia steadily grew. Early in the year the Trustee government of the colony passed a new bill on how to distribute land. The Trustees came of with a unique system to distribute land. The way this system worked was a family could claim any plot of land they wanted. But if another family disputed the land they had to gamble for the land in the City Hall under the watch of city officials. The people received this new system...
Dice Roll-99
Very well People took to the system well the people were expecting some drawn out overly bureaucratic process and were quite surprised by overly loose for the Trustees anyway process. The problems that came with this system were.....
Dice Roll-84
Also surprisingly very little there were a few fights like that fist fight that broke out on the North side of Savannah. Slowly but surely more people moved to Savannah but no new towns were springing up in Georgia. But Oglethorpe had recruited a group of people refereed to by the Georgians as Salzburgers. The Salzburgers while grateful to Oglethorpe wanted to have there own settlement but Oglethorpe didn't know where to put them but he eventually decided.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
[] Up River- They will settle slightly up river with Savannah being simply a boat ride to get to Savannah (New Ebeneezer)
[] Really Up River- we were planning on putting a small military outpost Far up river from Savannah we will just send the Salzburgers with the soldiers (Augusta)
[] Send them south- Send them south and have them settle up river on a completely new river (old Ebeneezer)
[] send them far south- send them to St. Simmons Island in the far south of the colony's claim (Fort frederica)

Georgia marches onward 1735

As the Salzburgers arrived the Oglethorpe had to decide where he would put them. After much debate he eventually decided to send them to establish a town called Augusta. A few months ago a small military fort was established far up river to establish a greater presence in Georgia's claimed territories. The fort was named Fort Augusta. Already it was hard to supply a Fort so far up river so it was decided to send the Slazburgers to establish a town under the protection of the fort. How did the Salzburgers react to this news....
Dice Roll=41
Not very well they were furious about being sent into what they considered complete wilderness 1/3rd of the entire Salzburgers abandoned Georgia crossing the Savannah River and settling in South Carolina instead. But luckily the other 2/3rds of the Salzburger population was calmed down and eventually convinced to settle next to Fort Augusta..... with the right bribes placed in the right hands of course.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Furthermore there was a debate if Georgia should direct settlement towards a specific direction some argued for the coastal region others argued to encourage settlement along the Savannah River to connect Savannah and Augusta. But in the end it is up to Oglethorpe to decide anything in the end he chose to.....
[] Direct settlement to the Coast- Securing the coast is vital to the colony's well being this must be done with all due haste
[] Direct settlement along the Savannah River- The interior of Georgia is the future of the colony it is vital that we secure the border with our hostile neighbor and fellow British colony South Carolina.
[] Do not direct settlement- Let the people choose
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Also of interest is that the Governor of South Carolina has died and His majesty's government is offering Oglethorpe the position Governor of South Carolina on the condition that he steps down from the Board of Trustees. But did Oglethorpe abandon the colony of his creation for personal gain...
[] Yes-He has formally resigned as the Trustee Governor the colony mourns the loss of her creator and awaits the new Governor appointed by the Trustees.
[] No-Our governor has honor he would never leave the colony for a better post like some common London Prostitute!

January,1- George Galphin (sometimes spelled Golphin) establishes a trading post at Ogeechee Old Town
January,10- Scottish Highlanders under the command of Hugh MacKaye arrive in Savannah on the Prince of Wales.
Janurary,19- The Highland Scots settle a town on the coast called New Inverness (Darien,Georgia)
February,5- Symond and London Merchant arrive at Tybee Roads. Among the passengers are Charles and John Wesley
February,6- The Wesleys disembark on The Peeper (now Cockspur Island)
February,19- Oglethorpe deciding that he wants to build a Fort on St.Simons after all lands on the Island to oversee final stage of construction after a short voyage from Savannah.
February,27- Christian Priber having left Georgia arrives in Charleston and petitions the Government of South Carolina for a warrant of survey (land survey rights)
March,7- John Wesley gives The first official sermon in Georgia conducted by an ordained priest of the Church of England. (Not actually in a church in one of Savannah's many public squares)
March,18- Oglethorpe heads south from Fort Frederica (St. Simons Island) to continue scouting the coast of Spanish-controlled Florida
March,23- Battery of cannon are mounted at Fort Frederica
April,11- Unhappy over an incident with James Oglethorpe, Charles Wesley leaves for England.
September,10- Responding to the threat of Spanish troops, General Oglethorpe writes his friend, Sir Joseph Jekyll, and mentions that Spain has 1,500 regulars in St. Augustine while there is only militia in Georgia
November,29- Oglethorpe returns to England to petition the crown for money to defend Georgia
_______________________________
Dice roll-59
Colonization of Georgia went okay with a steady stream of people settling along the Savannah river. Though not nearly as much people came as Oglethorpe hoped would. Georgia now has 1,000 new people settled along the Savannah plus the Highland Scots settled on the coast.

Sorry for no choices this was more of a filler till I can figure out a more effective system.

Hey I'm implementing a new system tell me how you like it.
_______________________________
War between Great Britain and The Empire of Spain is an increasingly likely possibility as a British Colony that borders the Spanish it might be advisable to prepare.
Martial- pick one
[] reinforce Fort Fredrica- Fort Fredrica is the first and last line of defense if Fort Fredrica falls than there will be nothing to stop the Spanish from taking Savannah. So it would be advisable to reinforce the Fort so it can hold against any Spanish assault.
[] Build Fortifications in Savannah- Savannah the Capital and largest town of the colony is currently defenseless this needs to change.
[] Build Fortifications in Augusta- Augusta the second largest town in Georgia is defenseless this needs to change.
[] Recruitment of Militia- The Colonial Government has decided that a formal militia will be established to defend Georgia against the Spanish.
[] Appeal to The Crown- appeal to the King to send a regiment of Redcoats to defend the Colony.
[] write in
_______________________________
Stewardship- pick one
War, Turmoil and crisis might happen but nothing stops the management of Georgia.
[] Establish Courts- Georgia has no official Courts in the Colony all Trials are handled in public squares this needs to change.
[] Government Grants- Grant money so people can start up businesses and farms.
[] Borrow Money from The Crown- Georgia needs more money ask the Crown for a loan though this is unlikely as the total debt of the colony is nearing 5,000 pounds.
[] Request a new Priest- Savannah's priest recently left the colony for good let's ask the Church of England to send a new priest.
[] write in
______________________________
Intrigue- pick one
I spy with my little eye something....
[] Spy on Spanish Florida- It is best to keep tabs on enemies.
[] Spy on South Carolina- we are part of the same nation but relations between us are hostile might want to keep tabs.
[] write in
______________________________
Diplomacy- pick one
Diplomatic relations are an essential part of running any kind of Government.
[] Talk to South Carolina- Best to keep relations good with our fellow Colony.
[] Talk to Spanish Florida- Let is see if we can prevent a war.
[] talk to Creek Nation- Let us make deals with te Creek Nation to keep them out of a potential war or bring them to our side.
[] talk to Cherokee Nation- Let us make deals with the Cherokee Nation to keep them out of a potential war or bring them to our side.

Recruitment of Militia-35
This did not go well improper advertising and a slew of incompetent mistakes means that Georgia only has 100 poorly trained Milita men.
_______________________________
Establish courts-70
This went as well as is to be expected Georgia now has three civilian courts in Savannah, Augusta and New Inverness as well as one military court in Savannah which will handle court-martial trials.
______________________________
Spy on South Carolina-72
We found out bad news a slave leader is planning a mass runaway of slaves from the plantations hoping to cross the Savannah river and get to Georgia which is free of slavery.
_____________________________
Talk to South Carolina-6
Also the slaves have already ran away and are heading for the Savannah river. South Carolina is furious with us for being who we are and they have said if we don't stop the runaway slaves South Carolina will send slave hunters backed up by the South Carolina militia.
