Toarobot, you said in the rules that research costs 30 widgets. I also said I wanted to make a new gun right after I sold the one. So I had 2... plus 30 for selling the gun, 32, made another gun, 12, got the 20 for research, researched, so I should have 2 again. http://www.bzpower.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/sighw.gif

30 widgets is fine. I vote for... erm... Tyler... http://www.bzpower.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/blush.png :lookaround:Thanks for the donation! I'd like to do some research. :)Is someone still selling food?

I'll sell a gun to JI1223X and make another gun. Belonephobia- are you still donating the 20 widgets for research? I'd really appreciate it.I investigated the robbery! Unfortunately it failed.

So it seems like I'm not getting the coins for my first contract. Will somebody else propose one maybe? I'm starving here... http://www.bzpower.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/blush.png As we learned from this last murder, it's pretty easy to get away with them when you're attacking someone without weapons.

I will buy a balco berry. JI1223 X - I agreed to the contract, but Toarobot needs you to agree again I guess before it starts. I did some research and it failed, but if our army is going to get better weapons I need to try again. I investigated the murder with no results. As a police matoran, if we ever get a tax bill, I think I should get payed too.

@ JI1223 X Ok I agree to the contract.I would like to do some weapons research...I'm asking again for somebody to amend the weapons control bill so that weapons business owners do not have a weapons limit.

(thankyou to the moderator/s who have been approving my posts... I'll try to post elsewhere so that my post count goes up)Toa Onarax - thanks, I approve the purchaseJI1223 x - Thanks for the offer. I would agree (if you agree to what is below) but I don't have any idea of how much I will be earning. If we go to war and I get a research grant then I will be earning more and wouldn't want to do this. I will let you know in a day or two. Just checking - do you mean by profits what I earn from each purchase after I subtract the manufacturing cost? If that is the case then I would want to add that I don't violate the contract if I don't immediately supply you the widgets I owe, as I may not have them all on hand at the time. It might be that I owe you 20 but only have 20 on hand, in which I case I would want to try to sell a gun and then pay you. I would like maybe a week to pay you, or you can just trust me to pay you when affordable. Though if I violate it it looks like I'd still earn ten widgets.

1. I'm missing from your list! Anyways, the murderer can't be arrested because he hasn't committed a crime. You guys need to make some more bills!2. You guys should also make a bill that says Ex post facto laws can't be created so people aren't arrested for something that was legal when they did it. Of course with the exception of murder if we find the culprit.3. As I said before, and one of the senators also said, can you please amend your weapons law so that weapons business owners do not have a weapons limit.4. You guys can go ahead and help soso-nui - and then find that Westark has ten times more military power than you. That said, can I please have a government donation to be used to research more powerful weapons to be sold to our military?5. I'd like to buy a loaf of bread and make another zamer revolver.6. 1 zamer revolver for sale for 35 widgets! Please buy and protect yourself! Because I only have 4 widgets left... Your weapons business is about to go bankrupt too!

aww I love them! I'm excited to see Tahu.

I'd like to make 1 zamer revolver. It is for sale for 35 widgets. I'm interested in buying bread when more is made.

JiMing, how much does the bread cost?

I'd like to buy a weapons business please. I will need a few guns to protect myself, and then also guns to sell. Once I research more advanced weapons I'll need to have a variety on hand. Therefore, I ask the senators to make an amendment to their weapons restrictions law so that weapons business owners are exempt. Also, that last update makes it sound like that country may attack us. Therefore I would appreciate a donation from the government; I need to research more advanced weapons so that our army will be completely prepared for an attack. However, I don't have much spare money.

Well, I don't think it's really that difficult to understand once you get into it. I kind of walk people through things. As far as I'm concerned, as long as they read General Rules and the section related to their position (business, military, etc.), they should be fine.As far as length of the rulebook goes, I guess no one has played Axis & Allies or Diplomacy. I could shorten them by simply making them less detailed, but then I'm left answering more questions in the topic. If you have any specific suggestions for modifying them though, go ahead. I could shift the detailed rules into another post and put "quick start rules" or the like in the first post, if you think that'd be better.You have one guaranteed businessmatoran, my sister, when she gets around to posting (don't worry, I'm nagging her for you). But certainly could use more than one.OK ok I join...

Kind of small for the prices... and too bad there aren't any Hobbit sets, what with the movie coming out, but other than that, awesome!
