We have 4 methods of travel in this game:

Buses
Subway
Monorail
Passenger rail.

The latter can also be used to shift freight to and from locations. But since I kicked out my dirty industry, this is not necessary and a big waste of time and money.

Bus stops already occupy most of the city, and like New York City, their buses are packed and overused, so a rail system, either one of the above would be a nice deterent against our transportation problems
 
Company Name: Logan Waterworks Inc. (Fëanor)
Industry Type: Utilities
Products: Water and Sewage
Key People: Jan-Peter Bruinwater
 
If you guys want to go ahead and run for a spot on the city council go right ahead.

I will post a second map on the map page to show the district zones. Choose a zone and your business can be in that zone. You can only run for the district your business is in.

The council section has been edited to show the new districts and their names.
 
Allright District map is up, you may all now choose which district you want to be in and start running for seats.

Fusion Inc is automatically in District 1 becuase their power plant is in the district.

Enjoy.

Also welcome Feanor, the water pumps are in two different districts, district 1 and 3. Choose one to be your headquarters please. But the Water treatment plant is in District 1. That would be your best bet.

Well i would rather have my corporate headquarters in a more classy place, like some office district.

But District 1 (water pump and water treatment plant) sounds good!
 
Well it is time for it to be replaced, it is 100 years old, do you want a different location?

Also stats are updated, please comment. :goodjob:
 
Is there room for another business or two? I was think an entreppreneurial retail business...
 
Sure, just use the basic template and I will fill in the rest, if we can get 10 players confirmed or signed up then I will go ahead and start the preupdate and get this NES underway.

We do have ten already, so go ahead and post your template, and I will start the update.
 
I do like how you are taking this. It's slightly different then I imagined but still really cool. Glad I managed to stick all this on someone else while people were still interested ;)

I'll be watching very closely and will always be open to questions you might have.
 
Pre Update: A New Day

For the last 400 years, Logan has struggled, coping with transportation, education and health problems. Even crime was rapant and police still fought bitterly for control over the streets. But Mayor Zabriskie has held a press conference in the newly built Convention Center and proclaimed a new era for Logan. In his words, "A new day for Logan and the beginning of a new era!" With this phrase he started the slideshow, the lights dimmed and the screen lighted up:

We are proud to welcome to Logan, Fusion Incorporated, who built the first Nuclear Power plant that put our obsolete Coal plants out of business and saved the city thousands of dollars in expenses. We are proud to see this company here, despite what those enviromentalists might think.

This was followed by NARC Incorporated who brought the city's first news program. For the first time in years, Logan could see events happening on tv instead of newspapers, this has helped the local businesses immensily by promoting the selling of better and clearer tv's. The city also uses this new station for their "commercials".

The city recieved a much needed financial break with the arrival of Mega Bank, a private business who handles customer cash. This left the city free of this stress and helped them to shift through their own financial planning. The arrival of Mega Bank helped the city out of their deficit and into a strong and healthy $5,000 a month paycheck.

Luckymoose Incorporated was right on Mega Bank heels as they flowed smoothly into town and started a industry that sorely needed help. The fledgling cable companies were struggling to meet the demands of 200,000 people and businesses, with the arrival of George Manfred Sr and his company, the city has finally entered the age of cable tv. The future looks bright.

Slower to establish was the King Krab Kompany which for some reason has been boycotted by African Americans, I am sure the news crew is all over this and will discover the reason behind this boycott. Anyways, despite the boycott and the fact that no rivers or lakes are in Logan the company has maintained a steady income and looks to become stronger over the years. Or distaster may hit.....

Epslife Temporary Residences arrived soon afterwards and bought out several abandoned apartments and turned them into cash cows, but a hefty fine from the city for breaking several building codes may be their downfall. Among the citations are; Fire alarms needs to be updated, sprinkler system must be installed, and elevators need to be installed in buildings exceeding 10 floors.

Perhaps Epslife should look into getting insurance from our next business, Insured!, to help cover the damages that could happen to the new elevators or fire alarms. Insured! says they will cover anything, fire, hurricanes, tornados, car accidents. Perhaps they should include one for false UFO sightings?

A man has moved to Logan, he has been seen entering Logan City Hall and the Mayor's home. His intentions are not clear, but rumor has it, he plans to build a Monorail in Logan. This rumor has the city in an excited mood, they eagerly anticipate the breaking of ground for the Logan Monorail system.

Finally, Jan-Peter Bruinwater has purchased the failing Water system and renamed it the Logan Waterworks Incoporated. But with the treatment plant over 100 years old and an old leaky section of pipe he has his work cut out before him. Can he turn the water into Logan's pride and joy?

With the influx of businesses moving into Logan, the population boomed to over 200,000 people, and the cash reserves grew from 450,000 to close to 900,000 dollars. The city's monthly paycheck avrages around 5,000 dollars a month, the cit is rapidly growing rich, but like all good things it will come to an end, but the question everyone is asking themselves is, when?

What do you guys think is a good starting stock number?

I have been looking at the stock market and it is getting me nowhere....

I am thinking 100 with a basic price of 1 EP each? Which will increase or decrease with business success or failures. What is your opinion?


Also, the next update will come when all the businesses gets their orders in. The deadline will be Monday.
 
We will be offering Cable and Telephone package deals within the year as we widen our network.

I will allow a contruction company, but no underground paths or secret malls.

You will not own the convention center, these are government owned buildings. Sorry. Special buildings are government buildings, but I will allow someone to own or purchase the stadium.

And please respect this NES if you act out of place here I will knock your business down with a bulldozer, and run you out of town.
 
Don't we have some income from providing credit cards, commercial securities and etc? ;)

IC:

Mega Bank is offering stocks for sale. (1 EP per stock? :confused:)
 
The stock is still under work, as I am trying to figure out the best way to use them.... I will ask Bombshoo what he had planned to do with this.

The more companies that use your bank(s) the more cash you will bring in.
Loans and credit cards are good. Depending on amount of credit card limit and loans the EP you generate will be, 1000 dollars for 1 EP, 2,000 dollars for 2 EP and so on.
 
Well. P/E means Price/Earning Ratio.
it usually means how much Is accepted to how much is expected.

For example. a P/E of about 10 will be good or an old Company. Nothing expected.

For a newer company, Like General Eletric in OTL. It has a P/E of 20... who know what amazing thing they will think up!

For the Newer one.... i say about 30 P/E... Much is expected as a dosen dollars mu=ight Quadruple the Profits per day!

And For the Crazy.... we have OTL Google! 50-60 P/E! :wow: Indeed, much is expected from him.

If I have 1 Mil shares and 5 milion Earnings. I will have at least 5 per share if the P/E is one. Howeverm they are atleast 10 for an ok company, so they are 50 dollars per share.

And If it just grown from 4 Million past year. A 20% growth! Then they expect the same for years to come. P/E raises to about 20 and the cost to about $100 per Share.

indeed, incluede the P/E In your calculations!
