Morgan's Capitalist Empire! Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

Although it was unusual, Mr Chaunk was taking some time of work to "muse". Things were going well. There had been the usual reports of people flocking to the bastion of the credit, and yet the hordes had yet to come.

"Good!" he unconsciously said out loud. "More for the rest of us!" Although he was a lowly janitor, Mr Chaunk had more wealth than most factions leaders could dream of. His personal fortune was estimated at 7.8 E.c.'s and according to his stockbroker, it was only going to increase from here.

However, it seemed as if there was no one nearby to gloat over. Whilst fewer certainly equals richer, it also equals lonelier.

Mr Chaunk voice activated his I-net terminal and placed the following ad.


Wanted!
Workers for C.E.O. Morgan's plutocracy. Rates generous. Perks exceptional. House and Whore* guaranteed!

*Whore of gender and inclination applicable to applicant of course.



And now he could only wait. He rang his bell, and once again berated the lack of servants in Morgan Central. He sighed.

"I guess I'll have to get my own tea again... My whore can't cook for toffee..." He muttered as he wandered off to prepare himself some champagne and caviare.

Life was good none the less. Very very good.

****

A few days later, Director Chaunk checked his advertisement, and to his surprise and delight, he had many responses. He checked the names:

AndiD
Archaic
arginine
Arnelos
CEO Aaron
Comrade Micha
Comrade Tassadar
Conmcb25
Croesus
Fazdaar
Frankychan
Googlie
Impaler
Jtsisyoda
Rubin
Vander
Whoha
ZargonX

Good! Things were running very smoothly indeed. With himself, that made 19 investors in Mr Morgan's conglomorate, and hopefully still more to come.

Life was now looking even better. Much MUCH better.

Don't offer jobs, float the company. Offer shares, and a chance to investors.

Why should I put my money in Morgan Industries?

My dear Jamski, I'm sure you're aware that even the most humble of workers (such as myself) in Morgan industries has wealth far exceeding even your wildest dreams. But then, they do say that soldier training dulls the mind to all of lifes pleasures...

Very well then, I shall spell it out for you.

Pros of joining Morgan's faction:
More money than Jamski could imagine.
Investment opportunities par excellance. Investors predict a 1000% increase in profits for M.Y. 2101->2102.
Spacious accomodation, with all the latest mod cons.
Instant response to any problems with accomodation or miscellanious "extra's".
Free whore.
Easily accessable governors who will listen to your every need, and solve any problems by simply utilising all and any ecconmic measure necessary.
Small military demading extortionate support costs and poking thier noses in where they're not needed (unlike in some factions)
50% greater interest rate than all other banks.
Did I mention the vast wealth?

Cons to joining Morgan's faction:
Only one free whore

I know which bank my energy chip would go to!

OOC : I've played my best games with the Morgans, and my worst games with the Spartans. Time to give Santiago's lot a chance, as I feel I would learn a lot more than another Morgan run.

However... should the Spartans not make the final cut, my veteran's pension money will be spent on Morgan Industries stock papers

Why, we surely do accept planetpearls! However, after running an extensive credit check, your account is severly lacking in the means to aquire the 51% stock you desire. Will you settle for 0.051% instead?

We can discuss the exact terms later if you wish!

Edit: UnOrthOdOx, as I said before, perhaps the best of all teams for a merc. Think of the lack of competition for upper ranks, the incomparable funds that can be recieved from even a single mission & perhaps most importantly, free access to any and all of the pleasures (:naughty of the Conglomerate as you wish!

I am seeking more of a team willing to hire out their services. I don't expect to become high ranking as I am still rather novice at the game itself. However, if the Morgans, in their eternal quest for money, would see fit that their military should be hired out as yet another source of INCOME....

That would indeed interest me greatly, and I have been working on the concept some in other demogames and PBEM's in Civ3, so can help with the structure and implimentation of such a...BUSINESS.

Chauk your offer is tempting, I am willing to invest a sum of 2.2 Energy Credits and Sign a contract for 5 years of service in exchange for a 15% stake in Morgan Industries and the tile of Vice President. What do you say?

In other words sign me up!

Also I think we should keep up on this shares of Morgan Industries theam, it could be used to organize our future goverment, we would sell stock and trade it with people to see who runs the faction.

Only problem with Morganic Mercenaries is that their would likly have crappy Moral (running Wealth) and they induce high support costs in minerals.

Morgan WEAPON MANUFACTURING though is a usefull tool, as he can rush buy and transfer units and charge a premium price for it to industry poor factions (yes you know who I am refering too). Also their the option of Reserch for Profit as Morgan often has plenty of Energy income.

Welcome Mr Impaler! Your stock transfer has been accepted, Expect to see your whore shortly!

It would be very morganite to hire out their military, although that would need more discusion I feel. To be fair, it seems as if only Morgan (and perhaps Sparta) would do such mercenary things... It does strike me a viable scheme, and one that all the stockholders should serioulsy consider!

Morgan's Mercenaries could become feared (and perhaps even scorned by the spartans for being too wet behind the ears!) and paid for by the plebs as we wish. I'm intruiged by that propasal actually.... hopefully it will get more support!

Oh, and obstructor, I fear you should contact the angels sooner, as your horde of planetpearls seems to have mysteriously appeared in their possesion. Curiouser and curiouser!

A mere fraction of the bones I fear... We're in dire need of some of the more experienced players who are currently in teams in the DG atm. Purely going on this thread, we have three lucrative members atm, and whilst that represents perhaps a good core, it's not sufficient for a DG team I fear. We will certainly need at least two more (although I'm obviously hoping for many more than that!) to make a viable stab at being a team.
