Un United States

[Lahbas]

Vermont isn't a state and probably/possibly won't ever be in this game, guys, it's what Emperor Awesome said himself. Now, if you're so set on Vermont that you'd rather wait for a chance to play it and turn down a guaranteed state right now, go for it I guess guys.

I just remeber that Vermont was an independent country around this time before joining the United States. It also was a joke, since it was made as if it didn't exist.

You can add Vermont to your list, but unless the demand is high enough (IE 14 players, each of whom posts in this thread more than once to let me know they are still interested) it wont exist, and hence, wont be playable (This is also to give more for NY and NH to do.)

Help me help you!

As I hope I made clear in the beginning, this game is still under development. I found my old data sheets but want to change things up! For one, the budgets are going to change from what I said earlier. Another thing I want to change is trade. Originally, there were but 12 goods to trade. I want to expand that... A LOT! I'm thinking dozens upon dozens of goods. I'm wondering if you guys wanted to help me make up a full list. In short, how it should work is thus...

Start with goods that come from nature. Mined ores, chopped down trees, furs.
Next, throw them into a 'factory' and turn them into something. Metal rods, 2 by 4s, Hats.
Next, throw that back into a 'factory' and turn it into something else! Railroad rails, Chairs, Fashionable outfits.  Sometimes you can combine them (Rails need ties, Couches need upholstery, etc)

Here is a list of things. Some are good, some are not, just things I've written down that seem realistic for this time. Please share your thoughts with me.

personally I'd prefer that the trade system not get too complicated because it could get really confusing and hard to manage, but if most people are okay with it I can do it.

Watching with great interest...not going to play, though.

I've decided to give everyone time to redo their preferences should they chose to do so.

My state preferences remain the same, but if it helps accomodate more people I'd be willing to play a foreign power...(Britain...France etc)...your call as the GM.

Ha, Bacon King and I traded places.

Ha, Bacon King and I traded places.

If you want to trade state, just either both PM me or both post it here. So long as it's before the game starts, I don't mind.

[fezzyfestoon]

Ugh, I keep confusing people.  I just meant that he's from Georgia and I'm from New Jersey and now we're the Governors of each others' state.

[Psychic Octopus]

Yes! Maryland...

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

Okay. 95% of my problems are that I'm trying to build a game to run in the 1700s when the original game was designed for the 2000s. Therefore, and this might be controversial, I'm going to use modern things for just about everything, starting with resources.

[bullmoose88]

Thats fine, Why not hold off on the 13 states and do like European countries or such.
