Big Bad City (Jun 1, 2011 7:04:56 PM)
(Alright, first things first, what kind of madness are you planning on kicking around in the city?)

Akako Masako (Jun 1, 2011 7:05:45 PM)
(you didn't seem my quickly written up business model? *gasps!* Well lets see if I can summorize it)

Big Bad City (Jun 1, 2011 7:06:05 PM)
(lol, I probably did see and then misplaced it.)

Akako Masako (Jun 1, 2011 7:06:57 PM)
(My goal in the long run is to, make money $_$ though also to establish a united GW front within the city via the production and further research into renewable energy, namely solar power)

Akako Masako (Jun 1, 2011 7:07:35 PM)
(There are measurable improvement in education and earning potential, productivity and health from access to renewable electricity. It is estimated that for every $1 invested, there is $1.5 in social and environmental benefits.)

Big Bad City (Jun 1, 2011 7:08:09 PM)
(mmhmm

Big Bad City (Jun 1, 2011 7:08:47 PM)
(Well, that's all well and good, but you're dealing with the corporates of New Orleans, and they won't take kindly to that)

Akako Masako (Jun 1, 2011 7:09:11 PM)
(Almost a third of the world does not have access to electricity. And those that do have access spend a large portion of their income on expensive, dirty, and unreliable forms of energy. Meeting the flowing demand for electricity in markets across the world, from developed to developing countries, represents an estimated multi-billion dollar potential market. Something ANYONE would want to get their hands into)

Big Bad City (Jun 1, 2011 7:10:40 PM)
(That's a tough sell in the real world, cause you're looking at costs and maitenance of the solar panels, etc etc etc. But in the WoD, you have other things to contend with. So firstly, you have to find a foothold in the city. So, how would you like to go about doing that?)

Akako Masako (Jun 1, 2011 7:17:04 PM)
(well I already decided that if I'm going to build a foothold within the city.. its going to be "in" the city. Which means I'll likely have to scrounge up suitable location... likely an old commercial property no longer in use, and something that no one else really would be interested in)

Big Bad City (Jun 1, 2011 7:18:09 PM)
(Excellent, do you have contacts? Or Allies specific to New Orleans that could help you with this?)

Akako Masako (Jun 1, 2011 7:19:50 PM)
(only contacts I have are the spirits in the city, coupled with the Wyrmfoe and his pack, though they dont often come to the city but once a month. Though I did try to contact the Corporate Wolves Camp)

Big Bad City (Jun 1, 2011 7:29:11 PM)
(That I do remember. Unfortunately, there isn't much in the way of Corporate business in New Orleans, so their presence here is sparce. One of the largest employers is Ochsner Health System, which you might find a Corporate Wolf employed at. I'll also let you make a Int + Comp roll at diff 6 to browse for commercial property listings and then you can do some research into them, see where you might want to set up shop)

Akako Masako (Jun 1, 2011 7:30:39 PM)
(06/01/11 23:30:09 Akako Masako rolls 7 dice vs. diff of 6 to Int+Comp (browsing the interwebs!): 8, 10, 9, 6, 10, 3, 5 : 5 successes >.> *is good at Interwebs stuff*)

Big Bad City (Jun 1, 2011 7:37:45 PM)
(Excellent, you are able to find 5 suitably priced and sized places for your endeavors. Though, looking at your resources, this is not going to be something you're going to be able to fund solo. If you would like you may also check out the places before purchasing.)

Akako Masako (Jun 1, 2011 7:42:58 PM)
(anything that's in south new orleans i will NOT check out... or even be interested in... there's to much crime there... so any of the 5 that way can be counted out. Anything new the city park, and the 610 will be highly worth my time to atleast check it out physically... then I suppose I can inquire with the spirits about the area as well >.> )

Akako Masako (Jun 1, 2011 7:43:17 PM)
(near the city park**)

Big Bad City (Jun 1, 2011 7:47:36 PM)
(one sec. lol)

Big Bad City (Jun 1, 2011 7:54:45 PM)
(Alright, well, there looks to be a lot of empty lot space around the park area and a single building located across the river that might make a suitable place. , for location reference.

Big Bad City (Jun 1, 2011 7:55:04 PM)
(Stupid enter button, Imperial Dr. is the location reference)

Big Bad City (Jun 1, 2011 7:55:47 PM)
(Looks to have a lot of open space around it where one might set up Solar-Panels if they owned the surrounding land as well)

Akako Masako (Jun 1, 2011 7:56:55 PM)
(i do like being near the river >.> means in my free time I can make sure no one is polluting!)

Big Bad City (Jun 1, 2011 7:57:59 PM)
(Alright, now, I was looking at your resources and you alone do not have the money required to pull this off)

Akako Masako (Jun 1, 2011 8:04:05 PM)
(then I guess there's no real reason to persue this much further *shrugs* guess I've just wasted your time this evening. )

Big Bad City (Jun 1, 2011 8:04:15 PM)
(That's not true

Big Bad City (Jun 1, 2011 8:04:38 PM)
(You can do fundraising for the project. Contact other Garou/Kinfolk players and see if they'll donate.)

Big Bad City (Jun 1, 2011 8:05:26 PM)
(You can also make the int+law roll now to apply for the permits neccessary for the land. This is going to allow me to spawn a whole new SL around just getting this thing started, because it is going to meet with some opposition)

Big Bad City (Jun 1, 2011 8:06:05 PM)
(This is not an easy 1 Garou task)

Big Bad City (Jun 1, 2011 8:06:29 PM)
(And if you want to use this as admission to the Coporate Wolves, you're going to have to be able to show that you can move and shake at that level)

Akako Masako (Jun 1, 2011 8:06:54 PM)
(if you think this isn't easy, try doing it for 7 months, having great plans, then watching 2 STs disappear and take all your hard work with them, and send you back to square 1)

Big Bad City (Jun 1, 2011 8:08:31 PM)
(I can understand your pain, I really can. I've had the same thing happen to me in the past. I want to see this succeed. I also want to put you up against some opposition you may have never encountered before)

Big Bad City (Jun 1, 2011 8:08:49 PM)
(Here's what I would like to know. What kind of progress did you make with the other 2 ST's?

Akako Masako (Jun 1, 2011 8:13:13 PM)
(very little with Saphirra.. though we did have 7+ players willing to contribute to an urban protectorate most of them GWs and ShLs, then we had a whole tribal meeting with crypt about it, about how we wanted to continue to push towards building our united GW front within the city. we as a tribe were going to buy out one of the hotels in the city, and turn the bottom floor into a casino. then he disappeared. )

Akako Masako (Jun 1, 2011 8:16:05 PM)
(so since the beginning of the year, since everyone seemed to lose interest in doing anythign within the city, i decided fine... I'd do something myself. In the long run, it'll benefit Gaia, myself, and the Urban spirits)

Akako Masako (Jun 1, 2011 8:18:19 PM)
(because I can build "hidden" shrines around my business venture, to pay homage to the spirits, as well as... sneakily get mortals to pay homage as well.. and thus strengthen the spirit brood)

Akako Masako (Jun 1, 2011 8:18:41 PM)
(like http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1175/1178972534_5c0541df19.jpg <-- totally a shrine to raccoon and trash heap)

Big Bad City (Jun 1, 2011 8:24:37 PM)
(Alright, so this is a fantastic idea, the whole thing. And I will say again that I would like to see this go through. But you are going to need help. You do not have human contacts or really any knowledges that are going to make this a plausible solo mission. Things you can do solo, check the area out. File for the permits, etc. You will need to find a way to raise money, either getting together enough people with enough resources or holding a fundraiser to raise the money.)

Big Bad City (Jun 1, 2011 8:25:07 PM)
(I can understand your frustration with the whole situation, but from what I understand, nothing was ever acted on, things were only ever discussed. So now, you get to take some actions)

Akako Masako (Jun 1, 2011 8:27:56 PM)
(kinda hard to take action when everyone else looses interest >.< you just end up with a broke GW who does all the work.. then some ShL would just step in and take all the credit!)

Big Bad City (Jun 1, 2011 8:29:16 PM)
(Well, bring back their interest. Get them together, make the rolls for the permits for starters. And then start gathering up players who can offer some capital)

Akako Masako (Jun 1, 2011 8:29:38 PM)
(06/02/11 00:22:23 Akako Masako rolls 5 dice vs. diff of 6 to Int+Law (Permit Paperwork): 4, 6, 4, 4, 3 : 1 successes *hates paperwork*)

Akako Masako (Jun 1, 2011 8:29:55 PM)
(*just bribes lots and lots of Weath Spirits*)

Akako Masako (Jun 1, 2011 8:30:06 PM)
(wealth**)

Big Bad City (Jun 1, 2011 8:30:28 PM)
(Spirits of wealth can't make wealth. They just represent it :) )

Big Bad City (Jun 1, 2011 8:30:37 PM)
(Alright, paperwork was successfully filed)

Big Bad City (Jun 1, 2011 8:31:22 PM)
(I will send you an FPM with some more information to work on by tomorrow. And perhaps it will also give you a way to get other players involved in what you're doing. :) )

Akako Masako (Jun 1, 2011 8:32:07 PM)
(I suppose I'll try to get other people involved *grumps* I'd really hate to have to go out of my tribe though... everyone else will just put their nose in my business afterwards >.< )

Big Bad City (Jun 1, 2011 8:32:25 PM)
(The risk of getting investors :) )

Akako Masako (Jun 1, 2011 8:35:03 PM)
(*grumbles faintly* I'll... attempt to include them)

Big Bad City (Jun 1, 2011 8:35:20 PM)
(You can go only in your tribe, go out of your tribe, or get only kinfolk. It's all up to you)

Akako Masako (Jun 1, 2011 8:37:17 PM)
(We shall see! *starts making a list*)

Big Bad City (Jun 1, 2011 8:37:38 PM)
(Alrighty. I'll leave you too it. And I'll shoot you that FPM by tomorrow :) Good Luck)
