Retech

Basically I'm trying to keep myself as the majority on the moon, because if Grim comes along with however trillion dollars he has, he'll start plopping biodomes all over the place. That is basically my concern.

Earthsage and I won't be (I believe Earth, but me at least) here Saturday, because we have a school trip.

The United Lunar States of America declares the moon its sovereign territory, and starts putting little American flags all over the place to make that rather clear. (Like the little ones you can probaly buy in a store for a dollar or something) Of course this doesn't mean that you can't settle here, but it's to give me justification incase someone starts plopping biodomes all over the place (Grim!), to take them down if necessary. Otherwise, if you just PM or post here asking to build a biodome, it'll most likely be a yes, if you're not building a super laser or bringing troops on the planet. Oh, and I have an offer for anyone who is interested. Basically, if you pay me 1.5 trillion to build a biodome in your name (more profitable and less expensive, since I'm already on the moon. You can give portions at a time, like a wonder.), I will give you fifty billion dollars every ten years, which increases to a hundred billion or more when I increase my infrastructure. The biodome is otherwise your sovereign territory, but I will manage it and defend it as if it were one of my own biodomes. Soooo, a cheaper and easier solution than building your own dome. Pros: Cheaper Doesn't require mass drivers or anything Not responsible for defence of dome Cons: Does cost a decent sum of money, though not as much as actually landing on the moon and building your own biodome Not responsible for defence of dome

Capitalism has no boundaries! Viva la Commercialism!

Okay, I am giving aid missions to Afghanistan, if no one else is. Infact, I will outbid everyone else in aid missions if necessary! But I'd rather not, but can I please aid mission him? :D --- On further reading, I have discovered he took Sri something instead, but it turns out I can still aid mission him anyways.

Oh Archi, what is Afghanistan's GDP? In 2000, it says that it's negligible, and in 2008, it says that it's 28 billion.

Also noting that it'll be very expensive to deploy troops on the moon from Earth, hence why I am carefully screening things coming to the moon for weapons. My intention is to have the moon as a refuge, so that if someone is wiped out on Earth, they can always have a quiet existance on the moon. I am also beginning the development of moon gravity adjusted weaponary, of all the standard weaponary and tanks and ships that the colonists had when they came to the moon. As I am the only one on the moon, I think I'll get a nice edge on that.

Me! Grim, I will make the moon a neutral territory, and build a matter gate for it, so you don't need to build one. Basically the rule is that you can't bring an army of soldiers, or bioweapons. Other than that, it's pretty simple. ----- Also, requesting aid missions and lump sum donations pwease. Also, is there a country small enough that I can give aid missiosn to it?

The United Lunar States of America asks their former and hopefully future ally France to donate a small tranportation ship (for maybe fifty people), in order to use it as transport for emisarries and diplomats. That being said, (this is if there's no objection), I continue research on whatever space flight stuff I had before. (Basically I said I was putting money into spaceflight, but I didn't know how long we were setting for it to be completed, because we hadn't exactly planned that) ---- Can you reliably block a matter gate?

If I do get my moon base and you can transport your people, you can send a few thousand people (assuming each biodome can hold a decent population) to live in my biodomes and see how it's like.

Since America is split up so much and I doubt anyone would want to relinquish their hold of it, any people that voted about me getting America and that have no qualms with me having a moon base, should vote for moon base. :P Archi has said that I will not get any IAG unless it is directly given to me, which is sorta wierd since all the IAG in America basically disappeared.

Ok, sounds good. Now to convince the others. :thumbsup: To the others, basically why I can't take America anymore is because Archi isn't going to give me an IAG unless you contribute, which I'm aware is not in your best interest. The moon is not that far away, and would just add another strategic dimension to the game.

Actually, I really like that moon idea! Just wondering a few things: 1) How do you make a new biodome/city/base/etc? 2) When it says times infrastructure, does that mean multiply it by the actual infrastructure, or like the system we've been using before. Also Sere, I can still sorta fill in for you once in a while when you're gone, but the only things I would probaly do were research tech, increase defences, and do whatever you asked me to do, so I would be like the regent of the Kingdom, and not really a player for Britannia. --- Oh Snubbe, the Weather Paradigm was built by Dusty already.

Okay, gotcha. If Archi allows it, the IAG I would've started with goes to Britannia, which is 500 billion I think. -----

Rawr, so Grim is the culprit here. ----- Sere, I'll go with your offer, since hopes of an independant country are being dashed by a certain someone. -Cough Grim cough-

And if I can, I will give my entire IAG as an aid mission to Paul if I can, or Dusty.

Oh, thank you. :D

Fourty eight states minus East of Mississippi, minus Texas, plus part of Canada, and maybe Mexico. Basically I would fill in for him if he had to go away for real life stuff. ----- Paul, can you please do it as a personnel favor? I'll try to give you lots of aid missions to boost your IAG.

True, but such technicalities are trivial. Any chance that I could purchase the region in the future? :P

That works. :P Since I might own the land around Texas soon, your troops have free passage through the land immediately around Texas, if necessary. I'll even protect it for you, if you'd like, since it's on North America. ----- How about if I say pretty please? :D ----- No worries, and thanks Grim. I happen to still have my own fortifications there. :P

Thanks Dusty! That would be really nice, and thank you. Grim, thank you as well. Does anyone think that five hundred billion for an IAG is unreasonable?

Just wondering, what was Dusty meaning by Texas? There isn't a Texas region, but I believe it's one of the brown ones.

Once I sort the Hegemony matter out, then maybe.

I don't think it's much of a defensive advantage. The atmospheres would only be different in the way that Earth people on Mars might feel tired after running for ten minutes, while Martians on Earth would feel high on oxygen. ---- What part of America?

I'm just going to be really blunt, and say that I wouldn't be able to rest when a part of America wasn't in American hands. Remember what happened with Central America? :rolleyes:
