Ladies and Gentlemen, As you may have been informed, in the wake of the end of Pontvert Incorporation's fall, I have intention to set up a new lumber company, named as the Societe Sitroux, in September/October later this year. It will be the same as Pontvert Incorporation and will work similarly, but hopefully more efficiently. Many of you have expressed an interest in donating money for it to be set up and started. I have build three phases that the Societe must get through before opening: Phase 1: Donations Phase 2: Building up Pontbouleau Phase 3: Collecting materials Phase 4: Building up the Main Store We're currently in operation of Phases 1, 2 and 3. Pontbouleau will need at least one of its quarters to be built before we can begin to build up the Main Store, and we need generous donors if we would like to have an easily-accessible store. Money can be donated either directly through me or otherwise through our collection sign outside the formerly-Pontvert-owned Store of France. Once we receive your money, with great thanks, we will proceed to donate it to three causes: Societe Sitroux 16.67% of money that is donated will go to the Societe's start up costs, including supplies, maintenance costs, etc. We are looking for ideally $30,000 for the Societe Sitroux. Pontbouleau 55.56% of money that is donated will go to Pontbouleau, the liberal town adjacent to Cookietown. The Societe's Headquarters and Universal Store will be based in Pontbouleau, so money raised will go to building the town, obtaining a town portal, improving transportation services and gaining an active community. We will be looking for players interested in owning stores and houses for low prices and low tax later this year. We are looking for ideally $100,000 for the construction of Pontbouleau. Cookietown As a thank you gift for hosting Pontvert's old headquarters and allowing for its success, as well as for hosting the earlier part of this Donation Campaign, we are looking to donate 27.78% of the money obtained to Cookietown and its Mayor. The funds will go towards a town warp and the construction of Mudkiqo_o's second town. It is essential for Cookietown to boom as the Societe will heavily rely on both the economy of Cookietown, and if its economy is rewarded with money, we can expect a boost in Pontbouleau's economy and thus a boost in the Societe. We are looking for $50,000 to be donated towards Cookietown. We will be grateful for any funds donated. But there are still other ways you can help asides donating money. You can also pick up an axe and start woodcutting yourself. The Societe Sitroux will rely a lot on woodcutters, and most of our wood will be sourced from the ECC population, as there will be a 'Selling Quarter' in the Main Store, where players can sell their wood to the Societe. We will also be buying large stocks of stone and stone bricks at $10 per stack, so please feel free to catch me and sell! Thank you for your time, Matberry Future Founder of the Societe Sitroux.
I guess I just don't really get why Pontvert fell. I read the stuff you put a few days ago, and I don't see why you just can't start it up again.
Ladies and Gentlemen, we can announce that we have received a total of $0.00 from our campaigns. This is a major setback for starting the Societe, and it will be much harder to start it up again. NEVERTHELESS, please feel free to continue to donate. We request that you now donate either directly through me or to the donation sign in front of Pontvert's Store of France. Any donations are welcome, as we do need much more money to start up the Societe.
We lost many of our old plots, and I would think it a little more reasonable to simply start from square one.
You need to advertise in-game And keep stuff active. After you made your post saying you were starting back up I saw zero news proving that you hadn't just dropped off the planet
If I had cash, I'd donate. Pontvert supplied wood for the model homes in my town Lassendas, and to see it fall put a tear in my eye. I'm farming as of now, and I will donate everything I have of value to get my favorite company back.
I left with a bit of urgency, and sort of hoped that this post would at least get the attention of one person. Seems like nobody even saw it. It's great to hear that your town needed Pontvert Inc. when it was being built, and we'll guarantee the same service - if not better - with the Societe Sitroux. NEWS: Work has already begun on the layout of the Nouvelle Rue Sitroux in the Centre-Ville District of Pontbouleau, where the company's headquarters will be situated. Approximately 1/8th of the town's layout has been completed, and we need at least 5/8 of the town to be fully built up before we can even begin thinking about building the company's HQ. If we aren't able to open the store by mid-October, we'll have a temporary main store in our 15x15 located in France, Store of France. Visitors wanting to see how the work is progressing may do so: please go into Cookietown (warp 5) and work your way west. The original plans for Pontbouleau are in the north-eastern corner of the town (predominantly St Christine), please note that this area will be completely erased and replaced by the new plans for Pontbouleau, starting in the south-eastern corner of the town. Two typical Pontbouleausian buildings have already been constructed - please note that they're only drafts, and will in fact be completely changed. So what can we expect from the Societe's Headquarters? Well, the Headquarters of the Societe will be on the ground floor in a 52x24 area, and above will be the Mayor's Hall, where the Mayor of Pontbouleau (if everything goes to plan, that'll me) will reside. Directly in front of the Headquarters will be the Boulevard Sitroux, which will make the 60-block journey to the Town Portal with a clear view of the Place Pontbouleau, the 40x40 open ground which marks the exact centre of Pontbouleau. To enhance transportation, there will be an underground station just twelve blocks away from the Headquarters that connects the Headquarters to the four districts of Pontbouleau. The Headquarters will be situated in a place that it is inevitable for those walking out to pass, as the Palais de la Justice, one of the District Halls and the Seat of the First Council are close nearby. That's all that I'll be giving away for now, more will be announced later on. We currently need nether bricks and stone bricks for the construction of Pontbouleau, we'll be paying for stacks. Once we begin construction of the Headquarters itself, we'll need quite a bit of sandstone. And remember to keep woodcutting, because we'll be paying for your wood when we open!
NEWS: Made a pleasant discovery today, that of finding chestfuls of logs in the old Pontvert farms that can only make the Societe commence operations earlier than at first expected. We probably won't be able to keep our 50x50 in Cookietown, where our farm was located, due to a town renewal scheme, but it just goes to show how employing people really can help boost your company's operations!
