Mars 2050 - The Red Dawn - OOC/Signups

[The Grim Reaper]

Hmm, so I start with a biodome, and Seno is starting with a mining colony. There's not much we can do with that from years 1 to 5 unless I revamp my budget expenditures, given that I'm not longer trying to make an industrial colony work.

A service colony is gonna be pretty expensive to get sales going, so we're going to either need to focus IP or media colonies, which can get advertising going for cash moneiz. But media colonies don't give a great cash trade off.

If people had carbon, I could try and sell research to people, cause that's a thing I can do. But I can't buy carbon.

So IP is gonna be the way to go, probs.

Seno, my thinking is that we look at our joint budget and try and buy an industrial colony instead of waiting on two from Martian Investments.

Finally found a way for me to continue without food problems. @Harkback Union should really give colonies starting funds + the sponsors. I barely made it through ffs.

Apple, you know I share a base with Apolline and at least one armed infantry unit, right?

[Harkback Union]

"...we sincerely apologize for our impending attack."

I almost fell out of my chair reading that line. Well done Apple. This deserves to be saved somewhere.

I can beat 1 armed infantry unit. Even if I can't, I just need a little bit of war to please Terran Weapons.

I'm not sure you'll start a war by attacking pacifists, but more power to you. Might not be the best idea to try to go to war with the faction whose entire military doctrine is "we have a kickass satellite".

To be fair, you could defeat his attack with a basic CorpSec hire, or Republican troops.

I'm bankrupt tho

Also, Seno has a second unit of French colonists already, just not deployed Mars-side. We have the food to support them, if he decided to deploy with arms.

I think the trouble is that you need a Military Base to mobilize units.

We're the same base, though. So we'd both be defending.

Yes, but the rules don't formally allow for standard civilians to fight in battle. Otherwise I would have just Zerg-rushed Apple with prisoners

Well, I can't use mercenaries - I don't have reputation up yet, but I'm pretty sure I'm close to Seno, who isn't eligible by reputation for any of the three offers. Less than Good with Moon & Earth, and less than tolerable with corporations, as well as no corporate contract.

[ApplePieistan]

Appeasement's totally an option. I'm not sure if Grim or Seno have anything I want, though.

[Ulls]

You know you have 20 to 25 years to fulfill it right?

Yeah, but I want to get it out of the way while people are still mostly defenseless.

You also have to keep warring with other factions till the deadline or at least make sure that one is still going that you're participating in.

Yeah, I know, but I feel like if I start warring now, Terran Weapons will love me, which might do something good. That or I get more free stuff for not invading people. Both are good options.

Perhaps you could swear allegiance to Bibi, or something like that?
Pay them protection money.

CHANGE OF RULES

Space ports (10 IP), Entertainment districts (10 IP), Perimeter Walls (10 IP), Railroads (10 IP), Superconductor Lines (5 IP), and Atmospheric Furnaces (10 IP), had their costs REDUCED!

10 IP => 7 IP
and
the 5 IP Superconductor line now costs 3 IP

Hallelujah! Praise be.

[Harkback Union]

And, if you find anything else that costs 10 IP. Let me know.

Runs hand greedily

Good

Can USW give me anything? A couple IP, maybe?

Alright, I have 5 bC right now. 2 more if I got my colonists over here, although they would need a place to live.
