The main thing to remember is to join FoM with your new town. If you don't, people will attack your workers until they get all weepy and quit the game. Admittedly, you're going in at a disadvantage since your character name doesn't give visions of fur suits and pederasty but if you always append every forum message with 8 to 10 completely unnecessary and insincere emoticons that might be enough to make up for it.
My experience with FOM towns is their members' inability to stay un-KO'd for more than a few hours. If only they could somehow survive a duel with me now and then, I could have more people to farm.
