Royal Weapons Corporation
1 Billion M Bounty
The Royal Weapons Corporation, its subsidiaries of Royal Carriage Corporation and Royal Window Works Corporation, would like to extend a warm welcome to all players. After a successful entrance into the new era of production, we have been fortunate as a family of companies to fufill a few of CK's needs--we would like to share our success with others, and extend the production and resource base of the Game, by offering a Billion M bounty for a new Corporation and/or Expedition.
RULES:
Corporation: Winner will be determined on the basis of the ability to create a realistic and/or novel means of production, ability to manage resources effectively, and market their product or product line. The winner will be given 1 Billion M and a corporate account, RWC will distribute the shares of the new company per agreement between RWC and CEO (mainly to determine how many shares the CEO wishes to purchase pre-IPO--standard policy is 10/40/50 split with 10% going to CEO, 40% to the IPO and 50% going to the parent company RWC--due to the large nature of the bounty, the CEO may wish to increase their initial share beyond the typical agreement).
Expedition: Winner will be based on storytelling and planning. The winner will be given ship(s)and supplies based on their expressed needs, along with any extra funding left over from their Billion M budget--these expenses will be pre-figured based on the plan that the Explorer(s) presents to RWC. RWC will receive rights to any ITEMS from this exploration with both parties having the ability to renegotiate their positions if further exploration is desired beyond the scope of the first expedition.
Good luck to all,
RWC CEO, HM_Crichton
I have planned a journey to the Åland Islands. I would like to explore my birthplace and at the same time try to end the terror that lurks in the archipelago. Åland Islands are a place of peace and harmony, but there are some families in the outer islands that act as pirates. The Åland Islands are in the Baltic Sea, in the middle of Östersjön, between Sweden and Tavastia. This vast archipelago of 6700 islands is heavily trafficked, lots of ships sails to and from Russia loaded with treasures. Storms especially in the fall are very wild and dangerous to any ship, small skerries and desolate rocks are sticking up everywhere. These waters are filled with sunken ships. There are lots of rumors and stories about several families acting as pirates during these fall and winter storms. Raiding shipwrecks, killing survivors and even luring ships to dangerous waters.
My plan is to take 4 ships, 3 small and one larger, and enough firepower to handle any small time pirates. We will head for the main island, and from that base we will then explore the smaller islands and confront the pirates. We are looking forward to retrieving several treasures from these crooks.
Map of Åland from before 1667 with shipping lanes, harbors, churches and various boundaries marked:

Would be good to have a couple of privates and a corpral/sergeant with me also, none of those are available on the market atm. I will anyway rely on my good friends Drummerboy (428) and Meat (343), they have been in the army all their life so we should manage any pirates anyway.
