This would be a bit hard, but how about a program like that virtual chatroom thingo...hobbo or whatever it's called.
It would take a bit of work, but, meh, wishful thinking.

I like that idea.

5,000 dollars per AGSer, if 3,000 AGSers pay...

Anyway, ask DGMacPhee, he is the Minister of Economy...

We should build an airport, huts, and some other facilities. I am specially worried about the hurricanes, so, I think we should have a bunker. In a high place... I would say we might need some other million of dollars, or two.

Isn't it only $500?Ã,Â - and then the extra million.Ã,Â Still, if we all pay $70 a month for a year, we would have more than that! (12 * 70 * 3,000 = 2,520,000). Besides, who needs an airport, we are honest pirates? And with everything going on, a hurricane will just be a welcome distraction, nothing critical, (especially now that the King has grown gills):

Quote from: The King
Rumours of my death were greatly exaggerated.

After getting involved in a fist fight with an angry rabbit over a parking space, I stumbled into the English Channel where I lay dead on the seabed for 2 weeks... whereupon a friendly mermaid breathed her magical breath into my lungs and I awoke from my slumber, only to find that I had grown gills.

Giddy with this new found underwater bliss, I remained under the surface, gently moving through the water whiling away my days, until I was attacked by a Great White Shark and had to beat a hasty retreat to the surface and back into civilization.

...still, we might need a few sponsors, just in case.

We can allways try selling AGS-related goods. T-shits, cups, keyrings, posters and other stuff. Who wouldn't want a Roger-shaped keyring or a Spooks T-shirt?

Sorry.... I made the division in Excel, I didn't believed the cypher of 500 Dollars (too cheap for my mind) and repeated it. I think I unconsciently goofed it the second time.

500 bucks? well, the price is not unafordable. What should be tricky is to demmand 500 dollars to the "one-post" members!

fred · Tue 09/05/2006 11:28:05

Well, who says we should DEMAND anything? We'll just TAKE it, once we hunt them down with our dogs.

I didn't take my place in Christopia yet...

I am the local eccentric rich weirdo, who lives in some kind of freaky castle on the hill outside of town. During the nights, you can hear things happening in it and there is a wide variety of rumours regarding the nature of those sounds/yells/screams/whatever.

I also secretely aid the rebellion against the King.

skw · Tue 09/05/2006 12:42:41

Since my last post here, I've been working on the anthem but ended up with something like that, completely improvised on a lame guitar:

click!

Thou shalt rise the cup of blue / where the magical shining brew, the lyrics say.

Seriously, I'm going to finish the whole thing just after the exams. I will change the music theme and probably use some medieval chords, like the true bard should. Some parts of the lyrics will be also in Latin (I've learned it for a year), so it's going to be epic as hell!

Hail!

I believe in healthy financial concurrence and I will not go to my friends in the press to denounce the contract our mighty King signed with you as a result of his date with Ms Hayek, although I was the one he had promised to give the constructions rights.
So, I will mind my business, invest in important researchÃ,Â and build modern, efficient, environment friendly buildings for the rich and famous so I will make friends among them . Just in case, you know.

If, I said "if", your buildings are found to be of low standards because of bad quality materials and negligent work, if your workers are on strikes all the time and your company gets involved in corruption scandals, your company shares go downhill and your family makes the front pages for DUI - news I will have the sad duty to ~~set up~~ tell some journalists and let the public know- then the mighty King might reconsider and giveÃ,Â the damn contracts to me.

I think the drawing of a map is in order....

Maybe an ongoing compo. to add to the island...

Afflict · Tue 09/05/2006 22:03:28

Ah what the heck Cp you and I can share the building contract.. I sit back and earn cash while you work. I mean of course do the admin while you get your hands dirty

Just kidding Hey MOD that sounds kewl maybe we should draw this virtual paradise!

It could look rather kewl. Especially if we do it in a dimensional way instead of top down. And make it all coneptualized to make it look like when investors plan to build these places and stuff..

That could be kewl. Or maybe everybody designs there own pad on the island.

lo_res_man · Tue 09/05/2006 23:56:59

I like the idea of designing our own pad. we could all draw some building, maybe even make some sprite representing ourselves, and then we could put it on some big Caribbean map.

Puts a whole new spin on "Super-Size Me!"

Akumayo · Wed 10/05/2006 23:38:23

Well, since we haven't heard from the rebellion in a while, why not escort our army of wemon back into ~~our houses~~ the city?

Army of wemon? When did we get such?

Just out of curiosity... what are these 'wemon' you speak of?

Apparently, the only weapons they have are lemons.

So, I've spoken with the minister of economy who has agreed to buy a packet of bicarbonate.

In case of attack, the worst think that can happen is the juice to reach the eyes. If that happens, every Christopian will have to clean his eyes with bicarbonated water. The simulacres will start today 1800 CET.
