Christmas
At Christmas, in the Bunkers Gymnasium, a spectacular event will introduce each School & the best of each school. The event will include Pledges to Bili Morgan & New Frostburk, skill shows by individuals & groups. Stories of adventures of the outside by the Ravens(scavengers).
The last 2 hour of the 24 hour holiday will be a time for Bili to wander the bunker from top to bottom to award gifts. First stop the best school based on individual skills, he will entrust the school to 1 Power Suit. He will also gift individuals of the bunker for such as repairing a machine, high test scores or just being a random stop. Mostly a gift of 1/2 food ration, but other things can be given.

Low-Tech Weapons Schools.
Here is how it works. Schools of low-tech weapons training will be created. Everyone aged 7 & up will start with basic training in a variety of weapons consisting of the following Stick (wooden weapons only), Staff & Spear, Knives & Needles (Icepick styles up to throwing needles & stars), Axes, Swords, Maces & Chains. Everyone will also train in improvised weapons (anything at hand from rocks to pencils, keys & so on.)
After 2 months students that pass a standardized test will advance into a specialized training classes based on their best weapon skill. Though now specializing in one
weapon they are expected to continue to train in all schools of weaponry. Any of the 3 Categories (Skills, Numbers or Ravens) of Bunker inhabitants can be in any school.

Schools & Master names
1. Sticks
2. Knives
3. Axes
4. Swords: Master Thornsohn
5. Chains: Master Lucy Fitzpatrick

Each will specialize in training of one weapon. Emphasize of how high-tech would enhanced each students deadliness. The best in each weapon will be portrayed as a hero a star. Become the face of the bunker. Have them make rounds introducing their selves to the bunkers citizens. The top 5 in each school will be named Master & become
the the top trainer for the school.
Propaganda will stress that High-Tech weaponry is the future of New Frostburk, but that the knowledge of low-tech is the way to that future. That a person is a one man killing machine.
Alcohol rations. Everyone from age 16 up gets a ration.

Added names of 2 Weapons School Masters Swords: Master Thornsohn & Chains: Master Lucy Fitzpatrick
New Training for all personal over age of 12.
The making & use of alcohol based grenades, molitoff cocktails & such.

I usually chat with him over AIM.

as for orders, here's an old set of mine:

Domestic Orders:

25 tech parts into project purity, + whatever else the other participants have provided.
1 Energy to the Brunswick Nation.
1 Mr. Handy, with a number of workers, begin digging a moat around Narwhal City.
1 Mr. Handy, working with a number of workers, to construct a covered passageways between all the buildings within Narwhal City, and the main gate, preferably out of stone and cement blocks scavenged from the city. Additionally, they should create covering above the passageways on the walls, leaving only narrow slits from which to shoot (a-la medieval castle... for IC reasons, suppose my people got the idea from the cloisters.)Narwhal City should eventually be entirely covered. (while the workers are out working, shut down the radio transmissions. When not working, continue transmitting propaganda, schooling, and music.)
All outposts, even the newly established ones, continue with the current policy of encouraging immigration, justice, and schooling, turning over criminals to Vault 2.
At ALL outposts, continue improving self sustainability (Food, water, ammo foundries, etc)
Donate to Vault 2 2 2-h weapons, and 5 high tech weapons, as well as 200 Ammo
Look into various chemicals with which to repel Cazadors (Natural pesticides, toxins, flamethrowers, whatever works to get rid of the wasps.)
Mr.Gutsy to guard operations around Narwhal City.
In all outposts, construct/convert a room or building, depending on the size of the outpost and available room into a composite library and museum, dedicated to Knowledge of all kinds, full of books and artifacts from before the war.
Using scavenged books, mandate strategic and military training (attempting to get my ranking from Militia to Paramilitary.)

Scavenger orders:

Narwhal City, First half of the year:
Send out parties to scavenge for food and water, as well as weapons and ammo.
Target, especially, police stations. (while in the police stations, also search for pre-war riot armor and, if possible any power armor that may have been issued to quell disturbances) this armor is to be issued to the best, brightest, and most hardy of my soldiers, who will form a part of the new Legion Rangers. Only the Best get the armor.
Target for scavenging, also, Hospitals, libraries, and museums, continuing to move old books and artifacts to the library. (will write a story for it)

Fort Narwhal:
Send 140 People out, well armed (half of the laser weapons, 2 plasma weapons, and a number of other weapons) to Princeton university, to create an outpost there. Once there, they are to move into on the university buildings (which are mostly stone, easily defensible) and turn it into a fortified complex. Scavenge throughout the university for useful things, IE, tech and the like.
Continue sending small scavenging parties out and about, and defending against raider attacks. Continue fortifying the fort.
The 6 most competent survivalists, (IE the best at living in the wilderness) are each to take a plasma weapon (leaving 2 at Fort Narwhal) and run individually to each of my settlements, hopefully 2 ending up in Perth Amboy and 4 in Narwhal City.

Perth Amboy:
Continue Scavenging throughout the industrial, commercial, and trade districts of perth amboy, looking for useable tech (Maybe some robots or the like) as well as food and water.

Princeton Fort
Fortify the stone dining hall as the main section of the Newly Created Princeton Fort. Begin converting adjacent buildings into hydroponics labs and water purification plants, and building walls between and around the buildings. (I visited Princeton a couple years ago, and was astounded by how easily fortifiable it was: thick stone walls, very high windows, impossible to reach from the ground outside, etc.)
Additionally, begin scavenging operations of the university and the surrounding farm area and university town, but only once the main buildings of the fort are fortified/complete.

Narwhal City, Second half of the year
120 people, well armed with lasers and conventional weaponry (though not all of the ones I have in Narwhal City), as well as, hopefully, 1 plasma weapon, meet up with Vault 2 Expedition forces and begin the trek to the West Point Military academy. Halfway there, 50 of my men, accompanied by how ever many people vault 2 decides to allocate to this, will construct a fort (Roman style) in Nyack, to be a resupply station between Narwhal City and West Point. The rest will continue to travel to west point. Once there, my people will build a quick fort (along the lines of a roman fort, as we did at Perth Amboy and Nyack, using wood and scavenged material from the countryside.) outside of the Academy proper. Once that is built, we will begin scavenging the academy, and nearby Fort Montgomery, my people looking predominantly for Power armor. The Split of the weapons (aside for power armor) drawn from West Point will be 60%-40% in favor of the Vault people.

Nyack outpost.
The Nyack outpost should be built on oak hill. From there, once it is established, we should have a good view of the surrounding countryside. From there, scouting parties should be sent to scavenge in the Nyack hospital, adjacent to the fort, and to the palisades shopping mall, slightly to the south. Again, scouting parties are to be sent only once the fort is built and completely fortified. Scouting parties are to comprise of both Vaulters and Narwhal Karls and huskarls.

Militarily, I want to keep an eye on the people of vault 2. should they, at any point, attempt to betray me, turning on me, I want them killed. I should have more and better weapons than him the whole time.

Propaganda orders:

Radio Broadcasts should include:
Music
Narwhal Propaganda (as per usual)
Lessons of the Wasteland (How to survive)
Survivalists Testimonials about life among the Narwhals.
Schooling and Education

• Overseers Challenge: Assign a team to look into the thefts to discover the culprits. Once they are found and tried, we will exile them to the wastes. (This should leave a better perception of the government whilst having the same effect as an execution)

 

[Vertinari118]

Don't worry Abaddon, mine were a single paragraph. I think as you expand and explore more orders become longer and more detailed.

 

[Blaze Injun]

Hey,

All very nice orders. I feel a little undetailed.

The Overseer's Challenges have been interesting.


Blaze Injun

 

[EQandcivfanatic]

Yes, the orders shown are definitely my favorite to work with. Easy to read (mostly) and set out in a nice, organized fashion. Abaddon, please read the stats post, there's a few things I need from you before I can activate the Seven-Sixers for you.

I'm updating with what orders I have now, but for those who are running late, fear not, I'll put off actually posting until tomorrow. For now, no order changes will be accepted, but new orders will.

 

[Blaze Injun]

Hey,

New Frostburk orders sent but I forgot the map. Its not a update but a map to
show you were I mean for the orders. This is twice I forgot the map.

Thanks for the kind words about our orders.

This stuff?

Leader: Scavenger
Faction Trait: Expansionist

@Everyone, if you don't mind, i'll post my first orders in-thread and you can dissect those?

Currently I am thinking of sending several groups of 100 to take control of the bridges over the river.. that is if the bridges have survived.. if not, they will simply scavange and come back. Is 100 enough to establish themselves in a city? How will they get food water.. should i ferry it to them from my base, or get them to gather it from their own surroundings?

Food, water in general.. im in a city, not a vault so i think i have to find everything right? supermaket raiding etc sensible or stupid?

I've got more ideas, ill keep posting them discussing them if people don't mind...

A few tips.
Use Google maps to find built up areas to scavange and clear areas to farm.
You need scrap parts first, so no new base for the first turn. It takes 100 scrap parts.
In general, you will be able to scavange almost anywhere where it is built up. Water bottles, cans of tuna, stuff like that. Scrap parts and tech parts are bonus. If you want, you can specify one thing to scavange and to note locations of other scavanging cities.
What I usually do is to first send a scouting party to locate stuff, then lead a larger scavanging part to get them.

 

[Tecknojock]

Ya, for an urban area you can't expect to grow food/ collect water, you'll have to scavenge for it. As for them getting food, its assumed that you have some couriers who deliver the shipments if its a close distance. If its a longer distance, you may want to see about setting up some patrols to keep the supply routes safe.

100 men would be enough but expect to lose about a quarter of them. Make sure that you list the armaments your giving them as well. These will be left at the newly founded city to defend it.

You need to give a leader name as well and you can give him a background if you wish.

 

[Tecknojock]

No EQ changed his mind about the scrap being needed for a settlement.

EDIT Oops double post sorry.
