[OOC] Colonial Powers NRP (Reboot/New Thread)

[Bright_Ops]

On a slightly more joyous note, all rise for the New Drakran national anthem; We can Rule You Wholesale.

"When dragons belch and hippos flee
My thoughts, New Drakran, are of thee
Let others boast of martial dash
For we have boldly fought with cash
We own all your helmets, we own all your shoes
We own all your generals - touch us and you'll lose.

New Drakran! New Drakran!
New Drakran owns the day!
We can rule you wholesale
Touch us and you'll pay.

We bankrupt all invaders, we sell them souvenirs
We ner ner ner ner ner, hner ner hner by the ears
Er hner we ner ner ner ner ner
Ner ner her ner ner ner hner the ner
Er ner ner hner ner, nher hner ner ner (etc.)
Ner hner ner, your gleaming swords
We mortgaged to the hilt

New Drakran! New Drakran!
Hner ner ner ner ner ner
We can rule you wholesale
Credit where it's due."

Written by President Kiue, who noticed that no matter how patriotic that people are they can never really remember the second verse of the national anthem anyway and thus decided to cut out the middle man.

[gowia]

As a note I am just putting up a quick checklist for myself and your use, please dont think I am starting early.

[darkwolf687]

Be ready to update that, I've already got a deal for more ships once the RP start, hurray!

[gowia]

There is now a Costs list on the OOC page, so people know and dont need to ask me.

[darkwolf687]

OMG. I feel really bad now, the deal I made completely rips the other guy off... I think I better renegotiate xD

[gowia]

I as going to say I dont want everybodies first post to be I am buying THESE ships from ... and now you need to completely redo the stats. And we are now open to posting.

[darkwolf687]

As far as I am aware, its just me buying from places right now, though I think Ducks running a few deals on the side. I think the deal I had made is about to fall through now though, since I cant really afford the new cost

[gowia]

Okay, I just dont want to be broadsided by 20 deals before the RP has really got going is all. Ahhh I understand, yeah I want to make it a little difficult to turn a sector around.

[darkwolf687]

I understand, but bloody hell was that cruel, the prices were many times what we had thought, and I don't have the heart to rip the guy off over an ooc problem. IC I think both our rulers would know the price of ships xD

Haha, what can I say...I am a cruel god;) Aww you are such a sweet guy...ah well atleast you are being a nice ruler and making friends.

So how should we open up?

[gowia]

Respond to being given the map of the new world which is, as of yet, un named. Start contacting other nations and try and forward your own...lots of things to do. I might throw some random events up in a bit.

[null123]

There will be other continents to explore and discover right? And maybe a few islands to colonize as well.

[Iluvatar]

Yay, I was the first to post!

GDP is Gross Domestic Products right? I'm assuming it regenerates over time if you buy something.

[null123]

Its your total income or something like that

Also for reference the path the two groups of colonist will be sent on when they are sent



Oh and a special economic zone is a small area where the Lance Empire is allowing free market and capitalism.

Haha yeah it will regenerate each year.

duck55223, should we start a PM thread between me, you and gowia (so he can see what we're doing) for trade negotiations etc.? Call it an embassy or something?

[darkwolf687]

Seems we choose the same spot for colonisation duck. I wonder who will get there first... Wait, my ships wont sink as soon as they leave the harbour... Well, I guess we know xD

No, because I got help from the really good ships of Keyguy and Numburg, I dont need to use my own ships.

Start a PM but keep between me and you only. Once we have worked everything out I will post it as one big thing in the IC.

[darkwolf687]

i see, I'm going to beat you because my ships will set off much sooner then, huzzah! XD
