Make The Dunes Great Again
#1
So everyone has been asking: "Croc, baby... You're the baddest cat around and I want to have your babies, but how exactly are you gonna make the Dunes great again? What exactly does that mean, anyway?"

Well, first off: I know I'm sexy. You can stop flattering me now. Secondly, I have a 4 phase plan to bring new wealth into the Dunes and make it truly independent of Imperial influence, while leaving its current history and charm intact. See, once the Dunes was the richest Verse in the OV. So rich, in fact, that the Empire literally strip-mined it to its current state. And while some of you might think returning the Dunes to its savannah-like roots is my plan, nothing could be further from the truth. In order to make the Dunes truly great, it needs to be the way it is now. It needs its beautiful sunsets over the sands and its plethora of exotic desert creatures. It needs its mystery and and forgotten ruins. The only things that need to change is the lawlessness and threat of the Empire.

So, I'ma lay it out for ya. Step by step, so even the simplest of ya can keep up.

Phase 1: We gotta do something bout these bandits, bruh. Plain and simple. It's simply too dangerous in the Dunes to make anyone but the most foolhardy peeps come this way. We need the wealthy and affluent to spend their OM here. But I'm not talking about killing them all off. No no. I ain't even trying to put em in prison. I got a better idea. See, all we gotta do is make it more lucrative to work for US than to steal from peeps. Sure, we're gonna hafta beat down some fools early on, and maybe some of the obstinate groups will need to be eradicated. But we gonna give these guys a job. And that's where Phase 2 comes in.

Phase 2: With it being safer in the Dunes, now we work on making folks WANT to come here. How, you ask? Simple. We make the Dunes into a tourist trap. It all starts with restoring Ganon's Keep and turning it into a casino. The highest class casino in the Omniverse. We have our former bandits run the tables, obviously. They know how to swindle a sucker. Maybe we even gather up them Gerudo chicks and set them out as waitresses. Nothing says "I'm too drunk to realize I'm losing all my money" more than a set of sun-darkened titties pushing a twelfth margarita into your hand. But that's just the beginning. Soon, we start offering guided tours of the desert, treasure hunts in various ruins, safari hikes to hunt dangerous desert creatures, menageries of exotic animals, and even sponsored Void trips to Omni by peeps who've done the Endless Dunes Void Quest (I'm looking at YOU, Enel.) With all this wealth pouring into the Dunes, the Empire is gonna start wanting a cut too. And that's where we start Phase 3. (Bonus goal in this phase: Capture and tame Jhen Mohran, a threefold benefit which makes the Void Gate safer, gives us a new attraction, and is a trump card in case some unsavory folks start to knocking).

Phase 3: Ideally, this is the most violent phase of the whole thing. It'd be better if we could pull this off without any actual bloodshed, but the Empire ain't known for letting go of the things it considers their's. Here's the deal: as long as Carrefore is there, the Dunes will remain under the constant threat of Imperial takeover. This will become blatantly apparent if they so much as smell that there's any sort of value in the Dunes. So, we gotta get rid of that threat. We push the Empire out of the Dunes, and make Carrefore into a base to repulse any invasions Palpatine might send our way. This will be the most difficult phase of the whole plan, but also the shortest. Unfortunately, this is also the phase where any other parties in the Dunes will need to either get on board with the program, or be repulsed. I'm a pretty lenient guy. You do your thing, s'long as it doesn't interfere with my plans. But, if you get in the way of the beautiful resurrection of this Verse, I will bury you in a pile of giant lizard poop on a cold desert night.

Phase 4: Franchising, baby! We start putting tourist attractions in ALL the Verses. "Ser Croc's Whack a Zombie" in the Moors. "Enel's Electric Beach Party" in the Deeps. "(Insert Name Here)'s Winter Wonderland" in the Fields. Once the Dunes have become wealthy, it's time to spread that around to everywhere else. At a marginal cut of the profits, of course. 


Now, for this plan to work, I need all parties in the Dunes to be on board and working TOWARDS this goal. I don't need New New Babe's off sponsoring bandits while I'm trying to rehabilitate them. I don't need Cirno tearing down Gilgamesh's palace (which, by the way, would be a cash cow trap) while I'm working to make Nippur into a fantastic vacation destination. We gotta get together and work together. Like I said above, so long as you're on board and ain't interfering, you do you, baby. Obviously, I'd prefer your organization to merge into this wholesale, but I can deal with ya so long as you ain't cribbing on my style. Which means two things. First: Don't you be putting any competition to my business operations anywhere near the Dunes, capiche? Second: don't do nothing that hinders my business. So long as you don't do those two things, you're welcome to come enjoy the new grandeur of what will be known as the "Golden Sands" when I'm done with it.

Oh. Since I forgot to mention it above, the name of this grand scheme is: "MEGA" or "Make (the) Endless (dunes) Great Again!"

2 more things I forgot.

1st: During Phase 2, we'll need to promote the brand name. This will mostly involve doing large site events and getting our name out there. No one wants to go to some no-name's tourist trap. But the Dante's Abyss Winner's Casino? Well, that's something that'll turn some heads.

2nd: Also during Phase 2, we'll need to gather as many Artifacts as we can. Multiple reasons. First, they provide us with an advantage when someone (probably the Empire) tries to take what's ours. Second: intimidation. No one wants to mess with a guy with the power of the sun in the palm of his hands, ya feel? Having a few Artifacts under our belts is like having the Nuclear Option. No better deterrent. 3: The Power and Prestige. Artifact holders are always at the forefront of News and the more you have, the more people will know who you are.

If I may speak for New Babylon, and I believe I may, we have no qualms with this plan you have laid out and in many ways it compliments our own goals for the Giant Sandbox. I believe some level of cooperation could be fashioned between our two states to ensure the prosperity of the zone. So long as New Babylon is left to govern its own state and our own designs of expansion are not infringed upon, we will, likewise, not infringe upon yours. Consider this a formal OOC agreement of non hostility unless the perimeters of your planning changes.  *Boom* Baby.

Sounds copacetic, kimosabe. Just don't be surprised when I start running tours of the place, ya dig? Don't worry, I'ma cut you guys in on the profits. There's just a lot of money to make in "Gold House" Tours.

Shouldn't be a problem so long as communication is held at a high priority. Once we've resettled in Nippur, we're going to want to know about the going ons in the city, but obviously any growth and prosperity will be welcomed.

Wouldn't mind doin' somethin' about those damn bandits. Life's hard enough in the Dunes without the scum of the earth stealin' all our supplies and raidin' our homes. Plus, there ain't nothin' wrong with some drinkin' and gamblin' ... in moderation, of course.

As for forcin' out the Empire ... I'm not so sure. Might need to mull on that for a bit. But it's in your favour that they already remind me of the Dominion under Mengsk. Organisations like that are never happy with what they have. Reckon it'll only be a matter of time before they're knockin' on my door. Still, I'll chew on it.

I can't say much for the rest of it, but I am a big supporter of phase 1,. I've had some run in with those damn bandits now and then and a little pay back wouldn't hurt.

Ya need someone to crack skulls or eradicate a group or two? I'm in.
