Sephiroth Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) New Projects I. Pick a Number Game I have started this project in order to allow more nations without a lot of money, the chance to get it no matter how grim their situation is. Even the top 3 best number guessers all get a free slot of money, which I'm sure many new nations could really use. For those who like the Pick a Number Game and want to support its continued existence, any donations of tech to my 3 slots not occupied by the Pick a Number Game are appreciated greatly (although if you're sending me tech, you might as well accumulate Credits using the Banking System explained in II). Rules 1. You may only post once and must include the number you're guessing for your entry to be valid. 2. If you edit your post, you are disqualified. So you can't edit in another number if you change your mind or forget to include your guess in your first post. 3. Making more than one post in this thread disqualifies you. 4. The contest ends when someone guesses the number, so any guesses after someone gets it right doesn't count towards anything. 5. The contest also automatically ends within 10 days of posting this if no one has guessed the number yet. 1st, 2nd and 3rd place all still get money. 6. If more than one person guesses the same number, only the first person who guesses will have their guess count. For more information on the Pick a Number Game or if you want to take part in having a chance to win, visit the following thread. http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?/topic/121743-pick-a-number-game-free-money-giveaway/ II. Limitless Bank The Basic Concept is investing 200 tech in the Libertarian Empire or Limitless Nexus Bank, you earn 1 credits. This credit can later be redeemed to get a slot full of money sent to them (even if they are at war with more than half of CN!) or get 100 tech sent to them. Credits are like an insurance policy looking towards the future, to ensure as long as the Bank can remain operational, so can you by spending a credit. So one use could be a tech producing nation investing a huge amount of tech before they become a tech buyer. So if hypothetically someone invested 600 tech in the Limitless Bank when it is dirt cheap for them to buy tech, later they can either pull out 300 tech when its worth a lot more to them or on 3 different occasions when their warchest runs out and they need funs; they can suddenly use 1 of their available credits to get money sent to them regardless of their political situation. The Limitless Bank plans to send those who have credits with the bank their money or tech when they use their credits regardless of any wars going on. The bank doesn't care as long as you have at least 1 full credit, then you can get service and funds to pull you out of a bind. So with our basic initial offerings, you can potentially use the bank to save up credits to save your ass many times over or if you want to convert your tech produced at low levels to tech you can use when your tech numbers are much higher. To begin accumulating Credits, which can later be used to get aid or tech when you really need it; send tech to my nation while I have extra slots (although I need to save 3 for the Number Game, so just 1 open available right now.. If you include anything about credits or the limitless bank, I'll know the reason your sending it and will tally up your investment. Which you will then be able to withdraw whenever you need it, such as if you end up bill locked. Here is my nation link http://cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=164581 Once you've invested in Limitless Credits, they are likely to be of great use to you later. Nobody likes to think they are going to be bill locked again in an upcoming war, but if you have a backup plan just in-case you need aid, it can save you from needing to give up on protecting your infra or even needing to cut back on your active assets. Also if purchasing Limitless Credits by investing in the Limitless Bank of the Libertarian Empire, buyers can either choose to have their currently owned Credits shown public or keep them secret & surprise people with them. If people want to transfer Credits they own to someone else, I think this system could be used as a basis for much bigger trades. If someone can purchase something with a Credit or 2 without using any of their outgoing aid slots, then they can just use their slots for the incoming goods if players ever use Limitless Credits to pay for tech or boost alliance growth. *While I am committed to sending out aid requested by Credit Owners regardless of the circumstances and am confident this will never occur, the Limitless Nexus Bank will pay $30,000,000 in damages to the Credit Holder and still allow them to use their Credit at a time agreed on if we fail uphold our commitment.regarding redemption of Credits. III. Nexus Currently as far as websites go, if you sign up at limitlessnexus.com you can share & enjoy uploads from others, including games, videos, literature and images. Expect more later, but the site is still very basic. If you want to sign up and chill, then you are a member of Limitless Nexus. If you want to be a member of the Limitless Nexus AA in CN, then I'll be happy to add more people. If more people want to join, we can discuss which form of government is best and work on a charter together. However as things are now, I am the Sovereign of Limitless Nexus. Since LimitlessNexus.com isn't a CN exclusive site, but is still the Limitless Nexus Headquarters someone can be a member of Limitless Nexus without being a member of Limitless Nexus in CN. The Banking System and Pick a Number Game will both run fine without more members, as I really don't expect more and don't plan to actively recruit new members. http://limitlessnexus.com - Site still in early stages, but I have many more features planned. IV. Conclusion The main point of this isn't recruitment, but to bring attention to the Limitless Bank and see if its something people want. I am hopeful with more help the Limitless Bank can grow into something more and am willing to give gov positions to those who want to take on duties. The goal of the Limitless Bank is help the Libertarian Empire grow large and powerful enough to continue operating the Pick a Number Game and Bank processes without facing any difficulties when rewarding money to nations who have earned it. One day I was growing bored with CN, people always do the same stuff and I was just about ready to quit. Then I realize my nation is huge compared to most and many smaller nations never reach anywhere near the size mine is. I then realized my nation would be best utilized helping others and it would be a waste not to. With the Bank concept I hope it will open new game play avenues for many who choose to take advantage of it. Contact me and together we can figure out the best way you can take advantage of it. Signed, Methrage, Sovereign of Limitless Nexus Update Regarding Limitless Nexus Foreign Affairs As far as treaties go, we have no treaties and embrace soft neutrality.. Although we do consider ourselves to have a defacto ODA?P with Doombird Doomcave & Confederatio Aesir, as well as possibly other alliances we respect. Even if there is no treaty, if an alliance I've been a member for a long time and respect is in a defensive war where they need help, I reserve the right to help them. Also if they Limitless Nexus is not seeking anyone's down fall or want to promote any power clusters over others. Although that doesn't mean I won't help a friend when they need it and circumstances allow. If we do go to war with no treaty commitment to help another alliance, members opposed will be allowed to not participate if they wish to take that route. I have also accepted our first new member, who holds dual citizenship. Upon request we've decided to allow him to stay in his old alliance and join Limitless Nexus. I've decided to allow others who want duel citizenship to have it as well. Being with us doesn't mean you can't also be loyal to your current alliance.

Sephiroth Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) Huh. Interesting. I applaud your initiative, and am eager to see what comes from this. Thanks. Already people are expressing interest in the Credit idea. Many people charge $6m or $9m for 200 tech normally, but with the credit concept sellers can now sell at that same price, but get their profit sent to themselves later when they need it or sent to others on their behalf if they want. Which makes issues of slots and problems with saving wealth for emergencies seem much more distant. Edited May 21, 2014 by Methrage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 I updated the OP regarding Foreign Affairs policy. While we have no treaties, that doesn't mean we will always be completely neutral in conflicts. There are some former alliances I've been in or former allies I would probably still help if they asked for it and I'm not already committed to the other side. If Anarchy Inc, who were good allies to me a long time and I respected, asked for my help when under attack. I would probably help them, alongside Confederio Aesir. DBDC is out of my NS range, but they are another example of who I would be likely to help if it doesn't conflict with something else. Doomsquad who have sold me a lot of tech and is a close ally of DBDC is another alliance I would probably help if they needed it. I will however make sure to the best of my ability involvement in possible future conflicts won't interfere with anyone's ability to redeem Credits they've gotten anytime they wish to. If requests ever become so numerous aid slot capacity becomes the limiting factor in sending out aid for the redemption of Limitless Bank Credits, we will send out the aid in the order we get requests rather than what side we might be on.

Sephiroth Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) So much for quitting. After my nation had already reached 18 days inactivity, I accidentally logged in without even thinking about it after waking up. Since the inactivity timer was reset regardless, I responded to a few PMs and sent out some aid. Then I started thinking about whether I should stay fully decided on quitting or not. I figured if I can help people with my nation, maybe there was still reason to stick around. I decided I just need to play differently than before and do things my own way. Also when I collected taxes and saw how much money had built up when I wasn't active, it added some extra incentive to stay. So I will give admin credit for making it more difficult for people quit when he changed the inactivity rules.

Sephiroth Posted May 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 The limitlessnexus.com site is currently not operational, since I'm making a lot of significant changes. When its working again I plan to have User Profiles, Friends List, Private Messaging, a lot more user connectivity and more types of content which can be shared, among other improvements. I can't give an exact timeline for when it will be done, but I'd like to get the site back up again as soon as possible and it shouldn't take more than a few days maximum. I ideally I want to get it running before I sleep again, but I'll see what I can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the friendly reminder on the rules. I didn't realize that was against the rules when I was posting, but now I know. My intention was to let people know why our base was down for a while and experiencing problems when I discussed it beyond putting the link, but you are right. I will be more cautious to avoid discussing such things in IC forums in the future. The intention of the thread was to reveal Limitless Nexus as a new type of alliance and some of the services we offer to everyone. So I think it is fine here and can stay on track with its intended purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kzoppistan Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) I endorse this endeavor and will lend what ever support I, El Presidente of Kzoppistan, can to those of the Limitless Nexus affiliation. Bringing dynamic alternative economies into this world is an exciting prospect. Before the resource change ability, I often toyed with the idea of creating a Coal Consortium to create a beneficial economic bond between random players. So this is pretty neat.

Sephiroth Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) To celebrate, I've decided to award the first 7 members to join the Limitless Nexus & message me in-game notifying me they are joining, each get a free Libertarian Credit. Which they can redeem for a slot full of free slot of cash from me whenever they want to redeem it, or they could trade their credits to tech sellers if they are larger. To get the free Libertarian Credit, you don't need to actually go on the LImitless Nexus AA. We are an alliance of nation leaders, who may have loyalty towards longtime alliances. Limitless Nexus does favors good relations with all. All wars remain optional if member involvement is due to helping an alliance we hold no treaties with, or if a member is also part of a different alliance. We expect everyone will not want to fight for the same reasons, always at the same times. However together Limitless Nexus works for the benefit of all, especially its members. When important we do what we must. So hurry and sign up at our base & AA, http://limitlessnexus.com/index.php?page=submission&id=8, and http://www.cybernations.net/alliance_display.asp?ID=11780 If enough large nations join willing to help fund it, I think I can implement a program to propel new nations to 4-5k infra within a month of playing, then have Manhattan Project within another. We are a CN wide alliance who seeks to assist newer nations into reaching a stage where they can influence politics while having the finances and weaponry to give power to their voices. Limitless Nexus will revitalize this world from the ground up, starting with giving those who seek to do good the means to do so.

Sephiroth Posted June 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Giving you 200 tech so you can give me 100 tech later? Sign me up. Sure, I have open slots. So you can begin sending the tech now if you want to take advantage. I'll keep a record of everything you send with the intent of being able to withdraw later, so you can receive the benefit whenever you want it later.

John More Dread Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Giving you 200 tech so you can give me 100 tech later? Sign me up. He was sarcastically pointing out that this is a pyramid scheme. Normally, when you "invest" in a "bank", you get MORE than you invested, not less.
