Oh crap, whaddya mean the clinic isn't ready for a hurricane? Nurse! Nurse!

z64555 darts around looking for absentee staff

[NGTM-1R]

My jungle hovel is not equipped for this. Oh dear.

[Patriot]

Oh dear, my munitions are going to get wet.. All that hard laboring for nothing El Presidente!

[FireSpawn]

Proceeds to stand on the pier facing the oncoming hurricane, and drops pants.

Hey Ursala, blow this!

[crizza]

Is there still a place for an oil driller named Crizza?

[Alex Heartnet]

Immediately following the hurricane, cries of “Viva La Revolución!” can be heard near the docks.  The refinery is hit with a hail of bullets, inflicting property damage and a disappointing lack of explosions.  Apparently the Yankee movies shown in the local theater are a lie!

[Gortef]

Great! I bet that people who come to the Cabaré will get perhaps not so pleasantly surprised.

Well, there goes a large chunk of our food supply.  At least the hurricane didn’t wreck our ranches as well, as a brand-new farm or ranch doesn't produce nearly as much food as one that has been operating for a while.  The bunkhouses I don’t really plan on replacing.





The dark hurricane clouds that still hover over the island leaves everything grey and monochrome, except for odd lighting artifacts in building windows and black cars.

Oh, and here’s your new job, Headdie.  Your job experience from working at an oil rig could also be applied to the power plant I don’t plan on building on the island.



Pred the Penguin found a new job.



The Air Quality and Construction Act of 1968 has finally made it through our bureaucratic government.







To stave off an impending food crisis, I build a fisherman’s wharf and another ranch.  To expand our electrical grid, I build a science-y metal object with warning signs all over it.





Of course!  The rebels are fighting to free the furry llamas I have in one of my ranches!  Why did I not see this sooner!

I order the llamas themselves taken to the docks for export, and the ranch in question to raise beef cows instead.



Look who found a new job.



Look at what the first day on the job consists of.





The rebels use a hidden underground tunnel during their approach to the oil refinery, a tunnel that El Presidente didn’t know about and still doesn’t know about.





Wow.  Busy day for news.



Our proud soldiers arrive on the scene to save El Presidente’s new cash cow.

La Revolución seems to be going very poorly for the rebels.  Over half of my army still has yet to arrive, and the rebels are already taking heavy losses.





Most of the rebel army, including Mongoose, gets killed almost single-handedly by Rudo.  The handful of surviving rebels flee back into the jungle.

[Rodo]

I'm confused, that's me?, or just another random person on the island?

[headdie]

One man army in the jungle? I think the spelling should be changed to Rambo

[Alex Heartnet]

I'm confused, that's me?, or just another random person on the island?

Citizens will often decide to switch jobs if there is a open position for a higher-quality job available.  Job quality is determined by wages, the job in question (some jobs are inherently cushier then others), and sometimes other things such as factory upgrades or building work mode.

In this case, my soldiers are being paid much better then my police officers, and the recent hurricane probably killed one or two of my soldiers, leaving a job position open that gets filled quick.  The way I am running the island, I want to make sure that I have a large military willing to protect me at all times 

[NGTM-1R]

Well this rebellion is just going swimmingly.

[Alex Heartnet]

Unskilled rebels can get torn apart by a single skilled soldier.

The opposite is also true - I have seen a small group of 3 rebels with ~20% skill defeat an army of ten recruits.

I've had all my military buildings set to 'Special Ops Training' for a while now 

[BritishShivans]

This is bizarre. I'm being voted for? I want to serve El Presidente, not rule the island!

[Rodo]

So apparently I'm a frikking Rambo... too rudo para estos rebeldes amateurs. 

[NGTM-1R]

Unskilled rebels can get torn apart by a single skilled soldier.

Clearly I need to convince an outside group to provide training and technical assistance. Excuse me, Ambassador! Care to help a revolution down on its luck?

[Mongoose]

Man, I had a good thing going there.  Why'd I join up with those stupid jungle rats?

It seems that there has been a lot of UFO sightings on our island as of late.  I look up in the sky, and sure enough, there is this big flying saucer thing hovering over my palace.

I don’t trust these aliens.  They are violating my airspace.  I would love to be able to put in a network of SAM batteries, but for now I will settle for being able to keep an eye on them…



I don’t trust the superpowers either (who does?).  Think I will spy on them and sell the information to various James Bond villains bent on world domination.



Just in case I ever decide I want an airport on my island…



Scotty!  Your unhappiness is making the rest of my loyal minions unhappy!







I shall upset the communists with my ‘Housing for the Rich’ programme.  Maybe the communists will get so mad that Che Guevara will start exporting revolutionaries to the island.



I have a large chunk of cash now, but a workforce that is too small.  So instead of making yet more buildings, creating yet more jobs in the process that will require immigrants to fill, I will just upgrade existing ones.





Whoa.  Our munitions factory is apparently now a tank factory.

I think I will start selling these tanks on the general market, just for the audacity of providing armored vehicles to the likes of crime syndicates and evil James Bond villians.  So no ‘Restricted Access’ upgrade for the factory.



The palace shall be upgraded, as well.  After all, we clearly need more statues of El Presidente around, so people won’t protest right next to the palace…





Behold!  The end of capitalism!  Stock markets collapsing!  Gold prices soaring!  Bankers tossing themselves off of skyscrapers!



I think I will have to withhold some of my exports.



No, scratch that, I shall be mucho stupido, and withhold ALL of my exports!  Looks like I will be limited to foreign aid and what I already have in my treasury.  This should make things interesting…

[NGTM-1R]

El Presidente builds BTRs and foolishly sells them to foreign powers rather than keeping them to fight off the rebel hordes.

[crizza]

So...
Crizza would still like to join if theres a place as oil men, militarist(factory worker) or radar dish operator.
