International Mercantile Assemblage(SighUp/Open)

[Demporia]

_{The Mercantile Assemblage}

The Mercantile Assemblage is just that, a group of economically minded nations and corporations. Working, and trading in unison to derive the largest benefit, and thus profit possible for all its members. And to defend and protect the institution of free trade in all member states. Along with this, it also regulates trade between members, discusses price setting, and restrictions to be placed on certain goods. It is to be expected that member nations and groups shall share their technological advancements between each other. Even if it is only giving the items at a discounted price, without revealing the assembly process and make-up, or for certain items the design plans.

Finally, the funds donated or earned by the Assemblage. Shall be used to bail out, help members in recovery efforts when needed, and to finance prospective projects and explorations.

Note: We're a realist, modern day association, please only apply if your MT. Or willing to play within that spectrum.

What is to be expected of me?:
As described above, members are expected to share advancements in goods or economic practices, within reason. You should participate in the rp's we set up. And if your a storefront, it'd be nice if you would offer a discount to members. However, this is in no way required.

What will I get in return?:
Besides access to the shared proprietary knowledge, and possible discounts listed above. You will also become part of a much greater, and ever expanding trade network. And the many resources and connections of other members shall be made available to you. Besides this, you'll also be allowed, nay encouraged to participate in the many rp threads to come.

Accepted, and I'm glad to see you here. I'll get something for you to do up and running soon, but until that time feel free to offer input on anything that comes up/has come up on this thread. Or if your really into the idea of the Assemblage, you can create your own rp.

[Bereia]

The bare bones of an idea just popped into my head. How about a trade summit between I.M.A. member-states, with a possible terrorist/hostage situation mixed in?

Hmm, I was already planning a Summit. Perhaps throwing a hostage situation into the mix would be rather fun.

As a quick question, is anyone wanting to host such a Summit? If not I will gladly do it myself.

[Bereia]

I could do it, but since you founded the Assemblage perhaps you should have the honor? We could make it a regularly scheduled event, rotating between member-states. The summit itself, not a hostage crisis. That would be...so awkward.

IC: "Yes, I do believe its your turn to be ritualistically kidnapped and beat... Perhaps we can throws some rape in this year?"

Yea... Lets make it a one time thing. Honestly, I'd really like to host it. So, if no one else minds. Also, I do like the idea of the scheduled event, and I was planning something similar. Perhaps every two months or so? Seeing as rps like this tend to last a while anyway.

[Bereia]

IC: "Yes, I do believe its your turn to be ritualistically kidnapped and beat... Perhaps we can throws some rape in this year?"

So awkward.

I don't mind at all, and as to the summit being a repeat affair, I proposed it, so it would make very little sense for me to be against the idea now.

[Demporia]

Okay then let me make the write up... It'll be up later today.

On another note, what do you guys think of our logo/symbol/thingy up top? I made it a ship-wheel for obvious reasons. But just wanted to know what everyone thought.

[Bereia]

Looks good to me. I'd have made it in a shade of blue, but the green works just fine. It's also just detailed enough to look decent, without seeming overdone.

Well everyone seems to be blue now-a-days. So, I made us a special butterfly. Joking aside, I was aiming for originality.

[Bereia]

I had assumed as much.

For the trade summit, as well as political leaders I would assume representatives of major corporations would be welcome? I am trying to figure out whom I might send.

Well, nations and corporations are supposed to register separately. But if your corporation is purely an rp company, and not actually a storefront in GE&T then yes, feel free to send them. However, please do also send someone representing your nation as well, if the company is state-sponsored then I guess you could get away with just sending it's representative. As long as its realistic, and they have a reason to be there feel free to send them.

[Demporia]

And I've done it guys, I'd appreciate it if all of you could show up. If we don't get more than two people we might have to reschedule.
