PEI Game

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

I've decided to keep this as the "main thread" where assembly/senate discussions/decisions are, and, where news will be posted by me.

Note however the results of your actions will be posted in the actions thread.

When the game resumes in 15 minutes it will be week 7 of Spring.

GAME UNPAUSED.
Business Before the Senate

There is still some wonder about the people sighted across the straight.

There is still the concern about Princeton.

The island has been undertaken in rapid inflation due to the fact that currency is running out. There are no sources for any of the metals in existence on the island and barter is beginning to replace currencies. There are reports of Gold ( € ) being traded for 50 silver ( £ ) and silver for 200 Copper ( $ )

[Citizen (The) Doctor]

Should we raise prices of commodities then?

I thought I paid for all-season roads?

[Vazdul (Formerly Chairman of the Communist Party of Ontario)]

I propose that representatives of the national government be sent across the southern strait to explore the lands to the south, and make contact with residents there.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

That would cost more

You can upgrade if you wish

also
Militiamen in Bedford wonder if they are going to get paid? The militia is a volunteer service but the Chancellor has been using them as a standing army. They uurge the chancellor to create a standing army so that they can be paid.

How much more would it cost?

As the tensions between Bedford and Hillsborough seem to have eased, the Chancellor rescinds the order regarding militia placement. Militiamen stationed in the cities of Rosebank, Tracadie, and Mount Stewart are free to return to their homes. However, 10 horses and 1 boat will continue to be reserved for militia use.

The decree regarding Bedford's fisherman and sailing vessels being prohibited from entering the territorial waters of Hillsborough Parish remains in effect.

In particular this is in response to your requests for a naval expedition.

1€ to upgrade every road in your expanded parish to all-season

Nevermind then.  That price is way too high.  How many times that it rain too much anyways?

Besides, I need to pay for my Infrastructure Acts (they're in the Actions thread if you wanna see)

The Chancellor is willing to pay those who take part in active duty for an extended period, but wishes to refrain from creating a standing army, as he does not wish to appear belligerent. The Bedford Parish Militia remains primarily a volunteer service.

Note - A government may convert between currencies at any time they wish, they just need to contact a merchant who will give them his prices.

I take it that the fixed currency legislation failed in the Senate?

[Obnoxiously Slutty Girly Girl]

As Ἄρχων Ἅγιου Ιωάννου, I would like to voice support for a free market in currency.

 But if there is a shortage of currency currently, shouldn't we be seeing some price deflation?

When inflation took hold, many senators lost interest.

People are hoarding larger currencies hoping that the values will rise. € are becoming especially scarce as people do not want to pay with them.

I, the Magistrate of the land called St. Andrew, have awoken from my long slumber. I concur that an expedition should be sent into the Southern lands, and offer my harbors as refuge for adventurers.

And what of the other proposals (Reapportionment of the Assembly, and Omnibus Transportation Act)?

[Psychic Octopus]

I, the Magistrate of the Parish of Saint Andrew, do hereby decree that a national harbor shall be built at the so aptly named Murray Harbour.

For my second decree, I decree that roads shall be built between Murray Harbour, Murray River, Albion, and Gaspereaux.

[Vazdul (Formerly Chairman of the Communist Party of Ontario)]

What is the purpose of counties? There is no government at the county level: all government is handled either by the Parishes or by the national government. So what duties, responsibilities, powers, and rights are held by the counties?

you should do this in the actions thread

[Swedish Rainbow Capitalist Cheese]

My fellow senators, as you all know I rencently returned from an expedition to investigate the situation in Princeton. I was unfortuntaley stopped by a roadblock from properly entering the town. It is my fear, that when not even a good Bishop of right hounarble church is allowed enterance to the city, something really fishy is going on, and I therefore ask for your and national govement's premission to have a melitia take it by force.   

[Citizen (The) Doctor]

You know what, I'm going to go to Princeton myself to see what the hell is going on over there.  This is getting way too weird.

I'm taking the whole damn militia with me, both the old Egmont and the Halifax.  That should be enough to scare those guards.

The Provost urgently inquires as to whether you will use force to seize the town if you are denied access. He would not approve of such an expedition if it is for the purpose of conquest, though he feels that the government of Princeton has clearly proven itself incapable of rule.

I am not there for conquest purposes.  Simply, the idea of sending the entire militia was to scare away the guards so I could enter the city personally.

Sadly that doesn't seem to be working out to well.
