Name: Angelo
Gender: Male
Background: Any corporation needs a strong set of morals and guidelines to operate properly as part of the larger community. Government laws and regulations make it in the Company's interest to create a safe and conscious work environment. However, any corporation that focuses too heavily on ethics and common decency will find itself uninteresting and unable to attract customers. This is because, at its essence, the customer is a misanthropic parasite of the Earth. In order to strike the proper balance between good publicity and evil, a corporation needs to actively plan and manufacture both positive propaganda (such as "green" cars) and heinous scandals (such as the highly-successful "Enron scandal"). This is Angelo's job. He is a fairly liberal 38 year old business major from Stanford, but is more often found playing the role of a fat balding 55 year old conservative Anglo-Saxon protestant who hates the lower classes.
Position: The Department of Ethics and Unethics
Skills: Propaganda-ing, good people skills
Maluses: Hated/bad publicity with lower classes

Blah, blah, blah, TF2 character go.

Name: Dell Conagher
Gender: Male
Position: Head of Defence Technology and Robotics
Skills: PATENTED! (Can build anything he has patented in an instant. He's just cool like that.) Not so Frail after all! (Strong enough to live a minigun and fire it effectively. Anything heavier than that he can't do, though, and gets a -1 when trying. Anything lighter is a breeze, and gets a +1 to these.) Forgetful (If he doesn't make a reminder to himself of where something is, he will get a -1 to finding it later on.) Guitar Master (Can strum a mean tune. And hits hard with it. +1 to using and fighting with Musical Instruments.)

(( I guess but that would have to mean that green can not touch guns then. Btw green how is -1 to weapons lighter then it really a downside when the minigun is heavier then every infantry gun ever made other then a rocket launcher?
I edited the company to fit you two better and make it more obvious who has what job.
So it's Automated weapons systems and defense tech ( Which can easily include defense tech and robots. and the second specialization is Advanced firearms which fits for tsuchigumo.  ))

Post by: Greenstarfanatic on October 23, 2012, 11:43:08 pm
....What? I am in Defensive Tech, with a secondary area of Robotics. I build Sentries, Dispensers, Teleporters. The like. Have you never played TF2? I can hold guns, I just don't make them. I get a -1 to lifting and using ANYTHING heavier than a Heavy's minigun, and a Rocket Launcher is WAAAAAY Lighter than a minigun, by Video Game Logic, which I assume is what this shall be partially running on, not Normal Logic.

(( Nope it's actually a perfect combo with Penguins. He's great at propaganda and your great public relations. The two of you should make a great combo.

Nope never played it. But I edited the company to specialize in all forms of engineering ( Your stuff ) and firearms ( Tsuchigumo's stuff ) so it fits both of you. But to clarify that skill is it +1 just to lifting anything minigun weight or lighter or +1 to any roll using something minigun weight or lighter? ))

Head of engineering would be the one to think of how you're actually going to produce the products and being head of technology means that you're spearheading the R&D section of Robotics and Defence technology.
(( I assume my character does not screw with any of yours, as nobody has called me out. Am I correct or should I make adjustments? ))
Unless someone wants to be in this as a PR person, you're perfectly fine.You''ll also have to work very closely with peglegpenguin as he is the Ethics guy.

Multiple people.
Side-note: l'll write the turn after school
Reserve.

Company name : Asimov industries.
All forms of engineering ( From robots and armored vehicles to dispensers and teleporters ) and advanced firearms.


Name : Damion porter.
Gender : Male.

(( Is this all ok? ))


First of all, does "All forms of engineering" a wee bit overpowered, I mean we're talking about Specialization here when you're focusing on that many things at once you're bound to have lower quality products. You're not the biggest corporation out there. Second, "Advanced Firearms" is under Defense Technology, it's not like fighter planes where you have to work with Aerospace Engineering. "Advanced Firearms" is just far too specialized
(( I'd assume so given that you can pick a job on the board of directors so you could have a fair few players. ))
I did say that you guys were the Board of Directors, right?
Title: Re: Roll to Corporation: First Board Meeting
Post by: Firelordsky on October 24, 2012, 04:34:26 pm
Board Meeting in Neapolis, Neapolis
The CEO states, "We have all come here today to discuss the direction our company will go for the next few years. As you all know, we are facing an incursion from Duck mercenaries near our base in Atlarkia, our Security teams down there report that there might also be a penguin army mobilizing on the borders of The Free State of Atlarkiag and The Democratic Republic of Penguinia. Mr.Conagher, your objective is to research a weapon that's more reliable, accurate, and powerful than the current SEAR's that we are using as it appears our competitors, APULIA, are rapidly gaining popularity through their new "M-98" Which is far lighter than our SEAR's and and has greater firepower.

"Dimitri, you will work with Mr.Conagher to produce the most efficient weapon you two can make."
"Corai, you will work together with Angelo to pacify the Duck Population by peaceful means as they are the native inhabitants of Neapolis and we wish to make sure that they don't think that we're the enemy.You may build buildings and monuments and whatever you wish to do, just as long as you get the job done."
"Damion, You are to transfer down to our base in Atlarkia and deal with those Duck mercenaries by either hiring them or just outright pacifying them; your call."
"That is all for this Board Meeting of the Asimov Corporation. Good day."

Bring up the records of the companies entire security force, highlight all personnel who have combat training and experience and what form of combat they are trained in.
Put a message out stating the following.

"Asimov Industries is looking to hire additional security personnel. Military or law enforcement tactical training required with 5+ years of experience and significant combat experience is prefered. All applicants who meet this criteria are welcome regardless of why your service in your previous job ended."
All applications are to be sent to me the moment I arrive at our facility in Atlarkia

"Well I've got places to go and people to have shot I'll see you guys in a week or two I guess try not to blow yourself up while I'm away guys its a lot of paperwork."

Punch random machinery, opening hatch full of perfectly chilled vodka. Share. Play around on technological wonder that is phone while brain does job.

Say "I play on tech wonder that is phone while brain jobs."



Send mail to all factory floor workers:
"The goose has left the rocket propulsion test chambers, initiate Ultraviolet Sunday."

Pull up previous sent message:
"Ultraviolet Sunday"
"Get the whole floor set up for SEAR construction, but gather all the other stuff too. When I get there, have already imbibed enough vodka to build the SEAR II so we can prepare the rest of the special package."

"Well I've got places to go and people to have shot I'll see you guys in a week or two I guess try not to blow yourself up while I'm away guys its a lot of paperwork."
You look up the corporation's security personnel and it appears that the majority of your security forces are made up of[5] Highly trained soldiers from all over the world. Many of their feats include: Killing a whole corporation's private army, completely conquering the ducks in just 42 hours, etc. Your security force is basically made up of the best of the best. You then put out a message that says,"Asimov Industries is looking to hire additional security personnel. Military or law enforcement tactical training required with 5+ years of experience and significant combat experience is preferred. All applicants who meet this criteria are welcome regardless of why your service in your previous job ended."
You later, on the plane to Atlarkia, get[3] 30 applications from some individuals ranging from[2] lazy,fat security guards and lazy,fat police officers. Oh well, at least you didn't get a virus.

Try to find my patent for the Mini-Sentry. And the Normal Sentry. And for my robotic Spies.
You try to search for your patents for some of your previous inventions and[1-1] you aren't able to find anything, including your clothes because you were all required to be at the Board meeting naked, so as to discourage any attempts at killing the CEO. You're now walking around naked. Condition added: As Naked as a Baby: -1 to social interactions until you find some clothes.
Research the Duck people's culture and behavior, including their opinion on the corporation and how liberal/conservative they are.

Same exact action as Corai, except with more emphasis on the duck's psychology, fears, and culture.
You both try to find out about the Ducks before you even think of a plan. Corai manages to find[2] nothing whatsoever that is of use, except that the Ducks are known to eat their own feather. Angelo finds[5] almost everything there is to know about the Ducks' culture. Which isn't very much. The Duck's hate duck-eating people and viciously fight whenever anyone brings up the topic of grilled cheese sandwiches which is almost a taboo for them,and they appear to worship a god called "KthAlu". As for their psychology, they will do anything to keep a semblance of their freedom and survive in the process, and they extremely hard workers and it has been known that Ducks can and will work up to 18 hours a day if you actually pay them.Duck's are afraid of anything that will kill them, including each-other, and grilled-cheese sandwiches.

You attempt to punch machinery, but[1-1] you actually realizes that these are not your ideas, instead they are someone else's and thus you drink copious amounts of vodka and fall into a deep sleep about you thinking about you drinking codka (New vodka type created by Codka which utilizes cocaine and vodka into one drink.). Sucks for you, blame your free will, not me.
