Over a month has passed and the stock prices are exactly the same? Decline of Hellraisers photoshopping.

Those aren't stock prices but T-N Mineral prices (in Yehudimzahav per 1 kg) also the market is turn-based so they won't change until 2013

*And I'm too lazy to change the damn up/down indicators all the time.

Welcome, Comrades, to this evening's TASS Global Report. In her first post election public statement, Comrade Grigorovich took a moment out of her busy schedule at the ongoing 34th Party Congress to emphatically reaffirm her predecessor, Comrade Vavilov's, condemnation of the unsanctioned territorial violation of the sovereign People's Republic of China.

"I grieve for the peoples of China, as do we all, and remain outraged at the blatant disregard of the Empire of Nippon for the rulings of the Security Council. We have accepted hundreds of millions of Chinese refugees with open arms, fleeing the appalling human rights violations perpetrated by a barbaric regime unable to adapt to the modern era. If the Empire of Nippon wishes to repeat its humiliating defeat by a world united in disgust for its flagrant disregard for human life and dignity, we will be forced to ensure it relearns the lessons of Khalkhin Gol and the Manchurian Strategic Offensive.

Tragically, in their hubris and clinging to petty ideological differences, the People's Republic of China initially declined our offers of military aid in their time of need. However, I have concluded talks with the current leadership of the Communist Party of China, and they have wisely signed a mutual security treaty which will ensure close economic and military ties between our peoples. Should the Empire of Nippon further violate their sovereign territory, or that of the Soviet Union, the Red Army's retribution will be swift and decisive. We will fight to ensure the safety of our new comrades in arms in the struggle for class equality, freedom, and justice.

I will personally ensure that at the next Security Council meeting the Soviet Union will again call for trade sanctions against the Empire of Nippon, banning all shipments of Trans-Newtonian materials, arms, and technologies. The Soviet Union will also call for a United Nations Peacekeeping Mission to halt the persecution of the people of China for the duration of this unlawful occupation, and the Red Army is full of volunteers willing to serve the common good by filling its ranks. We hope other civilized nations of the world will be equally ready to volunteer manpower and materiel to safeguard the human rights of the people of China.

I am pleased to report that work has already begun on temporary housing for the millions of Chinese citizens displaced by this tragedy, and that already they have enthusiastically and selflessly taken opportunities presented to work for the state to the betterment of all Soviet peoples despite their recent traumatic experiences, including construction of the infrastructure which will soon house and support them. Let this be a heartening example to us all of how hard work and patriotic dedication to the Party and the tenets of Marxism-Leninism can overcome even the most tragic of hardships."

Yes, indeed, Comrade Grigorovich.

Don't worry, I'll post the first League Tract soon.

The Prince's Speech

(published by BBC)

Gone are the days of greatness, gone are the days of wealth. The winter of mankind approaches, and our nation is at the forefront.

The future is dark. They often compare stars to cold eyes staring at humanity with indifference. Look at what surrounds the stars - the owner of these eyes is pitch-black. The space trek shall be our Congo River; we shall fly to unprecedented madness and decline.

The meek shall inherit the Earth and rot here until they are processed by foreigners. The strong may flee this planet, but they will only repeat history. Look at the strong - jewing capitalists, cruel bigots, lying politicians, nepotists. The good are always smashed, like Poland or Novgorod.

Our genes will be unsuccessfully twisted to fit their needs. We will suffer the usual horrors of war and oppression. We shall end up as shadows of a once aspiring kin. Dark and primitive, we will gaze from the stars at other races doomed to repeat our fate.

There was much talk of fighting off a new Dark Age in the 20th century. Communists, Fascists, Communists again, Islam. Yet our Rome fell subtly: Brixton, Birmingham, London, England, Poland. We are the new South Africa. Our land is lost, our nation is lost. We can only take solace in that the world will be lost as well.

Our leaders may be English and Polish, but seventy percent of our population are Asians and Africans living in slums. Primeval denizens of a smelly concrete jungle. Electing Anglo-Indians like the new Prime Minister will not help. This apartheid shall fall, and our country shall succumb to the barbarism of Third World states, like France did.

My family's function was moral and cultural guidance. These are the spheres where PBC has failed the most. I do not doubt we shall fail you again; do not put your trust in us. This sense of guilt and failure has been with me since I was young. I always felt like I was the 'baddie', 'Prince Harry the Nazi', like I was part of a machine slowly tearing our county apart. This feeling is becoming unbearable.

They say the English never give up, that they endure hardships calmly. That they trudge on in depression. Perhaps so, but let me remind you that our suicide rates dropped as our country collapsed into resigned indifference. In the Edwardian Era, when the English were still English, suicide rates in England and Wales were thrice as high as they were in the beginning of the 21st century. I, a broken soldier, stand by this manly tradition.

I cannot bear to witness the future I know will dawn. I feel incapable of averting it. I offer my death as a final apology to the English nation for my - for our - failure. I am arrogant enough to think it will be the symbol of the era to come. Let my death begin the final chapter in our history.

This thread has potential. I hope to see you gentlemen leave the Solar System this time around.

I had some technical issues with the Diplomacy screen but that has been fixed now. I haven't received confirmation for all diplo-treaties proposed but that won't stop the game from starting. Year 1 is a go!

2012 for Omniventures Inc. – a year in review by Omniventures NEWS

But first a message from our sponsor:

*seductive female voice* Sodom - Name your desire and we’ll make it happen. *cue seductive female laugh*

Channah Kravitz: As here in Prosperia and indeed in the entire world everyone is waiting the start of the New Year, we have decided to do a summary of this year’s events right before it ends. Joining us will be Mr. Morden who will discuss the past, present and future of Omniventures.

Mr. Morden: Good afternoon, I wish every viewer even if they are not yet a Shareholder and Citizen a wonderful New Year. Maybe a bit prematurely but you know how it is, Money never sleeps and I’ll probably not have the time to give my wishes at midnight.

Channah Kravitz: Yes, there have been lots of important things happening and obviously other things that will happen. So what was the biggest challenge of fiscal year 2012?

Mr. Morden: The biggest challenge was of course related to the word that we have been hearing a lot lately, that is “Trans-Newtonian”. Developing and implementing the technology necessary to adapt our industrial base to these fascinating exotic substances is as rewarding as it is difficult. Although this is hardly news, other countries are probably implementing a similar industrial transition as we speak. Going Trans-Newtonian is the future after all.

Channah Kravitz: indeed it is, we heard and saw that a lot of the factories and mines have been adapted to meet demand for Trans-Newtonian goods and resources. But that is not all the construction industry has been busy this year is it? Supposedly there have been some secret projects, large scale construction work listed as “black project” or “classified asset” in the Omniventures Income Statement and Balance Sheet? Underground work supposedly, lots of large-scale digging and it’s not a mine…

Mr. Morden: Unfortunately that is classified, if I told you I would have to kill you. After that I would have to kill our viewers. Needless to say that would be very bad for the OV Media Branch’s cashflow and stock price.

Channah Kravitz: [laughs] Yes, it would definitely be bad. So, what about research? I hear Opis Luria has been working on something with the best scientists of the R&D department of Omniventures. Is it some space-related technology?

Mr. Morden: It will be a revolutionary design, that is all I can tell you. The applications of that technology will be far reaching. It will improve the lives of millions of Citizens and Shareholders.

Channah Kravitz: Let’s talk about the world for a moment. How do you perceive the global events that have shaped this fiscal year and the markets? Liberation of China by the Celestial Empire, new trade agreements, things like that.

Mr. Morden: Well first of all I have to say I am deeply concerned with Prince Harry’s suicide attempt. We hope he recovers soon and starts enjoying life once again. Perhaps he should visit Prosperia, the nightlife is guaranteed to reinvigorate anyone. Oh the things I have seen in Macharaah.

Channah Kravitz: Yes, I think we all can agree that the charm of Macharaah and the “Sodom” establishment in particular cannot be dismissed. I try to visit it as often as I can.

Mr. Morden: Either way trade agreements with many countries were made like Amerikwa, the Celestial Empire, the Commonwealth and the Boerestaat. I think we’re all enjoying the splendid device known as the RK Cyber-Jack, that is just one of the many new products now available on our market thanks to these agreements. I hear that its producer is building a new center of regional operations for the Omniventurian region right next to the ITZFOODZ tower in the Hod Zallanut district.

Channah Kravitz: There appears to be a major humanitarian crisis in the “League”. Refugees have been storming the borders of Omniventures for months, they’re even doing so even as we speak.

Mr. Morden: That is hardly news, this “League” has always been a humanitarian crisis in itself. A state ran by zealots, one that is more of a perverse recreation of medieval barbarism than a modern society really. The very concept is quite distasteful. It is no wonder people are fleeing that state, even if they are risking their lives as these “templars” do not tolerate “heresy” such as trying to escape their tyranny.

Channah Kravitz: Deep Space Ventures, when will they happen?

Mr. Morden: As soon as the necessary working prototypes are developed. Trans-Newtonian materials are indeed a blessing and Sorium, well it’s got quite the kick as far as fuel is concerned. Certainly more than rocket-grade Kerosene or LH-LOX rockets. But utilizing this technology for the construction of interplanetary vessels takes time. However you can expect news about our first Deep Space Venture soon.

Channah Kravitz: Well then, thank you for your time Mr. Morden.

Mr. Morden: Likewise, it has been a pleasure as always Mrs. Kravitz.

Okay, so we lost internet at house and Sky can't promise to have it working before 28th. Which is both good and bad. Good that since I can't play TERA, I'll have time to run the first year through. Bad, that I can't post updates directly. I'll probably just automatically run the rest of the year through and then copy&paste the log file into Notepad and take that to uni. There won't be Year 2 screenshot updates unless something drastic happens to your nation.

 

[Hellraiser]

The 28th?!



What kind of shitty ISP is that?

Eons ago when part of my ISP's network got fried by a very powerful lightning storm (some people had their whole PCs fried, one guy I knew got mildly shocked through his keyboard while he was chatting at 5 in the morning ) they managed to make it working within a week. Although the speed sucked for another month or so.

 

[GarfunkeL]

All British ISPs are shitty outside of London, welcome to the UK. Anyway, if I get it done over the weekend, I might trudge to campus and post from there.

[GarfunkeL]

Year 1 concluded successfully, nothing special happened. If I need further instructions from you for Year 2-3, check your PMs during the next 24 hours.

 

[Cassidy]

 

[GarfunkeL]

Okay, PMs sent out to those players whose input is required for Years 2 and 3. After I get replies, I'll process those two years.

 

[Hellraiser]

Wait, I'm getting no input for infantry production and shipyard orders? Or did you just continue what I did in year 1 to speed things up which is why I got no PM?

 

[GarfunkeL]

Sent you an PM.
