Action 1 Title: People's Habitat 2/3 Method: Start construction on a large mixed-use housing structure on the reclaimed land. Goal: To create a large mixed-use structure that isn't just useful, but a "flagship" building in the city to stand as a symbol of our modern engineering and design ideas. Primary Determinant: Resources very good +2 Difficulty: Normal (just building a slightly larger than normal apartment building) Modifiers: + Entire year's worth of prep work, planning, and gathering of resources +2 -1 -1 +1 (-1 0 0 0) + (0 -1 0 +1) + () the Project is going as planned. Action 2 Title: "More materials!" 4/5 Method: Attention will be given to improving and expanding existing industries rather than creating new. Goal: Over the next 5 years double our current cement and steel production as well as noticable increases in other industrial sectors. Primary determinant: Resources Very good (+2) Difficulty: Hard Actors: Industrial Sector +2 -1 (-1 -1 0 -1) = -2 Complete Failure With the Precotions from the Plauge in Damaris last year. The material gathering is suffering. Action 3 Title: "Operation Golden Rule of Love" Method: Spend time with the ruler of Guima and his family in a bid for his daugher's hand in marriage. Goal: Have the Baron marry the daughter of Guima's ruler. Primary determinant: Relations with Guima, very good +2 Difficulty: Hard Actors: The Baron +2 -1 (+1 +1 0 +1) = + 4 Complete Success Can you sing "Here comes the Bride." The Baron's Daughter has fallen head over heals for the attractive and availbe Baron of Avatar. Wedding to be heald next year. Action 4 1/2 Title: "Improved Milling" Method: Currently there is a bottle-neck in Avatar's food supply chain at the milling step. Currently most all mills in the area, and perhaps the world, use a manual travesing system where in the event that the wind changes direction the mill workers must traverse the blade assembly to face the new direction. We believe greater efficiency could be had if we can implement a system of gears and pullies attached to a smaller set of blades perpendicular to the main assembly that would automaticly rotate the main blade assembly to face the wind. We have a basic design in theory, but we need to construct a few test mills using the new design and let them operate for a year to finalise the design. Currently we have 4 different potential designs for the new automatic rotation mill but they all follow the same basic concept. This year long test will hopefully let us chose the best design to implement on all future mills. We would also like to solicit Guima's help on this project because their superior woodworking skills would be very helpfull in the carving of the large wooden gears and other wooden parts. Goal: In the first year finalize the design of a new mill, and in the next year refit current mills. Primary Determinant: Craft:Superb Difficulty: Hard Actors: Engineers and builders Modifiers + if we can get guima's help. +3 -1 +1 (+1 0 -1 -1 ) + () The experements seem to be working. ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send mail to celandra-off@phoenyx.net.
