Kusari-Liberty Hfuel embargo Event. Planning stage.

[sindroms]

My talk with one of the [A]dmins.

Code:

[7:59:33] Sindroms (Spazzy): if you guys pull the exact thing you did with the silver mining in Penny
[7:59:33] Sindroms (Spazzy): Give a sellpoint good enough to buy new ships for
[7:59:36] Sindroms (Spazzy): (sun)
[8:00:03] [A]dmin: Tell you what,
[8:00:23] [A]dmin: I'll tell you the same thing I told the guys in Leaders chat
[8:00:42] [A]dmin: You draw up the event, and I'll see about making it happen.  If it makes sense.
[8:00:58] [A]dmin: so far, no one in Leaders has come forward
[8:01:00] Sindroms (Spazzy): I can draw it up.
[8:01:02] Sindroms (Spazzy): Story and everything
[8:01:10] [A]dmin: (y)
[8:01:21] Sindroms (Spazzy): Question is, will you implement it if it is done by me and not by one of the leaders.
[8:01:35] [A]dmin: pfft
[8:01:39] Sindroms (Spazzy): Given if it is a sound plan, of course
[8:01:44] Sindroms (Spazzy): Not something retared.
[8:01:45] [A]dmin: I don't judge a player like that
[8:02:14] [A]dmin: I told you in your sanction that you were a vet and could do good things if you wanted to.  I meant it
[8:02:36] Sindroms (Spazzy): (y) Let me throw up a sketch or two then.
[8:02:44] [A]dmin: alrighty
[8:03:06] Sindroms (Spazzy): Hmmmm
[8:03:16] Sindroms (Spazzy): Are there any unlawful sellpoints for Hfuel in Kusari?
[8:03:48] Sindroms (Spazzy): Which could be accessable for both OC and COR side smugglers
[8:03:59] Sindroms (Spazzy): And there has got to be a way to involve Xenos in this as well
[8:04:03] Sindroms (Spazzy): Because you know
[8:04:09] Sindroms (Spazzy): M'ur..er...'Ibateh
[8:04:10] [A]dmin: I can't think offhand.  I'm tired and need sleep
[8:04:16] Sindroms (Spazzy): Yeyeye, go sleep.
[8:04:17] [A]dmin: We can discuss tomorrow if you want
[8:04:20] Sindroms (Spazzy): Sure

In other words, anyone willing to help, please poke me on skype. We can make a skypechat and do the faction leaders work for them. Time for the non-official faction folk to make an event with proper fun.

Possible official factions who might be interested to contribute to this:

KNF
LN
LSF
JM
XA



In other words, if we ponder something up, the admin team are forthcoming enough to help us with the server-side of things. Be it changing sellprices and buyprices or allowing some temporary rule changes for IDs, such as KNF/Kenpaper...(whatever their specops is) perhaps being able to hunt down Hfuel haulers and LN/LSF being able to protect them outside their ZOI.

As long as it makes sense.
If anyone wants to help me write up the whole event process and the possible adjustments to the economy while it is active, please drop your skype here or in PM and I will add you to the chat.

Original post.

In Liberty, that is.
This is the best time to do it!

5 000 per unit, plos?


:3



EDIT: Heck, make an event out of it. Allow KNF and LN engage targets breaking the embargo/hindering the fuel trader respectively.

Admin approved event plos? Perhaps even a storyline event.

It is about time such little stitches influence how the mod progresses and gives some activity. And Kusari needs it.

I think you're jumping the gun here. Why don't you let it play out a bit more before suggesting that that prices change so radically.

[sindroms]

Because best things are done instantly and recklessly.

"Hold my beer"



I would think that Liberty has reserves of fuel

[Tabris]

They may have reserves Haven, but they're also fighting an active war against Gallia and a on-off war with Rheinland. Eventually those Fuel-Reserves will be drained from various deployments and operations, even patrols will drain their reserves. Not to mention their Corporate traffic that uses H-Fuel.

[sindroms]

Exactly. I sense Hfuel smugglings.

Blockade running? Me gusta.

I'm in favour. Greatly so.

It's not Liberty peeps who started the fuel-reserve-out-of-my-pants trend, after all:

The reporter stood again.
"Two year's worth of H-fuel, sir? Given current KNF expenditures, the sheer volume of such an enourmous amount exceeds belivability, and with a new offensive being launched, expenditures will only continue to rise! Will there be any extensive civilian restrictions on use of H-fuel, rationing, that sort of thing? And will all exports of H-fuel and Plutonium be restricted?"

Let me be clear, there is no "new offensive." The KNF is being sent into the Sigmas to protect civilian shipping and Planet Kurile. This is not an offensive operation, we are not looking to attack bases or holdings in the Sigmas, we are defending our citizens, which is the highest responsibility of any government. As I said, we have 2 years worth of Hfuel reserve, for the KNF, KSP as well as to ship to Rhienland as per our current deals. At the moment there is no need for any rationing, and we hope that the GMG will come to its senses well before that ever becomes a problem.
As for export restrictions, the Council of the Risings Suns is discussing that along with other issues at the moment.

[Reid]

Time to revive a GC faction to smuggle fuel to Liberty like last time this happened

---

[ProwlerPC]

Poke the GMG, they shouldn't sit idly by and lose the best customers H-fuel has. I used to be active in supporting smuggling during these situations. This kind of operation will still allow enough fuel to trickle in to keep shipping betwee planets and stations going, particularly in moving food, water and oxygen where needed. But ultimately the fuel will run out if the war machine keeps sucking it up.
