CityIOT Redux

[Kinich-Ahau]

We thank The Councilor, who we recognize as the new defacto head of state in your area, for recognizing the need for reporters of truth. For respecting our neutrality we will be sending a press secretary to you who will have all the equipment needed so that you can give your own press releases. We have also provided her with a list of points and questions to ask for said interview.

How do you view the actions of your old fellow councilmen who have fled south?

We are currently in negotiations with the rebels; right now, I feel confident that the missing councilmen will rejoin Metro, and a new government will form.

How do you plan to combat the chaos and the coming famine?

The Metro Soviet has agreed to provide food to the citizens of Metro; I was planning on helping them expand their current farms, while also funding the creation of new ones. The river needs to be cleared to allow essential imports to resume, and I would like to fund the creation of public utilities to help the people; when you have no food, power, or running water, it may seem as though you have nothing left to lose; I hope that by alleviating these problems, I'll be able to convince many ruffians & rebels to return to their former lives, not to mention we'll need to create another police force. If private industry does not pick up, then we'll have to fund the creation of government industry.

Do you think you can work with the Grey Zone as it continues expanding to the east?

I hope I can work with everyone; I do not desire conflict, and it pains me deeply to see the current state of the city.

What do you have to say for your followers and the rioters themselves seeing as they are mostly acting on their own initiative?

It is unfortunate that so many had to die, and vigilantism is never the answer, but they came to the city's aid in her hour of need.

Interview with the Sjyvy Jymra​

AW: Hello people of Metro City. My name is Ash Williams and I'm here with a important member of the Syvvy Jymra. Thank you for having me to-

SJ: Let us keep this short. Ask your questions.

AW: Oh, er I thought you were happy to have reporters in the zone?

SJ: While we respect your willingness to suffer and bleed to give truth to the people I am a busy man.

AW: Okay, well, first question, does the group have a defined leader?

SJ: Sjyvy Jymra is not a unified group, but rather, a collection of similar movements.

AW: How did you come to the city?

SJ: We followed the stream upriver to escape the chaos of the Church of the Divine Tribunal. They spread madness everywhere in the countryside now.

AW: Sheesh, sounds like the countryside is just as bad as the city... Do you have plans to solidify with the current crisis?

SJ: Sjyvy Jymra's role is to provide stability in the Gray Zone. We accomplish this by eliminating all threats to those within the zone.

AW: Huh, apt, well the Green Knights were certainly a threat. Any plans at all for the future?

SJ: Again, we exist as a defensive force. We are incapable of providing other services, and the government only seeks to deny us them.

AW: That's actually a relief considering my house is now in the Grey Zone. Can you comment on the rumors of a alliance with the security group?

SJ: Alliance? Not necessarily. But we recognize that we have similar goals, and that we are willing to cooperate for our people.

AW: Well I certainly like those guys anyway, so you two should be okay policing this place. Anything to announce publicly while the camera is on?

SJ: We are here because you are not. Now this interview is over. Turn off the camera.

CUTS TO BLACK

OOC: The SJ also now have a reporter in their territory and they have the ability to issue announcements

 

[Ailedhoo]

OOC: things are getting interesting. Next week (after my exams) I might consider re-joining the game...

By the way: how are the remaining members of the GKS? I guess there are still some members around, few in number? Not that I have plans to re-join as a resurgent GKS.... yet.

Just know that if you rejoin, I have a feeling many may metagame you out of existence after you destroyed the city.

OOC: it takes two to tango and I ensure you I was not the only destroyer... plus I mainly focused on persons than structures.

Perhaps I could re-join as a building company setting to heal the city... or the gathering of the GKS. Who knows!

 

[CivOasis]

If you plan on re-joining the game, since you were eliminated, I would prefer to personally pre-approve your idea (balance, and all).

And, to more directly answer your question, the Green Knights are effectively shattered, since they lost their leadership and weapons, amongst other issues.

OOC: then building company is confirmed.

I will do a sign up on Sunday perhaps.

 

[CivOasis]

Depending on how many orders I receive, the update will either be today or tomorrow. Regardless, economy update confirmed.

 

[CivOasis]

I've had Internet access for less than 10 minutes in the 19 hours I've been awake, without exaggeration. Update tomorrow.

 

[CivOasis]

Alright, so, I don't know if I'll be able to update tonight or not, so I'll just go ahead and explain - I am preparing for a major presentation of a multi-month project of mine, which is Monday evening. On top of that, I'll be spending most of the day Monday out of town. Next weekend, I'm on a three-day vacation, and that Thursday and Friday will be exams.

In short, I'll still work on this, but it'll be pretty patchy for the next week or two.

 

[CivOasis]

Now, I apologize for the break, but:

Update most likely tomorrow (I have a half-day, and this weekend is a 3-day graduation trip). After that, though, don't expect another update before next Friday - next week is exams.

 

[CivOasis]

Right. Some stuff came up today, and I won't have computer access all weekend, and exams are next week. Friday evening, I can do an update - I'll be done exams, and, AFAIK, I've got nothing going on that weekend - but you'll just have to wait until then.

Think of it as a vacation, I guess.

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

Hopefully by then I'll have a friggin' clue what I can still do in this game.

 

[CivOasis]

Right, this reminds me - Thorvald, Bonefang, and Bowsling, I do need orders from you guys a bit more often.

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

I'unno, doin' squat's worked pretty well thus far, all things considered.

 

[CivOasis]

Well, true, but you could, IDK, expand business or something.

Not to mention most of the city's food is still drugged, so...

 

[CivOasis]

How much interest is in this still? Do you want me to update, or would you prefer to move onto a new game?

 

[Ravus_Sol]

I would like update. But lets see who else is still interested. Would you be happy to do a wrap up post if things go south?

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure what's left to do in this game. Metro's in flames and Kinich won the Diplomatic Victory.

I can re-join as a building company and help rebuild the city!
