Dear Settler,
Congratulations! Your application to be a citizen in a contest to see who can best develop a yet unnamed island has been accepted! You shall develop the towns and villages under the banner of myself, the Earl of Martan. Godspeed!

Dear Settler,
Welcome to the island! We have provided you the supplies for one town and one road. Settle anywhere you like, but not too close to the competing settlers.
—
Dear Settler,
Oh, oh no. You should not have settled there, you see you will harvest too much wool and not enough wood, we want your town to be efficiently contribute to the cause. Not to worry, we have provided you with supplies for a second village and road.

Dear Settler,
It has come to our attention that the northwest road you are building has no where to go and we insist you stop building it. This is just a formality, but you may find that building any further is impossible as neighboring societies have also built roads in the vicinity.

Dear Settler,
As you may well already know, a band of thieves is in your area. Cease producing any goods from the resources they are marauding and keep your villagers safe. Our army is abroad and we can do nothing about this for the time being. Stay safe!

Dear Settler,
After some reallocation of resources we are proud to announce that we have the largest army on the island! For some reason, the rules of the contest only state that we can use our armies keep the bandits away, not forcefully annex neighboring villages.
—
Dear Settler,
You are hear by notified that the village in which you formerly lived is now a vibrant city. Being a larger populace we now request twice the resources you were formerly producing.
—
Dear Settler,
In so many words, we have lost the contest. You and other towns like you were not as productive as other towns. My status of Earl is being dissolved and ownership of your settlements is to be assumed by the Duke of Catan. Thank you for your service.
Sincerely the Earl of Martan
