Message from Simulation Organiser
in view of progress we have decided to Freeze the Simulation as of 1130, instead of 1200 as previously announced.
You will now have from 1130 to 1330 to prepare our debrief presentations, which will then start.
I will give a short explanation at 1130 of what is needed in the debriefs.
Best Wishes: Donal O'Neill
Dwarf Rhinos in Trouble
Both Cromwell and Nosferatu are in negotiations with the government regarding operations. No decisions have been made other than the decision of the pipeline location, which is to be in the Endur Valley.
This will inevitably lead to deforestation and extinction of the Dwarf Rhino. Why is the gov not proposing new routes??
The Protector: Rhinos Wrecking Havoc
Gov Claims Corruption
They claim that he has been connected to illegal logging activities, the murder of Mr. Miyarnu, and an attempt to kill the president.
The Protector: Enweh prepared for War
"The Enweh people will no longer passively sit and wait for corrupt government officials to figure out new ways to ruin the lives on their constituents. We are barricading our village from the outside world and blocking access to Block 77. We are prepared to do whatever is necessary to support the Enweh village’s ability to take care of its people, who are dying every day and are in dire need of health supplies and agricultural development.
We are prepared to use whatever means necessary to have our voice heard. "
Government Agreement with Shared Heritage
The U.S. and UK governments that have been watching the deteriorating economic condition of the area has entrusted Share Heritage with a substantial fund to start a large scale development program. To this end, we reached out to the Enweh villagers, local government, and the industry in order to create a holistic program that would have sustainable results.
Shared Heritage had a successful meeting with the new government which has agreed to work closely with us in building the infrastructure for the local community.
UPDATE
The logging industry accounts for well over 10% of Concordia’s GNP. If boycotts on exports were to happen, combined with declining production of diamonds & cocoa (despite government claims), the government would be in deep trouble – they are desperate to secure an oil deal, but playing like they have all the power.
Elections?
BREAKING NEWS
To make this information available to the international community, the event will be held in New York City
NGO meeting with new administration - WORLD WATCHING
In a meeting with ANGO, OBI, CDUL, and the new administration, the government agreed to the following:
· Transparency – all NGOs are welcome to attend meetings between the government and Cromwell/Nosferatu
· Revenue allocation of approximately $600M for education, economic development, and health
· Disclose terms of contractual agreements
Britain and the international community are cautiously watching to see if the new administration follows in the footsteps of the former administration or honor its promise.
Enweh wants a VOICE
Script from Gov/Cromwell/Nosferatu Negotiations
Gov: Windfall tax is fair and will help people of Concordia.
Cromwell: We haven’t gotten past the Windfall tax.
Nosferatu: 80% gov tax, 100% Nosferatu control of oil, 50/50 split, Cromwell not in picture, pipeline through Endur Valley
Cromwell: Windfall tax - $80/bbl + incremental increase, no refinery, gas treatment for fertilizer sustainability, pipeline through Endur Valley, Nosferatu not in picture, OBI to broker financing 50/50 gov/cromwell,
Gov: long term needs: economic, political, development stability for long-term growth. We need a pipeline and a refinery. Need assistance with financing.
OBI:
Cromwell: Serious question as to the economic viability for a refinery. If we give gov a loan for a refinery, and the refinery isn’t profitable, we won’t get our money back.
Gov: WE need a refinery for energy independence. Infrastructure in city. Thousands of jobs.
Protect the Endor Valley
Shared Heritage is concerned about the environmental repercussions of placing the pipelines along the Endor Valley. This will lead to the extinction of the Dwarf Rhino and facilitate illegal logging. This is more reason for Cromwell to step forth with its pipeline plans to avoid the destruction of the environment.
Shared Heritage is also reaching out to the people of Enweh and the government for their cooperation in this planning process.
The Mentor: The world this hour
The Washington Patriot: Lester McCoy reporting
Emweh villagers have reported there was an explosion in Block 77. They have also indicated that there has been a recent outbreak of malaria in the village. These developments lend credence to the recent concerns voiced by the people as published earlier this morning in the Mentor.
Explosion at Block 77 and a child with malaria.
Ethical standards: our first value!
"We are disappointed that some investors still believe in false accusations perpetrated by the press", said Cromwell's Chairman this morning during a meeting with Friends of the Dwarf Rhino.

Ethical Investor sheds Cromwell Stock
=========================================
Announcing its decision to divest its Cromwell Stock, the Ethical Investment Mutual Fund "Green Accumulation" spokesperson Beth Imker, stated yesterday: "we take this step more in sorrow than in anger. We've held Cromwell stock for several years because we were impressed by their ethical stance. Our doubts about them started with their repudiation of the impact assessment prepared for them by Odiham Associates for their development in Discordia. Recent revelations in The Protector, and by Wikidrain, that Cromwell's plans for Discordia may unwittingly, and carelessly, be opening up the Endor valley to illegal logging, is the last straw. We're selling off."
Cromwell shares closed at 376 and it is rumored that the "Green Accumulation" holding, possibly as much as 1% of total stock, was purchased by a mystery buyer whom many identify as Nosferatu.
The Protector: Breaking News- Rebellion Government is Forming
Breaking News
The former Chief Negotiator and former Defense Minister's relationship has been exposed.
In an effort to promote a transparent government, both of them have been removed from power and are currently on the run from the government.
This is them pictured during the workday spending government dollars.
The Defense Minister is hiding behind a mask in this picture to avoid detection.
Government of Concordia: Be Aware of What's Happening in the Timber Industry!
Furthermore, the Fifth Infantry Batallion, whom Cromwell plans to hire for security at Block 77, has been tied to illegal logging operations.
Because Concordia so heavily relies on the timber industry – shouldn’t the government intervene.

Dear Sir:
I am a UK-based supplier of high quality furniture, sourced from two factories owed by myself and my partner and located in the Caribbean. I am interested in securing a reliable supply of furniture-grade West African hardwood at reasonable prices. My annual requirement is approximately 125 tons and a competitive price is essential. The source of your wood will be important to me as I am interested only in sawn tropical hardwood of high-medium to high-high grade. Please also indicate where you are based.
Yours faithfully: E. Litmo

Dear Mr(?) Litmo:
Sovereign Exotic Woods is based in Macao and sources timber of the quality you require from a number of countries in West Africa and elsewhere. Depending on your requirements full documentation can be provided as regards sourcing. As you are no doubt aware documentation requirements are less stringent for importation of sawn timber to Caribbean nations than were the same material to be exported directly to Europe or North America. I understand that you export only finished furniture, and not undressed timber, to the UK or elsewhere. Please be assured that Sovereign Exotic Woods can satisfy any requirements you may have.

Dear Mr. Redruff:
Please indicate your main sources of supply. Also provide information on any ethical timber-sourcing accreditations your company may have and whether you are a member of any international or national timber-trade federations or organisations which set standards for responsible sourcing. Please also provide information on your main countries of supply.

Dear Edgar:
Sovereign sources from a range of countries in West Africa and South-East Asia. If you have a preference for a specific source or quality, this can usually be accommodated. Have you any specific requirements? In all cases necessary documentation and certification of origin sufficient for importation to the UK can be provided. Documents for importation elsewhere can also be provided though of course you will understand that extra costs may be involved for this. Sovereign is not a member of any organization of the type you specify but does of course operate to the highest standards of ethical and sustainable sourcing.

Dear Jeremy:
My company has a particular requirement for high-high quality sawn timber from Discordia as customers for our finished products rate highly the colour and close grain of such timber and as it has achieved a scarcity value hen supplies were cut off during the recent Civil War. As the market will stand a significant premium for the even more subtle colours associated with exotic hardwoods from Discordia please indicate if any timber can be obtained from this source. My company is in particularly interested in Robur Oak, of which we understand the last significant reserves exist in Discordia‘s Endor Valley.
Yours faithfully: Edgar

Dear Edgar:
On the attachment to this message you will find a price list for hardwood timber, including Robur Oak, sourced from Discordia, with appropriate discounts for volume and for any level of documentation and certification you require. Sovereign can supply highest quality exotic hardwood from Discordia, depending on your requirements, at rates that at present will be 10-15% lower, depending on volume and quality, than for comparable woods form South-East Asia. We have reason to believe however that costs will fall even further in the near future as new access and export routes are opened in Discordia. In this case Sovereign will give preference to supplying its existing customers. Sovereign has good relations with suppliers and authorities in Discordia and is well placed to satisfy all demands.

Dear Jeremy:
Should high-grade Thibaw teak be available the my annual requirement could be as much as 200 tons and several business associates of mine could be interested in similar quantities, bringing aggregate annual requirement above 1000 tons. A long-term supply deal could be of interest, primarily for Robur Oak, and would be dependent on secure supply undertakings. Please indicate your reasons for stating that increased supplies from Discordia are likely in near future as I understand that current road links do not permit significant logging on year-round basis.

Dear Edgar:
Our agents in Discordia inform us that the British oil company Cromwell Energy has a signed undertaking with the Discordian Government to construct a road and pipeline through Discordia’s Endor Valley in the next two years. This region is, as you know, rich in Robur Oak forests which until now have been difficult to access. Once the Cromwell corridor is in place access tracks can be run off it easily to reach these reserves. Our associates in Discordia are well placed to source the necessary labor and funding to initiate large-scale logging in these areas. Credible documentary evidence of sustainable sourcing will be provided to whatever level is required. At this stage a meeting to discuss next steps would be appropriate. Please let me know where would be convenient.
Best Wishes: Jeremy

Cromwell's Mystery Buyer Revealed?
================================
"The recent report in Discordia/Concordia's Gladstone Guardian newspaper that the mystery buyer of Cromwell stock may be Nosferatu sounds credible," said veteran analyst Michaela Robinson yesterday. "If true it means that Nosferatu may have much as 15% of teh stock and may be contemplating a takeover."
Amid rumors of stalled negotiations between Cromwell and the Discordian Government for development of Block 22, and reports of serious security concerns in the area of the block, including disappearance of a vocal critic of Cromwell, Cromwell's stock has fallen back to 379.
"Cromwell remains a juicy acquisition target," says respected analyst Silas Grimshawe. "They have good producing assets an excellent technology. Their operaitng costs could be cut significantly if their gold-plated standards were reduced, thereby boosting profitability. I'm not surprised that Nosferatu may be sniffing around them>"
Concordia Succession Plan
Although the President is in a fantastic health condition, and fully committed to leading the country of Concordia, a succession plan has already been develop to ensure the long term peace of the country.
Should anything happen to the President of Concordia, the Vice-President will immediately lead the country.
The entire government, including GDA and North West Alliance, are in support of this plan.
Is this progress?
Gas flaring behind villager
A village water source turned to black
No fish to be found in this oil marred pond
Is this 2008 or the Industrial Revolution? Should children be exposed to such dangerous conditions?
Stop Cromwell Oil from ruining Dis/Concordia in its pursuit of greed. Development can be sustainable and eco-friendly.
