This has continuing utility while the others ones do not. Although I think guard duty could be interesting socially, if anyone wants to push for that.

It also costs 8 XP, so it's not really a benefit over purchasing it normally. I think we all want jet engines though, so we might as well show off a little!
 
[x] I plan to offer my services as a guard to a trade caravan that way.

Just to be contrary.

Why don't we have the jet engines anyway? They were 4/5ths of the exp vote.

Once we get started on changing society everyone should keep in mind that it is better to do it right then to do it quick. I do not think we are dieing of old age.

"I plan to get these turbines working and fly there." Is your response.

He just looks at your turbines skeptically.

Figuring out how to get the turbines working takes the better part of the day, and you wind up turning in for the night up in your safehouse. You go to sleep after once again reading the key declarations of the American and French Revolutions. You materialize before going to sleep.

The next morning sees you zooming through the air. You love flying.

Still, Terek isn't far by your standards. It's only about an hour commute. You follow a road to a town and set down at the outskirts, outside the town walls. Walking up to the walls, you greet the guards. Their response is expected.

"Halt! Identify yourself!"

"I am Collected Perspective Accord! Am I in the Kingdom of Terek?

"You are. What are your intentions!"

"I wish to settle in the capital! Which way is it?"

There is a moment of discussion between the guards, before they point you in the direction of the capital city, also named Terek. A few minutes later you once again set down in front of the walls.

Now you have to figure out what your intentions are for yourself. Obviously you're going to become a contributing member of this society, but how?

[] Invent the printing press and start a newspaper business.
[] Invent the printing press and write a book on the social contract.
[] Invent the Bessemer Process and deal in steel.
[] Become an Artisan, making useful items.
[] Become a Merchant, moving useful items to those who need them.
[] Engage in arbitrage, using your vast speed to make a profit off of price differences in markets separated by long distance.
[] Some other way? (Write in)

One Hour Vote Moratorium. Because this is another important vote.
 
Seed money first. Be it by craft or trade.

And while we're earning those funds, try and determine if there are actually enough people able to read for a newspaper to be viable.

I want to do this, but we need to become more established first to handle any blowback.

However we need to establish literacy levels before we go about writing anything. If the literacy levels are low then we should write practical useful books to try and bring them up and rent out our printing press to others doing the same.

Advancing two agendas here. Make money, and up the tech level slightly.

Not sure if I want to empower the kingdom that much until we have a better read on its social structures.

Then again it will take time to introduce steel we might want to get started early.
