This is a combo of an idea I had for "the island" game, and a combo of my canadian political sim idea.

This is not some rough combo idea, in fact, this is a very old idea from back when I used to live on PEI and back before I had friends on the internet Tongue It was a game I'd play with myself. Since it fits in between these two ideas (which are also games I used to play with myself during that time) I think that it might be more successful.

First of all, get to know this map:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f8/PrinceEdwardIsland_map_1874.jpg
And this map:
http://atlanticportal.hil.unb.ca/acva/macdonald/images/gallery/zoom/pei_map.jpg

This is the island you will be playing on.
It is a real place: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Edward_Island


Here is a rail map I made: http://maps.google.ca/maps/ms?hl=en&geocode=&ie=UTF8&vps=1&jsv=289a&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=101714683938336514556.00049383c750da072fcdb

I will put this on the "game" map in a bit.


As for the "story" in short:

A number of people have been thrown back in time (or at least that is what you guys can figure) to PEI before it was developed. But, there is no one around, except you people of course.

You have been chosen as a leader of a Parish (or a group of Parishes) and as such, you sit on the Island wide council.

More to come! Sign up below!!




This is the game map: http://www.ridingbyriding.ca/AMSTAR/pei_map.gif

Note each Parish has a Capitol City (square dot)

This is a smaller reference map:

You may also pick one of these titles:

prefect
captain
commander
comptroller
magistrate
chair
(super)intendent
manager
chief
reeve
sheriff
provost
mayor
warden
dean
chancellor
director
(grand)archon
lord
(arch)duke
(vis)count
bishop


HOWEVER... only one person per title!!! So pick your favourite fast!

You will then be the ___ of that Parish.

IE the Chief of the Halifax Parish or the Director of the East Parish etc.


You may also submit your own for approval, but it should ideally be something in the vein of the above.

BANNED TITLES!

King, or anything like Emperor, Sultan etc.
I am King Tongue

President, Prime Minister, Governor etc.
We will elect that Tongue



NORTH - Anne, Countess
EGMONT - Temporarily Off Limits
HALIFAX - Zero, The Director
RICHMOND - oakvale, dean
ST. DAVID - Swedish Cheese, The Bishop
PRINCETON - Temporarily Off Limits
GRENVILLE - homelycooking, Provost
HILLSBOROUGH - Sewer, Duke
CHARLOTTE - Temporarily Off Limits
CHARLOTTETOWN - Bacon King, Mayor
BEDFORD - Vazdul, Chancellor
ST. JOHN - Libertas, Archon
ST. PATRICK - Barnes, Lord
ST. GEORGE - Temporarily Off Limits
ST. ANDREW - N!K, magistrate
GEORGETOWN - Temporarily Off Limits
EAST - RosettaStoned, Warden

Pronouncation tips:

Crapaud - "Crap O"
Gaspereaux - "Gasp Er O"
Montague - "Mont ah Q"
Souris - "SueRee"


TOO LATE!?

Each parish can have a deputy! You can apply to play and wait until someone accepts you, or, if you are smart, you will PM someone you already know who is playing and ask to be their deputy!

This will also help in the instance when someone goes AWOL, their parish will not fall into disorder.

You may.


Charlottetown is yours; however "Mayor" as a title is taken.

I shall be Dean of Richmond if no-one else has taken it.

It is yours.


Yes, you may also pick a title.

My mistake, Mayor is not taken, it is yours.

Also, map updated. St. Andrew is the only free parish!

Three rural parishes remain reserved for the purposes of giving all of you something to fight over.

Excellent. Then I shall henceforth be known by the style and title of homelycooking, Provost of Grenville.

(It's not a big deal, Teddy, but could you correct the spelling of my name on your territory map? Provosts do not appreciate the misspelling of their most honorable and majestic names. Smiley )

Your name is "too long"

I will call you "Provost" Grin

I, the Right Honorable Chancellor of the Parish of Bedford, am greatly displeased that the provincial government continues to deny Bedford's rightful jurisdiction over Governor's Island and the surrounding territorial waters. These territorial waters are an integral part of Bedford, yet the provincial government continues to ignore the plight of our budding shipping industry. A stately residence in Charlottetown would be more than suitable for the provincial government's needs.

The island belongs to me Tongue Not the provincial government (which you can also call federal, or national)

Also note you are all Senators! Each parish sends two Senators to the Senate, with the exception of the non-Charlottetown county seats, which each send one.

This is also an assembly, but none of you get to play in that, sorry Tongue

Statement from the King

The island remains under the civil administration of the parish, however, is private property of the crown, but that ownership is no different than the ownership of a farm by a private citizen with the parish, except that the owner is the crown.

SPRING UPDATES

Each parish collects a tithe of 10% on all income. This is what the citizens expect.
Each parish in turn sends 1/3rd of their income to the national government.

There are three different currencies on the island.
The Pound of Stirling Silver £
The Pound of Gold €
the Pound of Copper $

Though there are no set prices for conversion, 90-110 $ can buy you one £, and 30-35 £ can buy you one €

Depends on the size of the boat. In general, anything wide enough to be shown as an open river on the large map (and not just a line) is navigable by at least the smallest of boats.

Let's say (hypothetically) that I wanted to take an ironclad frigate up the Hillsborough River. How far could I go? And what's the largest boat that could dock in Mount Stewart?

Although you do have the pleasure of owning and operating the largest, most militarily powerful boat in the entire island, I think that you should be aware of it's size. Here is a picture of the vessel.

Last one here, St. Andrew, and I wish to be the Magistrate.
It is done.
I, Barnes, Lord of St. Patrick, do hereby decree that a small, iron rail bridge shall be constructed to cross the Morrell River, and to replace the current, dilapidated, track.  The construction of said track shall be in way that shall not upset the daily train fare through the town of Morrell and the surrounding countryside.
The current rail bridge provides for two tracks and a rail connection in both directions. It is considered to be "adequate" by current standards.

As the Right Honourable Director of Halifax, I do request that the Parish of Egmont be dissolved due to a lack of organization and leader, and it's territory absorbed by North and Halifax Parish.

Patience my friend Tongue

It does have a leader, but, as noted, the leader did not bother to show herself to the Senate, has not shown a deputy, nor has sent any Assembly members.


Also, more in a bit.

A messenger has arrived from Egmont.

They inform the Senate and Assembly that Jane is living a "private" live, farming and fishing, in Alberton, and that she has "no interest" in governing Egmont. Lots have elected Assemblymen (he claims to be the member for Lot 5, but without signed papers from the Captain of the Parish, this could be legally questioned). He says the Captain has not appointed a Deputy Senator (and thus why no one of that rank has shown up).

Assemblymen from the North Parish back up certain parts of the story. They say they were also told Jane has "no interest" in governing, that there is no Deputy Senator, and that elections were held from what they know.

The messenger from Egmont further states

I, the Right Honorable Chancellor of the Parish of Bedford, am greatly displeased that the provincial government continues to deny Bedford's rightful jurisdiction over Governor's Island and the surrounding territorial waters. These territorial waters are an integral part of Bedford, yet the provincial government continues to ignore the plight of our budding shipping industry. A stately residence in Charlottetown would be more than suitable for the provincial government's needs.

As Mayor of Charlottetown, I must give my thanks to you for recognizing the prestige of my city. While I do sympathize with your argument, as Charlottetown's maritime industries are similarly nascent, I believe the correspondence from the Crown on the issue demonstrates a problem does not exist as such.

This territorial dispute does raise another issue, however; I assume the vessels that berth at Charlottetown have a right of passage through the "territorial" waters of neighboring parishes, do they not? Raising this issue of coastal control gives me concern that rural parishes may seek to abuse their power and cause duress to the industries of our fair capital city. In particular, I was perturbed by your seemingly veiled threat to patrol the Hillsborough River with heavily armed vessels! Do understand that Charlottetown is the heart of our island, both culturally and economically. Any action you take that weakens my city will weaken you as a result. I do hope that cool heads will prevail.



In addition, as Mayor of the Queen's County Seat, I would like to suggest a county-wide conference regarding the future status of Charlotte Parish. Reeve Lance's utter negligence towards his duties is most striking.

At the present time, the Parish of Bedford will allow all ships passage through the waters under its jurisdiction. My main concern regarding the issue of territorial waters was that the crown would deny Bedford its right to fish in the waters of Hillsborough Bay that, on the map, are shown to belong to Bedford. As for warships in the Hillsborough River, I was more concerned about the fact that I might wake up one morning to discover that Rosebank or Mount Stewart had been bombarded. I know not the motives of my fellow Senators, and the defense of Bedford is my foremost concern.

With regard to Charlotte Parish, I am of the opinion that Reeve Lance should be stripped of his rank, and the Parish be divided amongst its neighbors. I propose the following division:

Lot 24: To Grenville
Lot 32: To Hillsborough
Lot 33: To Charlottetown
Lot 34: To Bedford

Further, I propose ferry service be initiated between Charlottetown and Rosebank. It is ludicrous that I must travel by rail for forty-some miles to take my seat in the Senate when I reside just across the river.

The Deputy Senator for Charlotte contests this, saying that there is no need.

The Senator also indicates, privately, that Parish Unity is somewhat of a popular concept here, but that without a Reeve to tell him or his assemblymen how to vote, that he could be "persuaded" to support initiatives of "neighbours" if they were to "show their friendship" towards him. In other words, he indicates he can be bought for the right price.

Would a union between the town and parish of Charlotte be considerable to the Deputy Senator (who I'm going to give him the name Jameson for simplicity's sake, if that's okay)? Both would benefit immensely. As Mayor of Charlottetown I suggest a full partnership between our parishes, with myself, while remaining Mayor of my city, would simultaneously serve as the leader of a new Greater Charlotte Parish; I would charge the Reeve with governance of the existing rural territory; essentially the same job he has now without the national entanglements he deems undesireable. To demonstrate our unity I'd select Deputy Senator Jameson to continue his role for the combined Parish.

Such a union would be vastly beneficial to both Charlotte and Charlottetown; the city contains many wealthy merchants and thus has a sizable tax base, which then would be directly available to improving the communities of the rural Charlotte Parish and the lives of its people. In addition, the closer economic ties that unity brings would benefit all citizens of both regions. I also discretely note to Deputy Senator Jameson that, with the greater government funds, Charlottetown compensates its officials for their service a significantly greater amount than a rural parish could provide.

If such a complete union is not a possibility, however, the government of Charlottetown notes that it is always open to a closer partnership with its northern neighbor in any way it finds possible.
He is open to this idea, but not of complete union at this time, rather, of working together in a close manner.

Princeton: Some historic claim from Lot 18 to the area, however, there is also a claim from Lot 14.
Charlottetown: Winsloe residents, living a 90 minute walk from Charlottetown, would like the ability to work in the city. While nothing currently prevents them from doing so, they would like a local City/Parish law passed within Charlottetown that recognizes their right to do just this.
Georgetown: Some have proposed annexing this to a rural lot or parish.
