  1. Tremendous appreciation to all of those responsible for this unified forum! In celebration, the bakers of Bloxhelm have developed a delicious new treat, available to all who visit: The Triple Rose Delight cupcake
  2. As an ex-Legionnaire and long-ago ORPPLE Exchange member, I am deeply saddened to see this come to pass. Flags shall fly at half-mast all over Bloxhelm this day, in bereavement at the death of a true symbol of friendship.
  3. Huzzah! Congratulations to the new Dame and Knights of the Order of the Black Rose. May you all serve with grace and honor.
  4. Congratulations on the formation of your alliance. I must admit to a point of confusion, however. Your posted charter says That seems contradictory. Tech Raiding is condoned ("to overlook or forgive an offence or wrongdoing") and no form of aggression will be conducted? Perhaps you mean that Tech Raiding is condemned?
  5. If this deal is to be completed within the next few days, I would like to be a Seller. Sparqs of Bloxhelm
  6. Offer for standard Tech Deal sent.
  7. Yes, it's against the rules.
  8. $3 Million in Foreign Aid submitted to PingPong. ~Sparqs
  9. Congratulations to The Legion on their 3rd Anniversary! If someone has some cake, er... sorry... caek, I brought some special Bloxhellion Birthday Candles:
  10. While determining whether I should decommission my navy after falling under the land limit, I read the About Navy section, where it says As written, with "Naval Attack operations" called out, the limit exception would seem to refer specifically to Naval Attack, as opposed to Blockades or Battle Support. Thus my reading is that once a nation falls below 1,000 land, it can not be the target of Blockades or Battle Support, even if it still has naval vessels. However, despite being under 800 land, today I was the target of a Blockade, presumable because I have some non-blockade breaking vessels left. http://www.cybernations.net/message.asp?ID=28827544
  11. This offer is now closed. Selling a $20 Donation (to be made on any date of your choosing) for $15 Million. Two payments totaling $6 Million must arrive today in order to secure this deal. Please contact me here or at the nation of Bloxhelm at your earliest convenience.
  12. I'm interested, if you can get two payments to my nation today. PM incoming.
  13. Sparqs went down to the Black Market, he was looking for a Donation Deal. He was in a bind 'cos he was way behind: he was willin' to bow and kneel. When he came across this old nation pumping out money and making a lot, And Sparqs jumped upon a hickory stump and said: "Sir, let me tell you what: "I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a good-sized nation, too. "But my bills are high and rather than die, I'll make a deal with you. "Now you make pretty good money, sir, but give ol' Sparqs his due: "I'll make a donation to your nation, in exchange for Florins from you. The ruler said: "My name's Bobby," and with a devilish grin, "I'll take your deal, your gonna squeal, 'cos I'm the fastest that's ever been." Selling a $20 Donation for CN$15 Million, payable immediately! All payments must be made before May 27th. Highly preferable for you to provide most (if not all) the middlemen.
  14. This deal is now closed. In full disclosure, I compromised and accepted $15M, which is the same price I got for the last donation I sold. I suspect I could have obtained my asking price, had my situation allowed me more time. In fact, Princess Aurora Soup's post makes me wonder if I should have held out...
  15. The proud people of Bloxhelm, in preparation for a great building project, have authorized me to make the following offer: I will provide a $20 Donation to the nation of your choice* in exchange for CN$18 Million (or $15 Million plus 100 Technology units) All payments are due by Sunday, March 30th. The buyer is to provide the necessary middlemen. Donation to be made on any date of your choice, after 1st payment has been received. Send a PM here or to my nation to make arrangements. References available upon request. *Eligibility Requirements: Donation recipient must be a nation in good standing. The nation must not have any active wars, nor be subject to POW restrictions, rogue sentences, or other political sanctions. Middlemen must follow the same political eligibility requirements, though minor wars are acceptable.
  16. The advantage of owning the Internet instead of the equally priced Great Monument, is that occasionally your people will want the same government you do, at which time the GM is only adding +4 whereas the Internet still adds +5.
  17. Well, hello. Hmm, I really haven't looked into this part of the forum before. Yay, comments!

  18. I believe you are all seeing the same Interstate System math but from different perspectives. x Tela x's math makes it clear that when you are calculating from the base point, you don't get to add all of the percentages together for a giant discount; but the other point is also correct: whatever your current cost for Infrastructure, the IS will reduce it by 8%. Simple case: $1,000 per unit for Infra, 20% off for a Crane, 50% off for Alien Tech. One would like: 20% + 50% = 70% off = $300/unit However, they factor: 0.8 * 0.5 = factor of 0.4 = $400/unit Same as: I have the Crane, so my cost is $800/unit If I buy the Alien Tech, my cost is cut in half to $400/unit
  19. I recommend The Confederation - a young and growing alliance led by experienced rulers. You'll find a place where promises are fulfilled and promising nations like yours are valued. By reading your post here, I'm confident you'd make an excellent member. Marketing blather aside, what sort of alliance are you looking for? One that is mostly defensive, allowing you to grow economically? One that is more aggressive, supporting a habit of Tech Raiding? One that is spinning a web of inter-alliance treaties and playing politics to the full? One with lots of activity on the forums? One with active Tech Dealers and connections to Trade Guilds? If you seek a strong, honorable, active alliance, the Applications Office is open.
