[Hello. This is my first IPW, and I hope that it is very successful. In this IPW, you are a wealthy Capitalist in 1890's England. You are in possession of a small factory, and not much else. The goal of the game is to build your industry, your company, and your empire. What your empire produces is for you to decide. Where will your journey through the industrial revolution take you? Will you change the course of history, producing things before they were even thought of in the real world? Or will you crash and burn, as another small broken cog in the industrial machine, forgotten to time and man. Time will tell.]
[I am using small sprites, as this may or may not get complex and I want to be able to churn out turns fast-ish.]

[B]You awake from your nap, sitting in your exquisite wooden desk. You adjust your top hat, as you knocked it about in your sleep. It is dawn, and you can hear the distant crack of thunder. The storm has not yet reached you however. The fireplace flickers and illuminates the room as the rhythm of the ticking clock pierces the silence. Since you have just awoken, you are awfully disoriented. You try to remember your name. What was it again?[/B]
Get on the horn with local businesses ask if they have anyone in their family in need of decent job. Tell them to get their ass over here.
am i doing it right?
[B]That's an awfully long name, it can't be it.[/B]

[I'll let there be multiple responses before I pick one]
James Knight.

[B]James Knight. Your name is James Knight. How could you forget your own name? You need to step off the booze.
Your mind is suddenly flooded with memories of how you came about your fortune. You made a small investment with a Nigerian prince who approached you one day on the streets. You spent all you had, but as the good man promised the profits for you were enormous. You now posses a little more than five million pounds (let's assume that's quite a large amount for the day, but nothing earth shattering).
You stand up from your desk. You feel like touring the factory once more. Or you can investigate the room. After a short thought, you decide to...[/B]

Drink tea, do nothing, love the queen.
Typical brit.
Look over your factory,then go hire some people to begin a tophat factory
Tophats are retarded.
Start making sewing machines :buddy:
Go find some girls to hire and underpay.

NO!
I actually disagree, hire Chinese boys and pay them in cigarette butts and candy.
Create prostitutes and sell them
You can have different flavours and different kinds

Where in the world would we get chinese boys?
America! :buddy:
[QUOTE=SpartanApples;25466909]Where in the world would we get chinese boys?[/QUOTE]
We buy them, or lure them in with rabbit traps with fortune cookies on the end.

^ Made my day.
Find workers, Underpay them, MAKE TANKS.
Find workers, overwork them, underpay them, make bombs, workers get angry and explode your factory.
Hire chickens, make them build the internet.
Actually hire someone though
This is a verrry sllooow IPW
[You're getting ahead a bit. Don't worry, we'll decide what we're going to produce in a few.]
[B]You step out from your office and strut across the cold metal floor of the upper catwalk. You summon the lift and start to descend to the main factory floor.[/B]

[B]You step out and gaze upon the mostly empty space before you. Spider webs line the ceiling. Immediately in front of you is a decrepit, but still running, steam engine. You've decided you will use this to power the factory and the assembly. Across from that, three crates are stacked on top of each-other, containing spare parts, lubrication for the machines, scrap metal, and other things such as gunpowder. At the end of the line is a door leading to the main road, through which your shipments and supplies will come and leave.[/B]
[B]You have a single action revolver under your coat, a pack of cigars, and five million quid in the bank.[/B]
[B]You know that you need to begin production soon, but you have not yet decided what to produce. You have heard by word of mouth that current large markets are WEAPONS, TOPHATTERY, and STEAM TECHNOLOGY. You do not have a large enough factory for anything but small and medium sized items. You may also take your business venture elsewhere, to a smaller market that may be great in the near future.[/B]
[B]You have no workers. You decide to fix this soon. However, you must first decide what you will be making.[/B]
[b]What is your next action?[/B]

I was asleep, I should be up for quite a bit now though.
Guns that can fit in tophats?
[B]Surely such a thing is too great a power to be reckoned with. You want to make millions, not destroy the whole damned empire![/B]
Bacon sausage, sausage made of bacon
War boots; uniforms; Military material/stuff.
I think that top hats are the way forward (+illegal weed on the side (being serious))
