I have a few more days of my leadership unless no one votes again, but then again the one up for voting isn't active anymore.
None the less. I am edging my mind back to becoming an Overlord for a while unless people start doing shit for the country over themselves. Its starting to get under my skin when I see people in Country chat asking for work when there should be plenty of it.

ALSO.
Researchers. You like being paid for working right, did you know that it costs me money not only to pay you but to fund you. Did you know that each morning I wake up to find my wallet compleatly empty. How about donating me some cash for your research. Or heck ANYONE donating me cash would be wonderful. I am almost always exploring for more Mines right now that I don't get ANY income...

ALSO ALSO.
Do we enjoy being defenseless???
How about sending me some Iron so that I can fund the construction of those Apartments in the Capital.

Speaking of, have you considered running a higher tiered apartment building right away instead of the one you got placed? I am not sure if it  would be worth it at this point, but just food for thought

Our expedition leader will tantrum soon.
Are you ALL sure you want to let it happen?

Fixed that...

Too many people are trying to be boss. All boss with no workers means nothing gets done.
There are roles to be filled and many of those roles are just simple workers. Not everyone can own a Factory and Mine and Farm at once, people trying to do that will find themselves swapping jobs too many times to do the work instead of focusing on one main job with the others as backup, hire folks with jobs and set them up instead of doing it yourself...

[Sappho]

Which jobs really need to get done now (I'm miner/hunter)? It's tough to tell what's important with so many random jobs in the job center and all that.

Also, I would hazard a guess that part of the problem with no money in the coffers stems from people trading over chat and sending items directly, thereby averting the tax from the marketplace. If people are just doing it for convenience, that would be fine if they also sent some money directly to our leader to make up for bypassing the market. I would have no idea how to enforce this though.

Anyway, I don't own anything and am not trying to be a boss, but I have very little spare time so I don't get much time to figure out what the priorities of the country are. So far I've mostly just been foraging, since I can set up a job and walk away for 9 hours while I go to work. Maybe Neyvn could keep a list posted somewhere of what's really critical? And IRC is not ideal for me, since I don't have the computer on for most of the day and as far as I can tell, you can only see messages posted *after* you log in and miss the old ones (though I don't know much about IRC).

[Gabeux]

Ohh, the reminder wasn't directed at you, Neyvn.
I'm moving on to Lybia, I'm only Rank 2 Scientist/Miner though.

[Sappho]

I appear to have found a mulberry sprout. Anyone want it? If I sell it on the market, what's a fair price?

[Shadowgandor]

I'm a level 4 engineer. I don't mind working for free, but I do want to work. Can someone offer me a stable job?

I would be happy to hire you in my Brick Factory right now, in fact, if anything I may even build a second Big sawmill (though I may stick with a small one for now) if your willing to do woodcutting too. Also if your Miner heck I can give you a ton of work...

[Flying Dice]

From the sound of things right now, we're really short on operators and resource suppliers, and have way too many people who want to own factories and have them idle because there isn't anyone to work in them. So if I got that right what we really need right now are: Engineers, Miners, woodcutters. We don't all need to be bourgeois uber-capitalists. 

[andrea]

no, no, no engineers. there are many people who try to operate. we just have no resources.
at least, I don't. other people maybe have more

[Neyvn]

Basicly its like this...

1: We don't need any more Shop Owners right now. We need workers.
2: Mining isn't getting done for Country benefit, more to fill peoples pockets and to build the 5th Foundry for their personal use.
3: Woodcutting isn't being done despite anyone can do it.
4: Farmers are lining their pockets too, too many go farming aswell...
5: Self Profit is plaguing our Country and we are less then a week old. Hitting the top quickly will make us targets, but gold lined pockets will not protect us or you...

I am tyring a new business model  to restart economy. Since people want their own buildings, I am giving them buildings. And they sell me stuff at cheapish prices. 
 
of course prices of advanced products like asphalt will increase, but at least we will have them. There will just be some inflation.

Nope sorry that won't work...
I have pretty much disallowed new buildings atm...

[andrea]

how would that matter? I am giving away my already existing raw materials producing buildings. And I placed an oil derrick this morning.

2 people already accepted the deal and received their mine.

so, I would say it is working.
