So one of the reason's I returned here was to give this grand old place a pick-me-up.

So to this end, I present my plan.

I believe in the power of Manhattan Projects, So I would reccommend Messiah get one, and possibly Wachter, if his economy can support one. I think roughly 35K NS is needed to support them.

Begin Tech Trading in massive quantities, our ties with Nueva Vida should help, so too should Blunity. IAA will be able to help to that end too when the PIAT goes through.

The IAA PIAT is a nice segway to the another aspect of my plan, as we are building up our nations, we need to also build up the profile of the SSX. Alliances without the potential and power of SSX have been very successful because of a well managed PR front and allying with the right folks.

Here in the near future we need to start recruiting. In my opinion, we need to target fairly high NS unaligneds, preferrably those with Alliance experience. It's notoriously tricky, and has a very low success rate, but an infusion of new blood is, I believe, what we need.

This is what I've got, for now. I'm interested in the opinions of you guys, because only with a collective effort do we have a chance to end this stagnation and do something great.

This sounds like a great plan, although I personally would put priority on tech trading and recruiting over the Manhattan Projects. Getting MPs can be tricky because it requires a Uranium trade to purchase the wonder.

Fake edit: I just looked and realized Messiah already has Uranium in his trade circle, as do Ed, Zeph, Wulfie, and myself. It shouldn't be too hard convincing one of our trade partners (perhaps with a little monetary incentive), to do a quick temp trade with Wachter when the time is right.

But I truly believe the most important part of the plan is increasing our PR. I have been absolutely terrible at this since the alliance started. In the beginning I went off the radar for a while in an effort to separate SSX from any associations with Browncoats or its old friends and enemies, but I never really came back up on said radar after that.

Ah, I did not intend to convey a sense of priorities, in my mind most of these are equal in merit.


We need to brainstorm some ideas for an OWF announcement I think, possibly sooner rather than later. I think.

I'm a seller.
Once my selling cycle with Valhallans completes, I'll let you know.

Buying too, and it's too dang frigging long since I was involved in buying.

I'm willing to organize tech deals for all SSX members if those services are so required.

I had a very stable trade circle for almost a year. Rock replaced the one member we lost when he joined the game. I was reluctant to break the circle, even though I have been considering going nuclear for several months. With Rock gone, I picked up uranium. Now that Isileth is gone, my circle is a mess, and I imagine it will take some time to reform. I plan on purchasing the Manhattan Wonder on or about 11/10, nukes to follow.

I am not a good recruiter, but you can count on me for cash transfers to new and growing nations. I am happy to dedicate at leat 3 slots to it i needed.

If you are looking for a tech seller and you are a buyer, I have one slot open now, and more opening up soon.

I do a pretty standard deal for inter-alliance deals.
3 Mil for 50 Tech and then 3 Mil for 100 Tech.

Hit me with an in-game PM or just send 3 mil and we'll get things a-rollin.

If you need more sellers let me know and I'll organize some stuff.



If you are looking for tech buyers and you are a seller that can't find enough buyers here, let me know and I'll do my best to organize some deals.

I sent you 3 mill, you cancelled it :)

Granted I was just trying to help, but I am also looking to buy tech.

Sorry.

I'm still doing tech deals with Valhalla, and they get cranky if I miss my delivery date.
One I'm done with the Vikings, I'll be a lot more flexible to do deals here.
