I've had five events so far, with three currently on-going. The current three are bad: +1% Citizens and -5% land; -10% land; and -10% land. And this was in the space of about 10 days. But this is not as bad as an alliance member with three bad events in the space of a week. He has minus citizen income, minus several points of happiness. and land reduction.

To the Buyers, Ashen did discuss nation-sitting with me. Unfortunately, the way the terms are worded, the moment I logged in, everything--trade agreements and FAs--would have been flagged as cheating. (If my understanding of this is flawed, please inform us as I was willing to do it until I re-read the terms.) On related news, for those involved in the next part of the tech deal, I have sent out reminders--you should have received them by now. Reminders for the last two Buyers and 3 other Sellers will be sent out tomorrow.

Hello all, Not sure what is going with Alanon at the moment. He was in a couple of wars the other day and now there is no record of it. His nation bio pretty much says it all. (I'll be checking with my friend in the NPO about what's going on--whether a warning has been sent and such.)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Sellers' first package goes out after server reset today right? So tech to Takemikazuchi, the Invincible King, and Belgias in that order? (I can volunteer to send out the reminder to both Sellers and Buyers involved.)

Money's accepted. And it looks like we'll get to send the tech out Friday/Saturday. Oh, that works out much better. I can stay up late to clear the FAs. See you in 10.

Thank you Ashen (and Mirreille). Something work related popped up preventing me from checking back in. I'm leery of clicking through so many nation profiles, but do we still start on the 25th? EDIT: Well, this won't do. Every time I click on a nation link, another tab opens up wanting me to login again. I'll check next time.

Well, if you would allow, I would like to submit someone from my alliance: Psychoidiot of Juushin. PI was in the other 5x5 as well. All aid slots are clear (I just checked). And FYI, PI does not have a forum account (and the last deal still worked out fine--I'll along any info from the forums to PI).

I'll check with my alliance. Four of us were involved in the last 5x5 (Hi Belgias :lol: ). One's currently involved in a 3x3, another in the other 5x5, and for the last one, I did mention it... I'll confirm with that one to see whether there is interest in doing another 5x5.

Hello, I would like to apply for one of the Seller positions. My nation link is: Kulanui I was just involved with one. My FA slots will all clear tomorrow.

Still pending as of this writing. Sorry I dropped the ball last night. It wouldn't have killed me to ride both Osasuna and Psychoidiot about getting their tech out (it wouldn't have killed me, but I still felt like dying--I had a migraine--I then screwed up my tech buying, took an ibuprofen, and went to bed). Thankfully, with the next part of the second half falling on the weekend, I can pretty much stay up for it. Well, up to 4:00am CN time anyway, 5:00am would be pushing it, but it's doable. See you all soon.

I know for the player's guide there is a warning about spending money that you've sent out as foreign aid because it is possible to go into debt. if it's soldiers, I'm assuming you go into anarchy. When it's tech. I don't know. Can you have negative levels of tech? I don't know, and frankly I don't want to find out. I'll just be on for the usual hour and a half after server turnover sending and buying the lots of 50.

McAdams, thank you for the kind words. Though I can't speak for Hausmaster, we at AOD were wondering what kind of impression had been made. Here's hoping the second installment goes much more smoothly in a week's time.

I'm sorry. While Elhendakari has read my messages (according to my message board), he has not taken any action. I have less than an hour left at work and then I'm gone. I still have problems with accessing the forums from my home computer so this will be my last message of the day (really though at this point I've given up troubleshooting). I will PM Mirreille and tag him into this. My cc's have hopefully kept him appraised, and unlike me, Mirreille can access the forums.

Okay, with the exception of the Bishbash-Psychoidiot pairing, 4 Sellers (myself, Mirreille, Hausmaster, and Psychoidiot) are clear. Elhendakari is the only hold up. He still has a Pending FA with OnTopOfOurGame and has not sent to either Belgias or McAdams. As per McAdams post, I will advise Elhendakari to cancel the Pending FA with OnTopOfOurGame and send to McAdams (hopefully before he heads off for darts), and then with Belgias (who has posted), before resending to OnTopOfOurGame. With just under 12 left in the CN day, we can hope this all clears. And I'm off. EDIT: And I'm back. Okay, I've sent off a PM to Elhendakari (with a cc to Mirreille). I hope he does as I ask, in which case McAdams and Belgias could be receiving soon (I really hope).

As of this writing, Psychoidiot (PI) has an FA pending with Belgias; Elhendakari has an FA pending with OnTopOfOurGame. Bishbash has made note of his situation with PI. So the only FA tech offers not made yet are Elhendakari to Belgias; and Elhendakari and PI both to McAdams. I'll PM Elhendakari and PI and tell them to PM the other Buyers they have not made offers to yet. And if they get an immediate reply to cancel their pending FAs and re-submit to a Buyer that is confirmed online so that they can at least clear their outstanding FAs faster. I hope that is okay with the Buyers here. EDIT: Okay, I sent out the message to PI and Elhendakari (I cc'd Mirreille as well, he can continue to co-ordinate with them).
