torpid said:Bee, are you running multiple LPs at the same time?
Yup. And you've missed my short 2400 A.D. LP, which was quite a bit of fun.

LAPIS
This planet is extremely inhospitable, as it is closest to the sun and the climate is very hot and dry. The settlers are few and far between, and live in villages of container-like structures which can easily be rebuilt in a different place. This is necessary, as volcano eruptions are frequent and put the settlers in danger. There are violent sandstorms and "rockstorms", which have left the containers looking dusty, dirty and dented.
The settlers' main source of income is mining, as Lapis is rich in ores and minerals. These are extracted in extensive mining operations scattered across the entire surface of the planet.
As this rocky planet is a relatively long way from the system's centre, it is hardly surprising that a good many criminals and other shady characters have found refuge here. This makes it comparatively dangerous for adventurers to move about on their own outside the protection of the city.
According to rumour, more and more adventurers and treasure hunters have made for the planet recently: it is said that out on one of the boundless, unprotected plains where the rockstorms rage, a prospector came upon a huge vein of platinum. He radioed the find through to his base station, but before he could give its position he fell victim to the storm! Ever since, one courageous "scanner" after another has set out into the endless wilderness in search of the mine, but very few return.

Err.Crooked Bee said:Oxygencarbonat
Fowyr said:I wonder what was that before translation.
korenzel said:Castra seems to have a shortage of Titanium, which is cheaper than Iron and Bauxite on Lapis.
Lapis lacks any high tech commodity, such as Computer Parts and Video Games, a situation that must be remedied at once.
korenzel said:Can you check the prices goods will be bought for along with sale prices ?

It seems to me that it was a bad case ofCrooked Bee said:As for why I died in the first place, well, it took me some time at first to even figure out I was being attacked by Greg Morgan from behind.

MMXI said:Did you try leaving the door open in the hospital? How did Dr. Steinhag react? Any consequences?
korenzel said:*snip*
korenzel said:This is all assuming prices don't change according to your actions.
Crooked Bee said:That's weird, actually. I did the first time, and was attacked (by some kind of thugs); I presumed that happened because I left the door open. But now that I've retried doing that, nobody attacks us. So I dunno, that may have been a bug or something. And here I thought this game reacted to stuff like that.
You know what those tradefags are like.Crooked Bee said:Thanks! And I thought I was overdoing it.korenzel said:*snip*
JIM NIPPLE greets you:
Welcome to my little hideaway! I'm glad you found your way here so quickly. I chose this hiding place for a very good reason. My work here is rather dangerous. You see this box of tricks? It's a bugging system which lets me listen to nearly every call made anywhere on Lapis. It's a real marvel of science!
As it's a very mobile unit, I can dismantle is quickly and take it with me to a new hide-out. This flexibility protects me against unexpected visits by secret agents. You're not safe for very long if you stay in the same place.
Thank you for bringing me the implant so quickly. It is for an important man who has been very active in support of our organisation. Unfortunately the Secret Service has been on our trail for quite some time, and they are trying to prevent us from getting this man fitted with it.
As you've probably noticed, the situation in this star system is relatively relaxed on the surface. We live in a democracy, but in reality it's more like a dictatorship. After all, where else would you find a complete absence of political parties? Opinions which differ from those of our government are simply not allowed. They are not suppressed by using the army, but - however paradoxical it sounds - by a massive bureaucracy. This mountain of officials blocks any and every plan by senseless activity. The worst of it is that even they themselves don't know who they are working for - or against. And we can only get through to the odd one or two of them.
Our organisation is keen to have more people, so that we can overthrow this system. You have given us excellent support, and we would like to show our gratitude. We would be delighted if you would continue to work with us.

NEDAX
Nedax is the only planet in the entire system with a surface almost completely covered in water. Life is impossible on the few small islands as these are repeatedly submerged and swept clean by the strong tides.
The only way of colonising this planet was to build cities on the sea floor. For technical reasons, this was not possible on a large scale. As a result, great numbers of people live together in a small space. Despite this, the crime rate is low.
Trade is also carried on in raw materials extracted from the sea floor.
Any reason you don't give me any offensive ability ? Not that I mind being the healer, but I remember you mentioning some risk in using too high level a power, but don't remember what those are exactly.Crooked Bee said:Korenzel gains a level, too. His options: Create fireball (49) // Brainblast (63) // Heal wounds // Identify opponent // Paralyse opponent (17) // Intimidate opponent // Disarm opponent (36). Hmm, Heal wounds it is, then.
Here you go :korenzel, where art thou?
