Wow, I got about 5 tiles total from these auctions. :)

If they're still for sale, I'll purchase the two 1,000g Hafenland tiles.

@Grandmaster - Sold. You are now the proud owner of HL-H-2 and HL-I-2.

:D

I need four castles with filled moats, stables and 3 upgrade rooms, each with the following configuration:

Living rooms: den and living room
Other rooms library and office (since hall is included for dining)
upgrade rooms; servant rooms, steam room and full bath.

I need them built on the following tiles:

TS-L-13, TS-O-12, RL-L-8 and SW - E -17.

Best I can figure the price is 5145g each before my partnership discount.

I'm looking into a couple smaller defensive structures as well as a mansion and a palace but I have to rebuild my bank account first!

@donsig - Construction has begun. Your cost estimate is correct; each castle as configured lists at 5145g. With your partner discount they will cost 4630.5g. Your actual out of pocket expense, figuring in your returns from BLM partnership and Acroama partner shares will be a total of 15263.6g for the 4 castles.

The following tiles are now available for 1000g each:
GM-D-4
GM-E-12
GM-F-3
GM-H-9
GM-I-7
GM-I-8
GM-I-9

I'll purchase the remaining tiles.

Oh darn, I was just aabout to purchase GM-D-4. I will eventually acquire it.

I will soon be leaving my position as CEO of Acroama Homes. If anybody is interested in becoming the new CEO please post here. It is not as difficult as you think it is and the pay is excellent.

I would like to express my interest in becoming CEO, although my lack of share ownership may make me inelligible.

Well, you say it wouldn't be too difficult, so maybe I can find time for it. :)

My hat is in the ring.

:D

I would like to be CEO too. :)

I'll throw my hat in aso (what hat?). I've got a cell phone, time calaculator etc. at my expense (And one of those fancy TI-83 plus's!)

I'm greatly relieved by the amount of interest in the position. Donovan, partnership isn't required. All interested parties should figure the purchases below and send me a PM of what the full detail post would be. They should include the cost itemization portion, distribution to suppliers, distribution to Acroama & partners and the summary of account activity like the ones I customarily post here in the Acroama thread.

If you have any questions on how to figure what, please PM me. No points are lost for asking questions. ;)

All of the submissions with correct results will be passed to the board and they will vote to determine the new CEO.

Item 1: Upgrade my castle in Valhalla to a Large Palace with an extra pool and kennels (kennels are the same price as stables).

Item 2: Figure 17 new home constructions for new players.

Item 3: Strider buys a mansion in Bavaria.

Item 4: Padma buys 4 tiles at 800g each.

Item 5: Somenewguy buys a large house in Bavaria.

Good luck! :D

I'll throw my hat in also...

@Donovan, gunning1, Strider & Octavian - Send me a PM according to the test detailed in post #534 if you wish to be a candidate for CEO.

Only Padma has submitted one so far.

Can you send me the pay-out deal please?

Not sure what you mean here, gunning.

The CEO salary is equivalent to 1 partner share. If that's not what you were asking, please describe what you're looking for.

Ok, like how much to distributers, shareholders, and the other stuff. :) Sorry for not making it clear. :)

please note the following:
tsort castle populace centre was taken over by evil forces...
it is now again in ownership of me.
it is now the base of the vampires of fanatika

how much will it cost me to rebuild the defensive structures and a nice dark dungeon beneath it? i would also like a nice crypta in this dungeon.

I wonder... Does Acroama or BoV offer any reasonable mortgage plans? ;)

I'm quite sorry but there's simply no way we can put a work crew anywhere near Tsort castle.

Acroama doesn't, but you can get a loan at BOV for 2.5% interest rate (1.5% for Plus Account holders).

Acroama pays their distributors 20% of the cost to create structures. For a 3300g castle they would pay 660g. If there was a trade in that was worth 1000g, the cost to create the castle would only be 2300g so they would pay the distributors 460g. The distributors keep 80% of what Acroama pays them (because they lose 20% to COGS/taxes). This 80% is then split up between the 3 owners of BLM, the distributor.

Acroama's net profits (all money received, minus all money paid out) are then broken down like this:

Acroama account: 10%
Partners & CEO: 90%

The CEO receives one partner share and there are 23 normal partner shares.

@Shaitan: a working crew improoving TSort would be under PERSONAL protection of the UFO. we could even send some of our own servants to help building and as such shorten the building time...
and trust me, you wont find a better protection for your crew than when we protect them >-)

@disorganizer - Unfortunately persons in your particular...situation...have a historical tendency to go a'slaughterin' when the living have served whatever purpose you need them for. Added to that, we cannot trust the word of the undead in any case as you cannot swear on your life. Thirdly, there is simply no coercion besides slavery that would get workmen within long sight of Tsort castle.

what if we do the improovement ourselves and only order the material and plans at acroma?
the things could be delivered to the foot of the tsort mountain and then taken by us... most of our servants do 24h working shifts >-)

We would still have the moral problem of assisting the legions of evil. Just as we would not aid and abet trader/warrior if he wished to create a stronghold to attack Fanatika, we cannot help you to create a safe haven to terrorize and murder.

Just as a side item inthis discussion, I would like to note that since Tsort has been taken over by the UFO, Lancre (esp. me as Prince) should not have to pay any upkeep for it. At least until we take it back. ;)

@shaitan: so shall it me. we now have enslaved some of the dwarfs living beneath the mountain and are building the improovements ourselves. we will repair the walls and the drawbridge as well as put water into the moat again.

@Padma - Upkeep was being paid by the Lancre Fund.

@shaitan: so it will now be payed by me...

... if i do the upgrades myself to full-defended castle from populace centre... how much do i have to pay into the void?

i wont have to pay for labour, as we use servants and low live-forms... which will work for not being transferred >-)

Dwarves? Sigh...

Can you give me at lease another day or 2 on the CEO thing? My internet usually doesn't work until late at night, and they are supposed to try to fix it tomorrow...It's been like this for the past 3 days...:( I haven't been able to really do anything...:( I hope to get back into it tomorrow. :)

@disorganizer - Sorry, it's justa bit too wacked for me to deal with in my very limited time. The next CEO may be able to help you with your special needs.

@gunning1 - The best I can do is put you on the ballot with a note that you did not successfully complete the requirements. You had plenty of opportunity to take the information down and figure it out offline.

As the new Director of the Lancre Fund, I would like to build two new Centres: one in Bavaria, and one in Tarkingrad. This is because the original centre, in tsort, has been taken over by the UFO, and is no longer suitable for our needs.

@padma: i also recomend building another one in morgana though, so the rule to have a centre in each provincial capitol will be consistent again

You're right, dis, it should have been Morgana. I was looking at centrality within an area, rather than in the capitol.

That said, build a third in Morgana, please :)

You know what Shai, just go ahead and take me off the ballot. I think that Padma would make a much better CEO. :)

This is a Board vote to determine if Padma will be the next CEO of Acroama Homes. He has successfully passed the interview stage (and even found an error in our process instructions while doing so). This Vote is open to all partners of Acroama and is weighted by shares. It will remain open for 48 hours or until a majority of possible votes is received for or against hiring him.

I vote YES

I vote YES.

We Vote Ies

That should be 13/23...

This post and an update to the housing record mark my final action as CEO of Acroama Homes. I now retire and make room for Padma to take over as he has achieved a majority of all possible votes in support for taking the job.

Wow. I didn't even have to vote.

You mean I was the only one to spend 20 minutes to do the CEO test!?

Thank you Shaitan, and all the other partners. I will do my best to keep Acroama Homes running smoothly.

Yes you were Padma. Maybe next time, I might, I just don't think I have the time right now...Congrats! :D

Im latem but I vote YES

Saam: I can't get to your link...

Actually, do I need to have a castle to become a Prince if I have a Palace?

If not then cancel the order. If I need one, please place one on Gunningheim.

I'll probably be ordering a mansion on my recently acquired lakeside mountain soon, but I'll have to bring in the wages first, and perhaps take out another loan to do so. Not being a member of the corporations or land-deals, and simply surviving on my government wages, I was wondering if you would be able to offer some sort of installment plan?

@Gunning: A Palace is "better than" as Castle. So, no, you don't need the Castle.

@Veera: I'm sorry, but this has always been a "Cash-and-Carry" type of organization. Have you considered going to the Bank of Valhalla for a loan? I hear they have reasonable rates.

Ok then, to be your first customer, I'll buy a tower.

I believe that is 300 gold-10% for member=270g.

I would like it to be placed on Gunningheim.

@Padma - I have uploaded a file for you here (http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads3/AcroamaStuff.zip). It contains the housing record file and another file that auto figures the Acroama distribution. Also, you may want to start a new Acroama thread so you can edit the first posts. If you do, just post a link here and I'll close this thread.
