New Imperialism - AH RP v1.3 [OOC/Signup]

[Saragrossa]

Well a Robber baron is a business people who squashes competition by undercutting them, and exploiting workers and having high level government lobbyists then once they kill competition, they artificially dump stocks and kill the companies and have super duper profits.. i am just assuming,

Ah yes, capitalism.

But yeah they won't be crashing any economies. Look how trust busting went in the US, went pretty well quite frankly. That's basically exactly what I plan to do with my robber barons.

Would be unfortunate if Teddy Roosevelt had an accident.

I don't have the technology.

El Cerrejon Central and South Zones could be opened up for foreign companies.

Well, unless your doing mountaintop or contour mining then you should be fine. Room and pillar mining is the norm along with Blast mining and room and pillar is basically cutting out rooms in coal then using a sturdy coal to form the pillar in the room and it can be extracted when you retreat and blasting is basically blowing it up and your cuttign the coal bed with explosives but its probably takes the most skill and precise

I can't process it, so I need someone else to do it.

And why he would is beyond me.

That is true. You can't do anything of that sort Sara. I think you are taking this RP a bit to seriously. Like I can see your stress in your posts.

[Mishmahig]

He's wasted in that. Teddy should come to France where I will engineer a series of extraordinarily unlikely events to make him the French Prime Minister, and then he shall lead the Second Republic across Europe in a tidal wave of French nationalism and imperialism!

Vive France! Vive Teddy Roosevelt!

pls nu

I think you meant 'pls yus'.

After all, imagine it -- Teddy Roosevelt, speaking bombastically in bad French, introducing the Bull Moose Party in the halls of the National Assembly, striding across Yurop at the head of the mighty French Army, seeking to relive the heady days of the French Empire!

"Speak softly and carry a big baguette" shall be his famous saying in this era!

To be honest, you might get Teddy R just so that can become a thing.

Yes please! I WOULD LOVE IT!

Would it be alright if people like Rockefeller, Ford, and Edison relocated to different states and were in NeSA? I feel like that is something that really needs to be addressed about North America.

I'd rename some of them and give them say a Swedish name or more Frenchie name or whatever, but it'd basically be the same person and do the same things.

One problem with all of this is that Teddy Roosevelt was 100% Dutch in RL and was from New York which in this RP is Dutch.

I moved him to my Dutch-Native hybrid of a state right next to the Dutch colony.

He is from New Amsterdam, not the original one.

What's your point?

Dude, how do you, like, think we convinced everyone that, like, federalism was a good idea.

Weed. Fuck tonnes of weed.

Ford is Chicagoan, Rockefeller, would be......Dutch, And Edison would also be chicagoan

Actually...

TR is Dutch and a politician in the UP? Damn, I love these RP's; seen how a simple territorial claim can completely change history.

Damn. Look at how we have changed history so much!

[The Kingdom of Glitter]

Ford is Chicagoan, Rockefeller, would be......Dutch, And Edison would also be chicagoan

Except Chicago is highly native. Why would you have these very English men predominately creating the economy of a very Native nation?

Plus, Rockefeller was from New York but he was heavily involved in Pennsylvania's oil market. So stuff like that really does need to be worked out because it would change a lot about everyone's economy.

He was already claimed I believe.

Hate to burst your bubble, but location is only part of the equation.

Sure, IOTL Teddy was born in New York. But, and I could be wrong here, I do believe he had British ancestry. ITTL, the British never settled in Nieuw Amsterdam as it remained a Dutch colony. He wouldn't be Dutch, he just wouldn't exist.

[The Kingdom of Glitter]

He was already claimed I believe.

I am not saying I have to have all these people, I'm just asking what happened to them and where are they, basically.

Because quite frankly is would completely change the face of the economies of everyone who has holding on the East Coast.

Aww

That actually makes much more sense.

I am not really sure what happened to them. I guess you can create a character equivalent to Rockefeller, not sure though.

Although after looking on Wikipedia one of his ancestors had the name 'Van Schaack Roosevelt' so it is entirely possible he was Dutch in ancestory

The chance of him being in Nieuw Amsterdam is still incredibly slim, though, as his ancestors wouldn't have really had the whole 'American Dream' thing to think about.

[The Kingdom of Glitter]

That's also what I was asking, essentially. If I could basically rename Rockefeller, move his birthplace, and still have the character make something like Standard Oil. Same with Ford, Edison, and basically everything else ever to exist.
