Board Effort Towards a Fictional Universe...

OK. Ladies and gentlemen of the board, I have a favour to ask.

 

Having looked through the logos that are present in this data, I have thought about the possibility of including a few of the promotions as potential future companies in the London-Verse (or smaller promotions in the data's present start date).

 

I have received permission from the individual artists who have created them, but I just wanted to post in this thread so people can see my intentions with complete transparency. The logos that I wind up using (nothing is set in stone at this stage), will share the name of the promotion that is present in this mod (in most cases) and that is most likely where the similarities will end. The characters involved will not be the same as I will be creating London-Verse specific workers to work for these promotions.

 

Basically what I am writing is that I intend to use some of the logos present in this mod for the London-Verse and want to make sure that this won't upset or anger anybody from here.

 

If anybody here is unhappy with this, I would like to point out the fact that I have no problems with the Board Effort mod using promotions that are in the L-Verse either. Nor do I have any qualms with them using any of my renders.

However, if it's any promotion other than AWF (maybe a couple of others, can't remember off the top of my head) in the L-verse please do let me know, because I created most of the logos and it'd be nice to know ;)

Fair point.

 

Feel a little embarassed now. :p

 

XCW, JWA and HLG were made by aja_nyc, I know that.

Choose carefully since I know there are a few logos in there that you didn't get permission for since the creators are no longer here and a couple others I know you don't have permission for, even though the creators are still here.

 

As well as a couple others that you don't even know who the creators were, little easter eggs in the mod.

Why out of all of the logos on this site do you want these?

 

There are tons of logos in ReapeR's and Kam's threads and I am sure they would not have a problem with you using those logos. Why not ask sebsplex or jhd1 if you can use logos from their mods?

 

See I am going to be blunt here; your post came across as very passive-aggressive to me. Why should someone who abandoned this mod have the right to use stuff from it that they did not make?

 

You are a creative guy, why can’t you think up your own names for promotions?

 

I know this mod may never see the light of day, but still this does not give you the right to come in here and say I am going to do this and there is nothing you can do about it.

 

If you want to pull your renders fine go ahead, that way you cannot hold anything over us.

 

Heck I would not even disagree with you using the logos with just initials on it because you could use those initials to name the company whatever you can come up with. However, I do not want you using names of promotions that I thought up. The logo artists just made the logo; I came up with the actual names and as Kobe said, besides dvdWarrior’s promotion these promotion names are supposed to be mod specific.

Really BHK1978?

 

I am honestly quite shocked at your reaction to tell you the truth.

 

The artists I have permission from are aja_nyc and Kanchatka. I have links to their files so I know what logos they created. I don't want to turn this into an argument at all. I ask if I can use some logos and suddenly this gets turned into a rant about me abandoning the mod and trying to strip it to the core? Am I wrong in thinking that you yourself threw in the towel as well as many others for in-fighting such as this? I have said on multiple occasions, I have no problem with the renders I created staying in this mod and you try and insinuate that I am using that to hold you guys for ransom? Come on buddy, give me a bit more credit than that.

 

My intentions were to make a mod that the GDS board members can have fun with. Even though you said yourself that the board effort mod may never be completed and see the light of day, you still refuse to let someone like myself access a few of the logos? Well I can't say I'm not surprised and disappointed (especially with your reaction and insinuations) but hey, at least I tried to go the right way about things.

 

p.s. the renders I was referring to in my previous post were the renders I have made for the London-Verse, not the Board Effort mod. I was saying that I had no problem with you guys using stuff from my mod. I think that point was misinterpreted.

Then you won't mind forwarding me (maybe us depending on Bhk and others) a link to the render file?

Today I gave the MPWA, GLLM and EWO some popularity tweaks.

 

EWO

 

EWO was strengthen in French and English speaking areas mainly the northern border areas that the U.S. shares with Canada and gave them some spill over popularity in other areas. I'll get to why later on down.

 

Their presence was strengthened in the UK by giving them a small base to build from and in what I consider to be the location of France with a little spill over into the rest of Europe.

 

MPWA

 

MPWA was strengthened in the southern United States and given a little spill over into other areas. An unusual tweak was popularity added to Western Australia the reason for this is a "relationship with DULL" in the works.

 

GLLM

 

GLLM was given a base boost in non-Mexican areas with a large Spanish speaking populations. Setting themselves up with a few areas that have less of an MPWA presence and a way to avoid being tore down to regional by MPWA dominance.

 

The MPWA/EWO initiative

 

These tweaks have put them on the board as positioning for a rise to International status as they both try to take control of the U.S. market. It also puts them in a position to either share the market or engage in a full blown war over who gets it. At the same time its not enough to discourage growth in the American companies so there is potential for them to hit American roadblocks. (Note 1) Also the two companies each have an area at home that I didn't have to mess with and if ignored for too long could send them falling to Cult status.

 

 

Note 1: (This was tweaked by Adam for 2013 and will take them longer to drop to cult if they manage to rise to International first and thus giving the player time to build themselves back up in the area)

Contract upgrades, love it.. gonna be a lot to rework there but I can already see massive potential both good and bad for the companies in the c-verse and mods.

 

BHK, my suggestion is looking at US-A and figuring out the guys who got the crazy perk heavy contracts. I know the actual mechanics are not gonna be able to be used yet but a base outline for yourself could go a long way in being able to update this aspect quicker and your US-A is probably the one with the most craziness to it. :p

Can you please put EWO back to the way it was. I do not want them to have an inside edge on becoming an International Company and I do want them to have any spillover into Europe at all.

Going through the companies by region we need at least 16 more yet to debut companies.

 

USA - 5 minimum, 6 or 7 at most.

Canada - 1 or 2 more

Mexico- 1 or 2 more

UK - 2 more

Japan - 5 minimum, 7 or 8 max

Europe - 1 or 2 more

Australia - 1 or 2 more

 

Well I have these you are free to use ;)

It's not really that big of an inside edge as all of them gained a grade improvement on importance in just 2 actual areas. It's just more coverage, larger audience and the player would still have to work his tail off to get them up to International.

 

EWO itself had Maritimes already set at 80% and the area is so low on importance that the percent barely gives it a good grade. MPWA had a decent level of importance to build from in Hawaii and was on 0% for the area bumping them up to 10-15% didn't even change the grade.

 

IMO its not that big of a change, not that big of an edge. It's just more options to work with to get there. In my current 3 year test run neither have bumped up in year one.

 

I'll change it back but let me get my test results.

The four above may work but the 4 below are too similar to others already in.

Anyone else ever had a problem with a render you select for someone that doesn't appear after you save it to them?

 

The filename is probably too long. Try shortening the name of the image file in question and try again - if it then works okay you'll know that's the problem. :)

These logos aren't great, but they're available for use. I made them a while ago.
