DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

Retainer: Gives your cases precedence over prospective cases and a 10% discount on regular billings. A retainer paid by an individual will also cover all of that person's private businesses.

Poll Consultation & Creation: Includes a full review of a proposed poll including suitability of content and adherence to polling standards plus creation of formatted poll. Services provided by YN&A Limited, the poll consultation branch of AP&N.

Rule Consultation: Includes client/attorney discussion on the applicability and affect of rules on a planned action.

Business Consultation: Includes assistance in starting a business from the planning stages through opening day.

Defense: Includes client/attorney consultation on defense tactics, full review of rules applicable and active defense in the trial stage of a public investigation. Multiple charges are subject to multiple fees.

Shepherding: Includes consultation at all stages of creation/alteration of applicable level rule and active campaigning of proposed creation/alteration. Poll reviews are not included.

CAVEATS
We reserve the right to refuse any case on an individual basis with or without explanation. If a case is refused, current term retainer may be refunded.

No guarantee is made that defense cases will be successful or that shepherded rules will be passed.

donsig doesn't really have to pay more for defense work. That was just lawyer humor.

Payment plans are available.

In the event that the principles in an action are both clients of AP&N, representation will still be available for both parties. In this case an independant lawyer will be retained to represent one or both sides of the litigation.

Case accepted. I'll begin work on it in the morning.
 
Well, the pensions seem to have been sacked in favor of everyone having 100 gold.

I'd like to spend my first five gold here for a rule consultation.

Can current office holders run in two elections in term one?

All right, now how are we keeping track of how much gold we have? We need an RPG for Dummies thread.
 
In an effort to increase distribution, AP&N is offering two specials for its irregular newsletter Behind the Bench.

Offer #1: The first edition of the newsletter is being offered free. Pick up a copy here. This issue does not have password protection.

Offer #2: Prepay a retainer for 3 terms and get Behind the Bench free for all 3 terms. That's a savings of over 100g!

Behind the Bench is an irregularly published newsletter with a minimum distribution of 2 newsletters per term. Regular cost for subscription is 35g per term. The newsletter is developed and distributed in MS Word format and uploaded to the civfanatics uploads section. Each issue is password protected. Subscribers will be PM'd a link to the newsletter file and the password as each issue is uploaded.

Subscribers agree not to distribute the newsletter or it contents, in whole or in part or to divulge the issue password.

donsig, you do not need to prepay for the 2nd and 3rd terms. Would you prefer 50g now or 150g to pay for all 3 terms?

My first advice for Die Fanatischen Zeiten is to refigure your profits. You are a services company so retain 80% of your earnings.

Would you like Apro, Poe & Nuffin to handle your business startup? As we are on your retainer you will receive a 10% discount putting the total bill at 90g.

I'd rather pay the 150 retainer now. That way if I end up losing all my gold in land speculation or a poker game. I'll still have a lawyer. ;) Besides, you saved me 20% which is about 300 gold already! If you do the business start-up for me what do I get for the 90 gold? I'm a bit fuzzy on that...

Very well, I'll happily take your money. ;) Prepaying also gets you 3 terms of Behind the Bench.

The business start up consultation includes absolutely everything from conception through opening the doors. We give help with business concept and price list normalization then handle "filling out the forms" and all of the submissions and wrangling with the Price Manager. We handle getting a bank loan for you, if needed. We set up your profit schedule. We post the business startup for the Revenue Association and also handle officially registering the business.

You've already handled much of this as your business concept and pricing is complete, you won't need a loan (first business), and we already corrected your profit schedule. Having us do your startup would still save you from the bureaucracy, which is the most difficult part of a startup.

OK, you've convinced me. Here's the 90 gold - start filling out those forms! :)
 
AP&N is happy to announce the formation of YN&A Limited, an office of AP&N devoted exclusively to polls. This has allowed us to increase our polling services to include actual crafting of polls in addition to the consultations previously offered. Even better, we are offering this expanded service at no increase in price.
  • Need help determining what should be in your poll?
  • Want to make sure that poll is perfectly formed and formatted?
  • Is you poll worded correctly, unambiguously and without prejudice?
Let YN&A help you with these and any other poll concerns.
 
YN&A Polling Services have opened a request thread. All poll related business is welcomed there. :)
 
Contract rate will be 30g net per turn chat. This contract shall provide for all listed services, less rule shepherding, at no additional cost. Rule shepherding will still be available with a 10% retained services discount.

Contract proceeds will be shared with partners, should any be acquired, on an equal basis.

This contract will expire at the end of Term 2, at which time it may be renegotiated or terminated by either party without cause. The contract may be terminated at any time upon agreement of both parties.

This contract is effective beginning with today's turn chat.

(Hey, my 300th post! About time.)

Articles should be as long as they need to be. ;)

In other words, no fixed length requirements. If an article is much too large (it is only a newsletter after all) it will be broken into sections. In that case the 50g would be paid for each newsletter it appears in. If it is very tiny it might serve as an anecdote piece and a price could be worked out for that (probably 25g).

Do you want a single term (35g) or would you like to take advantage of the retainer plus subscription package? That's 3 terms of retainer plus 3 terms of the newsletter for 150g. (Quite a bargain - it's over 100g less than the two purchased separately.)
