Town Thousand Islands

[New Dracora]

Do harps count?

[morlago]

We're now hiring at the Islands Hotel!!!

[Ananke II]

Maybe we should start with getting the necessities covered before we start with the hotels, bars and such?

[Bad Infinitum]

You're saying the bars aren't necessary?

Looks like we just found our town crazy person.

[Shelter from the Storm]

Hey! I started a hospital!

*becomes the town Economist*

ZOMGWTFBBQ! We don't have a stable financial system! The dead weight loss in the hotel industry is enormous! We can't supply our town with Giffen goods in the long-run! And don't even get me started on how Shelter is price targeting his health services!

Alternatively:

*becomes a politician and/or political theorist*

In the humble opinion of this political scientist, the town's lack of political structure will inevitably be its downfall. Without at least one person to oversee the construction and maintenance of a suitable infrastructure system, including roads, plumbing, electricity, and high-speed internet, it seems likely that the town will falter in its infant months, and end up a ghost town, facades of buildings with no true heart or soul to them lining the so-called 'road'. Indeed, without at least one person to oversee the businesses in the area, they may end up pricing their goods as monopolies, in essence crushing all possibility of a stable and flourishing economy. As well, said person must also make sure that law and order is maintained, lest the Village Idiot be allowed to molest each and every person with a bluhbluhbluh on his or her head.

Of course, in order to undertake such broad projects, this person must be allowed to collect taxes to fund the construction of roads and pipelines, to pay for the services of a police officer and firefighter, and to subsidize the high-speed internet provider.

In conclusion, a strong central government is necessary, and sufficient, to allow for this town to prosper and grow, and to become a place where people can raise a family in safety and comfort, and provide for all the decadence of life.

Well, we DO have a Mayor....

I suppose I'll be the local church pastor. Can't have society w/o religion!

Fine, you can be the local church pastor. I am appointing myself Bishop. I will be requiring an elaborate Cathedral from which to administer from.

In the ecclesiastical structure of our towns denomination, the seat of the bishop is the highest position. (Meaning nobody can claim to be pope or cardinal or archbishop.)

*nominates self as primary town developer/planner/architect*

Well get on it, then! Can't have a lazy Mayor who doesn't know how to regulate.

As the town's political scientist and economist, I suggest we begin by electing ND as our planner/architect so we can get an infrastructure set up. I personally enjoy having electricity and running water...

[Shelter from the Storm]

Whatever... As mayor, I am mostly interested in bribes, taxes and how to get more bribes and taxes. (Did I just say that out loud?)

[Lichto]

Such... bad... politics....

*head asplodes*

Our economy needs some work, too. The hotel, bar and restaurant seem to be doing very well... but I don't see a gamer's lounge anywhere around here...

[Hockeynutville]

Hmmm, Perhaps ol' hockey can contribute to the town somehow?

Let's see, I'm a mechanic, drink lots of beer and am totally awesome. What do you think of my resume?

[Lichto]

The town Totally Awesome Drunk Mechanic!

Sounds like the least stressful job in the Islands!

[Hockeynutville]

Well, I could train an apprentice...

[Lichto]

And whom would you train to be your apprentice?

I would volunteer, but I have no desire to be a mechanic.

[Hockeynutville]

That depends how many drinks you can go before you start to see two wrenches...

[Lichto]

Mmm, not too many, I'm afraid. That's why I stick to my crisp, clear, clean, cool water.

;D

Speaking of which, I should create a town lake of Lichto Water!

[Hockeynutville]

I could a build a drain system to pipe it in to every house...

[Shelter from the Storm]

Won't that cut into business at the university bar?

[New Dracora]

*Starts hiring contractors.*

H'ok... looks like we got water sorted out... what about power? What kind of powerplant you want me to build?

[Lichto]

NUCULAR!!!!111!

We can get rid of the waste in one of Lichto's large and uninhabited deserts.

[Shelter from the Storm]

Nuclear power? Can we tax it?

[Japanese Holland]

No, we should tax people for having bluhbluhbluh's in their houses.

[morlago]

I'll be the towns first undertaker...

Coffins, flowers... very cheap and nice. I recently bought one for myself too...

[Echolilia]

I've always hankered to be a florist.

[Anartonia]

I'm somewhat good at filling the empty void Echo left here...

[Boltor]

Yeah resurrecting long dead threads

[Anartonia]

Exactly!
