After our extremely successful merge with Synergia, we at Kronos have decided to adopt their unique trade swapping methods. The idea is simple, and its outcome is fantastic.

• You MUST check your nation at least once daily, if not more
• This is for aqua nations only
• You accept any trade invitations within 24 hours, and must cancel no earlier than 48 hours after the original offer
• Once you have finished with a trade, (i.e. you've paid your significantly lower bills) then you must cancel
• If you miss out on two or more swap requests, you will be removed from the program
• You profit

So if you're an aqua nation, and you're looking for a reliable, profitable and simple method for constantly and consistently trade swapping, then Kippa is your woman!

I look forward to seeing you soon!


Porkers - Harbinger of Prosperity

Kippa's knowledge and efficiency is beyond question - a fantastic addition to our alliance!

o/ Kronos!
o/ Keeping the good things!
o/ me for posting!

This is as sexy as... well, as sexy as Kronos. So that's a lot.

I find myself sceptical that this venture into the free market will actually work better than than controlled market of trade circles, but in any case, good luck.

nice idea Kronos

I see potential for failure here: what happens if people decide to interfere in it, or if younger nations offer a trade to a nation involved? How does this system work to prevent issues such as that?

A wonderful idea though that will work in 99.9% of cases.

I profit an extra $2m+ per day from trade swapping compared to my previous 3BR+F+U that's considered the best all around TC in the game...

Good luck with this endeavor, trade swapping for bill payment and collecting is something I have considered a number of times in the past. I believe with the right management this could result in a massive economic boost for the nations involved.* It can leave an alliance in a vulnerable position in the event of a sudden war.

*edit

And can you do reasonable sleds with this method? (ie. exceeding 10 days)

I do 20 day sleds and haven't had problems, but it's always possible that something will go wrong. Luckily the extra 5 day cushion is built in and if you don't like risk you can always lower it to 10 or 15.

keep in mind you'll have to go past me to get to her >.>

I can't wait to see if we can make this thing work.

bah, I'll just say we rule...

Heh, you guys beat me to the punch, although I was planning to keep my implementation within MK...

Brilliant! Brilliant!!!!!!!

As long as each nation is active every day, and they follow the instructions set, and managed by Kippa then everything will remained controlled and everything should flow finely.





As far as I know, it's controlled enough to prevent one from accepting a trade from an unknown. You should know who to expect a trade offer from, and you'll know who to offer. If you're unsure as to whether to accept a trade, it'll be easy enough to either message Kippa or check the roster.

No reason we can't further promoted Aquaholicism by joining efforts

Makes sense to me.

Good luck with this guys

There will be a list of nations participating so it will be difficult for outsidersw to interfere.

This is awesome.

Lets just hope Kippa doesn't go inactive.

Best of luck with this. I hope it works out well.

Since ive started swapping im netting an extra 60+ mil over a 20 day period.

I was a skeptic once, but I have found the truth that is Swapping.

Since I started taking....
....
!

TEH TRUTH.

I can't wait to see this succeed.

It's so simple it just may work! If I wasn't committed to my solid trade ring, I'd jump in it. I've already posted a link for our nations who don't have full rings to check it out.

Best of luck with this.

i was just discussing this with a friend the other day; i'm very excited to see how this pans out! it could be very profitable if kept alive. i have one question though: what will happen in war? many resources have military efficiency benefits and those could not be constantly available to all nations at war anytime they are about to be attacked.... that would be my main concern if you tend to trade with other alliances that would be in war with yours.

This is a new program, and this will certainly need to be addressed, ideally now rather than when a war breaks out. As with tech trading, I would imagine a temp trading program will get a little crazy during a war - especially if there were aqua on aqua wars going on.

You guys rock. I hope this works out for you.

This has great potential, but the complications that will undoubtedly arise during a war makes me wonder how long this will work. I watch on with interest.

Soooo

I only wish I was not so lazy

I demand you accept me into this program D:

This is so awesome.

Hail Kronos, pushing the borders of nation building to a new level!

Why would you tell people about something that they could never figure out how to do on their own? Sheesh. Pretty soon your stats will be worthless, Kronos, and then what good would anyone have with you?

I would love to try this but I like my steady Spartan-based trade circle and have no plans to abandon it. But if one of them ever does, I will have to give this a shot.

Glad to see we've got some movers and shakers.

Don't do it, I heard Kronos look like dorks.

If I wasn't on blue and in a trade circle, I'd definitely check this out.

#AquaTrades has been established on Coldfront for all participants

We have Trade Swapping running successfully on IRON boards for months, Thanks to DAWN *Hugz Golan + Frannie*. Its returns are much better than any stable trade circle. Only challenge is you need to be active.

I thought about this a long time ago when I first got here, but decided it would be too much of a hassle to run and keep track of because I'm a very lazy person. If you guys actually have a mystical being willing to run this, then it will be pretty amazing. I look forward to seeing how this works out, and I wish you luck.

Don't betray Kronos, Umbrella!

Activity, becomes efficiency, and efficiency.. well, that is the start of a good alliance.

Good luck Kronos, if this works out I may ask if you can help us implement a similar system.

I guess you don't have the efficiency so i guess you don't have the start of a good alliance if you need help from someone else's idea.

Incase it got lost on the previous page, #AquaTrades has been setup on Coldfront for coordinating and questions. Feel free to set it up on your ajoin list.

Having been with this program since not long after it's inception (and having suggested this be announced a while ago), I must say a definite OH YES. hopefully the new system will hammer out the bugs, and this can become a big thing.


of course, if you make a trade swap for military bonuses, it can also help out a lot during a war (especially a small one)

As for fear of losing an existing trade circle: get the circle to join. If it doesn't pan out, you can always go back then, but honestly, full trade circles, especially if its on both sides, makes this much easier.

Sad, but all too true. :-(

Always knew this method needed adopting by all alliances. A great start. Kronos will grow a lot from this method.
