Topic: Economic War: Which Cartel will you plunder for? (Read 7806 times)

Herr Burt · « **on:** April 26, 2006, 10:19:29 am »

Unlike the empires, the cartels don't have historic bands of the faithful here on the D2. Mostly, this poll is intended as a tool for you. I hope it will help you see where the numbers are going, where the people are going, where the numbers are needed, and whom you might like to fly for. This poll allows you to change your vote should you decide you need to move.

You can go here for the background description of each Cartel: http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php/topic,163366564.msg1122704005.html#msg1122704005

Yes, we need all eight cartels. The number Eight is a very nice number that can be cut to 4 during the second stage of the campaign, and then again cut to two in the third stage. No other number works as nicely.

There is no need for all eight to have equal numbers, since by the endgame we should have two very equitable sides squaring off against each other for the final victory. Remember, however, the more the numbers spread out among the eight, the more fun eveyrone will have. Don't worry aobut not being in the same cartel as all your favorite wingmen right at the start of the game. Odds are many of you will be in the same cartel by the time the party is over.

Leaders we have so far:

The Orion Cartel: Master of Orion, Lord of the Flies, FSD Skaren

Crimson Shadow (House Korgath):

Prime Industries: Praetor-in-Exile Tobin Dax and his four-headed Daemon Julin

The Camboro Cartel: One-eyed Risky the dancing Llama from scene 17

The Tiger Heart Cartel: The Dread Pirate Hexx

The Beast Raiders: Sixteen men on a Deadman's chest

The Syndicate: The nameless Villain

The Wyldefire Compact: D'Emon Rum on the Flying Dutchman

On the bridge of Skaren's Flagship a report comes in from Security...

Lieutenant Wetpants,.. "Captain, we have discovered a spying device. On deck, C a Horned Denebulan Devil Fly was found to carrying a nano technology eavesdropping device."

Captain Skaren,.. "Arrgg, can't trust a soul, best relay that the spy on the Clan leaders Flagship go dormant for a time, he may be onto us! Keep alert crew, for anymore of those Demonic Fly Devices. Also yellow alert we are nearing the Wyldefire rally point, better yet RED alert, we can always say we detected a strange anomaly nearby!"

Bump!

Looks like three cartels are off the ground, but we still need more in the others. We especially need Orion and Syndicate members.

Orion is in the center, wealthier section of the galaxy. The Syndicate is in the more sparsely populated north east section of the map, but has lots of room to spread out in. (Yeah, I need to get a map graphic up. I built one yesterday, then it mysteriously vanished!) Both groups have the distinct characteristic of thinking they are better than everyone else.

Surely there are some of you out there who think you are better than everyone else?

We seem to have lost our one Korgath player, and still have no leadership for the Orion Cartel, House Korgath, or the Syndicate.

Come on guys, let's rattle some cages. We really need at least two or three in each cartel.

And remember, even if you pirate group does not do well in the first week, it will be folded into another group at the end of the week and that will help balance teams out. Then we get balanced again at the end of the second week. I love it.

Arrrrghh Matey -

This is a hard one for me and I've not actually cast a vote. I like the idea of Prime, though I could also do Yakuza

Offhand I don't know enough about their heavy weapons loadouts which is a factor for me. I'd fly Korgath, but I'm so very very very often a KLinK it might be nice....

Biggest factor though is the timing is bad for me. The Mrs. and I have some vacation time and are going on several small trips up until Memorial Day. After that I'll be "regular" again

While I'm hoping to release a version of my "fun" server not long after that, I definitely want to get in on this one. I guess I'll see what's still open in between my trips and try and fly a few in advance of MD...

Or you could join Hexx's team. God knows he needs looking after.

By the way, the Orion Cartel (the one HQ'd in Fed space, and with the richest starting position) is one of those still available.
