That too. I picked UConn for both championships.

Yeah right.

Sorry to everyone for neglecting the OP- my life is split between school, work, and sleep right now, with very small intervals between. I'll try to fix it when I can; at the latest it will be tomorrow night. It's tricky to edit long posts on the mobile theme.
 
I DID..... Once they were in the finals.:sly:

Updating the OP would be nice, but as long as the profits are being kept up with I'm certain WE can be patient...

(turning to the others) RiiiiiIIIIIIGHT?!?!?!?

This is quickly headed towards the exact same demise as the Create a nation threads for the exact same reasons. Suggestion. If you don't have time to invest in this "game" (and based on your last post I personally don't think you do) quit now before anyone invest more time into it. It only gets worse from here.
 
To clean up this thread (making it easier to manage), how about we open a separate discussion & questions thread and keep this thread only for business messages?

Edit: And to keep things neat and tidy, each company could be limited to one business message per quarter, and if you want to add more stuff after that you just edit the business message of that quarter instead of making a new post.
 
Why not appoint someone else as a second moderator? Possibly in another time zone so you can have this thread regularly covered.
 
All of that was done in the CaN threads. None of them worked.

Just sayin'.

You seemed to be dogged on ensuring this game's failure, and I don't know why. Just because I made a roleplaying game a year and a half ago that failed doesn't mean this one will fail as well. The last game didn't work because I couldn't control my players, and stop them from nuking each other.

If I quit this game, it's because a couple of moderators want to shut it down, and I don't want to spend time on something that will get taken away from me at any second.

The ball's in your court. Either lock this thread now, or prove me wrong.
 
I'm certainly having fun with it. The wordy bits in between are all comical (to me anyway, I have fun thinking of James' to use. The very idea that a company would be given a standard name is funny to me...) but I'm definitely going about the business and budgeting with a view to lasting the length of the thread.

I think everything is safer without the apparent fear of nuclear devices.
 
TB is merely a neutral third party observer whose observations are perfectly valid.
 
I might be able to help out some, for the next 3 days at least. This game is really fun to me so I wouldn't mind putting in a hour or so to "fix" the OP or keep track of stuff.
 
@ildd is now a co-moderator of the game. All rules regarding moderators apply to both of us now.

True, but he has the power to end the game at any point. That's what I'm afraid of.

Goodwood Festival of Speed 2015
james_logo.jpg
Following on from the companies launch within quarter 1 of 2015, James have solidified a strong start to their automotive service by stabilising all production and sales teams. It has been a long and thorough process due to our unique hiring method, but it is critical that everyone be called James to broaden our name recognition. In that we only recognise one. James believe that we are the automotive leaders of tomorrow and have started spreading that message with a hugely successful showing at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

James announced the launch specification James Corden Dapper to rival the Nissan Joke Juke and were pleased to see high reaction figures during our showcase.
What was their name again, Jane? I thought they were lost hippies...
Feedback from the Dapper specification exceeded expectations, but we never anticipated reaction for the new James Corden Sport with literally people coming to view it.

The James Corden Sport was unveiled as James' newest project which will occupy the new facilities created in Milton Keynes. The Sport benefits from a hand tuned engine, sports suspension and a new lightweight chassis. The new body may look familiar, but the aggressive look and trim tweaks only hint at the changes.
We took all previous designs and removed whatever weight we could using all sorts of new exotic materials. We investigated Dihydrogen Monoxide to sloppy results, and instead settled on well tested materials such as Carbon Fibre.

The James Corden Sport will be produced in smaller quantities and will hope to compete with the Nissan Jake Juke R within the specialised customer market. James May had this to say on the new project:
You didn't take it to the Nurburgring did you? Oh cock...
Full details of the James Corden Sport are provided below.

James Corden Sport '15
corden.jpg

Trim Levels : Sport
Body Style : SUV
Engine : Hand tuned 2.0L I4 Petrol "J02"
Drivetrain : Front Engine Rear Wheel Drive "JFR"
Transmission : Manual (reused)
Cost of Development : 750cr


Q2 Budget 6200cr
-100cr (Handbuild Factory)
-50cr (Goodwood Festival of Speed Showcase - "James Corden Sport")
-750cr (James Corden Sport Development)
Remaining Budget
5300cr

James may only be 6 months old, but our aims, ambitions and goals are all fully aligned at a very positive future. There are many more exciting plans that will further secure our foothold in the automotive market.

James would finally like to submit its apologies to all those affected by the smoke cloud left following our hillclimb runs across the Goodwood Festival of Speed weekend. It was not our intention to obscure the next cars from the view of the spectators view.
 
You're such a pessimist @TB. :P
I sorry. :guilty:

:P
You seemed to be dogged on ensuring this game's failure, and I don't know why.
I have no feelings one way or the other regarding this thread and have only stated the similarities to the aforementioned thread.
Just because I made a roleplaying game a year and a half ago
And now I know why I keep referencing that thread...

Up to this point, I didn't even know you were the one that started the Create a Nation threads.
The last game didn't work because I couldn't control my players, and stop them from nuking each other.
And yet over the course of numerous threads, they all ended the same way, despite knowing the likely outcome. If you have checks and balances in place to provide a logical, updated in a timely manner game, by all means continue. If you're flying by the seat of your pants and reacting to things as they come up, don't be surprised if (See @Shaun. Not completely negative. I didn't say when!) this gets locked.
If I quit this game, it's because a couple of moderators want to shut it down
Again, incorrect. We couldn't care one way or the other if this thread stays open or not. We don't go on witch hunts, despite what people may think. We do, however, call it as we see it, especially when history repeats itself.
I don't want to spend time on something that will get taken away from me at any second.
No one has any intentions of "taking it away form you" provided it doesn't follow the same path as your other threads.
The ball's in your court. Either lock this thread now, or prove me wrong.
Incorrect. The ball is still in yours. It's up to you to produce a game in which you have enough time to invest in it, and you have already alluded that you don't. If you want this to remain open, prove me wrong. And again, if I wanted it locked, it would be locked.
@ildd is now a co-moderator of the game. All rules regarding moderators apply to both of us now.
That's a good start, although personally I don't find this terribly reassuring:
I might be able to help out some, for the next 3 days at least.
Might, some and a limited time span does not a good "mod" make. You need someone that can actually afford to invest the necessary time involved to make everything run smoothly.
True, but he has the power to end the game at any point. That's what I'm afraid of.
Not my job. If all we wanted to do was shut down threads, that wouldn't leave room for much in the way of discussion, ie - the death of the forum. If you want the thread to remain open, make the game logical, coherent and be able to actually invest the kind of time you NEED TO to run it. Failure on your part to do so is what will see this locked, not the staff's vindictiveness.

Of which there is none. :P
 
@TB I worded that weird, I meant my next 3 days are relatively busy but I can still help out. After those 3 days I should be more free.
 
Red Pill has just released their first rendering of the entry-level Targa. It will be available in 3 trims, the base, the S, and the RS. It will begin production as soon as both plants expand into small plants. Specifications will be revealed next quarter.

Looks like a cross between an Infiniti and a Solstice.
 
I have an idea. Maybe make a Google Spreadheet on Google Drive so we can all work on the stuff together.

Agreed, also we should have a part in whether our companies succeed of fail (with limitations of course, so this doesn't get too out of hand).

To be honest if this is going to take this much work I might just bail out while I still can.
