Its founder has tried to blackmail me for the fruits of my labour. Now this ‘family’ aims to rob an honest and humble entrepeneur of his business enterprise. Will I submit to their industrial might? Will I buckle under their strength? Nay! I will renew my efforts, and continue to offer this fine community the services and goods it so greatly desires and deserves. Moreover, I will strive to aid my customers with more than mere cogs and gemstones in the future. Oppressed citizens of prince ais523’s domain, I implore you! Do not surrender your soul to some mindless corporation. Do not allow vague promises of a bright and prosperous future to cloud your vision. It is not through gear and steam alone, but through the strong hearts and ingenuity of good men and women like you that utopia will be reached! Are you content to scavenge for bits and pieces of usable material for the rest of your life, or do you dare to dream of more? Together we can reach to the heavens, as equals. I do not ask you your loyalty. I do not ask you to become a member of a ‘family’ of slaves. All I ask of you is your friendship, and I offer mine in return. Allow me to help you to shape your own future, make the impossible possible and, most importantly, build really cool machines. Isn’t that what we were meant to do, what we desire most? Beardco has been forced to reassess its prices once again by the ruthlessness of its competitor. I am now offering the use of my state-of-the-art facilities at the price of 1 (noncoal) resource per transaction! After the third transaction of the week, I’ll let you use them for free for the rest of the week! Beardco. Tomorrow’s technology, today. 2010-03-09T22:19:48+00:00 http://blognomic.com/archive/helping_out_the_family/ http://blognomic.com/archive/helping_out_the_family/#When:18:43:04Z Dear JOSHTECK family, I think we should show everyone, that JOSHTECK, an open-mindes company and community, is better than a selfish monopolist. (Well, with our help he is not a monopolost anymore. Thanks, Sir Josh!) I encourage you, the family members, to offer better trades for us. Together we can reach each status we want to. Would be even nice, mostly for our appearance, if we would all raide this week. These few guards will not stop the family, will they? I have invented a Cogmold recently - for the family of course. As I wanted you to profit from my new power, just give me n Iron and you will receive n - 2 Cogs. I will only win one Cog by doing so. And it‘s my part to power this invention… So this should be fair. But this offer is only for our family. :) We need to be a strong community! Also, to be a fair Commoner, there is another trade offer for everyone else: For n Iron I will give you n - 3 Cogs. That’s even cheaper than Sir Purplebeard‘s Cog Trade Offer. (*whisper* Sir Purplebeard is the incarnation of the dark. Do not trust him though.) Finally, do you, the family members, have any other family plans? I will be the last one, who will stop such plans! Just tell me (and the other ones, of course!) Kind regards, Sir Keba. PS: I know I am not a family member yet. But I am quite sure, I will be one later… 2010-03-09T18:43:04+00:00
