Proposal A:

Can't we submit to 3 different competitions? I thought we could do bikes as well.

Can't we submit to 3 different competitions? I thought we could do bikes as well.

I'm gonna bust out the "you can only bid for two contracts at a time" here. Sorry, gotta side with my own laziness. Maybe I'll offer some kind of expanded office upgrade later.

Unfortunately, we can only bid twice at this time. Since I thought Prykanbul was more likely to win the bike contract, I went for the rebels instead.

Also, I'm adding my vote to the votebox because I forgot to do so earlier.

After some brainstorming as to what to do next, I came up with this: the Tonnerre automatic carbine. Although we are not currently in a position to design it right this moment, I thought it could be a good goal to work towards in the near future. While I think it might hold some promise,  I'd like to hear the options of others on this team.

FR No.X.x Automatic Carbine 'Tonnerre'

The Tonnerre is an innovative weapon chambered in 9x30mm Riviere for those who wish to have an automatic weapon that is smaller, lighter, and more controllable than automatic rifles already on the market. The Tonnerre loads from the bottom out of 20-round box magazines or 60-round drum magazines and features a selector between safe, semi-automatic, and fully automatic fire. The ejection port is on the right side. The weapon is gas-operated, using a short-stroke piston system. The Tonnerre comes in two variations - Long and Short. The Long is in the 'carbine/short rifle' size and contains such features as a set of bayonet lugs and a shoulder sling, while the Short is a more compact package featuring a shorter barrel and a small cut-down stock to serve in roles wherein a submachine gun may be called for. The well-finished wooden furniture of the Tonnerre extends the full length of the weapon - with a small rectangular hole on the right side of the receiver to allow the cartridges to eject - and includes a pistol grip as well as a shoulder stock on the Long package. The weapon comes with iron sights as standard, although there is a surface on the Long version that allows an optical sight to be installed.

Bid Proposal 'F the King': Alongside the winning bidding plan, mail a letter to the king of Vostoy picturing a drawing of the king with poo-poo on his head with the words "F U" written under it in crayon as seen here:

it's a bit childish; simply discounting the weapons is enough, and won't make us seem juvenile.

[Powder Miner]

Here’s MY proposal for pissing off the Vostoyans, which is less juvenile and more amazingly petty:
Aggravating the Vostoyans:

Send almost every weapon we have created to the Vostoyan Royalty for their new contract. Send a weapon a day, marking each package so that it’s ostensibly sent by one of our competitors, and they have to open it up and look at our logo to actually realize that it’s not a legitimate package. Notably, we would send them every gun except the upgraded machine guns.

Depending on the actions of Prykanbul and Behrens, it may or may not be advisable to revise the Wiel.b into a Wiel.c to further increase its portability. If we are confident that none of them will move for the Crovem contract, then we could get away with not revising, but this is shaky at best. I'll be honest, I'm not very confident in not revising (which seems to be the winning proposal so far) but it seems to be at least marginally sound.

Suggestion for the King: Send him a passive-aggressive letter on expensive stationery detailing how much of a good King he is and what a shame it would be if some revolutionaries were to overthrow him and assassinate him in his privy. Mention in detail, using our finest legalese, how there was absolutely no clause of exclusivity in any of the contracts, and how the good King has no sovereignty over Valturia, which just so happens to be where the Fabrique offices and Camp Riviere is located. State that if not for our absolute loyalty to the Valturian monarchy, that we'd serve him loyally because he's such a great King, but we were told by our King to export weapons and buisness is buisness.

Pre-Post Edit: As a way of diversifying the company's investments, purchase shares in Valturian salt mines.

The weil is probably already as portable as we can reasonably make it. It wasnt designed to be portable, and short of changing how it operates there's not much else we can do which we havent already done.

eS, it’s a game, not an actual corporate board meeting, and it would probably do you good to keep that in mind rather than complain both in-Discord and in-thread about losing a vote on something ultimately pretty insignificant

That said, I do agree that double machine gun line seems like the best option. I take back everything bad I said about taking the machine gun route, this is awesome.
