Alright so Trext, thanks for applying. Good app. I'd be more than happy to have you.
Otherwise, I'm pretty disappointed... this took me a good bit of time to do, and I know at least a few people who said they were interested in this sort of closed-economy. At least, more than the response I got.
Before I get it going (or bury it), I'd be kicking myself if I didn't try another time to see if anyone is interested.
Talk to me if you have any questions or anything. I appreciate the look.

My name's Grizzly. Don't know no other name and aint needed none.
I done your apple'cake thingy to join up. When you done your whatevers and is ready to talk, I'll be in the bar on Bethlehem. Just ask the barkeep for Grizz, he knows me.
You might want to have another think about gear sonny, 'cause when they come a hunting after ya, you might want better than squirrel guns n tyre irons to beat 'em off with, a 12 gauge surely gets folks attention. You may wanna think about goin off an getting summat big enough to scare the cr*p outta 'em n make 'em think twice about messin with ya.
I'd be interested, except for the fact that you KNOW that you're going to get absolutely creamed by the Liberty law(l)fuls in their LABC's and such as long as you're restricted to technology used in Pennsylvania.

The applicants were there, just as they said they'd be. The men skipped the handshakes and formalities and got straight to ordering their drinks. The ensuing talk at the bar was long and productive.
"Grizz" is a tough 50-something miner with a chip on his shoulder for the big-time mining and shipping corps.
"I was born aboard an independent mining ship owned and worked by my parents in the Hallam Nebula. Dad died in a mining accident accident. Mom tried to run the ship without him, but ended up working herself to an early death. I must a bin about 14 or so then and I took over the ship and mined ever since. Never did find out what my real name is, so I just uses the name I earned with my fists. I aint never been rich, but I made enough for a good bender now n then. Leastwise 'till them there scuzzy company men moved in. Called theirselves miners, Hah! Trouble is there's so many of them locusts that they'se driven me out of business, or near to. All I got left is my CSV and a bit of stake money."
His buddy Domingo is a bit younger and has a good deal more fire in him.
"Yea....Im a Loader. I load and unload cargo on Bethlehem station. Out of work as of late....Due to layoffs. Dont know who to blame. But I do know something has got to change. And as I see it..people have been crappin on Penn for to long. Me, Im just one guy, a guy who is out of work, no money to buy beer or Synth. Sleeping in between cargo containers in the back part of the Space dock. You see and hear alot on the docks and from what I can tell...The game was rigged against us from the start....Time to do something. "
Dave Lancaster is relieved to have found such men willing to pick up the cause with him.
"I'll be in touch with you two soon. After I sleep off these drinks."
