Corporate Cosmos [OOC | Open]

[Auphelia]

I’m interested to see how you will handle contracts and calculating employment figures. Also accepted.

You can never have too much bureaucracy!

[Harkback Union]

I was hoping to be a major but I saw there were already 3 other so I thought I would burn my corp to the ground and start over as a minor...

[The Burning Sun]

Well then, here's my first innovation:

Omoikane Gene Clinic - costs 5 Capital and 2 Innovation - the result of a merger between Weyland-Yutani, Higan Pharmaceuticals, and the urban branch of Kappa Heavy Construction, Omoikane Medical has recently started to open the Yama Group's first "human improvement clinics" to bring the fruits of technology to the general populace. +5/2/thereabouts Capital per Clinic every time an advancement is used, unlocks the following minor advancement for host Power:

Subsidize Omoikane Medical - pay me X Capital, get 2X Public Opinion.

Start over in sunny India, the only country with more trees than people!

And ten years free without taxes . . .

*holds out a contract*

You know you want it.

Cool, cool, makes sense.

Well, I'll be doing these via Tg. But this isn't a bad example of what you should do- though the +5 Capital/Clinic/Advancement is too strong, if the Advancement is a Minor Advancement.

Corporation Application
Name: Ragnorov Heavy Industries
Operating Base: Landsraad Hegemony
Leader Name: Klaus Emberston
Brief History: Ragnorov Heavy Industries was initially a corporation based in what would become the GRU, but during the revolution and the subsequent disbandment of all private corporations, fled with what little assets they had to the Hegemony, leaving the company nearly penniless. However, RHI has managed to make a slight comeback after securing a small manufacturing deal the Landsraad military to produce several sub-orbital skiffs for rapid transport, with the influx of capital they've begun production of a civilian line of suborbital skiffs for passenger and cargo flights.
Corporation Expertise: Shipwrights - Ragnorov has always been a forerunner of the manufacture of large, metallic objects designed to withstand the harshest environment to man--space. While they are starting small, their experience will no doubt be boon for the coming exodus.

Minor corp app.

Ooh, shipwrights. I approve. Accepted, and welcome.

Operating Base: Fiji Happy Island!
Leader Name: Mr. Henneberry, the Happy Dairy Farmer! T
Brief History: The Happy Farm Milk Company was established a few years ago and makes milk for all of the happy residents of Happy Island!

We aren't a state, people just listen to us, and when they don't they move away, to live under the sea! It's quite lovely down there? If you ask questions, you get to go down there too! We make milk and give it to people, and they like it! It's all nice here, nothing to see, except our happy citizens enjoying their happy milk while they live their happy lives! And you know they're always happy because they have those happy face masks on!
Corporation Expertise: Milk making! Totally no secret underground labs where we are performing genetic experiments to create supersoldiers unlike the world has ever seen and enslave the minds of all who drink our milk.

Honestly this sounds like a subsidiary of the Yama Group. We could work together, you know - I could always use more resources, and you could definitely use some military support.

Why would we need military support when everyone is always happy here?

Would you like some milk? Then you can be happy too!

Happy . . . so happy . . .

Alright, the map is up. Some of you have slightly different territories than you request, more or less. That's to try and minimize dead conflict-less expansion zones, and start everyone on an even footing. I'm working on the IC right now.

Hmm. Could you perhaps operate somewhere else than Fiji? The Maldives, perhaps? Fiji isn't even on the map, you see.

[Auphelia]

Of course! Perhaps our eternal happiness can spread to India as well!

Would you like some of our milk? You can be happy too!

Tempting, but I think we'll settle for buying the finished product, not the experimental batch.

Oh, this is no experiment.

This is real.

Enslaving . . . er . . . making the minds of the people on this small island bend to our will . . . er . . . making the people of this small island Happy is simply the first step on our path to making the whole world Happy! We just have to figure out how to get the Happiness to travel through the air.

You wouldn't even know about us yet. No one would.

But soon everyone will be Happy. So Happy . . . forever.

That's the Brits, and the Scandinavians. Both apps are still in progress, iirc, but I did say that people that were already working on apps would be allowed to finish them.

I'm aware of both a British and Scandinavian player who are putting together Power applications.

Oh, I see. Do corporate HQ's have any crunch effect, or can we build wherever we want?

Not yet they don't, nope. Feel free to put together an Innovation to, say, increase Capital production in the region where your Corporate HQ is located.

So what are innovations limited to?

[Ralnis]

So are the same rules for secret projects are the same for the last colonies?

[Novas Arcanum]

I'll definitely be keeping a eye on this...

Would you like some Milk?
